Admittedly by Vincent, the presence of Alvero this morning who suddenly appeared before him really made him touched and happy. For many years Vincent, deliberately keeping a distance with Alvero, hoped that by doing so could keep Alvero from jealousy Eliana and Dion, towards the figure of Alvero. So Vincent hopes Eliana will not hurt Alvero because he considers Alvero as a rival of Dion.
In the end, Vincent knows, what he has done so far has a painful impact on Alvero, making his relationship with Alvero tenuous, not like the relationship of a father and son in general. While his efforts to make Eliana not harass Alvero still did not succeed. And it was only known by Vincent in the last moments before Alvero brought Deanda to the palace and introduced the beautiful woman as his future fiancee.
Seeing Alvero had found a strong and kind woman as the port of his heart, making Vincent's heart steady to hand over his throne to Alvero on their wedding day. Vincent prepares it all secretly, so that the events of the day also make everyone surprised, including Alvero himself, who did not expect to get the throne so soon.
And that too, when his father was alive. If Alvero had not thought of protecting Deanda, Vincent and those around him, he would have refused to ascend the throne so quickly.
But Alvero's desire to be able to look after and protect his loved ones will be easier to do when he becomes the Gracetian king. Without hesitation, Alvero immediately accepted the surrender of the throne.
With what he did, Vincent really hopes Eliana starts to stop his crazy actions against Alvero. However, seeing how the actions of Eliana suspected Vincent had put something to make him deliberately remain in a wheelchair, for Vincent, not least what he had to defend from Eliana. It's just that Vincent is waiting for the most appropriate time until everything can be revealed.
If only time could be repeated. I'll never let Eliana take Larena's place. For whatever reason, I should have kept Larena by my side. And supposedly, Alvero can get the perfect affection from me and Larena. Poor Alveroku, not just losing a mother. However, even my duties and responsibilities as a father cannot be done well for you.
Vincent said inwardly as he closed his eyes briefly while enjoying a hug from Alvero.
Huh! If only time could be repeated! I shouldn't have met Eliana in my life! All because of my stupidity in the past! What a disgusting and disgusting folly!
Vincent again said in his heart, this time full of emotions towards himself, who at that time could be involved one night with Eliana because he could not control himself, he said, while drunk at a feast performed at the residence of Eliana's brother who was a new Earl ended his term, and was replaced by his son.
After being satisfied to hug Alvero, Vincent reluctantly released Alvero's body. As soon as Vincent let go of his embrace, Alvero immediately touched Deanda's waist with his right palm, patting her gently, giving Deanda a sign to greet Vincent.
"Good morning papa, good health always." Deanda said softly while hugging Vincent's body who immediately smiled and stroked Deanda's hair, as if she was stroking the hair of her biological daughter who had not met for a long time.
Even in silence, after Alvero announced their relationship, Vincent always asked someone to observe what happened between Alvero and Deanda. Everything that happened between them, and how their relationship, made Vincent feel relieved, because Alvero had found a great woman, who could support him wholeheartedly as the Gracetian king.
Even some of Alvero's decisions, influenced by Deanda's opinion, made Vincent feel calmer. Because in the end Deanda bia brought good impact to Alvero, and made him wiser and his heart much warmer, not like it used to be.
Erich, who was standing next to Vincent's wheelchair, immediately walked to the other side of the room, where there was a well-lined chair. Erich deftly took the two seats, lifted them up, and placed them in front of Vincent's wheelchair, so that they could be used to sit by Alvero and Deanda.
"Your Excellency Alvero and His Holiness Vincent, please have a comfortable conversation. I'm going out." Erich said while slightly bowing his body, before Erich finally walked out leaving the three people to chat quietly.
"How is papa now?" Alvero asked as he took a sitting position right in front of Vincent.
After that, Alvero gently pulled Deanda's wrist, to sit next to her, to start chatting with Vincent.
"As you can see, papa's condition is much better now. Even feeling much healthier than when papa was still in the palace, before fainting. Maybe because now there is you who replaces all the responsibilities and burdens of papa as the Gracetian king. After a long time, I can finally live casually." Vincent said with a small laugh towards Alvero and Deanda who were already in front of him.
"Akhhh, of course all that is not true. You know even long before you became king, even all my duties and responsibilities have been almost everything you did well. It seems that due to my incompetence, in the history of Gracetian, you will be the only crown prince to do all the duties and work of a king." Again Vincent said his words with a small laugh, with proud eyes on Alvero who replied with a smile as well.
"Don't say that. Papa is a great king. It's just that Papa's health condition is not possible, for Papa to do Papa's job well. I only helped, without direction and upbringing from Papa. I'll never get to this point either." Alvero said in a low tone, something he rarely does, showing that Alvero really respects Vincent.
Seeing how her husband, who has been known as a man who is cold, arrogant and does not care about others, now looks so appreciative and respectful of Vincent, Vincent, apart from the big and fatal mistake made by Vincent, Deanda humbled with her amber eyes staring with pride and admiration towards Alvero. His love for this man is getting bigger.
