A Concubine Is Not A Queen

Gayatri and Renjani stopped their conversation after seeing the arrival of Kanjeng Ibu and her five bodyguards entering the concubine's house. "Shut up, he's here!" Gayatri said.

All eyes were on the elegant figure who had just entered the hall within the concubine's house with five other people. Kanjeng Ibu's aura filled the entire hall, and the concubines immediately realized that the Queen was not a random person. Kanjeng Ibu is like an angel, and lives in a different world from them.

"Welcome, Kanjeng Ibu." Gayatri and Renjani saluted and greeted.

All the girls there bowed respectfully, following Gayatri. No one dared look at Kanjeng Bhanurasmi. Sekar also looked down, but occasionally she looked up to observe Bhanurasmi. beautiful faces, nice clothes, luxury accessories, and beautiful face makeup. So that's what a queen looks like, thought Sekar.

Bhanurasmi bowed her head to pay her respects. "I won't be long. I will only talk about important things to new people in this palace," Bhanurasmi says to Gayatri.

"Okay, Kanjeng Ibu." Bhanurasmi turned around, looking at the girls in front of her.

"Raise your faces!" Bhanurasmi gave orders to all the girls who were currently looking down. That's when they dared to look up and look at the face of Kanjeng Ibu.

"You guys are new to this palace." Bhanurasmi starts talking when all eyes are on her. "You are here to be educated and trained to become the King's concubines. Your job is to please and satisfy the King. Did you understand? "

They all answered in unison to Bhanurasmi.

"One important thing you should know. You must not have greed. Because you were trained and made concubines, you will forever be concubines. If any of you have any thoughts of having the position of Queen, then get out of here immediately! " Bhanurasmi emphasizes the sentence.

The important thing she meant was that, when a concubine began to have ambitions for the position of Queen and seduced the King as much as possible to make her Queen, Bhanurasmi did not want that to happen. because a queen, in her opinion, cannot be played by anyone. She didn't want what had happened again. especially for her son. Umbara must find the best life partner to become a queen.

"Try repeating what you said!" Bhanurasmi glared at the girl, who was considered impolite. What an impudent girl, thought Bhanurasmi.

Sekar, who admitted her mistake and carelessness, immediately bowed down to Bhanurasmi. "I'm sorry Kanjeng. I was wrong for talking too much," said Sekar. Apologize to Kanjeng Ibu and hope she is not angry. Or else Sekar will be expelled from here by Bhanurasmi.

"Insolent girl!" Bhanurasmi emphasized her voice, and although it was low, it could be heard throughout the room. Bhanurasmi is angry, but still tries to be elegant and classy.

"One way to survive in the palace is that you have to be aware of which caste you belong to. Or your heads will soon be beheaded. You understand? "

"Concubines will forever be concubines, can't be Queen. Because your caste is from the lower classes and doesn't deserve to be Queen." Bhanurasmi stated the essence of her coming there.

Just a moment to be there. It feels cramped. Moreover, hearing Sekar's answer earlier, Bhanurasmi felt that she had seen the same person after decades. That person was none other than the concubine of the previous king. Prince Ganendra's mother The concubine that Bhanurasmi hates the most because the King will be considered to influence the King to replace Bhanurasmi's position as Queen and Umbara as the main heir to the throne.

Everyone nodded in understanding. not daring to look at Bhanurasmi. They will all get into trouble like Sekar if they talk too much.

Bhanrusami turns to Gayatri, then the consort of the consort's house comes forward and salutes. "Keep an eye on her!" Bhanurasmi took a deep breath and leaked to Sekar, who was currently prostrating before her.

"Don't let her be an impudent concubine."

Gayatri looks down and says she understands. Not long after, Kanjeng Ibu turned around and gave a code to her five bodyguards. She will get out of there. It was enough that Bhanurasmi was there. They all must have understood what she said just now, otherwise their heads would have been chopped off.

After Kanjeng Ibu left, Gayatri pulled Sekar's hand. making the woman's body stand up and immediately face her. "I told you before, didn't I?"

"Don't be too curious about things!" she shouted to Sekar.

"Forgive me. I didn't mean it like that, " said Sekar.

"From now on, you will be under my care!" Then, turning, she stepped in front of the other girls.

"It's the same with you, if you dare to go against the orders of Kanjeng Ibu. You will be beheaded immediately! " Gayatri gives a stern warning.

"Now disperse and return to your rooms. We will start our activities tomorrow morning. Don't be late to gather here! "

As soon as they all dispersed at Gayatri's order, Sekar, who was still silent, was pulled by Ambarwati to immediately leave the room.

Renjani comes closer to Gayatri after the room is empty. "So you mean, Kanjeng Ibu doesn't want an incident like Prince Ganendra's mother to repeat itself?" She asked. Continuing the conversation that was postponed

"As you heard just now, Kanjeng Ibu does not want any concubines who have ambitions to become queen. She thought all the concubines couldn't be queens. The queen will only be chosen from a respectable noble family like hers," explained Gayatri to her colleague.

Renjani snorted in annoyance. "Isn't what Sekar said right? It is the king's decision".

Gayatri rolls her eyes. "What's wrong with you? You fought Kanjeng Ibu?" asks Gayatri.

Renjani shook her head. "Not."

"But think about it; the previous king chose Prince Ganendra's mother because of his own decision." We know very well that she never had any ambition to become a queen, let alone to give birth to a prince.

Gayatri stiffens her neck. Her memories go back to the times when she was still a concubine along with the now deceased Prince Ganendra's mother. Gayatri has a fear in her heart. "We all know it's true, but watch your words, Renjani. You're only going to follow her into a corpse if you keep talking about this," asks Gayatri again.
