Chapter 1547: Story from ten years ago (1536 missing transmission)
“Ten years ago, my doctor discovered there was a problem with my body, and they had no way to cure it. They could only use medication and treatment to slow the speed of my death. I was very worried at the time; what would happen to Laka and Samiyi if I died?” the King said, “At that time, I wanted to find a suitable successor to the throne to take care of these two children.”
“Could it be Prince Busodi?” Tan Rou asked subconsciously.
“Hmm,” the King nodded lightly, “Yes, he is my cousin, so our relationship is closer than with others. After considering for a long time, I also secretly informed Busodi of this matter, but when I spoke to Busodi about it for the first time, the excited expression on his face is something I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”
“After that, I began to hesitate,” continued the King, “I wondered whether Busodi would truly take good care of Laka and Samiyi. Perhaps he wouldn’t do anything to Samiyi, because she is a princess. But it’s different for Laka. Laka is the real heir to the throne, and the first thing Busodi would certainly do as King is to get rid of Laka.”
“Your Majesty, with all due respect, I feel that the turmoil today has been caused by you,” Tan Rou said, “If at the time you had not told Prince Busodi about your illness, but had told Prince Laka or Princess Samiyi, they would definitely not be in the situation they are now.”
“The Prince was still young at that time, the perfect age for learning, and if you had trained him then, he would probably be capable of standing on his own by now.”
The King expressed his regret, “Back then he was only in his teens, and not particularly bright. I didn’t know when I might die, so I couldn’t place such a heavy responsibility on him. As for Samiyi, after all, she’s a girl, and according to our country’s tradition, it’s impossible for her to succeed to the throne.”
Tan Rou asked, “Then why did you change your mind later on?”
“Because I discovered Samiyi’s love affair with the gardener,” said the King, “When I found out about it, I was so angry that my chest hurt for several days. I immediately had the gardener locked up, intending to make Samiyi break up with him, but instead, Samiyi told me she was pregnant with the gardener’s child, and if I dared to have the gardener executed, she would also die alongside him.”

“I immediately had a doctor check on Samiyi,” continued the King, “It turned out that the child was already five months along, and was a very healthy boy. So I wanted to keep the child.”
“Oh,” Tan Rou understood what the King meant, “The princess’s son could also be considered a little prince, and you plan to put him in line for the throne, right?”
“Not entirely,” the King explained, “My first choice after Busodi would be Samiyi, with the child coming after her. Everyone says that I am very harsh on the child, only letting him plant flowers and tend gardens, not allowing him to learn, but in fact, I have always had people secretly protect him and teach him some knowledge.”
“I also know about him sneaking out of the palace. But he is too clever and cunning; the people I sent to follow him lost track of him once he left the palace.”
Tan Rou did not offer any comment on this; after all, the King’s family dynamics and communication were very strange. It would be impossible to say they didn’t love their family members, but it also seemed they loved them in a bizarre way, considering not a single person went to search for the child when he was lost. It was simply outrageous.
“He ran off to a foreign country,” Tan Rou said, “I found him at the airport and spent 500,000 US dollars to bring him back.” Boss Tan kept raising the price, from 100,000 to 200,000, and finally to 500,000, even though she had mentioned it several times, she still hadn’t received a penny to date.
The King’s expression became very serious, “Did you really bring him back?”
“I did,” Tan Rou produced a photo that Kas had given her, meant originally for Samiyi to see. After Samiyi had seen it, Tan Rou saved the photo, never expecting it would come in handy now, “Do you recognize him?”
The King squinted at the photo, and upon seeing it was Agila, he promptly said, “Give me your bank account number, I’ll transfer the money to you immediately.”
Tan Rou was somewhat surprised, “Really?”
The King said, “I am the King, I do not speak falsely.”
