Last Descendents

A pair of lovers..?????

"Uncle," Aldora opened the door to Uncle Penrod's office and sure enough the Uncle was inside.

"Come in, Al" looks like Uncle Penrod is waiting for him.

Aldora came in and sat down in front of Uncle Penrod in the middle of their desk, Uncle Penrod.

"Tell me the promise that Uncle meant" Aldora said.

"Eighteen years ago, exactly when the uprising took place. Uncle told him to go and protect his mother in case we lose. Because at that time we had no hope of winning" explained Uncle Penrod.

"Then, why didn't all the royal families leave the palace as well? Why did they stay in the palace and sacrifice their lives?" Ask Aldora.

"They are descendants of nobles. A nobleman cannot escape from the battlefield it is a shame for them" replied Uncle Penrod.

"But Uncle, Al is a descendant of nobles. At that point Al escaped... That embarrassing?" Aldora's question reminded him of running away at the time the battle took place.

"The situation is different Al, it's not a war for you. You were 6 years old at the time" said Uncle Penrod.

Aldora looked in any direction. He felt like a coward at the moment.

"At that time not only Al who was a child. Many more children were killed at the time. Even their age is much below Al. And there are also those who are 7 months old" Aldora replied.

"Why didn't they leave at that time with Brother? Or did Uncle take him away with us? If if Brother or Uncle had taken them, they might be alive right now" Aldora said in a note of regret as she said so.

Uncle Penrod sighed heavily hearing the remark with Aldora's regretful tone.

"It couldn't have been Al, back then Sansone had to fight to get out of the palace himself. He came out of the palace through the forest. You know the forest is dangerous. Uncle sent Sansone because that's the only way. Even we came out of the palace also through that forest. You recall? What happened then?" Ask Uncle Penrod.

Aldora clearly remembered what had happened back then. The treacherous forest plus the darkness made at that moment Uncle Penrod almost claimed his life.

Aldora recalls that Uncle Penrod was injured by a thorn. Uncle Penrod also almost fell into a deep abyss if only Aldora did not help him. They both owe each other their lives.

Aldora nodded.

"Aldora remembers Uncle, very much remember. Everything that happened that night will never be forgotten" Aldora replied.

"The forest is very risky plus a dark atmosphere. Uncle couldn't have taken your family away. We can all not be saved,"

Uncle Penrod is right. If only that night they had gone with his cousin's sister, maybe now they would all have stayed by name. Moreover, his cousin's sister did not know how to defend. They were just ordinary children in general. Still playing with children's toys and acting like ordinary children. Unlike Aldora who already knew martial arts even his first toy is a sword.

"Al, understand" said Aldora.

Aldora stood up intending to leave.

"Al, do you remember one more month what day?" Ask Uncle Penrod.

"Yes, Al remembers" Aldora replied.

"You only have one month Al. Uncle heard the announcement of the empress selection will be announced on that day. You should be able to get him to pick you Al," said Uncle Penrod.

Aldora nodded and left.

The weekend arrives.

Aldora is in the room of Mama Sansone, Aunty Anindira.

"Aldora is that you?" The woman in front of Aldora asked.

"Yes Aunty. This is Al" Aldora hugging the woman's thin body.

It used to be due to the presence of this woman can reduce a little lethargy in her. But sometimes he still talks to himself and cries and laughs like a madman.

"You're already very big huh. You used to be this small," Aunty Anindira said as she placed her hand down. Shows that Aldora used to be that small.

"Not that small, Aunty. Aldora segini" Aldora put his hand on the wind higher than Aunty Anindira.

"Where is Sansone then?" Ask Aunty Anindira.

"Sister, em. segini" Aldora positioned her hand back far below that of Aunty Anindira.

"No, I'm not that short" said Sansone, who had been in her mother's room.

"Sister is short first" Aldora quipped.

"I'm not short. At that time it was high we were only 2 inches different," said Sansone.

"But to me Brother is short" Aldora said.

"Whatever you say, Princess Aldora" Sansone gave the salute she always gave to Riccardo and the others whose status was above her.

Aldora put on her typical upset face.

"Have not teased her," Aldora smiled at Aunty Anin's words defending her.

"So she is no longer a princess. She had already become a Queen," Aldora sobbed her lips upon hearing Aunty Anin's temptation.

Indeed it is, because his Papa is dead he is the heir to his Papa in his place. Became Queen at the age of 6.

"Here you go, Al wants lunch" Aldora said, heading to the dining room.

"Al," Sansone called out to Aldora who had stopped at the door.

"We ate together. Ma, the waiter will drop off lunch for Mama. Mom still needs a lot of rest. The woman nodded obediently.

"Al, I want to say something to you" Sansone said after closing the door to his mother's room.

"Al also wanted to talk," Aldora said as she walked following Sansone who had already walked towards her study.

Lidya smiled cynically hearing Sansone's words.

"Of course, sister, this is what I hope," said Aldora.

Sansone told him that he was informed by the kingdom that Riccardo had already told him who the girl he wanted to choose to be his wife's candidate. And that girl is Aldora.

"You got a plan?" Tanya Sansone who got a definite nod from Aldora.

"But Brother is confused, how could he choose you. If it's because of your job potential, it's an unreasonable excuse" said Sansone confused the reason Riccardo chose Aldora.

"I didn't do anything big. At that time I was just helping a child who almost got hit. And I knew at the time that the man was watching me. Maybe because of that" Aldora said.

Aldora has caught Riccardo several times who always pay attention to him when he is doing good

"Oh," Sansone just replied with oh.

"Al, don't you know? Right now you're an Aldora being hunted. If you're a candidate for Riccardo's wife. It's the same as entering the lion's den" said Sansone when he remembered this one.
