NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

FORTUNATELY I HAVE YOU

"Your Majesty. We will do it as best we can. May the journey of Her Majesty and the Empress to the city of Renhill proceed smoothly and safely. Also, His Majesty's plan in Renhill city is going well, according to expectations." Madam Rose said with a smile, hoping that what she had just said came true.

"Then, Madam Rose and Alea please leave this place in turn, so as not to arouse suspicion. Me and the empress will be here any minute." Hearing Alvero's command, without waiting any longer, Alea moved her legs, retreated backwards, to leave the place.

A few minutes later, Madam Rose rose from her seat, leaving Alvero and Deanda still in their seats with their eyes staring at the pool in the palace in front of them. For a while they kept quiet until Deanda looked at Alvero whose face looked serious, clearly many things the young king was thinking about.

"What's bothering you about my Al?" Deanda said softly as her hands tidied up some of the hairs covering her eyes due to the wind that had just hit her face.

"Ah, I was thinking about all the events that were happening around me. It seems, since your presence more and more crimes are opening up little by little. Even some things that I had never thought of, suddenly opened wide in front of me." Hearing Alvero's words, Deanda smiled faintly.

"Does that mean my presence by your side bothers you because now there's more you have to get done?" Hearing the question from Deanda, Alvero immediately bought his eyes and with a quick movement, Alvero's fingers snapped at Deanda's forehead which immediately let out a small laugh.

"Don't talk too much! Precisely with you near me, it seems that the evil-makers inevitably have to show up because there is no place for them to hide from us." Alvero said as he grabbed Deanda's hand, grasped it and moved forward and backward, between the seats they were sitting on.

"I am truly a king who is so lucky to have such a powerful and powerful empress like you. If only another woman were my consort, I would…."

"Your Excellency Alvero Adalvino, what did your words mean just now? Did you just say there was another woman you ever wanted to be your queen?" Hearing the words of Deanda who cut off his words with a tone of protest Alvero immediately laughed.

"Where possible... If it wasn't you, you know, even to look at it I would feel disgusted, let alone touch another woman. Never once have I thought of such a disgusting thing. I have never fallen in love with you other than you. You are my first and last love." After finishing his words, Alvero grabbed Deanda's hand and kissed Deanda's palm back several times with affection.

"Why your face? What makes you doubt my words?" Alvero said with his hazel eyes staring deeply at Deanda's seemingly silent face without replying to her words, making Alvero think that Deanda doubted her words just now.

"Is it because of Alaya? Why do you worry about the existence of a woman who does not cause me allergies, but can never move my heart, as you have done? Are you aware? If it wasn't you, from the very beginning of our meeting, I'd have decided to never get married. If it wasn't you, I'd rather let my age reach 27 without a wife beside me, and my crown son's title would have me hand over to Enzo." Hearing Alvero's words, Deanda felt something slightly stifling coming out of her chest.

Not because of emotions or because of heartache, but a sense of haru and happiness that so filled his chest, that made Deanda's chest feel so full and her body slightly vibrated.

Deanda said inwardly as she stared at Alvero with a feeling of love so filled her heart. A feeling of love that he had never felt when he was with any man.

"Thank you, Al... I love you..." Deanda said softly as she pointed the back of Alvero's hand that was holding it to her cheek, sticking it there until Alvero's body jolted because it felt something flowing, wetting the back of her palm.

With a quick movement Alvero stood up and dragged his chair to get closer to Deanda's chair, just sitting there again.

"Sweety... Why are you? What's going on?" Alvero looked a little panicked as soon as he realized that Deanda, who had been known as a tough woman, suddenly cried before him without him knowing what was the cause of his empress crying at this time.

"Sweety. Look here, look me in the eye... What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly crying? Have any of my words made you sad?" Alvero said as he tilted his head towards Deanda's face, trying to see Deanda's crying face and deliberately bowing her head so that Alvero would not see her crying face at this moment, which to Deanda would definitely look ugly to Alvero.

With a pushy gesture, Alvero grabbed Deanda's chin and pointed Deanda's face towards her.

"Please, don't worry me. What happened to you, Sweety? Why crying?" As soon as he heard Alvero's increasingly worried question, Deanda, who had initially closed her eyes, let Alvero gently rub her cheeks, to wipe away her tears, opened her eyes slowly while raising her head.

After opening her eyes and looking at her husband's face for a short while, Deanda suddenly moved both of her hands to Alvero's neck, then tightly hugged Alvero's body while putting his chin over Alvero's shoulder. Seeing Deanda's actions, Alvero immediately patted Deanda's back gently.

Deanda slightly took a deep breath to stop her crying. For some reason, Alvero's sudden love statement and words of statement from Alvero that shows that his existence is really valuable to Alvero make him so moved. Even because of him, Alvero was willing to give up the crown prince title he had, making Deanda's chest feel crowded and full.

The feeling of haru mixed with happiness makes Deanda can not bear to not cry in front of Alvero. It felt like her chest was tucked tight with gratitude having a husband like Alvero who from the beginning of their meeting, her eyes only looked at her one, without ever looking at another girl.

"My Al's.... I love you so much.... I'm sorry I've been such a whiny woman today. I really feel lucky and very happy to be your woman. You can have such a great love for me." Deanda said as her nose kissed Alvero's cheek, with her chin leaning against Alvero's shoulder making Alvero smile happily.

"Ah, don't say it like that sweety. When it comes to luck, I'm the luckier person to be reunited with you and be able to have you as my wife." Alvero said softly and countered Deanda's expression of affection by gently stroking Deanda's back affectionately.
