Love And Secrets

Patience

Eric and Laura's wedding day is drawing closer, the more preparations have been made, however.. Alice still does not know about this marriage. Gara has not said that Eric will marry Princess Laura in a few days. All servants are forbidden to gossip near Alice, because they do not hesitate to dismiss them if Gara finds out there is gossip in the palace.

That day, as usual, Alice took a walk in the royal garden that had once been shown by the King's Majesty. Gara is in a meeting with several ministers in his office. Because he did not say the problem, but he was always busy after returning home for his honeymoon. Alice does not blame anything, because Gara always informs Alice every time.

He walked unaccompanied, down flower gardens, shrubs, small labyrinths and saw fish ponds. The air was cold, the birds were unpretentious, and butterflies were flying here and there. Alice raised her head, then closed her eyes, the clouds looked blue, without the presence of clouds, the sun felt friendly that morning.

From a distance Alice sees a beautiful woman, in a salmon dress. He held a fan in his right hand.

Alice had never seen the woman before, she walked towards her to say hello.

The woman was aware of Alice's presence, she was on standby and without realizing it she was covering her nose.

"You..

"How dare a dirty vampire like you be here!"

The woman sneered at Alice, she called the guards to throw her out.

"Guard!

"Bring this dirty girl!

"I don't want to see it!"

Guards came from all angles, they looked at each other, yet no one dared to touch Alice.

They lowered their heads to see Alice and left.

Alice did not say anything, she just looked at the woman, Alice then realized that the woman's stomach was slightly bulging, she was confused to ask, but she was reluctant, it seemed that the woman did not like it, she did not like it, from the way she looked at Alice, it was like she was disgusted.

"I don't know who you are!

"But you have to go!

"Dirty vampires like you don't deserve to be here!"

Alice clenched her hands together, she held back her emotions, Alice did not want to create a problem that would bother Gara, especially now that Gara was busy, she was not willing to make trouble, and like him he has no time to take care of little things like this. Alice tried to hold on and smiled.

However, then the woman threw her fan towards Alice's face, one end of the fan sharply injuring Alice's left cheek, Alice rubbed it and left from there feeling disappointed, annoyed and angry.

Buugh

Alice bumped into someone walking towards her, the man had been watching Alice from the moment Alice entered the park until the incident just now.

Alice looked at the man's face, she was William. William looks angry, his emotions are clearly visible to Alice.

"My Lady's...

"Are you okay?

"The scent of your body is so strong Ma'am.." William tries to touch the wound on Alice's face, but Alice quickly closes her face.

"I..

"I'm fine Will.." Alice tried to act like nothing happened, she smiled.

William walked up to the woman, then slapped her tightly.

Plaaq..!

"Let's..."

"Willi.. What are you doing?? I'm fine Will, really.." Alice pulls William from there, then apologizes to the woman.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, she didn't mean it that way.." Alice lowered her head.

"You!

"Dear woman!

"How dare you!" The woman stroked her sore cheek.

"You should be ashamed!

"You don't know who you're talking to!" William snapped at the woman and prepared to slap her again, but Alice quickly held her back.

"Willi. stop..." Alice pleaded, she did not want to make a fuss in the palace and made Gara worry.

"Laura, you should thank Alice!" William leaves Laura and takes Alice away.

He just looked at the backs of William and Alice who went away while stroking her cheeks that felt very sore.

A moment later, from a distance came the sound of footsteps approaching towards Laura.

"Laura..

He touched Laura's back, Laura was shocked and immediately turned around.

"Eric.." He held her cheek and looked like she was going to cry.

"What's wrong?" Laura hugged Eric tightly.

"William slapped me, baby..." Laura squinted spoiled on Eric's chest.

"No way, Willi's not that person.." Eric replied calmly.

"I mean it, baby...

"Just look at my cheeks, very sore and hot..

"I'm being honest, William slapped me just now." Laura said with tears.

"Don't cry, say it..

"What's really going on.." Eric stroked Laura's long, wavy hair.

"I drove away the dirty vampire woman who came to see me, and then I threw a fan in her face, and William came to defend her.." Laura's tears were flowing more and more, she was sure Eric would be very angry and defend her.

But hearing this made Eric face pale, his facial muscles stiffened, he could easily recognize who the woman was meant by Laura, she said, Eric ran quickly towards the Palace and left Laura who looked puzzled.

Eric ran very fast, as if hovering in the air, he immediately found Alice walking with William towards his room.

"Alice..

"Wait..

Eric called Alice, her breathing disordered, she was so tense that she didn't realize her shoes had come off next door.

Alice turned towards the voice that called out to her, seeing Eric trying to breathe, she held her chest that hurt from being attracted while running.

"Eric??.." Alice looked at William in confusion. William seemed to be unconcerned and took Alice away. However, Eric held Alice's hand.

"Willi, you can go. I'll take Alice to her room, won't I?" Eric looked into Alice's eyes expectantly.

Alice did not understand why Eric bothered to chase after her, it was seen that Eric's feet were just wearing next to the shoes, inevitably Alice agreed.

"Hm.. Willi, you can go..

"Like her Eric there's a need with me..

"And..

"So, thanks..." Alice smiled, William tried to act unconcerned and left.

After William left, Alice looked at Eric confusedly, wondering why Eric was so rushed after him.

"Why?" Alice asked confusedly.

Eric looked at Alice's face, saw a sharp scar and still bleeding on his left cheek, he could not look at Alice.

"I'm sorry Laura Alice..

"He is my future wife..

"Now she is five months pregnant.."

Eric tried to explain in words that would not make the situation worse.

Alice snatched away, she tried to digest Eric's words slowly. His face turned pale, he now knew what Eric was saying.

Alice still vividly remembered Laura's treatment of him, even the blood she had injured was still not dry. Alice tried to control her emotions, she clenched her palms and closed her eyes, took a breath through her nose and exhaled her slowly through her mouth. For the time being she felt much better, she let go of her fist and opened her eyes, Alice smiled, she patted Eric on the shoulder quite loudly, then Eric looked at her expectantly.

"Eric, I'm fine..

"You didn't make a mistake, you know..

"You're like a sister to me,

"I'm fine.." Alice looked at Eric, assuring him that he was okay.

Eric felt the weight off his shoulders, he pulled Alice into his arms quickly and thanked her, then Eric ran towards the park.

From a distance someone noticed Alice and Eric, he gritted his teeth.

Alice walked down the long hallway, every guard she came across bowing his head in her honor.

'Looks like Eric forgot his promise, he said he'd take me to the room. But, I forgot where Gara's room is..'

Alice walked, then ran, walked again and then ran again. He opened every door he passed, hoping to find it. But after all the tens of doors were opened, he did not find any of them true. Alice was about to give up.

'It seems I've been just going around in circles since I should have asked the waiter.'

Alice passed through a room that was quite large, there were stored a lot of jars with various sizes.

"Excuse me.."

Alice entered, then she found a female servant cleaning one of the large jars.

"My Lady's..

"What brings you to this room?" Ask the waiter politely.

"Aahs..

"I'm lost. Can you take me to Gara's room?"

"It is with pleasure My Lady.."

The waiter immediately drove Alice to Gara's room which was very far from the urn room. Alice felt regretful for bothering the waiter.

Alice opened the door, then entered and closed the door again slowly. Someone closed his eyes from behind.

"Nadly..." Alice murmured, she forced open the hand that closed her eyes and turned around. A man she knew well smiled at her.

"Yes God...

Alice hugged Kent's waist tightly, Kent hugged him back, then kissed him on the forehead.

"I miss you, Alice.." Kent smiled, his face looking very happy.

"me too..

"Are you okay?

"Why didn't you come to my wedding?

"You know, I'm so pissed you don't exist.." Alice let go of her embrace and hit Kent's chest hard enough.

"I'm coming My Alice..

"I saw you, man,

"You look so pretty in that dress..

"And I also saw that vampire." Kent's face turned irritated when he mentioned something about Gara.

"Well, I didn't see you,

"But thank you for coming..

"Then, what are you doing here?" Alice looked at Kent seriously.

"I miss you, I told you that.."

"You shouldn't be here, Kent, this is Gara's room.." Alice looked at Kent's face, her eyes glistening like a big dog raining, she could not bear to chase Kent away.

"Ah..

"Stop that look..

"I see, I miss you too.."

"I'll go now.." Kent hugs Alice again, she is reluctant to let go of Alice, but she does not want to make trouble for Alice.

"Why? soon lunch..

"Come with me.." Bring Alice in hope.

"I can't Alice, maybe next time.." Kent looked at Alice and kissed her cheek, when he realized she was hurt.

"Alice..!!

"Your cheek..!!"

"Well, you realize it..

"Just leave it like that, I want to see it in the mirror myself, I hope it doesn't work." said Alice, she walked to the mirror near the bed.

"Let me treat him.." But as Kent approached, the door opened, and Kent quickly disappeared.

Alice stared at the door, Gara standing there with a look of annoyance.

"Aahs.. Cause..." Alice walked towards Gara.

Because she looked at Alice gently, she did not want to show her frustration in front of Alice, she was afraid that Alice would be afraid to see her figure like that. But because of the tranquility disturbed, he saw the blood on Alice's cheek, with enlarged eyes and increasingly red because it gripped Alice's shoulder.

"Who's this!"

Alice squirms, trying to release Gara's hand on her shoulder.

'I should have allowed Kent to treat me, I should have explained it like nothing important. I hope Gara believes.'

"Cara..

"Book..

"sickness..

Reflek Because releasing Alice's shoulder, he apologized, because he was not aware of his actions.

"I'm doing fine..

"Cara..

"Gear at me. .

As she looked into Alice's eyes, her face was full of regret.

"I'm sorry Alice..

"I just don't feel like I can protect you..

"What's going on?

"Tell me..

As she hugged Alice gently, she no longer wanted to hurt Alice.

"I'll say it, but..

"You have to be honest with me..

She let go of his embrace and looked at Alice..

"Cara..

"Eric is getting married?

"Why didn't you tell me?

"I look like a fool..

"I'm very sad, my sister-in-law is getting married and I don't know, even though we're on the same roof..

Alice clenched her hands together, she tried to hold back her cries, Alice recalled the incident this afternoon, when she met Laura, but Alice would not say that to Gara, she said, she knows Gara won't let Laura go, even if she's Eric's future wife.

Observing Alice's expression, she knows Alice is hiding something from her, but she doesn't want to force Alice to say something she doesn't want. Gara just smiled, then hugged her again gently, rubbed her head and kissed her forehead.

"alright..

"But Alice, I've actually been holding her back from earlier, but you smell really disgusting baby, I'm sorry.." For whispering.

Suddenly Alice let go of her embrace and laughed out loud.

"Ahh Garaa..

"Thank you for making me smile again..

"Kent came to visit before you came.."

Having known about it since earlier, he caught a glimpse of the Werewolf's shadow coming out from his room.

"Oh, that bastard.

"For the time being I'll let it.." Saying Gara.

"But you have to pay for it.." Tucked into Alice's neck, a chill spread across her neck, Alice was shocked and slightly surged, quickly catching her tiny body and holding her up to the bed.

"Well, you're switching the conversation, baby..." Alice hit Gara's chest hard as a rock repeatedly.

Laughing again.

"I'll say it, I promise. But, you have to pay first." A sly grin is seen from the corner of Gara's lips. Alice pinched Gara's nose tightly.

"Aww

"Aww

"Aww

"Let go baby, I'll say it..." Gara's nose looks very red, but there is no regret seen from the look on Alice's face, she was satisfied.

As Alice sat on her bed, she sat down in a chair facing Alice. Gets her hand gently, tries to smile and starts to take a breath.

"My Lady's..

"Listen carefully, dear.

"Eric will be married in three days.

"With a daughter named Laura. He's a pure vampire from the Yessel Kingdom." Looking at Alice. There was no feeling of annoyance and disappointment at the look on her face, Alice just smiled happily.

"My Alice??

"You okay, honey?

"You look happy, but I don't know why.." Because of scratching his head that does not itch.

"I'm happy because..

"I know Laura is pregnant..

"I'll have a nephew. Am I right? "

Like being struck by lightning, Gara was very surprised to hear Alice know the true state of Laura.

"What's the matter Gara? you seem surprised.." Alice stared at Gara's face, which was only a few inches from her face.

'It seems Alice does not know, if being pregnant before marriage is a big Aib for the kingdom, but I do not have to tell Alice this truth. I'm afraid I'm ruining Alice's happy feelings.'

"Ah yeah, that's the detail .

"It's like you already know, but it's a surprise." Trying to bring out her best smile.

"Aah Gara's..

"Please, don't smile.

"You look terrible.." Alice covered her face.

"This is my best smile, baby..." Pretending to look disappointed.

Alice opened her eyes and hugged Gara.

"Ah you base Vampire is cruel...!!" Alice pulled Gara's collar and kissed her lips quickly, then let go of her.

Surprised by Alice's actions to her, she is delighted to get a kiss from Alice, immediately raises Alice to bed and kisses her brutally.
