Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Report from Alice

Alice sent a brief report to King Claudius el Vierum II regarding the condition of the city she had visited. The courier he sent arrived at the capital during the day after a day of horse racing. Upon receiving his letter, King Claudius chuckled.

"Duke vi Alverio, your daughter is very sensitive and active" King Claudius put down the letter and took the opportunity to rest. A pile of work was still waiting for him, but his back was already sore from sitting too much at the desk. He got up and asked his brother-in-law for a walk out.

"The power of the Pearl Palace has been empty for three years since my brother died. In the last two years, he has only been able to rebuild his strength under the watchful eye of your daughter" King Claudius said with a cheerful face. Actually, there was a tired stain on her facial water, but that tinge of fatigue was covered by her delighted smile, "It's only been three months since she became the crown princess, she said, but he's been very agile at cutting off all the roots of the disease in this kingdom. I'm very helped by him."

"The Amtenars in the Supervisory Hall have been too presumptuous all along" Duke vi Alverio said as he read the letter from his daughter, "Moreover, public accountants who dare to collude with irresponsible individuals for their own interests."

"Oh, that man has come" King Claudius looked at a mustachioed man who had come escorted by two knights. Ah, naw. More like being paraded with a little coercion.

The man greeted King el Vierum and Duke vi Alverio on his knees. He bowed down not daring to look at each other face to face with the two noble people in the Kingdom of el Vierum. A cold sweat washed his face. He felt that there was a serious problem he did not know.

"Count de Bourne, have you found trouble in some cities lately?" asked King Claudius with his dignified appearance. Duke vi Alverio only fell silent coldly. The Count de Bourne replied after gulping, "I found some problems, Your Majesty. All have been reported without exception."

"Hm, really? Did you also report any irregularities in Aurelis City?" King Claudius awaits an answer. The city he mentioned refers to the city that Alice had settled in.

"Ti .. no, Sire. The city of Aurelis has always been in good shape," Count de Bourne jolted inwardly. His heart is racing. He recalls the part that may have escaped his report. "Reports regarding the city show no irregularities."

"Did you check the report yourself?" King Claudius squinted his eyes. It is impossible for the surveillance report of each region to be examined by one person. So, the director of the Central Supervisory Hall could not immediately be blamed.

"No, Sire. I only heard briefly because my work was focused on the supervision of the capital," this time, Count de Bourne recalled the Supervisory Hall staff in charge of Aurelis City. Blurry mind. He could not remember clearly in this tense situation.

"Count de Bourne, you're Duchess Evianna's amtenar of trust. Does your performance decrease with age?" King Claudius questioned the credibility of the man with the thick mustache. The shrivelled patches were already seen a lot on his face.

"I'm sorry, Sire. The last overhaul has left many of our experts dwindling," Count de Bourne told the truth. The seats in the Central Supervisory Hall have been empty since the Marianna City case. If the Aurelis City case also caused the same thing, the Central Supervisory Hall would be greatly overwhelmed.

"Many parents are in jail now. It is only a matter of time until a decision is made against them" King Claudius said, patting the Count de Bourne on the shoulder. The implied threat was clear from his words. "Young people replaced them. Can their minimal experience be a pretext?"

Count de Bourne was silent. There's nothing he can say. His body had been on its knees ever since. He decided to settle the matter and retire later.

"Go to Aurelis City and review the conditions directly!" King Claudius also said. Count de Bourne answered him emphatically. Probably because he was determined to retire soon.

"What else is that?" king Claudius asked as soon as he saw his aide carrying a file of documents as he reached the office. He glanced inside where his desk was waiting. The stack of documents was still there without any less.

"This is the complaint of the citizens of Aurelis City sent by Crown Princess el Vierum" the aide replied. King Claudius could only smile with a deep sigh. Since becoming king, his day has always been filled with heavy things. He glanced at Duke vi Alverio, but his son came to greet him so he had an idea.

"Safety to His Majesty King el Vierum and Duke vi Alverio" Antonio said politely. He hated that formality the most. However, since getting engaged to Alice, she has repeated the ethical exam several times. So, he's getting used to it now.

"Geez, I forgot that my son was already the heir to the throne" said King Claudius, who was arrested as a bad address for Antonio, "There is a case being taken care of by Crown Princess el Vierum now. As her fiance, you have to help. Duke vi Alverio will guide you."

Duke vi Alverio and the king's aide nodded in readiness. The new documents were handed over to Antonio. The young prince's mind was soon haunted by various questions.

"Come, Your Majesty," Duke vi Alverio.

"What does Al ..., I mean the crown princess?" Antonio fixed the words when looked at Duke vi Alverio. Actually it was an ordinary gaze, seeming friendly instead. It's just, Antonio had too much in mind. He's a little awkward dealing with the father of his fiancee.

"There are irregularities in the government in Aurelis City," explained Duke vi Alverio with his composure, "Security, racial problems, and legal inequality. That's a serious problem there."

Antonio instead remembered Derrick who clearly showed his innuendo and power. Also Alice who once scolded his cunning. He got goosebumps with the people from Family vi Alverio. His mother was not wrong to say that the power of Family vi Alverio was greater than the power of Family el Vierum now.

"How will the crown princess handle it?" antonio asked while checking the file in his hand.

"He has two scholars and the scholar girls by his side now. The Pearl Palace was in his grasp. He will deal with it in his own way" Duke vi Alverio's remarks did not answer Antonio's question, but rather sounded a warning to him.

The leader of the Family vi Alverio seemed to show the high position of Crown Princess el Vierum compared to Antonio who is still focused on studying in class. Just as Derrick vi Alverio was blatantly showing his sister's full support no matter what.
