"Leon, do you feel like there's something wrong with this girl?" Ask Riccardo.
"No, Your Majesty" Leon replied.
"But why do I feel like he's going to hate me?" Riccardo asked himself just now when he saw the look of hatred in the girl's eyes for him.
"Do I need to investigate the girl, Your Majesty?" Ask Leon.
"Ah, there is no need" replied Riccardo as he moved his palms to the right and to the left.
"Leon, I'll clean up. Tell the palace that tonight I'll stay at the penthouse. And order dinner for me" said Riccardo as he walked to his room.
"Okay, Your Majesty" Leon said.
After Riccardo finished clean he went to his study in the penthouse while waiting for dinner time.
Riccardo's eyes were focused on a computer showing a CCTV camera on the highest floor of his office.
"Leon, look at this girl. I told him to go home but he denied it. It's a really brave girl" said Riccardo.
"But this girl is also diligent. He deserves to be my assistant. A hard worker" praised Riccardo.
Almost earlier Leon wanted to curse himself for feeling guilty for making the girl into his assistant Prince. But when he heard the praise for Aldora, Leon breathed a sigh of relief.
A few minutes later, Aldora walked to the elevator and stopped in her private elevator. Aldora pecked for a while and walked into the employee-only elevator. After that Aldora went home by public transport.
"Leon, bring this miss's CV tomorrow. Before I was in the office, the CV had to be on my desk" Riccardo said.
"Okay, Your Majesty" Leon said.

Again Aldora had to try to control her emotions. The elevator in front of him was supposed to be his. Remembering it made for the umpteenth time in one day Aldora's chest became tight.
With a reluctant step Aldora stepped foot into the employee elevator.
After that Aldora went home by public transport to the apartment.
"Al, you're home. Why late?" Question Uncle Penrod welcomes the arrival of Aldora.
"Al completed the task at the office, Uncle" Aldora replied.
"Is everything going well?" Ask Uncle Penrod.
"Yes, Uncle. But Al couldn't afford to pretend to face the man. Al hates it, Uncle. Al hate. Al could not afford to pretend to be looking for a good girl to be able to get into one of his prospective wife candidates," Aldora said with a hateful look when reminded of Riccardo.
"You must be strong, Al. Remember your revenge. Remember the suffering of your parents and your entire family. Be strong for them. Give them justice, Al" said Uncle Penrod.
"Yes, Uncle. Al will do everything Al can" Aldora said.

A few days ago.
Because today is the weekend, Riccardo invites Aldora to enjoy the weekend with Leon, Riccardo's personal bodyguard.
Riccardo takes Aldora and Leon to the royal family's physical training ground.
"Miss Alvima, if you feel bored you can go around and see, see" Riccardo told Aldora who only nodded.
"Your Majesty, may I try samsak?" Aldora asked with a heart.
"Can you, miss?" Ask Riccardo back.
Aldora nodded.
"Use it" replied Riccardo.
Riccardo and Leon changed into their uniforms.
As for Aldora, he went to the other side of the place after changing clothes and wearing boxing gloves. The place where there's a punching bag over there.
Aldora started warming up first. After that he began to throw his fists at the samsak.
This is for my family's suffering.
Bugh...
This was for my helplessness at the time.
Bugh...
This is for all the tears of Gloretha's descendants and the people of Gloretha.
Bugh...
Bugh...
It's to lose my happy childhood.
Bugh...
This is for my position as my enemy's subordinate.
Bugh...
It's for all the good memories I've captured.
Bugh...
This is for Uncle Penrod who was forced to leave his family for me.
Bugh...
It's for compulsion that makes me pretend to be a friend in front of the enemy.
Bugh...
This is for, uh,
When Aldora's hand wanted to go back up his fist a burly hand had already restrained his movement.
Aldora looked at who dared to disturb her. Seeing that it was Riccardo, Aldora immediately lowered his head.
"Sorry Your Majesty has disturbed you because what I have done has made you feel disturbed" Aldora said with a bow trying to lower his eyes which he believes are now reddened.
"That's not it, Miss Alvinaa. It's just that your hand can get hurt if you keep punching the samsak" Riccardo said.
"I'm overzealous, Your Majesty, that's why I'm out of control" Aldora replied.
"Are you good with arrows, miss?" Ask Riccardo.
Aldora nodded.
"Then what if we practice arrows only," Riccardo bargained.
"As you wish, Your Majesty" Aldora said.
Riccardo took Aldora to the arrow training ground outside the room.
Riccardo and Aldora chose a place for them to shoot. Before doing the exercises, Aldora checked the bowstring and arrows she was going to use.
Riccardo opened the archery practice. He started pulling the bowstring and aimed at the archery board in front of him.
Leon who was standing near the board to inform the result of the archery they both got closer to the Riccardo archery board.
"Figure 9, for His Majesty," Leon half-cried.
"Lumayan," muttered Riccardo who could still be in with Aldora.
Looking relaxed, Aldora lifted her bow and pulled the bowstring. Aldora focused his vision to the point in the middle of the archery board.
3,2,1
Aldora let go of her bowstring and let her arrows dart towards the archery board.
"Perfect" Leon said after seeing the results of Aldora's shot on target.
"Great, where did you learn science like this lady? Who taught you? Introduce him to me" said Riccardo.
Aldora held her breath for a moment.
The teachers who taught him were Papa and Uncle Penrod. After his father died, Uncle Penrod held the full power of his training.
"My Father and Uncle, Your Majesty. But my Papa is gone and he cannot get to know you" replied Aldora trying to be as calm as possible.
"Very dear," said Riccardo.
"After Samsak and the arrow, what else can you use Miss Alvina?" Ask Riccardo.
"Can you use everything here?" Ask Riccardo.
The honest answer is yes. But Aldora could not answer that because he was sure that later Riccardo would feel suspicious about this skill.
"No Your Majesty, I'm only adept at using samsaks, bows, and swords" Aldora replied.
"Then let's try to fight with a sword" said Riccardo arrived.
