Chapter 168: chapter 168- "She's Unexpectedly... kind?"



"William, leave us, I want to talk with this boy Alone"

Said the Queen, with her gaze never once leaving from Taufik.

"... But, Mother, he didn't do anything wrong, he-"

"It "Queen Mother" for you, and this is an order! William... don't make me repeat it"

Said the Queen again, but this time, she diverted her gaze from Taufik to William, Saw this, William could do nothing, but he also hesitated to leave Taufik Alone with the queen.

"..."

"William-"

"Alright, I will get out, but I beg you not as a Duke of this Kingdoms, but as your son, Please don't do anything to him, he knows nothing, Mother"

"What an old lady like can possibly do something to a young man like him, I just wanted to ask some questions...now get out, I don't have much time before I go back to Buckingham Palace"

Said the queen; hearing this, although still feeling a little hesitant, William finally left the room after looking at Taufik one last time.

"... The two of you also need to get out"

Said the queen again while looking at Amanda and Caldwell.

"We too, Grandma?"

"Do I have to repeat myself again?"

"... No, we will get out"

Said Caldwell, then pulled out Amanda, who didn't seem to want to leave Taufik alone.

"..."

And in just a few moments Taufik was alone in the room with the queen.

"*Ukhum* I-I great the queen"

Said Taufik while bowing his head toward the queen. He didn't know why, but he felt so nervous right now.

"..."

The queen didn't say anything, but instead, she walked toward the couch and directly sat on it.

"... What are you doing? Sit!"

Said the queen while pointing to the opposite couch from her.

"Yes?... Ah~ yes, I will sit, I will"

Said Taufik, and then quickly came to sit on the designated couch.

But after that, Taufik didn't make any noise and only sat there like a child waiting for his punishment.

"First of all... How is she?"

"Y-Yes? She, Her Majesty?"

"Your Mother, Rosa, How is She? Is she fine?"

"Ahh~ My Mom? She's In Great health, Her Majesty"

"I see...and Grandma, Just Call me Grandma like how's Amanda and Caldwell call me, After all, you are also my Grandkid"

Said The Queen, who took Taufik by Suprise as how Kind the queen was; he didn't expect she was this kind after seeing how she behaved toward William just Now.

"and also, don't talk too formally to me; I don't like it when my grandkid does that... let only my children do that"

The Queen added with a smile but at the end of her words, Taufik could feel regret.

"Now I remember it, Among my kids, only your Mother who rarely speaks formally to me... does she know that I don't like that?... Why does she have to leave, Can't she just talk nicely to me if she didn't like the marriage that I have arranged for her?"

Hearing this, Taufik finally knew why his mother ran away from this house. However, Taufik began to feel that there was something strange about all this.

'... did they have a misunderstanding or something?'

"Let's stop talking about such depressing things and tell me how your life is so far, are you lacking? or is there something you want to do but haven't realized? tell me, maybe I can do something, and don't refuse me, let me fill the figure of a Grandma that has been empty in your life for the past few years, at least that's all I can do, so tell me"

Said the queen again, and Taufik, who heard that, of course, was very happy; which person would not be happy if your grandma, who was a Queen, said that to you? If your request is not too excessive, you can ask for anything, maybe.

"If so, I won't hesitate...

After saying that, Taufik begins to tell his Queen Grandma everything that has happened in his whole life, and Of course, he only tells her anything that can be told.

--------------

- Outside The room.

Since leaving the room, Amanda began to feel worried, which made her walk back and forth and occasionally look towards the door, hoping that the door would open quickly.

"Amanda, Calm down, Nothing will change if you do that, just wait quietly"

Said Caldwell, who was leaning on the wall beside the door while crossing his arms; however, even though Caldwell tried to calm his sister down by saying that, it seemed like he was not in a calm state either, as could be seen from his index finger which kept tapping his upper arm.

"But... "

"No, but. you know how Grandma has treated us so far, and she seems also to know who Taufik is, so everything is going to be fine, and besides that...

Said Caldwell and then looked in his Father's direction, who was also leaning on the wall of the other side of the door beside him while closing his eyes.

... Isn't it the time you should tell us Everything, Father? You seem like you already know about Taufik before us. How so?"

Hearing that, Amanda also looked at her father with a look that asked for an explanation, she was so happy before because she would show her father the son of her sister whom her father had not met for a long time, but it seemed that her father had known about Taufik's whereabouts long before, which meant he also knew where their aunt was now, and despite all that, he did not tell them about it.

"It's not like I don't want to tell you guys about that; in fact, I really want to tell you guys about it," said William.

"Then why you don't tell us? You know how hard we try to search for her and never find anything, it is also because of you and Uncle, father?"

Ask Amanda. In all of the time that she and Caldwell used to try to search for Linda's whereabouts, they always ended up in a void; they couldn't find anything; it was like something was trying to stop them from knowing the truth.

"Now, Now! Before you guys get angry, I have to tell you that I and your uncle didn't do it intentionally, we can't do anything about that because it's your aunt herself who wants it to be like this, it was part of the agreement we made..."

"Agreement? What Agreement?"

"What Happened that night is...

---------------

- Flashback.

"Brother, I want to leave the house"

Said Young Linda, who suddenly entered William's workspace.

"...Yes?"

"I want to leave this house, I can't endure this anymore, I will leave this Family"

"Wait! Wait!! Wait!!!... What?"

Ask William who was Confused by this absurd situation he was in right now.

"I wanted to leave this house, and never go back anymore, I will change my Name and live a life the way I want, but I need your help for me to be able to leave this house"

"..."

Hearing his sister's request, William couldn't put what young Linda said into his mind, it really didn't make sense to him.

"Wait, Rosa, Explain to me one by one, so I can understand how and why you wanted to leave. Don't just come and say something unreasonable like that"

Said William while massaging his nose Bridge.

"Just Now, Mother told me about marriage, she told me she would marry me to the prince of Denmark... Mother said that this was the only thing I could do to serve the kingdom... I always obeyed all her orders, but not this time, I had it enough, I couldn't bear it anymore... So this will be the first and the last thing I disobey Mother... So you need to help me, Brother"

"Rosa, My Sister, You know what you just said, Right?"

"Yes And I'm Serious about it, no one can't Change my mind, not you, not Brother Edmund, not even Mother can"

said young Linda with full confidence, She seemed to have made up her mind.

"... Alright, Let's Talk to Edmund first..."

Said William, But not intending to help Linda, but to...

'And maybe he can inject a little sanity into your messed-up brain'

But not like he thought; instead of Rejecting, Edmund gave his full support to Young Linda and helped her get out of the palace.

"Wait! Wait!! Edmund, why are you supporting her? I told her to meet you, not for this; what would Queen Mother say if she found out about this?"

William said to Edmund after dragging him to the corner so Young Linda would not hear what they were Talking About.

"... But Brother, You know how hard she works to cover the shortcomings that our sisters have, right? But it wouldn't work, you know what Kind of Family we belong to, just hard work will not work... if she stays here, it will just break her apart, living somewhere quite far from here might be better for her"

"But she is still our Family; we can't just let her go to the outside world, just like that, right? what about the Queen Mother? what would she think if her beloved child suddenly left? no matter how you look at it, this doesn't make sense at all"

"Queen Mother will probably be angry and sad; it can't be avoided and about Our Sisters, let's do it like this... "
