Chapter 62: Queen Elizabeth

Curtis's spies reported the development of the situation regarding Swana in the Asaka kingdom. This made Curtis realize that King Degar was aware of his siege. He sighed and told Samuel to send a letter to visit the Asakan kingdom.

"Send an official letter to King Degar that I will visit there to accompany my wife," said Curtis.

"Yes, Your Highness. I will send an official letter immediately."

"But do not withdraw the troops. I want them to know that I will not tolerate if my wife getting hurt."

Everyone must not have expected such a horrible thing to happen. 

Curtis' madness if seeing Swana hurt is impossible for anyone to deal with.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Curtis was finally able to calm down after several days of burning emotions. Had he not remembered Swana's words of not wanting innocent lives to be lost, he would have unhesitatingly removed the Asaka kingdom from the map.

On the other hand, Swana woke up and was greeted by Nancy who was doing her usual activities. She seemed unharmed even though she had hit the wall quite hard yesterday.

"Auntie? How can you work injured?!" Swana got up from the bed in a panic. The girl pulled Nancy to sit on the bed.

Nancy calmed Swana who looked worried.

"Mr. Eden has healed me with his magic. I think His Majesty knows that too," Nancy replied.

Swana's hand froze in the air. She had completely forgotten about it.

Swana remembered that Eden had used his magic to cure Nancy.

"Oh, yes. I remember, but still Auntie couldn't work."

Nancy laughed softly. She just opened the curtains but Swana looked angry.

"How can I work in someone else's kingdom? The servants here even serve me."

Swana gave him a funny look. "Oh, well. That's a relief. "

"Never mind, the servants will be here in a moment. The king and queen await you at the dining table for breakfast."

Swana's brain started working again. She remembered the schedule she had to do today. All for the sake of peace and her agreement with Eden.

"You're right."

Nancy rang the bell. Soon the door opened and the servants rushed in. They were lined up in neat rows awaiting orders.

"Prepare a bath for His Majesty. After that, prepare a dress for her."

Nancy gave the order on behalf of Swana. Swana rarely gave orders due to royal protocol. Everything was taken care of by Swana's lady-in-waiting.

The servants quickly nodded and started working.

"They seem like special servants. Very skillful," Swana praised. If she had not been kidnapped, she would have given them gold coins.

Swana felt much better than yesterday. A bath and a change of clothes brought back her spirits. Moreover, she was wearing authentic Asaka-style clothes. Very comfortable with the long cloth. Also, the jewelry covered her skin so that it could not be seen. Asaka's typical attire really emphasizes the beauty of women. In contrast to Sinclair and Arta's clothes, which have long, fluffy skirts.

"Let's go to the breakfast room."

Swana's order was followed by the butler who got ready. He guided Swana towards the dining table.

In the dining room, Queen Elizabeth looked curious about Swana. She was upset that her favorite servant was ordered by the king to serve the queen of Sinclair.

All this time she felt that she was very beautiful and her beauty was praised by many people. So she wanted to know what Swana's face looked like to make Chief Arta so crazy about her. If Swana was not as beautiful as rumored then she would not hesitate to spread rumors to make Swana no longer famous for her beauty.

When the voice of the doorman announcing Swana's arrival was heard, Queen Elizabeth turned her head. Her body immediately froze and felt nauseous. The nausea came from a sense of defeat that she had never felt before.

"It's impossible. How can there be such a beautiful girl?" Elizabeth murmured.

Swana's clothes fit so well that she looks like a doll. Very different from her who still has a side that she needs to hide.

"Welcome Your Majesty." King Degar greeted Swana with a big smile.

Swana followed King Degar's lead. He even introduced Swana to the queen who seemed to have lost her soul.

"Your Majesty, this is my wife. Her name is Elizabeth. She is from another country," Degar said.

"Nice to meet you," Swana said and extended her hand to him.

Elizabeth was strangely silent. Her mouth was still gaping and her eyes were still wide. This created an awkward situation.

"Darling," King Degar called a little louder. Only then did Elizabeth come out of her shock.

"Oh, yes? What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked.

All the servants immediately looked down. They had to restrain themselves from laughing at their queen's ridiculous behavior.

"Forgive my queen's rudeness, your majesty. I think she is fascinated with you," said King Degar.

Swana raised her hand in front of her mouth and chuckled.

"That's no big deal. Your queen is very cute. It's a mistake to recognize her," said Swana.

"No, I did do something shameful. I am really fascinated with you. I used to think that Lady Amber of Arta was the number one beauty. Now she has a worthy rival. "

Swana agreed with Elizabeth. Amber was amazing. The girl had a fresh beauty to her eyes. The more one looks at Amber, the more beautiful one feels.

"Lady Amber is very beautiful indeed. I am even fascinated by her. I hope she and King Arta have a good marriage."

Even though it was impossible, Swana still hoped that Arsion and Amber would be together. Even though she knew Amber was leaving the palace. She did not care about Arsion's apology.

"Alright, let's have breakfast," said King Degar. He was happy that his spoiled wife could get along with Swana. He would not have been able to handle Elizabeth if Swana had taken offense. On the contrary, his wife was happy to chat with Swana. And made him the third wheel.
