NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

ALVERO'S KILLER

"I'm coming with you." Deanda immediately responded to Alvero's remarks so that he could come to discuss Alexis's problem.

"No. You rest in the villa. Today you even look so sleepy." Alvero immediately rejected Deanda's wishes firmly.

If only to be honest, Alvero rejected Deanda's desire to come with him not because he purely wanted Deanda to rest. However, more precisely Alvero does not want Deanda to meet Evan, who until the last second when he meets Deanda, from the look of his eyes to Alvero, who is, it looks so obvious it still holds a love in its heart for Deanda.

Alvero knows he won't let Evan take Deanda away from him, never giving Evan the slightest chance to be able to do that. However, Alvero realizes he cannot stand in the way of Evan's choice to keep his love for Deanda. And all Alvero can do now is to limit the meeting and communication between Evan and Deanda, so that they start to keep their distance.

For some reason, even though Deanda was already his, for Alvero it was still so difficult to let other men look in awe at Deanda. Moreover, the figure of Evan that can be said is the number two man after himself in Gracetian who is also known for his good looks, authority and prowess as the highest leader in the military Gracetian kingdom. And certainly, the man whom the women of Gracetian coveted as their lover or husband.

"Come on my Al, I'm just sleepy, not sick. After tonight's passing. Tomorrow morning I will recover. I'm going with you tomorrow." Deanda said as she placed the empty glass on the nightstand, but Alvero remained silent not answering her request.

"Is it because I'm a woman? So you think I'm not worthy to interfere in your affairs? But this is about papa Alexis. I want to be able to help find the evidence to restore papa's good name. You don't know how I feel seeing a papa who in my memory is a good and loving father to his family, apparently getting such cruel accusations." Deanda said as she grabbed Alvero's right hand and grasped it tightly.

"Sweety, you know I never put you down just because of the gender differences between us. Even you know I've always considered you my best partner in everything, including in terms of me leading the kingdom and the company. Therefore, in addition to your position as empress, I also asked you to become my personal assistant in the company. Because I know your great abilities. But for tomorrow's business, let me and the others finish it for you." Alvero said softly, trying to keep Deanda from canceling her intention to come with him tomorrow to meet Evan.

“You know I won't be able to rest if you let me here, but my heart and mind are with you.” Deanda answered Alvero's words quickly.

"Sweety..." Alvero said softly while scratching his brows.

"My Al's... Please understand that I am the only son of Papa. I want to take part in restoring Papa's good name. Whatever happens, I must be able to eliminate the charges. If it wasn't me defending your good name, who else would?" Deanda continued her words slightly raising her head, looking at Alvero deeply, making Alvero have to gulp down her saliva seeing how the face of his wife who was looking at him with a clear look, made her heart feel trenchant, she said, it was as if he could feel how painful it was to see the reality of a person so dear to him being vilified so cruelly by others.

Deanda's desire as a child to be able to participate in the process of how to make Alexis' name clean again, is completely understandable by Alvero. For Alvero, he is also a child, who although not close to Vincent, he also loves and respects Vincent as his father.

After all, in fact, without Vincent, Alvero was aware he would never exist in this world. Moreover, since they made the reconciliation this morning, there is no burden in Alvero's heart to Vincent. Instead, making Alvero increasingly want to do his best to protect his father.

After that in a gentle gesture, Alvero grabbed Deanda's head and pressed it against her field chest, while taking a deep breath.

"Please promise me Sweety, never leave me, no matter what. Whatever burden you will bear for being my side, as Gracetian's consort with many duties and responsibilities, stay with me, stay by my side for every season of my life." Hearing Alvero's pitiful words, Deanda immediately raised her head, looked at Alvero who was bowing her head, and looked deeply at Deanda.

"You are... Where can I leave you again? We are bound forever until death do us part. If in the future you meet another girl, you also must not think of cheating and cheating on me, or else I will completely leave you." Alvero immediately smiled hearing the threat from Deanda.

"I promise never to take my eyes off you. To me, there is no other girl or woman besides you." Alvero said she kissed Deanda's forehead a few times in a friendly manner, hoping Deanda could feel the amount of love she had for her chosen woman.

"Nobody can take my heart away from you, Sweety. Not now or in the future. I will always choose you as my woman." Alvero again said while tightly hugging Deanda's body which immediately smiled happily because of Alvero's promise to her.

"Ah, if you're the one asking, it's like I'll never be able to say no. But sweety... Can I ask you something in exchange for tomorrow?" Hearing Alvero's question, Deanda slightly distanced her body from Alvero, although it could not be too far away as Alvero's two arms were still coiled on his back, and did not allow him to move too far away from her.

"What do you want from me my Al?" Alvero took a deep breath before saying his wish.

Alvero knew his request would definitely sound ridiculous to Deanda, but it was better for him to reveal it to Deanda, than he could tomorrow not concentrate and think clearly while attending the meeting with Enzo and Evan.

"Tomorrow.don't stare too often at duke Evan, don't smile at him too much. No need to talk to him. If there is something you want to know or ask, whisper to me. I'll ask for you." Deanda's eyes immediately glared at Alvero's words.

"Jeez my Al... What are you thinking about me and duke Evan? Don't tell me you're jealous of her?" Deanda said with narrowed eyes at her gelatinous laughter, upon hearing Alvero's request which showed how possessive and jealous her handsome man was.

"Who said I was jealous? I'm the number one man in the Gracetian kingdom. Why be jealous of a duke? I just wanted to protect you...." Alvero said softly with his seemingly unsettled attitude, making Deanda hold back her gelatinous laughter which seemed to be getting bigger.
