Inner Uncle Penrod after closing the door of Aldora's room.
Drett... Drett... Drett...
Uncle Penrod's phone is ringing. Upon seeing the name of the person, Uncle Penrod's countenance turned tense. He immediately walked to his room and picked up the call.
***
Aldora arrived at the palace at eight p.m. Because he had to go to a party with Riccardo. It is also impossible for Riccardo, a crown prince to pick Aldora who is only an assistant.
Aldora was just standing in front of the main door of the palace, with no intention of going inside.
"Miss, what business are you here for?" A waiter approached Aldora.
"I'm Prince Riccardo's assistant, I'm waiting for him to go to the party" Aldora replied, showing a slight smile.
"Then it's best for Miss to go straight to the southern palace to see Her Majesty" the maid said.
"No, I'll just wait here" Aldora refused.
"All right," the waiter relented.
"I go first, Miss" the waiter lowered his head and left.
Missy? In Germany, I am commonly called Fraulein (Miss). But in the palace, I'm not used to it.
Aldora. In the past everyone called her Princess, Her Royal Highness, Princess, Crown Princess. Only a few people could call him by name, namely Papa Jarrel, Mama Evoleth, Uncle Penrod, Sansone, and Aunty Anindira. Sometimes Uncle Penrod, Sansone, and Aunty Anindira called him formal.
Drtts...
Aldora's phone is shaking. Aldora saw the number without a name. But once saw Aldora know that it was Leon's number. Aldora.
"Miss Alvina, where are you?" It was not that greeting Leon directly asked.
"In front of the palace's main door" Aldora replied.
"Alright," it took some time before Leon retaliated.
"Hm," Aldora immediately turned off the phone before Leon did.
"This woman," Leon muttered softly with a slightly irritated feeling.
"Your Majesty, Miss Alvina is currently in front of the main door of the palace" Leon told Riccardo, who was sitting on the sofa and opened his cell phone to observe Aldora via CCTV.
Leon felt somewhat irritated after talking to Aldora. Because he felt Aldora was very presumptuous because he dared to hang up the phone without saying goodbye.
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have called Miss Alvina. Your Majesty why would your heart choose such a woman? There are many women in this country who adore you so much and are ready to be a candidate for your future wife. Why did you choose that woman? Miss Alvina is kind and beautiful. But she was just an ordinary woman who did not know the rules of nobility. He can humiliate you later, Your Majesty.
leon said in his heart.
"Leon, let's go" said Riccardo as he stepped out of his room followed by Leon who faithfully followed.

Aldora leaned her body against the wall. It had been more than ten minutes that Aldora stood up making her head slightly dizzy and her body go limp.
A black car stopped in front of Aldora making Aldora immediately stand up in a sprightly position. Not wanting to show that he was currently feeling weak.
"Please enter Miss," Leon opens the passenger car door.
"Night, Your Majesty" Aldora said.
"Night, Miss Alvina" replied Riccardo.
After Leon got back in the car, the car walked away from the palace.
Along the way Aldora just kept quiet by looking out the window. Trying to hide his face even though he has given make up, but still looks pale. As well as to treat his longing to his homeland.
Riccardo was busy with his phone. But sometimes he stole a glance at this girl beside him.
This time Aldora wore a plain dress with an off shoulder model combined with a slightly widened flare arm.
Aldora deliberately used an arm dress to ring his wound which was still wrapped in bandages.
Riccardo was wearing a men's suit. His appearance looks formal but charming for anyone who sees him except Aldora. Yeah, ever since that rebellion Aldora's too cool to look around. So that he never felt stunned by anyone around him except Uncle Penrod who he had considered as the only family in this world.
The car stopped in front of the entrance of a house that looked like a castle. So beautiful! And certainly not comparable to the palace.
Aldora walked behind Riccardo but in front of Leon. They walk on the red carpet. The room of the house has been around in such a way that it looks very beautiful. There is a long table on which there are various snacks.
Riccardo walked towards the host.
"Good night Duke Sansone, congratulations on your Mama's recovery" said Riccardo.
Aldora looked at the man called Duke Sansone earlier. Sansone's name is very familiar in his ears.
"Good night, Your Majesty, thank you for your concern" Sansone said in a salute.
Aldora's eyes looked at Sansone fixedly. Trying to find the answer from her face was she the same Sansone she knew a dozen years ago?
"Duke Sansone, May I ask for some time to talk to you after this event?" Riccardo asked with a smile adorning his handsome face.
"It is an honor for me, Your Majesty," Sansone said with a smile back at Riccardo.
"Duke, I'll talk to you later. See you," said Riccardo.
After Sansone nodded the three of them instantly left Sansone.
Riccardo appeared to be talking to various nobles. Talk about work, trite talk, or matchmaking. Making Aldora feel bored at once bothered.
The nobles forced him to make a schedule after receiving rejection from Riccardo. Making Aldora out of annoyance speak ketus and there was an irritated tone to them.
"Your Majesty has refused. So do not force and trouble me" Aldora said scrupulously to the nobleman who was only a sycophant to him.
Standing in favor of the wrong person only to live an abundance of treasures. Huh, embarrassing!
"Hey, you're just an ordinary girl. Lowly assistant. As for me, I am a noble. Do not act pretentious," said the nobleman.
"Had known I was lowly, why even plead to this lowly assistant? Basic useless! Nobility status but lowly nature. Not worth it at all. The poor people are more honorable than lowly nobles like you," Aldora said staring with a contemptuous look at the nobleman who had insulted him earlier.
After that Aldora and separated from Riccardo and Leon.he left unnoticed by Riccardo who was busy talking to Leon.
"Aldora" the voice of a man he had not heard for an hour returned.
"Eh?" Aldora frowned slightly no less staring at the figure of the man standing right in front of her.
