Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Streets

"Welcome, sir," greeted a man in a knee-length robe cheerfully. His smile broadened. It has a long and thick beard. "Oh, is this Sifer? It has been a long time since we met. How are you?"

"I'm always healthy, Boss" Sifer said after praising God.

"And who is this young man? I saw a bright future glint on his face," the man the Boss called out a hand to Derrick without knowing that he was a young master. Derrick accepted it without much protest. After all, this was not the Kingdom of el Vierum.

"Derrick, nice to meet you," Derrick replied without mentioning his surname.

"I'm Yahya. Nice to meet you too," the man introduced himself familiarly. Derrick has trouble spelling his name. The man chuckled and said, "You can call me John. That's got to be easier on you."

"John's? Well, that's right," Derrick was a little confused. But he accepted it.

"Yo, Boss. I ordered as usual," Sifer exclaimed cheerfully, "How about you?"

"Go ahead, just give me the food you recommend" Derrick replied. He doesn't really understand the characters on the menu. He just saw a very nice and interesting picture. It looks like all the food is delicious.

"Okay, then I'll put it first. Two chuletons and lemon ice will be ready soon" exclaimed John delighted. He also went to his kitchen. It just so happened that the breakfast time was over, so there were only two customers left in the restaurant this morning.

"Chuleton? What'sthat?" Derrick squinted his eyes. He also extended the menu that he had held since. He wanted to know the pictures of the food he ordered.

"Here it is," Sifer showed an image that looked like grilled meat there, "Well, it was perfectly roasted beef ribs. It tastes so good. You'll understand later."

"really? I've been feeling meat like this a lot" Derrick took another list of his menu. He wants to spend time looking at things that interest him.

"Oh, this is special rib meat," Sifer boasted of his regular meals, "Halal and good assurance is paramount."

"Real?" Derrick rediscovered one of those vocabulary words he didn't understand.

"The meaning is allowed both from the material itself and other factors such as how to get and slaughter it" explained Sifer. He explained a lot to Derrick. His knowledge of the Saville culture and the Kingdom of el Vierum was extensive. He sometimes makes comparisons with Derrick.

"Here it is, two chuletons and lemon ice," John came up with his ripple, "Please enjoy. Don't forget to pray and thank God."

Derrick began slicing the meat in front of him. Smells delicious. Crispy texture. When bitten, the flesh feels soft. This was different from the meat he usually ate.

"really right? I'm sure you'll like it" said Safir proudly, "This is the flagship product here."

"Well, I do love it," Derrick replied as he continued to enjoy the meal, "It feels nostalgic. I've eaten something like this before."

"Wow, where is it?" ask Sapphire to connect the conversation. Actually, he wasn't too curious. That is one way to establish and strengthen interaction only.

"In the Saville restaurant. It's the same product. My mother likes this meat too" replied Derrick. He also began to drown in his thoughts. No one else spoke. Each one was busy with his own breakfast.

"Real. Mother had also said that word once," Derrick murmured in his heart. He felt every skewer of meat he took while recalling the past. Alice was a baby at the time and very small. However, her red eyes are very bright with a shady view showing that she will become a jolly girl when she grows up.

"I don't know what happened back then," Derrick still continues to sink into his past horizon, "Witch, hunting in the Kaskas Forest, and the mother's illness. Alice says everything has something to do with each other. Therefore, Alice hated witches so much."

"I don't know much. How did my mother get sick? Why did you go hunting? Why did the witch come to Duchy vi Alverio?" derrick had unknowingly finished his chuleton. The lemon ice was already half-sand. "I am an objective person and do not judge with feelings. I don't see any witches coming but to help. Therefore, I have reason to hate them like Alice."

"Let's go around somewhere else" Sapphire asked. He just finished his payment. Now it's time to show Saville Village even more.

They visited various places. One of them is the village square. The square is located in front of a central building with a dome roof. Sapphires say, it is a place of worship. Next to it is a government building. There are also learning complexes such as academies.

The most interesting place is the culinary center not far from it. There's a whole bunch of food Derrick hasn't seen there. Batagor, siomay, cimol, and so on. It was a unique and delicious meal. Especially the cheap price.

Derrick learned a lot there. Starting from architecture, anthropology, to a system of government called the emirate. They were almost like the feudal system in the Kingdom of el Vierum.

Derrick returns to March van Ryvat in the afternoon. The sapphire immediately returned to Saville as soon as Derrick was escorted to the city gate.

"It's great to be able to travel with you" Sapphire returned the formal language. He gave Derrick a covenant before he left. It was a panther-carved badge on his face.

"This thing has a unique mechanism, it might be useful to you someday" Sapphire said.

Marchioness van Ryvat was waiting for her granddaughter at the residence. He greeted Derrick with a shady smile. The faces of Derrick and Alice are very similar to those of Duchess Evianna. So, Marchioness Rubia was always happy to see him.

...***...

On the same day as Derrick's visit to Saville Village, Alice finishes her business. He sent Count de Bourne to supervise and guide the new Count de Aurel, the Lugwid de Aurel.

"I will not disappoint you, Your Majesty," Count de Aurel said.

Aria is also healed. Now it's time for the little girl left to go home. They were looking forward to meeting Mainne and the others again.

"What about that thing?" alice asked Calastine before she left. The object refers to a utility device that has been used by psychics to attack the city residents.

"The intercession we have found. As His Majesty ordered, it has already been destroyed," Calastine reported, "The last remaining psychic is still in confinement. What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Kill him!" alice said softly and coldly. His sharp gaze harbored anger. He went straight into the horse-drawn carriage, no longer wanting to talk about it.

Calastine accepted without protest. It was a punishment worthy of a witch. Immediate execution is carried out in public once the order arrives. The citizens who watched exclaimed at the psychic. They have been much harmed.

A few days later, the results of the follow-up decision came from the capital. The decision came directly from King el Vierum. No one can fight. Nobles and criminals recorded in major criminal acts were hanged later.

Perres Puliu was among the survivors. However, all his property was confiscated and he was imprisoned for life. Family divided.

The worst fate that befell him was the loss of Preves. He almost lost his head on suspicion of hiding the child. Were it not for Grandma Yulia's testimony, she would have been beheaded.
