NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)
REALLY GOOD ACTING
“Your Highness... Are there any plans in recent days for His Majesty to go out of town? Or is His Majesty planning to visit his Excellency Vincent?” As soon as dinner was over, one of Alvero's uncles asked about Alvero's schedule in the next few days.
Before answering a question from his uncle, Alvero, who was cleaning his lips after finishing his dinner, glanced slightly at Eliana who seemed to be pretending not to care about the conversation, but Alvero could see clearly how Eliana's eyes glanced sharply at Uncle Alvero who had just asked, with a face that looked so focused, waiting for Alvero to answer the question.
“I haven't had any thoughts there. Frankly, this is still the honeymoon period between me and the empress. I want to spend a lot of time with the Queen. Because as you all know, me and the empress have not known each other for a long time, we both still need a lot of time together to interact and get to know each other more deeply." Alvero said as he glanced with a friendly look towards Deanda.
Alvero's action was successful in making some people at the dinner table to put a smile on their lips, see how sweet Alvero's attitude towards his wife. While Dion and Eliana immediately turned their eyes away from the romantic scene presented by ALvero ekapda all who were present at the dinner table.
Eliana tried to hide her hateful gaze, while Dion tried to hide her envious and jealous gaze.
"But if the uncle has something important and urgent to do immediately, I can reschedule the schedule that I already have. Is there anything important you want to tell me?” Alvero asked his uncle.
“Your Majesty, if you please, tomorrow the day after tomorrow there is an invitation to lunch together with the donors who are involved in preserving the nature reserve in some Gracetaian area, to maintain the balance of nature and help become one of the countries that could become the lungs of the world, because it successfully donated oxygen. So far Gracetian is a role model country, our success in maintaining our green area, which is quite extensive compared to other European countries.” The words of one of the royal family members who delivered the invitation to Alvero, made Alvero smile while staring at the origin of the voice just now.
“I will manage my time well uncle. I'll tell Ernest to remind me there's an invitation from uncle for tomorrow's day after tomorrow. I hope there are no obstacles and can attend the event.” Alvero tried to answer wisely the request of one of his uncles, without showing that the day after tomorrow he and Deanda were not in the city of Tavisha.
“Akhhh The sudden sound of a small moan from Deanda's lips made everyone turn their eyes to Deanda who was grimacing with her hands holding her belly, including Dion and Eliana.
“What happened to the empress?”
“Why does the empress look so in pain?”
“What does the empress hurt?”
"Is there something wrong with the food today?"
Several whispers rang out inside the dining room, because of what had just happened. Alvero quickly stood up from his seat and approached Deanda with a worried face.
“What's wrong with you empress? Which part hurts? Is your stomach?” Alvero asked as both hands held onto the shoulders of Deanda who was still sitting on her seat with her body bent with both hands holding her stomach.
“Quick call a royal doctor!” Alvero shouted towards the guards who were standing guard near the door of the palace dining hall.
“No... no need Your Majesty, maybe I just need to rest in the room. After that it might be able to improve.” Deanda said as she tried to get up from her seat immediately.
Alvero immediately held both arms over Deanda's hand, helping her stand up.
“I'll excuse me to leave the dining room first. I'll take the empress to rest. Good night.” Alvero said a salute which meant also ending the dinner while still holding Deanda's arms.
“Goodnight Your Majesty, Empress.” Everyone in the dining room stood up and greeted Alvero.
Alvero immediately nodded his head to answer their greetings, and pushed Deanda out of the palace dining room, inviting her to return to their room.
With a limped step and still holding his stomach while grimacing, enduring the pain in his stomach, Deanda walked in aided by Alvero. Two guards followed them from behind.
Once inside the room, and Alvero had closed their door, Deanda immediately took a deep breath and exhaled through her lips, indicating she felt so relieved that she could finally make it back to the room. While Alvero who had been walking beside Deanda, holding both of Deanda's upper arms from the side just a small smile saw Deanda take a deep breath that signifies the sense of legibility, after having to pretend pain in front of a lot of people.
After that, the two of them looked at each other with smiles on their lips. And not long after, the two of them immediately laughed as they were amused by what they had just done. An act to make people believe that Deanda is experiencing severe abdominal pain. In order to make that an excuse for a while they did not come out of their room for these few days.
“Your acting is really amazing sweety, you should be a professional artist.” Hearing Alvero's words, Deanda immediately grimaced.
“Ah... You should also see how your acting is also amazing my Al. It looked so serious with a face that looked completely worried. Didn't you see their confused faces for thinking I was really sick? And you're so worried?" Alvero's laughter grew louder and louder at Deanda's words.
“True, I even saw Tira who was not eating dinner outside with her senior, almost running towards you with a face almost crying from worry. Fortunately, he didn't follow us to the room. Otherwise, it will be difficult to throw him out and you yourself will have to be forced to continue your acting for a long time. And I'm not sure if you can act that long without getting caught. Seeing all this time you are not a smart person to pretend to hide your emotions.” Hearing Alvero's words, Deanda could only smile as she walked towards their room's window.
While breathing a sigh of relief, Deanda's hand opened the window curtain that was actually closed, then stood behind the window while folding both hands in front of her stomach. Not long after, followed by Alvero who immediately wrapped his arms around Deanda's slender waist, hugging Deanda's body from behind.
