"Ehem!" William cleared his throat, making the princesses startled to hear that. "Answer Father's question honestly! What have you done to Queen Camila?"
Hearing that, Agnes frowned, Laila raised her eyebrows, Emilia swallowed her saliva, Victoria puffed her cheeks, while Charlotte held back her laughter.
Nobody answered, the atmosphere was silent, William glanced at the expressions of his five daughters who seemed to know nothing about this matter, but there was something strange about Charlotte's expression, the girl seemed to be holding back her laughter, making William curious to ask her.
"Charlotte!" William exclaimed sternly, his body facing Charlotte. "Why do you smile when you hear Dad's question? What are you laughing at? I don't think there's anything funny here."
The other four princesses simultaneously turned to Charlotte, looking at the pink-haired girl who was still showing her cynical smile. Realizing that she was the center of attention, Charlotte prepared herself to speak.
"Father, shouldn't you be the one asking yourself why you bothered so much about the wounds that befell that bad woman? Be honest with yourself, Daddy. I know, how come, right now, a part of Dad is happy because your ex-wife can leave your palace, isn't it? After all, there's no point in him being here, that woman just wanted to yell at you until she felt satisfied seeing you depressed, after that, she would leave. That's why, instead of waiting for Dad to be depressed, I hastened his schedule of leaving the palace. this in my perfect way. "
Startled, William gripped the arm of the throne firmly, his eyes bulging with anger at Charlotte's confession. Unbelievable, this all turned out to be the act of his youngest daughter to the point of seriously injuring his ex-wife. This is really outrageous.
The four older siblings did not think that their youngest sister was the culprit of this complicated problem, which forced them to leave their daily routine. Really, Agnes couldn't bear to want to curse her youngest sister into a carcass right now, the curly girl was biting her lips. Victoria puffed her cheeks even bigger, until her eyes turned red with anger at the behavior of her youngest sister.
Laila was a little worried about Charlotte's fate, she didn't want her youngest sister to be hostile to her other siblings just because the child was making a tantrum, it seems that after this, she should persuade her to apologize to Dad. Emilia shook her head, she knew very well Charlotte's habit of torturing humans, she couldn't stop thinking that her sister could be this bad, maybe punishment is the right way to make her youngest sister regret having committed a crime like this.
While Charlotte didn't seem to care much about all the sharp stares from her sisters, she focused more on her father's eyes who were now lunging into her face with unbearable anger.
"I'm sorry, Charlotte. But it seems that, for the time being, you can no longer live in this palace. Father will tell your brothers to pack your things, then order the soldiers to give you a horse so you can get away from here. not mean to expel you, but ... this is the result of sin you have to pay, Charlotte. Then, Emilia, Agnes, Laila, Victoria, go to Charlotte's room, pack everything in a big bag, then, you, Charlotte , stay here with Father. "
Hearing her father's decision, Charlotte was somewhat surprised, this is the first time she has been punished by William. No way, he thought his father would just scold him for a bit and then ask him not to do it again, but, why could it be worse than that !?
At this time, Charlotte's smile had vanished, she had no more reason to smile. While her four sisters left her alone in the throne room, Charlotte was a little frightened. He wanted to keep the four of them from disobeying his father's orders, but he couldn't do that because it was too embarrassing. Then, why did the four of them agree to their father's will to pack his things!
What should I do! I don't want to leave here! I still want to stay! If I go, who will feed my pets! To hell with everything!
Charlotte's chest suddenly tightened, her feelings swaying wildly. The sound of the footsteps of his four brothers moving away sounded terrifying in his ears. And today, he truly felt sorry for his actions last night.
"D-Dad--"
"Charlotte, come here," Charlotte's words were interrupted by her father's voice. Hearing himself being called, Charlotte walked tense to her father. When they got very close, William told Charlotte to sit on his lap sideways, the girl complied with a little force, after which, William said, "Do you still want to live in this palace, Charlotte?"
Seriously, Charlotte's eyes suddenly wet at the question, the sadness that now accompanies her has gathered in her eyes, until finally, the tears that she just showed to her biological father came out this time. Dripping like raindrops, the tears rolled down her red dress.
With a trembling voice, Charlotte replied, "I still want to stay here. Please, Dad. I just wanted to save you from that woman, but why did you--"
"What you have done, did not save Father at all, Charlotte. On the contrary, you have pushed Father into a very dark abyss and it made you suffer."
Charlotte lowered her head, what her father said was true, indirectly, the girl had made his father suffer even more. Even though the initial intention was only to get rid of the damn woman, Charlotte instead used the wrong method.
Charlotte's sobbing voice echoed through the room, when she realized that her four older siblings were not here, it made the girl even sadder. Neither of them helped her, really, Charlotte didn't believe this. He thought that one of his older siblings would scream at his father to protect him from the expulsion, but in fact, it all happened in his imagination.
"So," William said, stroking Charlotte's pink hair. "Have you regretted what you did, Charlotte?"

Knock! Knock! Knock!
"ARGA! OPEN THE DOORS!" Agnes shouted while banging on the door of Arga's room very loudly, making Willy who was asleep startled while the owner was already walking toward the door.
Cklek!
When the door opened, not only Agnes was standing in front of her, Laila, Emilia, and Victoria were also behind the curly girl. Looking at it, the faces of the four daughters were already crying.
"W-What are the four of you here?"
"There is no time! Help us! We don't want you to kick Charlotte out! Help us to get you to cancel the order! Arga!" Emilia had a super worried face when she said that.
"King William kicked out Princess Charlotte? Really?" Arga was shocked to hear this, he did not expect that a father kicked out his own biological daughter, was it because of something that King William did such a cruel thing?
"You are our only hope, Arga. You can definitely change Father's decision. I believe that." said Laila seriously, her swollen face trying to convince Arga that she should help her.
"Kumohooooooon ~ Argaaaa ~" Even Victoria had a very cute pleading face in Arga's eyes.
"Alright! You guys wait outside, I'll get ready first!"
Then, hurriedly, Arga closed the door of his room to change clothes and change his appearance as neatly as possible because he was going to meet the king. Meanwhile, Willy, who was still lying on the bed, was confused to see his best friend messing up when wearing clothes.
"Hey Arga? What is it? It seems that there are girls' voices outside, what are the princesses? Then, why are you in such a hurry? Explain to me, what happened, buddy!"
"I'm busy, Willy. Could you please save your question first?"
Willy immediately frowned in annoyance. After that, Arga and Agnes, Laila, Emilia, and Victoria hurried to go to the king's throne room, leaving Willy alone in the room.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty."
There was a deep, male voice from the entrance, causing Charlotte and William's attention to be diverted to the source of the sound.
Then, entered a man with horns wearing a black fur coat who walked gallantly with four girls in tow. Arga Gelisto, that is the man who is currently leading the four girls in walking the red carpet to William's throne.
Charlotte is amazed to see Arga's arrival, which is so cool, her excitement increases when she finds out that her four siblings are back here without carrying a bag containing her belongings, which means they don't mess up her room, but instead follow Arga to help solve this problem.
Really, Charlotte is really happy. Apparently her siblings care so much about her, they still have affection for her, really touching.
"As far as I remember I haven't ordered you to come face me, then, what is this? Why did you come accompanied by my four daughters? And, you guys, why don't you bring Charlotte's belongings that I ordered earlier?"
"Forgive me if my arrival has taken you by surprise, Your Majesty. I am here just to make sure, is it true that you have decided to expel Princess Charlotte from this palace? May I ask? What wrong has Princess Charlotte done until you expelled her, Your Majesty? "
Then, William explained everything from the beginning of this problem to the end and Arga began to understand the essence of the problem. The blonde man readied his voice to speak, while the four daughters who were behind him could only be silent waiting for Arga to speak.
"In advance, thank you for telling me everything. After hearing what you explained, I thought, expelling Princess Charlotte as punishment for her actions was wrong, Your Majesty."
William raised an eyebrow, a sign that he slightly disapproved of Arga's words. When William was about to answer Arga's statement, suddenly,
"FATHER'S KUMOHON!" Emilia screamed.
"CANCEL YOUR INTENTION!" Agnes shouted loudly.
"BECAUSE!" Victoria exclaimed.
"CHARLOTTE IS OUR BROTHER!" Laila sounded loud.
Seeing all of her brothers begging her father, made Charlotte stare in disbelief, and Arga smiled.
