A Prince's Love

Alena sat quietly, she listened carefully to her Mother-in-law's orders which explained what to do. Alena breathed a sigh of relief. She was only told to sit and watch the series of events. She can't imagine if she had to stand up with her body still in pain.

After how long She listened to her mother-in-law explain Alena became restless. Her seat became a little uneasy. She felt the pain starting again. Maybe the effect of the medicine this morning had lessened. Alena began to sweat coldly her body twitched restlessly. The pain was gnawing at her.

And Queen Sabrina caught on to that. Her eyes stared at Alena from head to toe. Queen Sabrina really realized that her son had hurt Alena badly.. Alena looked very sick even though the doctors had treated her. Though usually never happened like this. Rarely does anyone have to involve a doctor like Alena's case? Even if there is a pain but it is considered normal. It's natural for women to experience pain when doing it the first time but it will quickly disappear if the two of them can enjoy it together

"Does it still hurt?" She asked worriedly. Queen Sabrina's intelligence immediately knew what had happened to Alena. Alena shook her head but then nodded. The pain continued to bite, She then began to shed tears.

"Servant ... give Princess Alena's medicine"

The servant immediately brought medicine for Alena and Alena immediately take it.

"Do you want to lie down, Honey? You look in a lot of pain. Poor you. Why my son couldn't handle your first night. Why did he hurt you so much? What has he done? He should have had some experience doing it, considering you were his second wife." Queen Sabrina's eyes continued to stare at Alena.

Alena didn't answer, but her face grimaced in pain and her breathing began to feel heavy.

"You can lie down first, your servant will accompany you" said Queen Sabrina then. 

She seemed to be investigating something. Alena nodded gratefully. She then got up with the help of the maid and walked to the bed. Lie down feeling pain. How painful, how painful. Queen Sabrina followed Alena and sat beside her.

"Alena, did my son hurt you so much?" Queen Sabrina seemed to want to confirm what happened last night. Alena didn't answer. She was just silent and didn't dare to say anything.

Queen Sabrina's brain immediately analyzed and her face immediately changed when she realized something. She then got up and said, "Alena, rest until the ceremony starts. I want to straighten something out first"

Alena of course did not understand what Queen Sabrina would do. She just nodded weakly looking at Queen Sabrina who stepped out accompanied by her servants.

The Servant didn't understand where Queen Sabrina was going but just followed with hasty steps. It turned out that Queen Sabrina headed for the Harem. The two guard eunuchs immediately bowed their heads in respect. Queen Sabrina ignored it, she went straight to Princess Reina's room.

Princess Reina seemed to be lazing on the bed while watching TV. In her hand was a bowl filled with snacks. Last night she could not sleep imagining her husband spending the night with Alena. And She is waiting for the spies that She keeps in the Palace of Muthmainnah. But he immediately jumped out of bed when her servant announced the arrival of Queen Sabrina.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother...." Princess Rheina bowed her body but she was immediately shocked when Queen Sabrina suddenly grabbed her hand. Princess Reina screamed in surprise when Queen Sabrina rudely raised Princess Reina's right hand and then exposed Princess Reina's clothes on the sleeve. Queen Sabrina's face went pale when she saw the red dot on her white skin.

"H.. how could this happen??" Queen Sabrina shouted loudly. She was really mad at the fact that Princess Reina was still a virgin. So what blood was on the bedsheet at that time?

"Servant!!! whip Princess Reina's feet first until she confesses what happened?"

It was like madness for Queen Sabrina to know that her son and daughter-in-law dared to conspire to lie to her. Since last night She realized there was something strange with his son. Nizam's behavior in treating Alena as if it was not the act of an experienced man. Especially considering that Nizam really loves Alena. Everything should have gone smoothly last night. She began to realize again seeing Alena so tortured and in pain. This means that Nizam does not treat Alena as a man who has had a husband-wife relationship. And if Nizam was still a virgin at all when he did it with Alena, it means that the first night with Princess Reina was a lie.

Princess Rheina immediately screamed for mercy but then she was helpless when both of her hands were held by Queen Sabrina's two servants. Until then the sound of the rattan whip colliding with Princess Reina's soft skin sounded so scary to the ears of all the harem residents. They didn't understand what was going on inside Princess Rheina's room.

"Aah... Queen Mother... I beg for forgiveness... I am helpless at that night ..." Princess Rheina groaned then screamed and then moaned again.

"How dare you lie to me..and how stupid of me to be able to lie to you, What blood was yesterday? What blood?? Why did my servant not know that it was not holy blood" Queen Sabrina was really hysterical. She even grabbed the whip and then whipped Princess Reina's legs with her own hands.

Nizam had just finished the press conference when someone whispered in his ear about what was going on in the Harem. Nizam suddenly stood up. He then said goodbye to the reporters and immediately walked towards the Harem. After all Princess Rheina is his wife. And actually, from the bottom of his heart, Nizam cares about Princess Rheina. He is her husband who must be responsible to her. He couldn't let Princess Rheina be killed especially because it wasn't her fault. He is a man, her husband, although He does not love her He must save her. Princess Rheina could die beaten by her mother.

"Mother!!! please stop!!" Nizam immediately snatched Princess Rheina from the grasp of her mother's servants. Her condition was far more terrible than when Alena was whipped. Alena was whipped for her mistake while Princess Rheina was whipped for Nizam's fault. As soon as Nizam pulled Princess Rheina, Princess Rheina's body immediately collapsed in Nizam's arms. She fell unconscious in pain.

Queen Sabrina stood up from her seat. She had whipped Princess Rheina's leg while sitting down. She looked at her son's face with horrific eyes. Nizam stood still holding his wife who had collapsed unconscious in his arms.

"Give me a good explanation, Everyone... You have already succeeded in fooling me, fooling the Azura kingdom and people. The death penalty is worthy of Princess Rheina"

"Mother, please calm down, let me lay Princess Rheina down first. Let Princess Rheina's legs be treated. I beg you, be generous. However, Princess Rheina is your daughter-in-law and daughter of Uncle Salman." Nizam began to carry Princess Rheina's body which was so pale.

Queen Sabrina held her rattan whip tightly but she let Nizam lay his wife down. Nizam laid down Princess Rheina's body carefully. His heart was sliced ​​when he saw the marks of the rattan whip on Princess Rheina's calf. The blue and red colors are very real on the white skin of the calves. Nizam then turned to Servant who stood shivering in fear seeing her master being whipped. "Treat her properly" Nizam ordered. The servant nodded.

Nizam approached Queen Sabrina and hugged her gently. "Mother... your health is more important than anything. Don't let small problems disturb your health." Nizam tried to calm his mother's heart. He led his mother to sit on the sofa.

"What did you say? A small matter?  you have lied to me, the Azura Kingdom, and the people? Where do you want to keep my face as the head of the Harem? Later I will be deemed unable to lead the Harem... You! Nizam!  really dare to make me, your own mother loses face."

"Your Majesty Queen Mother, you do not need to lose face if this matter is not heard out. Let the walls in this room keep this big secret. Mother, let's say that the incident at that time was my ego not wanting to touch a woman who I did not love. I apologized to princess Rheina"

Such is the fate of living in the kingdom of who is at fault and who is punished. It was clear that Nizam was guilty of lying but the one to blame was Princess Rheina who was only a victim. Even Nizam apologized on his behalf.

Queen Sabrina was silent. Princess Rheina is the daughter of her brother. She and Princess Rheina are still one family. Her father was a prime minister whom She relied on to take care of the kingdom. Because her husband is sick. She also still cannot rely on Nizam to lead the kingdom because de jure (law) and de facto (reality) Nizam is still not king. So the only proper way to cover all this incident is as She said to Nizam.

"Get Princess Rheina pregnant as soon as possible!!"

Nizam almost fell from his chair at his mother's words.
