After having a serious conversation with the others while enjoying their breakfast, Alvero and Deanda immediately arrange time with Ernest to meet Red and Marcello. This time, Alvero asked Deanda to arrange it for them.
Upon hearing that Deanda chose Goldie Tavisha as their meeting place, Alvero could only smile. Deanda purposely held the meeting at Goldie Tavisha, arguing that the people at Goldie Tavisha were free people who were not bound by long-term cooperation with any party.
However, on the other hand they are sworn-in people, that they will never harass the Adalvino family. Even they would sacrifice their lives if they had to give it to the glory of the Gracetian kingdom under the leadership of the Adalvino family. For Deanda, it was the best place in the city of Tavisha that Eliana's men could not observe and enter.
Besides all those reasons, Deanda felt a little missed Goldie Tavisha. The place where he spent most of his time while his father Alexis was still alive. And somehow lately the memories that had happened when he was with his father so disturbed Deanda's mind.
Moreover, during this time, Deanda and Alvero were focusing on the problem of Alexis, making Deanda feel so missed the figure of his father. Thinking of Alexis who always loved him, teaching how to care and love and protect others sincerely, as well as how he taught him martial skills, made Deanda's eyes a little teary.
But Deanda quickly lowered her head, pretending to be serious about enjoying her food so that others would not see what had just happened to her. The memory of Alexis made Deanda's chest, which was often remembered about her father's figure, feel a little tight, and, because of the longing he could not express and show because the person he missed was no longer in this world.
However, what happened to Deanda, no matter how small it was, was never separated from the eye of Alvero, who always observed everything that happened to Deanda, who always observed everything that happened to Deanda, and whatever Deanda did.
"Ernest. Madam Rose and Alea, you two should immediately return to your place so as not to arouse suspicion. You can clean up everything later. I also don't want the empress to rush in to enjoy her breakfast and rest this morning." Alvero said as he glanced at Deanda who was still enjoying the dessert of her mouth in a slow motion, to cover that her heart had just felt so unsettled due to the memory of Alexis.
Alvero herself had finished eating her morning earlier. Without needing to repeat his orders, Alvero saw the three people immediately move to carry out his orders.
"What are you thinking?" As soon as they were all no longer in their room, Alavero's arm immediately grabbed Deanda's head and leaned her on her shoulder.
"Nothing, just remembering papa Alexis. I miss him." Deanda who had managed to master his emotions said softly.
Hearing Deanda's words, Alvero raised his head for a while, then looked at his wife's face while stroking the hair on Deanda's head.
"I know that. Therefore, I purposely let you have our meeting at Goldie Tavisha. I know that place has a lot of good memories between you and Papa Alexis. Also you and your friends include Red." Alvero said as his other hand grabbed Deanda's hand, then grasped it tightly using one hand.
"I don't want any bad memories etched into my children's minds about a father." Alvero continued speaking, as if he were talking about himself and Vincent, who, because of Eliana's existence, were distanced from each other, and even hurt each other without them both realizing.
"You will surely be a great father figure to your children my Al." Deanda said while distancing her body from Alvero, then extended her hand towards Alvero's face, then gently stroked the handsome face of the husband she loved so much.
With a smile on his face Alvero moved his hand to grab Deanda's hand that was stroking her face. Grasping Deanda's hand tightly.
"I love you sweetie..." Alvero said softly as she slowly kissed Deanda's lips which instantly closed her eyes, enjoying the presence and soft touch of Alvero's lips on her lips which always managed to make her chest thump and feel so happy, could be part of the life of that awesome guy sitting next to her.

"Good day, Your Majesty, Empress..." Rock who happened to be the one who first saw the figure of Deanda and Alvero with Ernest out of the car parked in the parking lot of Goldie Tavisha immediately greeted them and saluted the two of them give a sign of receiving their salute.
"Rock. Don't be that formal to me. Just call Deanda as you always do." Hearing the words of Deanda Rock just looked at Deanda with a frown, seeing that, Deanda immediately smiled, then smacked Rock's shoulder slowly.
"Eh..." Deanda's act of hitting Rock on the shoulder with a familiar attitude made Alvero almost pull Deanda's hand quickly, keeping her away from Rock, but the cheerful smile on Deanda's face as she looked around her after punching Rock's shoulder softly made Alvero instantly stop her intentions.
Ah, never mind, my wife didn't hug or kiss Rock. So obnoxious…. Even though he should be close friends, there is no need to be that close. Hah...it seems like I really have to hold myself back often so as not to get angry when I see my wife being friendly when meeting her friends. Really not that delicious!
Alvero said inwardly as he glanced at Rock who consciously immediately distanced his body a little from Deanda if not want the man standing next to him continue to shower him with such a gaze it was sharp as if his eyes contained a fire arrow that was ready to burn him if he continued to be too close to Deanda's figure.
Alea had once said that his highness Alvero was a man who was overprotective and heavily jealous when it came to Deanda, but I did not expect that his noble possessiveness turned out to be that severe. It was really acute and could not be helped anymore. Ck ck ck.
Rock said inwardly as he turned his head in the other direction, trying to avoid Alvero's sharp gaze on him, which actually began to decrease his level of sharpness, because suddenly Deanda turned her head towards Alvero, who was looking at him, before Deanda's eyes looked back at Rock.
