"Sister, what's wrong?" Alice was astonished to see Anna's trembling body. The girl surnamed Saville gasped when she heard the call of the person she had been serving since childhood. He just hung up the phone.
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Anna spontaneously asked. Alice opened her eyes several times. He has the right to ask that. They were around the courtyards of the queen mother's house.
"I've just finished talking to Grandma" Alice replied lightly and asked, "Sister, why is she here? What made Brother tremble like that."
Anna realized that Alice had been watching her since. He also breathed regretting his carelessness. Again, he was caught by Alice while having an important conversation.
"Sorry, Miss," Anna folded her hands together, "That's not something I can tell you."
"Come on. tell me," forced Alice down. Her faith still could not make Anna open her mouth. The hooded dayang shook firmly. "Can't, Miss. I hope you understand."
"Sister has helped me a lot. Just say!" persuade Alice not to give up, "I also want to help you."
"Your best way to help right now is to do good," Anna smiled knotingly, "I'd be very happy if you did, Miss."
"Am I just going to be a burden?" ask Alice glumly. He had an accurate guess in his mind. So, he won't force.
"You are not a burden, Miss," comforted Anna softly, "You are our hope. Therefore, you must grow well."
"Hm," Alice nodded her head still looking gloomy. Anna felt bad for him, but it was the best. Her main task is to guard the only princess of the Kingdom of el Vierum.
"Thank you for your understanding" Anna smiled, "I have to meet with Madame Marchioness van Ryvat after this. Sorry, I can't accompany you."
"Yes, hurry back" said Alice. He also left a figure that was like a second mother and her best sister. Hands clenched. He was determined not to be a burden to others anymore.
"Madam, I come to the front," said Anna after greeting her. Marchioness van Ryvat answered and invited Anna to sit down.
"You've grown and become more beautiful, Anna," Marchioness van Ryvat looked at Anna as gently as if she had seen her own daughter, "When she first met, you were still Alice's age. It feels like just yesterday. Time passes very quickly. Have you still not found a 'true friend'?"
The question of Marchioness van Ryvat left Anna almost choking. Although he had heard the question a lot lately, he had not expected Marchioness van Ryvat to make it the first question. He also took his breath to calm down.
"My work is still not done, Madam," Anna said. His job to protect Alice is not finished and he does not know when it will be finished.
"In my country," Anna was still not affected by Marchioness van Ryvat's nagging, "This age is indeed the right age to marry a girl, but it's still not too late to delay it until the next few years."
"really? Isn't your ideal time two to three years away?" Marchioness van Ryvat stared in the search. Anna smiled bitterly. What the old lady said was not wrong. Although it does not matter if he wants to get married at the age of three.
"Well, I'll think about it later, ma'am. There's something I have to report to you," Anna straightened up her sitting position and began to tell her the report she received. Marchioness van Ryvat was very careful.
"So that's it, yeah. I'm so sorry. This was a rare case for Agent Saville," the Marchioness van Ryvat sympathizes after Anna completes her report, "They have started moving again. What about the investigation?"
"We are still working on it, Madam," Anna reported, "All the sources collected by Princess Elianna have been verified. Unfortunately, we still can't find any solid evidence for the crime as if all the evidence that the princess gathered once didn't exist."
"I can understand him" Marchioness van Ryvat looked at the beautiful hijab girl before him. Shady gazes. His decades of experience have made him a wise person. "After all, they already had a strong influence long ago. I'd be sad if the fact that this kingdom was built with a sacrifice to the devil."
"Is it that bad?" ask Anna not to believe it.
"No, luckily it was just my excessive worry" Marchioness van Ryvat shook her head. A smile on his face. "The kingdom starts from zero. It has been experiencing ups and downs for hundreds of years. When the magic world reached its peak, almost the entire continent was touched. Their remains in this era became a special thing for ordinary people in certain areas. Including this kingdom."
Marchioness van Ryvat was silent. Anna was silent too. He felt that the woman guarding the western border of the Kingdom of el Vierum was not finished with her story.
"When this kingdom was once ruled by believers" the vision of Marchioness van Ryvat was sad, "But the usurpation of the throne has always been a disaster that reverses everything."
"What about the king of the previous generation?" anna was the late King Herculius el Vierum who was Alice's grandfather.
"My husband succeeded in taking the throne from the rebellion of General Phors with the help of various parties" explained Marchioness van Ryvat, "Including the Witch Tower and the Holy Temple. He could not ignore the role of the two," he looked up at the sky. His gaze far penetrated the horizon of the past, "So, there was not much he could do even if he walked on the same path as me in the end."
"I didn't give birth to a son, but I had two smart and brave daughters" Marchioness van Ryvat recalled how she had lived in the past. The bitter and sour memories he had felt a lot. "I took care of Cloude like my own son after his mother died in the hope that he would lead the kingdom on a straight path. Back then, I never realized that he had such a close proximity to the Witch Tower."
"Although not as talented as Alice is now, Elianna and Evianna showed brilliant talent since both of them grew up," now Marchioness van Ryvat remembers the twin daughters who had gone before him, "My husband built a palace for both of them in exchange for the affection of a father they rarely met, but they instead built up strength there. Aided by his no less talented and loyal friends, the two shook the entire kingdom even up to the Holy Empire. I never thought I'd part ways so soon with them."
Marchioness van Ryvat is silent. His lips still smile. A shady smile seemed to be overwhelmed with unwillingness.
