Her Marriage, Her Revenge

Chapter 27 To Revive the Knostican Palace

Inside their bedroom, Queen Asalea got something below their bed; a bag of pieces of gold. She gave it to King Timodore. "What is this?" King Timodore asked while getting the black bag handed to him by Queen Asalea. "Ouch, this is heavy."

"Please look inside my love. I will be asking a favor from you," she replied with hope in her eyes.

King Timodore furrowed as he saw the pieces of gold inside the bag. "What is this all about?

Queen Asalea sat on their bed and motioned for the King to sit beside her. "We have a lot of that at the Knostican Palace. My parents showed me that day that I was crowned the Princess of Knostican. I only thought about it lately and found out that all are still safely kept inside the secret room of our palace."

King Timodore is listening while his eyes are fixed on Queen Asalea's face. "Okay, so what are you plans, may I know?"

"I want to revive our Knostican Palace my love using a part of those tons of gold kept by my parents there. Would you help me please?" Queen Asalea's heart is expecting the King's positive reply.

King Timodore gazed at Queen Asalea and spoke in his low voice yet with authority, "You can keep all your gold; we will revive the Knostican Kingdom together. You have to remember always, your husband is a King and not a pauper."

Queen Asalea hides a smile upon hearing his husband's statement. "Thank you. I will remember that my love; sorry for forgetting sometimes." She smiled, held his hands, and kissed them.

"Don't smile at me like that wife; it is still so early to make love to you and I need to sign some documents in the office. Would you like to come with me? I will be checking the hotels also then we can pass through the Knostican palace thereafter." He suggested.

Queen Asalea suddenly remembered Marshall at the Knostican Palace.

"Asalea, I am waiting for your answer." Impatient already, King Timodore said.

"Ahh, yes, it's alright. I will come with you, my love."

At the hotel, Queen Asalea sat on the couch inside the office of King Timodore while the latter is reading and signing some documents.

From time to time, Madelie, King Timodore's Executive Assistant would come inside to give some documents, coffee, and if the King will send her on an errand.

When Madelie entered again, Queen Asalea decided to ask for coffee from Madelie, "Hi Madelie, would you mind bringing black coffee with creamer here please." She smiled at her.

Madelie looked at her unsmilingly and just nodded. Queen Asalea somehow could feel the hostility that King Timodore's Executive Assistant is trying to show to her.

"My love, what is wrong with your Executive Assistant. She seems to dislike me." Seriously, she asked her husband who just shrugged off his shoulders and laughed.

Queen Asalea frowned at him. "Maybe she likes you and she is jealous of me."

"Well, you cannot control women to like me." King Timodore teasingly said while looking at his wife.

"Hmmpp, I'm afraid to drink the coffee she will be bringing with me then. She might put a poison so that when I'm dead, she will have the chance with you... Oh wait; she has a competitor in the name of Sulie." She said teasingly too that made King Timodore's laughter grew louder.

After finishing his works, King Timodore right away asked Queen Asalea for them to go to the Knostican Palace already.

When the Mustang Car of King Timodore entered the gate of the Knostican Palace, Marshall immediately noticed it. Marshall was then standing by the window of the treehouse near the garden. Sometimes, they use that treehouse as their secret hiding place. They have at least four treehouses around the palace.

Queen Asalea was actually looking for Marshall. She believes that it is time already to introduce him to King Timodore.
