NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

MORE AND MORE INFO

"Calm Pa. I won't let Papa be humiliated for someone else's stupid actions. Moreover, until Papa takes over something that is not the responsibility of Papa. Why should you bear the guilt of Eliana? Who has become a destroyer in our family? Make us suffer? With all my abilities, I will protect the Gracetian kingdom and the Adalvino family from irresponsible people like him, whose hearts are filled only by ambition to property and power." Alvero said as he held onto Vincent's thigh, then stroked him gently.

With a haru look, Vincent gazed deeply into Hazel's eyes and the chins of Alvero's lowered, lashes and jet-black hair passed down from Larena Hilmar.

"I believe you, son. Do what you think is best for our kingdom and our family." Finally Vincent said as he gently patted the back of Alvero's palm which was on his thigh.

"But Pa, since when did Papa start to suspect Eliana wasn't a good woman?" Alvero asked in a cautious tone, as Alvero had no idea what kind of feelings Vincent had for his stepmother.

Whether it is a feeling of admiration, pity, affection, or even a feeling of love. After a long time Vincent kept Eliana by his side, Alvero thought that Vincent would have a bit of affection for Eliana.

"After Deanda's presence in the palace that morning. When he looks so angry because you asked for a formal family meeting and introduced Deanda as your potential fiancee. His anger at that moment made me secretly tell people to start watching what Eliana was doing so that she would not do anything that could hurt Deanda. In order not to repeat the same events as in the past. Bad things that happened to your mom. Back then, I was afraid Eliana was trying to separate you from Deanda. Although I can't prove it, some people close to me suspect Eliana as the culprit behind the burning of Larena's residence that night." Vincent said as he leaned back his back against the back of his wheelchair.

“I know Eliana's anger occurred because of her fear to make Dion the next Gracetian king will fail because of Deanda. This year your age will reach 27 years, and after a long time, you finally bring a girl to the palace. That must have left him disappointed and afraid to lose the opportunity to seize the throne for Dion. And I don't want him to do anything to prevent your engagement.” Vincent's words made Alvero slightly nod his head.

"As my people began to observe Eliana, they began to discover many strange things happening around her. It even ended with my suspicions with the medicine that had been prepared by him for me to consume for the past few years. Because there was a time when my man saw him meet with my personal doctor outside the palace. And it doesn't happen just once. And every time Eliana met the doctor, Eliana would receive something more appropriately referred to as medicine. As for all this time, I knew she had no problems with her health." Vincent's words made Alvero and Deanda both frown.

"Not to mention, several times without my knowledge, Eliana had meetings with people who were not members of her family, nor noble families. Whether the association he visited, for sure, the event of the association was not an official meeting that was usually attended by the royal family. And he attended the meeting himself in the absence of any other members of the royal family. So it's really suspicious. Info on the places he's been to for that meeting, I'll leave it to you. I know you're more than capable of solving Eliana's problems than I am." Vincent said as he moved his wheelchair to the nightstand near his bed.

In a slow motion, Vincent opened the drawer from the nightstand, and picked up a red flash disk. Then Vincent moved back in his wheelchair, drawing closer to Alvero and Deanda, who were watching what Vincent was doing.

"In this flash disk, there's some information about what Eliana's been doing lately. Use it well, and look for evidence that Eliana was indeed the arsonist of the house where Larena lived before she died. Punish him with a penalty that is worth every crime he has ever committed. I won't calm down until he pays for what he's done to our family." Vincent's words were spoken in a fiery tone after handing the flash disk over to Alvero.

Seeing how Vincent's words were filled with an aura of anger, disappointment, and sadness and regret that was so deep, Alvero took a deep breath. It feels like he's been so curious about what Vincent really felt about Eliana all along.

"I want you to immediately remove Eliana from the palace, or I will never return to the palace. I don't want to be where that woman is. Only one thing I ask of you is that Alvero, if possible, keep looking after and educating Dion, because after all he remains an Adalvino. No matter how ugly Dion was, his presence was purely my fault, not Dion's. All this time I survived with Eliana also because for her sake, so that she would not become an illegitimate child, and she could get the Education and decent life as prince of Adalvino like the other princes of Adalvino. If it wasn't for Dion, I wouldn't be anywhere near that woman." The next words from Vincent that show that Vincent is not comfortable near Eliana, make Alvero without thinking long to ask the thing that has always made him curious.

"Then, actually, what's the relationship between papa and Eliana like?" Alvero immediately asked with his eyes staring at the sad looking face of Vincent.

"The two of you are both adults, it's time you knew about your true feelings. Until this moment, the love you have, only for Larena Hilmar, no other woman. Ever since I and Eliana got married because of Dion, I have never once touched that woman, except on a cursed night where I foolishly betrayed Larena for alcohol. Although after that Larena came out of the palace, never for a second did I let her trouble and alone. Alexis and Tiana are always with him, to make sure he is okay and not lacking anything. Lucky that night Tiana did not invite Deanda who was being entrusted at her grandmother's house." After saying that, Vincent took a deep breath, showing deep sadness as he recalled the story between Larena, Alexis and Tiana and himself.
