NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

Alvero casually enjoyed all the food served to him, accompanied by Deanda who several times sipped the juice given by Madame Rose, which was mixed with a grated lemon peel and mint leaves. Deanda sipped her drink slowly while looking at Alvero who had already cleared her lips of the rest of the food with her elegant movements.

Several times Alvero glanced at Deanda, and the attitude of his wife who was sitting while supporting her head with her palm, while continuing to look at her, made Alvero several times sing a smile on her lips. Enjoying dinner with Deanda at his side, really makes all the food presented in front of him at this time feel good.

For some reason, Deanda liked Alvero's attitude at the dinner table. The way Alvero enjoys food, the movement of his body when taking or feeding food in his mouth really looks so elegant. Anyone who sees it will be able to immediately judge that the man is not an ordinary man. A man who is really classy and shows that he is a person from the upper class who is well educated for manners problems at the dinner table.

"Why do you keep looking at me? Are you still hungry? Want me to bribe you sweetie? " Alvero asked with a smile looking at Deanda who did not look away for a second from Alvero from the beginning to enjoy his dinner.

"No, I'm full." Deanda immediately refused because she herself even though she had only eaten a little, but at this time she did not have an appetite.

"Or don't you actually want to eat me? I was horrified to see the way you looked at me like that. Huh...." Alvero said softly while shaking his shoulders, in a teasing tone, making Deanda instantly grimace amusedly.

"Something wrong with the way I look at you?" Deanda asked as she returned to drinking her juice.

"You look at me like you intend to do something to me. Are you really planning something against me? Don't make my feathers stand up." Alvero whispered softly into Deanda's ears who immediately smiled at the words of her husband who purposely teased her, whispering softly while sticking his nose pointed at Deanda's ears, making Deanda slightly shudder with amusement, at the same time feeling the subtle vibrations on his chest due to Alvero's friendly actions just now.

As soon as Alvero finished his meal, the waiters immediately cleared the dining table, madam Rose walked over to Deanda, who was seen several times looking to start to massage her head as she began to feel something uncomfortable in her head.

"Sorry Your Majesty, I noticed it seems like the empress is unwell, it is better for Her Majesty to immediately bring the empress back to the room in order to get some rest immediately." Hearing the words of Madam Rose, Alvero immediately turned to Deanda whose face looked slightly flushed and massaged her head.

"Why you sweetie? Are you sick?" Alvero asked as he observed Deanda's slightly wrinkled face, feeling that something was amiss with her body, there was a sudden sense of heat in her chest and her eyes felt a little unfocused, so he had to shake his head to regain his consciousness.

"Not knowing Your Majesty. I'd better go to the room to rest." Deanda said as she shook her head with narrowed eyes.

"Maybe the empress is too tired because the whole day is busy in the kitchen." Madam Rose said as she looked towards Alvero who looked worried looking at Deanda's condition.

"Please go to the room to rest." Madam Rose said as she glanced towards the juice glass that looked empty since Deanda had already drunk it all.

Hearing Madam Rose's words, Deanda immediately rose to her feet, followed by Alvero.

When Deanda intended to move his legs, Alvero immediately held Deanda's arm that looked a little staggering and held Deanda's body to avoid falling.

"Ah, I'm fine Your Majesty, just a little dizzy." Deanda said as she held the forearm of Alvero's hand.

"What happened to you, Sweety? Miss Rose, is it possible that the empress has an allergy problem with today's dinner menu?" Alvero said as he rubbed Deanda's body that was walking towards the room.

"Ah, that can't be Your Majesty. Throughout the day the queen was in the kitchen, and she knew exactly what the waiters were cooking for lunch and dinner at the palace. If the queen is allergic to certain foods, the empress must have told us. And if only the food served was poisonous or problematic, there must be other royal families reporting, because they ate the same food as Empress Deanda. It's been more than an hour since the dinner ended, and there's no problem." Lady Rose tries to distract Alvero from suspecting that someone is trying to poison Deanda.

"Maybe the empress just needs rest, Your Majesty." Madam Rose tried to calm Alvero whose face looked so worried at Deanda's strange condition.

"Alright Mrs Rose. I will accompany the empress to rest, make sure tonight no one interferes with the empress' rest. If anyone needs me or the empress, you help me handle it, if it's something really urgent, call Ernest or Erich as my representative." Alvero said to Madam Rose while waiting for the bodyguard to open the room door for her and Deanda who chose to be quiet because she felt her body was getting uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty. Tonight let all our palace affairs handle it well. His Majesty just needs to accompany the empress and make sure her condition is fine." Not caring about Madame Rose's words for worrying about Deanda so much, Alvero immediately stepped inside her room and let the bodyguards shut her door.

Deanda who was already inside the room, immediately stepped towards the sofa and sat there, sitting down, alvero walked directly to one corner of his room where there is a room containing a refrigerator and shelves and a marble table where there is also a water dispenser to take hot or cold water.

Why did Deanda suddenly change like that, like a drunk? Has anyone mixed alcohol into Deanda's food? Huh, who would have dared to do that? Didn't that person know that Deanda didn't have any resistance to alcohol?

Alvero said inwardly as he glanced at Deanda who was sitting on the sofa, then took out a glass, mixing between plain and hot water to become a warm drink.
