-Cair Paravel, Eastern Mountain-
Aku sudah duduk diruang tahta sekarang. Ada Henry dan para dayangku. Henry terus melihat kearah ku dengan tatapan sedih.
" Stop looking at me that way. I'm fine " Ucapku sambil tertawa.
" Your masks[topeng] is too thick[tebal], My Queen.. " Ujar Henry.
Aku mengangkat alisku dan tersenyum.
" Your Grace... Lord Bash.. " - soldier
Lord Bash berjalan kearah kami lalu membungkuk kepadaku.
" Your Grace... " - Lord Bash
" My Lord.. " Jawab ku sambil tersenyum.
" The latest judgement from the councils on the King's marriage. As well as[serta] a discussion of your relationship with the High King " Ujarnya sambil melihat Henry dan beralih melihat ku.
Aku mengangguk mempersilahkan nya untuk membaca.
" Because the High King has claimed you as his wife before, which is basically illegitimate[tidak sah]. " Lanjut nya sambil membuka kertas.
" The councils gives you the option to break off the engagement[pertunangan] between you and High King Peter. Or continuing your relationship as an illegitimate[tidak sah] wife for the High King " Jelasnya sambil membaca dengan was-was.
Henry dan para dayang ku melihat kearah ku terkejut, begitupun aku. Para dewan benar-benar membenci ku seutuhnya.
Aku terdiam dan berfikir.
" The High King hopes that you will not break off the engagement, Your Grace " Lanjut nya sambil melihat ku.
" Why is that so? " Tanya ku
" Because no matter what, you are the High Queen. The High King still wants to help and protect you, Madame.. " Jawab nya yakin.
Aku tersenyum sambil menatapnya.
" Where is the High King now? " Tanya ku.
" Still in meetings with the councils, Madame " Jawabnya.
" Please convey to His Majesty, he has helped me more than enough and He doesn't have to help me anymore. " Ucapku sambil tersenyum.
Semua melihat kearah ku.
" You're going to break the engagement? " Ujar Henry kepadaku.
" Indeed i am, My Lord... " Jawab ku.
Lord Bash melihat ku panik dan maju selangkah kearahku.
" But, when you broke off your engagement with High King Peter, suitors[para pelamar] will come to you, My Queen " Ujar nya mengasihani ku.
" I realised that, My Lord.. Let it be my problem, i will deal with them " Jawabku yakin
" HIS MAJESTY, HIGH KING PETER! AND THE LADY BESS! " - Soldier
Lord Henry, Lord Bash dan para dayang melihat kearahku lalu berdiri menghadap pintu.
Aku berdiri dan sedikit membungkuk kepada Peter.
" My Queen... " Ucap Peter sambil menggenggam tangan ku.
Aku tersenyum dan mengangguk lalu duduk kembali. Peter melihat kearah ku lalu aku menatap nya balik dan tersenyum.
" I am happy for you, truely. " Ucapku sambil tersenyum.
" Please leave us " perintah Peter kepada semua nya termasuk Lady Bess.
