20. Ladyana's Grief

"Arrest this woman and put her in the dungeon. I don't want anyone else in my palace. Let her rot in that prison until she does all I want."

"Grandpa? Grandpa, why what happened to Grandpa? Why is Grandpa angry with Queen Ladyana? She must be innocent. Even if she bumped into Grandpa, I'm sure she didn't mean to."

King William 1 looked at King William then he looked back at his feet. He didn't want his grandson to know that he was just pretending he couldn't walk. He wanted King William to do something to Queen Ladiana whom he believed was innocent in that regard.

"Don't you see that grandfather's legs can't be used anymore? Do you prefer defending her than defending me? I really can't believe the behavior of my beloved grandson. I never thought that he would defend other people more than defend his own parents. You are really evil and unreliable. Now you must accompany her in prison. Soldier, Arrest King William and throw him in prison along with this woman."

Queen Ladiana looked at King William 1 and King William alternately. She never thought that her mistake would cause the young king in front of her to experience the same thing as her. Queen Ladyana then dropped her body and tried to hug King William 1's feet to apologize for the mistake she had done and asked King William 1 to undo her intention to imprison King William with her.

"Just punish me, please. His Majesty King William has done nothing wrong to you. I was the one who made His Majesty fall and could not walk so I must be held responsible."

"It's good that you come to your senses. But whatever I have said I will never undo. You both must be imprisoned underground so that each of you can understand how your condition is right now. Soldiers don't wait long. Arrest them both and imprison them in a prison. room. I will never forgive anyone who has wronged me, even my own grandson, I have to be punished equally for his actions in defending this guilty person."

"My majesty, please don't imprison your majesty the king. He is completely innocent and only I am guilty."

King William who saw Queen Ladiana still hugging his grandfather's legs then stepped closer to Queen Ladyana and lifted the woman's body so as not to overdo it in defending her.

"You don't have to defend me because I too will accept what grandfather has said. Grandpa is the king here. The first king of the kingdom of Arandelle so whatever he says is the law I must do. Now get ready to head to the dungeon as requested by grandpa."

"No, Your Majesty. Your Majesty the King is innocent. It is enough for me to suffer punishment and the king may not be with me in the dungeon which I believe is very stuffy."

"No. Never mind, don't keep defending me because I'm also guilty of violating the king's orders. So far, whatever Grandpa has said is the law. We all have to obey him sincerely because that sincerity will lighten our punishment and will make our hearts calm."

Queen Ladiana lowered her head then she nodded silently. She really did not expect that what she did accidentally would lead her to a prison where she had been afraid for so long because sshe was sure he would experience extreme torture while in that room.

The soldiers then took them both to the room that had been determined by king William 1.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, please come in! I will immediately lock this door and I will return upstairs."

King William nodded, then he took Queen Ladyana's hand to enter into a minimalist house with two bedrooms facing each other. There was a sofa between the rooms and some furniture they could use for eating and drinking. The kitchen also looks very neat. Some foodstuffs were already available there and it was provided for the captives so that they would cook the food they would eat themselves.

King William who still saw Queen Ladyana still stunned by the room she was in, wanted to try to approach the woman. He stared at Queen Ladyana's face in silence. His heart really hurt when he saw the woman he loved so much had to be in an environment that he shouldn't have.

"Forgive my grandfather if he overdoes it in punishing you. Grandpa doesn't know who you are. If you knew for sure he wouldn't act arbitrarily like this."

Queen Ladiana nodded, then she lowered her head. She was embarrassed because she had to be in the same house with a man who was highly respected by the kingdom of Arandelle. Several times she tried to wipe her tears but they were wiped away. The tears were still flowing.

King William who witnessed Queen Ladyana crying then pulled the woman's body into his arms. He really felt very disappointed in king William 1 who had been so ruthless.

"I will look after you here. I will never let you be uncomfortable in a stuffy room like now."

"N-nothing, your majesty. Let me go and let me into that room. I can't be with your highness here. I don't deserve to be in the same room with people who are highly respected by their citizens. I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

King William was actually very disappointed with Queen Ladyana's refusal. Nevertheless he still obeyed the woman's request and let her into the room which was close to the living room. After entering the room, Queen Ladyana immediately sat down on the couch. She looked up at the ceiling and looked around trying to make sure she would be comfortable staying in the room.

"Oh my God forgive me for bringing a great king to prison with me just because he tried to defend me who had done wrong to keep King William 1."

"Why don't you lie down? Why are we sitting like that? Haven't you been sitting down for a long time and never entered your room to rest? From now on when you have problems sharing with me. I will be a friend as well as a friend who will help solve the problem. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty. That's all I can say to Your Majesty who has helped my life a lot. I promise to repay Your Majesty's kindness with anything, even with my own life."

King William nodded and smiled sweetly at Queen Ladyana. He was really happy because he got the chance to be alone with the woman he had missed so much.

When they were chatting together from different places, Queen Ladyana suddenly screamed, making King William forced to enter the room currently occupied by Queen Ladiana.
