Escape To Grandpa's House

“Don't talk nonsense, Lion! Wilo and I are legally husband and wife.”

"Yes, I understand. It's just that you also have to remember that you became Wilo's husband because of a stupid contest. You are only Wilo's husband on documents and in front of Wilo's late father. But, look at you! You can't give her the physical and spiritual support she needs as a wife. How can you call yourself husband?” Lion spoke with his arms folded in front of his chest.

“It is precisely because I am fully aware of my position here that I defend Wilona as my legal wife. What husband would let his wife sleep with another man within eye reach?” Hosh was so pissed off.

"Come on, Hosh. Do not exaggerate. You know we've been married two years and I've been so kind to let you sleep next to my room. Like Lion said, you can't give me anything except that one title of 'husband' that you've always been proud of. I'm also an ordinary woman who needs affection and love. You know from the beginning Lion and I really loved each other. You came and destroyed everything. At least for now, let me have a relationship with Lion like this.” Wilo sounded so begging this time.

“Is that what you want? Do you think you will be happy when you are with that man?” Hosh asked then.

"Yes. I will be happy with him,” answered Wilo firmly.

Unable to speak anymore, Hosh chose to return to his room. Powerless, he came back out to the balcony which was in every room. Feel the night breeze with views of the moon and stars and the fountain that adorns the back garden. He was still so angry and disappointed.

The thought of Wilo and Lion making love and how the sound of pleasure sounded so melodious disturbed him. Hosh became even more determined. He wants to change. He wanted to recover from his illness and have a better life. Not for Wilo or his grandparents, not for the queen or Shenna or even anyone, but for himself.

To be honest, he loves his wife, Wilona. Who would not fall in love with a beautiful women like her. Her face was so pretty with a warm smile. Her long, wavy brown hair matched her eyes. It was a completely different scene when she started to speak.

Wilona was also quite nice person before she married Hosh. Her prestige spread throughout the clan as a beautiful and kind princess. She is the princess with the highest throne because her mother was the first concubine of the king. The king did not have a legal wife, but three concubines who each had their own children. Now he is officially the leader's daughter because his mother has risen to the rank of queen of the Zenith clan.

"I think returning to my grandparents' house is the most appropriate decision now."

Not spending much time, that same night he asked Shenna to prepare his clothes. He also asked the servant to prepare a car to take him. Hosh didn't even need permission from his wife as she would have given him a chance easily. In fact the longer Hosh was gone the better it would be for her.

Shenna realized that her master was still more pensive in his wheelchair. She realized that there must have been such a big fight between him and Princess Wilo. All of this was reinforced by Shenna who overheard two maids discussing how Shenna and Lion kissed in front of the princess's room which then both entered the room.

"Are you all right, Sir?" asked Shenna carefully.

"I'm fine. I just need a little time to rest.”

"Sir, pardon my impudence, but you are not good at lying," Shenna said, still focused on the clothes in front of her.

“Ah, you must mean what we heard earlier huh? Yes, I forgot that you heard that too. That's not a good thing. That is why I will be leaving the palace tonight.”

"Do I need to accompany, Sir?" asked Shenna politely.

"No need. You just need to be here and tell Wilo I'm going to go to my grandparents' house for a few days."

Shenna just nodded and escorted her mistress to the front yard of the palace. Where is Hosh's car parked there. A special car was given to him just because everyone didn't want to be infected by his disease. Even the driver always uses the same person. A man named Harry who is around 40 years old.

“Take me to my grandparents' house. Pick me up exactly seven days after today,” said Hosh.

"Yes, Sir."

Along the way, Hosh recalled how he could marry Wilo. It all started when Hosh was in the Crosby clan. He saw the group of warriors of the Zenith clan who so rarely came to their clan carrying an official announcement from the king. Hosh, who was always set aside, actually only accompanied his grandmother shopping for necessities at the market. Where the soldier started reading the contents of the roll of paper he was carrying.

“By order of King Alaric, we bring a message to all the people of Clan Crosby. Our beloved daughter, Princess Wilona Eve Zeline, has disappeared around the Gray Forest. This happened yesterday when Princess Wilona was supposed to go to the Lazarus clan but was stopped on her way by a group of robbers who forced her to flee into the middle of the forest. At this time, King Alaric would find out who the culprit of the robbery was. Right now, King Alaric is requesting everyone's help to find Princess Wilona.”

The man stopped and glanced briefly at the group of people in front of him.

“King Alaric has prepared an extraordinary gift for anyone who can find Princess Wilona. If he is a man and is still not married, then he will marry Princess Wilona and automatically become a candidate for king in the next government period. Meanwhile, if the man is married, then he can get gold and also an important position in the Zenith clan. If she is a woman, then she can become the adopted daughter of King Alaric and will have a comfortable life in the palace.”

Everyone stared and whispered in surprise at the king's bold decision. Some of the men who looked so fit even looked so excited as if they were sure they would be able to find the princess. Including one of them, Hosh's grandmother, who without hesitation continued to hold her grandson's arm.

“Hosh, isn't that a good opportunity for you? Who knows your fate will change if you can find Princess Wilona. They might be able to find someone who can heal you,” she said with twinkling eyes.

"Hahaha. Don't joke, Grandma. It's not going to happen."
