Married for Revenge
Chapter 8 The Siasat of Queen Safiya

The Queen is in her room, waiting for the results of an investigation that is being carried out by the bodyguard to uncover who killed the King.

"Hamba has found the real killer,"

"Say who is he?"

"Servant Prince Aslan!" sahut Hamza and the prince went into his mother's room and stopped at the door.

Hamza and the Queen are shocked, with the arrival of the prince Aslan. Prince Aslan was even more shocked that his loyal servant was accused of having murdered his own father.

"Hameza! What are you saying!" The prince approached his mother.

"Explain Hamza. What do you know about the poison" Queen Safiya looked at Hamza.

"Good Queen..." Hamza then explained how his investigation could be concocted on the prince's servant named Almira.

"There were some powder stains from the clothes that Almira wore when the murder happened that night."

"No! It can't be!" Prince Aslan was shocked. Not without reason he was surprised like this.

Almira is his servant. And she was worried about being considered rebellious by her mother through her servant.

"Hamba doesn't believe the servant committed the murder. Wh-wh-what for? He's just a waiter. Which might have gone so far,"

"Hamza call Almira in front of me!" the Queen's word to her personal bodyguard.

"Quiet prince. We're gonna bring that girl here. In front of me he will admit everything" Queen Safiya said.

In Almira's room, she was talking to Arga in secret.

"If one of us gets caught, I hope I don't mention his partner's name or I can't save you," said Arga who had heard first from a spy if Almira was in danger. Hamza through the laundry washerman has found the owner of the clothes affected by the poison stain.

"I'm so scared" said Almira when she didn't realize there was a poison stain on her shirt.

"I'll save you. You just have to calm down and give a reasonable excuse" Arga said to Almira, whose lips were trembling with fear.

"Will I be put to death?" Almira could not calm down at this moment. Soon he will be arrested for the murder of Mr. Ahmet.

"You just need to calm down. I'm coming to save you. So you calm down" Arga said to the trembling and restless Almira.

"Should I admit that I put the poison?"

"No. You said you didn't know anything. As if someone else is slandering you. Whatever happens say know nothing, understand, ...sttttt. I'll hide" Arga then hide by the bed when Hamza comes with some palace soldiers.

tok tok!

Hamza knocked on the door of Almira's room. Almira trembled even more though she let them in.

"Yes, comein!" Almira looked at meu fearfully at Hamza as well as the soldiers standing at the door.

"We have come at the behest of Queen Safiya. Found poison in the shirt you wore during King Ahmet's murder. You can come with us and explain it to the Queen" Hamza said.

"No! I don't want to! I don't know shit. I'm not guilty!" Almira took two steps back and her hand went forward. He refused to face the Queen. The fear in him made his mind unable to think calmly.

Hamza looked at him full of sightseeing. That's right the Queen said. If you want to catch fish, you must be given bait. I don't know what it all means only the Queen and Hamza know their purpose. Who they suspect is a rebel in the palace. Only they know.

"Sorry Almira. If you refuse it then we'll have to act according to palace procedures,"

"No! Nay! I'm not guilty!"

"You can say it in front of Queen Safiya" Hamza said, glancing at the soldiers and gesturing at them.

The soldiers then approached the frightened Almira and took her forcibly to the Queen.

Benazir who will investigate the photos of his parents is shocked to see Almira brought by the soldier and the Queen's right hand.

"Why did they bring Almira? What's going on?" Benazir knew nothing about the politics the Queen was doing.

The Queen is suspicious of anyone who wants to usurp Mr. Ahmet's power. And he's doing this to uncover the culprit.

"I have to see Sima. I hope Sima can explain the father and mother relationship with Mr. Ahmet," Benazir said in his heart.

Benazir searched Sima's room. And Sima immediately opened the door when he found out that Benazir was outside his room.

"Sima, I came because there's something I want to know about you,"

"Say. You came to surprise me" said Sima, who was tidying her clothes near the closet.

"Here, look at this photo. Can you explain who he is and what his relationship with the King is?" Sima was surprised to see Benazir carrying the sacred photo.

Sima then looked at Benazir sharply.

"Where did you get this picture? If anyone finds out you're punishable?" sima said to Benazir.

"I'm from the Palace library. The queen asked me to study politics. And I'm interested in this photo. Tell Sima I want to know their past," asked Benazir very much.

"But.this is a big secret. And it could put your soul in danger if the Queen finds out,"

"What's really going on? Say Sima?"

Sima then tells Benazir if in the past when the princes were not born, the King fell in love with the woman in this photo. But the woman chose to marry the King's cousin.

The King was heartbroken and married Queen Safiya without love. Every night the King stared at the stars and spoke to this photo of the woman. The Queen began to get jealous of the girl in the photo.

More and more, the queen's jealousy grew - so when the King secretly met the woman and forced her to come with him and leave her husband. But the woman did not want to because she was pregnant.

The Queen then seeks the whereabouts of the woman and wants to eliminate her.

After that, I no longer know the story. The woman disappeared as if swallowed by the earth with her husband.

And the King stopped seeing the woman. The Queen also gave birth to Prince Aslan. And happiness has returned in this family since Prince Aslan was born

But the problem again occurred when the King had a concubine. When the Queen had just given birth, then Queen Safiya wanted to sleep apart from the king for two months. Until she recovered from childbirth.

And in those days, the king chose a concubine. The Queen was very sad and disappointed. The Queen then often quarreled with the King and made the King even more angry in addition to alienating the Queen and her son in his small kingdom.

After exile, the Queen returned with her son and a servant named Hamza. The queen became stronger and did not resist her husband despite having many concubines after his death in exile.

Then there are rumors that Hamza and Queen Safiya have a romantic relationship during their exile. It shattered King Ahmet's pride and made him furious.

The frightened Queen ran away with her bodyguards.

"Then...."

"Benazir. I told you what you wanted to know. And you'd better know nothing than your life is in danger" Sima warned Benazir.

Tok tok!

"Some one's coming. Hide quickly!" sima said to Benazir.

Benazir then hid under the bed.

The one who came was Prince Aslan. He looked around the room and came looking for Benazir.

"I came to find Benazir. My mother wants to meet him,"

"Sorry Prince. Princess Benazir isn't here," Sima was forced to lie. He doesn't want to be close to anyone because he's dangerous and lives are at stake. He should always be neutral in order not to get involved with the various allegations.

"alright. If you meet her, tell her that the Queen wants to meet Benazir,"

"Well Prince...." Sima bowed his respect to Prince Aslan.

After Prince Aslan left, Benazir immediately came out of hiding and met Sima.

"You better not come here often. Extremely dangerous. The one who sees it will accuse a conspiracy of being committed,"

"alright. I-i understand. I have to go and see the Queen immediately, and thank you for telling me the story...." Benazir quickly exited from Sima's room.

While Sima was fixated and sorry for being open to Benazir.

"Gosh...What am I doing? Why do I tell the King's past. What if the girl spreads it..."

I like kebablasan....
