Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Alverio Vi

"Uncle go now!" exclaims Alice exorcising, "Do your duty as king properly and correctly!"

King Claudius could only nod. Who would have thought Alice's nagging would be longer than expected? For almost half a day the king was confined to the residence vi Alverio. He felt sick because he sat all day.

"Auntie goes home first, too" asked Alice more gently, "I'm with Akilla here. So, everything's gonna be fine. The royal doctor will also settle down."

"Eh? You kicked me out Alice?" Queen Clara pretended to be sad with a face of bleakness. He wanted to be with Alice a little longer. However, Alice smiled instead and straightforwardly confirmed, "Yes, Auntie is very sensitive."

"Can't I stay a little longer here?" Queen Clara bargained. The mask has been revealed. He could not hide his true intentions from Alice.

"I'm afraid I can't accompany you, Sire," Alice changed her style of language to be more formal. It shows the seriousness of his speech with it. In accordance with the prevailing manners, Alice led her aunt out herself, "I'm really sorry. I don't want to trouble you more than this."

"You are a dutiful child" Queen Clara stroked Alice's dark hair. His eyes were staring inwardly shrouded in longing. He should have had a daughter that girl's age, too. However, the provisions have applied to him. All that is past, let it pass.

"Duchess Evianna has succeeded in educating you," Queen Clara saw the shadow of the Undergraduate Princess of Wisdom behind the Pearl Palace's sole heir, "Then, you too must succeed in educating your children later. Don't be like me who's too negligent and ignores this."

"No, Auntie," Alice grabbed Queen Clara's delicate hand, "Auntie has done well too. I love Aunty like I love my mother."

Queen Clara smiled holding haru. Her longing was dashed by the sincere words Alice spoke. He embraced the princess with great affection. Before leaving, he thanked and said hello to the heir to his queen position.

"Be careful, Alice. You are the pride of all of us" whispered Queen Clara. The woman followed her husband who was waiting on the train. They immediately returned to Ruby Palace to take care of the affairs of the country.

"Alice, the lord duke is calling for you" Akilla said as the Royal Family left the House vi Alverio. Alice turned her body. He nodded and thanked his cousin.

"Dad, how's your condition?" alice asked as soon as she reached Duke vi Alverio's room.

The middle-aged man was lying limp on the bed. He was too much work to not pay attention to his health condition. Ever since Duchess vi Alverio died, she had always tried to occupy herself by working hard like that. Son and daughter only wayangnya also to follow the workaholic gene. He was very worried when Alice fell exhausted first.

"As long as you're here, I'm fine" Duke vi Alverio tried to comment on his best smile. It was better not to let Alice follow her excessive habits. He wanted his daughter to rest for a while.

"I'll be here" said Alice beside her father's bed, "Tell me if you need anything."

"Well, continue here," Duke vi Alverio caressed his daughter's head affectionately. Seeing her very considerate daughter, she felt guilty. During this time, he could not show much affection to his two children. Especially since her mother died. He's really very sorry.

Shortly after, Duke vi Alverio's eyes closed. Seeing her, Alice asked Akilla who was waiting to pick up the books in the library. He doesn't want his time wasted.

"Thank you, you can go now" said Alice softly as she put her index finger on her lips. The servants saluted and immediately came out.

"Akilla, has a letter to my brother been sent?" alice asked as she remembered that.

"After that, the letter will be delivered as soon as possible to the March van Ryvat by Saville" Akilla replied. He looked at Alice who seemed to be hiding his sadness. The princess had lost her mother at a very young age, may she not be abandoned again by her remaining parents.

The atmosphere became quiet. Akilla chose to be busy with the book she picked up after seeing Alice not intending to ask again.

Alice is too. He may seem to be reading, but in fact his heart is trying to hold back the reinforcements. He was sad every time he looked at his father. Last year, he did the same thing when his mother started lying sick.

He waited for Duchess vi Alverio all day. From day to day, his heart grew more anxious because the mother never recovered and even worse. When a glimmer of hope arises, it is precisely hope that accelerates the departure of Duchess Evianna.

A piece of crap in which a witch comes and promises healing to Duchess Evianna of Duke vi Alverio can bring the heart of the Lord of the Kaskas Forest, the, the beast that sat at the top of the food chain in the forest. It is a hoofed animal and sharp fangs. His body was as big as a bear with skin covered in needle-tipped spines.

Blinded by love and despair, Duke vi Alverio willingly hunts down the animal. Duchess Evianna refused. The Daughter of the Bachelor of Wisdom even sent Alice to keep him away.

Alice failed. She was crying in her mother's room at the time. He complained about how stubborn his father was.

In the end, Duke vi Alverio had managed to kill the most ferocious beast and take its heart. He came home with hope. But he got home disappointed.

His wife had died next to the princess who had fainted. A beautiful smile was on the frozen woman's face, but sadness was deep in the girl's eyes. Even the girl was unconscious for a few days. When he woke up, he could no longer shed his sad tears.

Duke vi Alverio was extremely desperate. The heart of the Ruler of the Kaskas Forest that he painstakingly hunted became unused. Nah! From the start, the heart of the savage beast was indeed useless. Scientists from the Academy vi Alverio have confirmed it. The witch's recommended medicinal ingredients were even poisonous.

The relationship between Alice and Duke vi Alverio had stretched at that time. Especially when the duke began to focus more on work. Had Anna Saville not guided Alice to carry out her mother's will, surely the father-son relationship of the Alverio family would not have been this close.

...***...

"Dad sick, huh?" Derrick receives news about his father long before the letter from Alice arrives. He sighed and only prayed for his father to heal quickly. There's still a lot to do. You cannot waste time on feelings. After all, his relationship with Duke vi Alverio was not that close.

When Alice's letter arrived, Derrick didn't react much. He knew about his father's illness. He also often sent letters to the old man to get plenty of rest.

"That's a dad. If it doesn't work, the pain gets worse" murmured Derrick. Her cold face shrunk as she read Alice's words telling her to head to the capital. Fortunately, his business was a little more. Because his little brother asked, he did not mind coming.
