Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

The Journey Home

"It's time for me to go home" said Alice leaving Antonio with a faint smile. The sun is starting to move west. It should be time for a break from government officials.

"Be careful. I'll be waiting for you in two weeks" said Antonio gently with a friendly smile. Alice looked at him flatly. "Has this brat forgotten about our discussion about keeping honor and bowing our eyes?" that's what his face meant.

"Better just pay attention to your education," Alice commented, "The kingdom needs a wise leader more than a romance story."

"What?" Antonio didn't hear it that much. Alice had already entered the carriage. Prime Minister Duke vi Alverio was also sitting there. The horse-drawn carriage Family vi Alverio drove away from the palace.

Before returning to the territory, Alice asked Duke vi Alverio for lunch together. They returned to the residence vi Alverio in the capital.

"It seems that father is too worried about your relationship with the crown prince" Duke vi Alverio said warmly during the trip. Seeing his daughter can smile like that in front of his fiance even though it is very thin has made the prime minister happy. What else does it seem like the crown prince showed no rejection.

"Yes, that is," Alice replied briefly and coldly. So cold, Duke vi Alverio almost revoked all expectations back.

"What about Dad?" alice asked, "Dad rested well, right? Don't push yourself."

"Of course, my daughter," Duke vi Alverio comforted. Of course Alice saw the seriousness in that answer. Obviously his father's face grew pale and wrinkled from day to day.

"We just got the latest news from the Count de Aries area earlier," Duke vi Alverio said, "Thank God the problem there can be resolved. Unfortunately we don't have much information to catch the mastermind."

"Are there no traces at all?" ask Alice in curiosity. He will ask Anna. With the connection, surely more information can be achieved.

"We found a magical reaction in the kidnapped people. Unfortunately the witch disappeared somewhere along with her leader. The Witch's Tower has been contacted about this," Duke vi Alverio said, "Alice, be careful when you return home. I don't want anything to happen to you. Is it better to hire a witch from the Witch Tower?"

"Don't!" snapped Alice. His face immediately angrily showed disbelief. He almost stood in the chariot if Duke vi Alverio did not hold him. His hands clenched tightly so much. His eyes held back sobbing in disappointment, "Does Dad still relate to them after what happened to his mother? Why don't you understand? Mother forbids you from interacting with witches not without reason!"

"No, it's not, Alice," Duke vi Alverio retracted his words. Her face showed concern seeing Alice who was starting to shed tears. He just remembered that his daughter really hated things related to magic. Ever since Duchess Evianna vi Alverio died, Alice has been closing her heart to magic.

"Enough!" Alice closed her eyes with both hands. He was crying sobbing. How could his father bring up the witch again after so many years?

That's not unnatural. In political affairs, Duke vi Alverio often interacts with witches. What's more he is a faction of the royal family that also supported the Witch Tower.

"Could you be manipulated as well?" alice in her tears. His last memory of the day reappeared. Duchess Evianna's last smile was painted on her mind. The sound of her crying back then was also faintly heard in her heart. Very sad and heartbreaking.

Without notice, the short journey was over. The horse carriage had arrived in front of the residence. Alice hastily wiped away her cries, but there was still a damp mark left there.

Duke vi Alverio could not do much. As he got off, the lunch that should have been a happy parting moment turned grim. An awkward feeling enveloped around.

At and after lunch there was nothing Alice and Duke vi Alverio were talking about. The gloomy Eve was until it could be felt by the servants. What else will Anna after this will come with Alice to Duchy vi Alverio.

"Take care of your health, Father," Alice finally spoke before boarding the horse-drawn carriage to return to the region. He still did not want to look at Duke vi Alverio. Duke vi Alverio can only smile. He stroked Alice's head and kissed her forehead before leaving. "Of course, you don't have to worry."

Alice's carriage departed. Dozens of Family knights vi Alverio escorted him. They drove neatly during the trip.

"The little princess has departed," a cloaked man who has since noticed Alice's movements reported. He observed from an empty mansion not far from Duke vi Alverio's Residence. As he reported his observation, his eyes met one another's eyes with Anna looking at him sharply.

"Maybe it's just my imagination" the spy's inner self. His heart was scared. The look of the woman he saw was terrifying.

"Is there a problem, Miss?" anna asked after seeing Alice's condition begin to improve. He had never seen his nona so sulky before. He thought he might be able to help.

"It's nothing" Alice refused to explain and asked something else, "What are the conditions in County de Aries?"

"What do you mean Miss?" Anna did not expect. He obviously knew the information, but of course he could not divulge it to anyone.

"Didn't you call Miss Maria Saville this morning again?" alice said that made Anna even more surprised. He was caught by Alice. Nah! She contacted him while on a horse-drawn carriage to the House vi Alverio while Alice was still in the palace at that time.

"Really, right?" alice asked with a flowery fairy smile. Apparently he was just guessing. Looking at Anna's reaction, Alice was pretty sure, "Then what's the situation?"

"Ehm.. although Miss asked, it was quite troublesome to tell," Anna reasoned. Anyway, he can't lie.

"Is that so? Well then, has the place really improved?" ask Alice later.

"Miss take it easy, the place is very safe now," Anna replied involuntarily. Alice became more convinced. Anna continued, "There's no sign of a new abduction lately."

"That's great" said Alice as if she already knew everything, "Then what about the witch?"

"Eh!? How did Miss know we caught the witch?" Anna again released. Alice smiled cleverly. He got more info than he needed. It has been confirmed that Saville's family is involved in the case.

"Wait, Miss! What do you mean confirmed?" surprised Anna felt played.

"Calm down, the Pearl Palace won't report it," Alice said of making Anna relieved but it made her even more nervous.

"How much do you know about us?" Anna finally confessed and questioned.

"As much as Big Brother taught me," Alice replied casually.

"Eh!? Meanin?" Anna doesn't understand.

"It's nothing" Alice said, "It's better to explain the witch's condition to me. I can keep a secret."

"I'm sorry, Miss," said Anna softly and firmly, "That information you don't need to know."

"But I should be able to know how they move," said Alice seriously, "I don't want to be made into a collision by them?"

"Wait on! Actually how can Miss understand these things?" Anna could no longer contain her shock. He frowned worriedly. His greatest mission is to protect the little girl.

"I read Princess Elianna's journal" Alice replied honestly. He pulled out an old book from his bag. He knew the princess was his aunt. However, he never met her apart from the paintings on display in the Pearl Palace. It is noted that his mother and the princess were the first owners of the Pearl Palace.

Hearing the srikandi's name, Anna was immediately dumbfounded. The name had not been heard in his ears for a long time. Memories of the past came to him. He hurriedly kicked her out. He had to think of the princess in front of him now. Do not let him act rashly because he knows that fact.

"Miss please be careful," Anna wished to be shrivelled but Alice could still hear it. Fear also covered his face. The shadow of a person filled with wounds and blood haunted him.

"Sister, what's wrong?" ask Alice to worry.
