Chapter 55: Bad News

A walk in the park with Arsion is not something Amber would dare to dream of. But this man appears and offers romance that she no longer wants. Making her even more bitter about her fate. So Amber let go of Arsion's hand and tried to gently push him away.

"That's enough, your honor, thank you for taking the time to accompany me," Amber said.

Arsion was again disappointed because the happiness he felt only lasted a short time. Even though he was enjoying a comfortable feeling that he had never felt before.

"Why?" Asked Arsion.

Amber blinked because she didn't know what Arsion meant.

"Pardon?"

"Why do you always push me away? Can't you let me stay by your side longer?" Arsion askrealHe was really annoyed with Amber's cold attitude.

Amber sighed, apparently Arsion forgot that she started all this.

"I'm just a noble human, so my heart can't take any more disappointment," Amber replied. "What I want right now is to get away from everything that happened. So that I can feel calm. "

"Then what about me? You don't think about me at all, Amber!" shouted Arsion.

Arsion completely forgot that it all started with her. He deliberately made the palace uncomfortable by appointing several concubines to make Amber uncomfortable. Surprisingly, now he was protesting Amber's intention to leave.

"Apparently, His Majesty has forgotten that you were the one who started it all."

"So as you wish, I will leave," Amber continued.

Arsion felt his back being splashed with cold water. Amber was right. He originally wanted to punish Amber for betraying her. But what happened was that he was the one being punished.

"No, this is not right. None of this is true. "

Arsion left Amber with an overwhelming sense of anger. Not at Amber but at himself. He should have thought about the risks before acting and now, he regrets it.

Persuading Amber to stay here became very difficult. Even though they had children, there was no emotional connection between them.

No, Arsion used to feel that connection. But it all disappeared after he brought a concubine in the palace.

'What should I do to fix all this?'

Arsion only knew how to screw up, but not to fix it. His current wish seemed to be very heavy because he didn't know how to get Amber to stay.

Unable to find answers to his problems, Arsion started sending Amber gifts. Jewelry, dresses, jewels, horses and others, he sent so that Amber would not leave. Too bad if it actually made the concubines he brought jealously. Especially Margareth. With the bottle in her hand, she planned something.

No one expected Margareth to do that. The palace was in an uproar after Amber vomited blood. She also had a miscarriage. The doctors couldn't save the baby but were able to keep Amber alive.

Arsion went to see Amber. The pale face of the girl who was always stern and haughty made him almost lose control. He screamed like crazy and told Lennon to lead the investigation.

"Amber, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you," Arsion said.

His hand grabbed Amber's hand and kissed it. But Amber just pulled her hand away.

"Don't pretend anymore, Your Highness. When you brought a concubine, you must have known that this would happen. A jealous concubine will do cruel things to the person she is jealous of. "

"Amber, I really didn't do it with that purpose?" Arsion said.

Because of one mistake he made, now Amber accused him of making Amber an object of jealousy in order to be harmed by the concubines. He knew that bringing concubines was the stupidest thing he did. Now, his son died, and his wife fell ill.

"I am so stupid. Please don't hate me," Arsion whispered.

But Amber turned her face away. She did not want to hear what Arsion said.

"There was a time when I truly loved you, Your Highness. But it all came crashing down when you brought that concubine and started showing me that I didn't matter. Now, I will truly leave your life as you wish. I've also gotten my punishment for betraying you," Amber whispered.

"No, I was wrong. Don't say that, I realized very late that I love you, Amber. Please give me a chance. "

Arsion begged like crazy. But Amber was just silent. She was too tired of the kingdom's problems. All she wanted was to sleep.

Curtis heard everything. He brought all the reports Logan had given him. He really didn't think that the once wise king would turn out to be so pathetic. He even made one stupid decision that ended up driving his son away.

"What's wrong with that man? Why is he so stupid," Curtis muttered.

"What is it, my dear?" Swana asked.

Curtis gave her the letter he received from Logan. He gave the throne to Arsion so that he could improve his life but the opposite happened.

"Oh my, did this really happen to Amber?" Swana murmured.

All she remembered was that Amber was a very beautiful and dedicated woman. She was even willing to commit crimes so that her family could survive the debt. If only she had not conspired with Arsion, she would have become the noblewoman that many other noblemen wanted.

"Then what happened?" Swana asked.

"Arsion discovered that a concubine named Margareth was the culprit. Without hesitation, he beheaded Margareth and banished all the concubines."

To Swana, Arsion's decision was unfair to the concubines. All this Arsion started but it was the people around him who suffered.

"Arsion should have made a wiser decision. "

Curtis pulled Swana's waist. He didn't want Arsion's problem to be discussed anymore.

"Never mind, we have to think about other things because right now we have enemies to catch. Eden is still out there," said Curtis.

The witch who made the Kingdom of Arta almost chaotic because of the civil war.

"Yes, but because he's a witch we have trouble catching him," Swana complained.

If the man made a scene, he might take over the mind of one more ruler. Then incite them to attack Sinclair's kingdom. This she could not allow to happen.
