NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

THE TRUTH ABOUT ALEXIS (3)

"Sorry, I'm too emotional. Papa can continue papa's conversation with his highness Alvero." Hearing how Deanda called Alvero with a noble name in front of him, Vincent immediately took a deep breath while stilling a smile on his lips.

"You look a lot like your father Alexis. A man who so respected and protected the honor of the Adalvino family. We Adalvino family are very lucky to have you as part of our family now. Your presence really makes you feel like you're meeting Alexis again. Forgive me for your actions, you must suffer the loss of both your parents in a miserable way." Vincent said as he patted Deanda's shoulder gently.

“After Larena died, I asked Alexis to return to the palace. But he chose to be the leader at Goldie Tavisha. Educate and straighten out the goals of the thugs, rebels whose hearts have turned loyal to the work of the return, even the hitmen. People who have been ostracized, even removed by society. At Goldie Tavisha, they are welcomed like family. Under Alexis' leadership, they became the ones who always supported the Adalvino family behind the scenes. Even now under the leadership of Red, who was once Alexis' right hand while still joined in the team of exclusive royal guard belongs to the king.” Vincent's eyes seemed to look far away when telling about the lunge of Alexis.

“Seeing how Alexis had to lose her beloved wife for saving Larena, not making Alexis distance herself from royal affairs even though she was no longer part of the royal guard team. Last time, when there was a massive rebellion that almost managed to control the palace. The troops from Goldie Tavisha came and became a castle fortress that managed to chase and defeat the rebels, even making their position cornered and reached the coast of Tavisha. At that time Alexis who fought with the leader of the rebel group was declared dead after falling from a cliff on the southern coast, along with the leader of the rebel group. Unfortunately, the body found only the rebel leader, while the body of Alexis, lost in the waves of the sea Tavisha.” Vincent's words again made Deanda's tears almost fall back, but Deanda quickly took her breath away, trying not to let her tears come back out.

“Pa... Thank you for telling me the truth about Papa Alexis which makes me relieved. In the end I know, papa Alexis is not a traitor and not someone who has a record of ever doing disgusting things like sexual harassment.” Deanda said by trying to put a smile on her lips.

“Thanks for the greatness of your heart son. In fact, you have the right to be angry or to ask me for justice about your father. But, don't involve Alvero in this. All my faults, Alvero's innocent in your papa case. You should still support Alvero as her consort.” Hearing Vincent's request, Deanda immediately nodded her head in a slow motion.

No matter how heartbroken Deanda was when she heard what had happened to her parents, her current status is the wife of Alvero, who must always be by her side and support her wholeheartedly. But there is one thing Deanda is now so eager to do, to help Alvero find evidence of Eliana's crimes and involvement in the deaths of Larena and Tiana, or perhaps even the death of Alexispun, Eliana is involved, recalling the story from Alvero that the traitor leader who fought with Alexis before dying also had a plaque with a carving of half the sun and the head of a roaring lion.

“You really are Alexis' daughter who is so proud. It's not wrong that Alvero chose you as his wife. From the very beginning Alvero took you to the palace, I knew you were an angel sent by God to Alvero and the Gracetian kingdom. I hope, Under the leadership of the two of you, the Gracetian country is progressing and Prosperous. And you can immediately get rid of everyone who has committed crimes in the past, so as not to add to the crimes they committed in the future.” A deep breath is seen by Vincent after expressing his hope for the marriage of Alvero and Deanda.

"There's not much I can say anymore. Alexis has never done anything wrong. If you want to clear Alexis' name, I'll help you sign a waiver that I did all of that for my personal gain. All my pure faults. I will make my statement in public. I must acknowledge my weaknesses and mistakes as a king who cannot protect my friends and family well in order to restore Alexis Federer's good name." Vincent's words succeeded in making the eyes of Alvero and Deanda widened.

“Papa..” Deanda's lips immediately let out a soft hiss hearing Vincent's words.

"Alvero, that was the quickest and easiest way to immediately clear Alexis' name, and restore her honor as a knight." Vincent said as he looked towards Alvero with a pushy look.

"No! I would never let Papa do that. To bear the fault of others on Papa's shoulders...."

"Alvero, I have lived in the shadow of Eliana, who has always tried to control me. Even I was so stupid that after a long time, I only realized that I had been living with an evil-hearted woman like Eliana. That's why I want to make up for all my mistakes one by one. I'll..." Vincent immediately cut off Alvero's words.

"No! I'll never allow it! I firmly refuse Papa's request! As king of the Gracetian I reject it! Trust me, I'll give you back your good name Alexis my way, without sacrificing innocent people. Everyone must bear their sins and mistakes. And I, as the king of Gracertian, I myself will punish Eliana and her accomplices who have dared to mess with our family, sacrificing many innocent people for their own benefit." Alvero again cut Vincent's words and said firmly.

Hearing Alvero's words, Vincent could only fall silent. On one hand Vincent felt so proud to see how Alvero as the king of Gracetian tried to behave and act fairly. A great man who deserved to be king succeeded him.

However, on the other hand there was such a great guilt seeping through Vincent's heart. Since he was the previous Gracetian king, felt unable to set a good example for Alvero. Making Alvero with his own strength must fight hard to be a great person and worthy of being a king for the entire Gracetian kingdom.

Seeing how Alvero behaved towards her father's problems, for both Vincent and Alexis, Deanda could only stare in admiration at her husband. The firm, authoritative, but clever figure of Alvero really made Deanda's heart shake and her heart was so filled with pride, affection and love for the man. And that sense of being is getting more and more in control of him right now.
