NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

A TRAITOR?

Alvero's words made Deanda take a deep breath and think hard.

There was something wrong with the bunker. Hopefully that's preliminary information to find other evidence.

Deanda said in her heart as she looked at Alvero, trying to start expressing her opinion about the next step they could take.

"Maybe Your Majesty, it seems we need to re-check the bunkers. Both the location and condition one by one. After that we may just find out if there is something wrong or suspicious with one or even all of the bunkers. If possible, we prepare detailed data about the plans and security facilities of each bunker. I don't know. Maybe each bunker has special characteristics that are different from each other." Deanda said in a soft voice.

"We don't need to think that the bunker has anything to do with this murder or anything. We just try to find what we can find when we see the info and visit the bunkers. Whether among the bunkers there is a secret that we do not know." Deanda continued her words back.

Deanda's words made Ernest immediately glance at Deanda with a look of admiration.

Not only beautiful, Empress Deanda has more ability to analyze things. The existence of the empress on Alvero's noble side completely perfected his noble position as a Gracetian king. No wonder the noble one really loves the empress.

Ernest said inwardly while smiling with proud eyes towards the two masters.

"Your father was right Empress. That makes sense at all. We need to do that so we can figure out what the bunker has to do with the dead eyewitness. He must have wanted to tell you a secret about the bunker." Alvero immediately agreed to the idea from Deanda.

"Ernest, prepare all the archives about the bunker data in the city of Tavisha. Starting from the location, when it was built, the building plan, all the security systems used, as well as the data of anyone who can access it, and the data of people who came in and out of the bunker in the past year." Alvero immediately ordered Ernest to immediately begin an investigation into the bunkers.

"Your Majesty. I'll be working on it soon." Ernest said with a sly attitude.

"And one more thing, investigate carefully who has become a traitor among us." Both Red, Deanda and Ernest immediately set their sights on Alvero with wondering faces once Alvero mentioned about the traitor among them.

"Why? Is something weird? I purposely said that so that you also start to be wary of the people around you. Don't you realize that this murder case looks so weird?" Upon hearing Alvero's words, Red's head turned back to the kitchen, where from where he was serving now the corpse of the murder victim was seen the side of his legs that were stretched stiff on the floor.

"You should know that among those around us there is a traitor working for Eliana." Alvero repeated his words about the existence of the traitor he was suspecting.

"How do you think the witness lived for decades if Eliana found out about his hiding place? And if Eliana had known for a long time that there was still one witness who was alive long ago.... I'm sure Eliana won't stay silent. And that witness would have been long dead if Eliana had known long ago about his whereabouts. Why would he delay the time to kill her." Both Red and Ernest were immediately pensive to hear the explanation of Alvero's plausible analysis just now.

"I'm sure, Eliana must also have just learned the truth about the existence of one of the eyewitnesses who are still alive today. Therefore, he had just tried desperately to silence the mouth of this only remaining witness." Alvero said in a cynical tone, recalling how atrocities Eliana had committed.

"Relax Mr. Red. I believe in you guys who are here. But I can't just believe it, with the people around us who might have been deliberately inserted by Eliana to be a spy in our midst." As if he could read Red's heartache, Alvero quickly answered Red's words.

"We should be equally more vigilant from now on. For the next time, the matter here I leave to Mr. Red and Ernest. Please bury both bodies properly. Treat them humanely, regardless of who and their status before they die." Alvero said as he glanced back towards the kitchen, where the corpse was still in its original position.

"Because there is no more that we can do here for now, we will immediately go to the city of Renhill to visit the noble Vincent. Ernest, check where Erich's been. I asked him to come after us to Croyen." Alvero took a deep breath after relaying his orders to Ernest.

What maybe the spy is.... Ah, I can't just accuse her of working for the Adalvino family for decades. Since Papa Vincent is still healthy, he is also one of Papa Vincent's confidants.

Alvero said in his heart after being drawn into his mind the name of a person who might be Eliana's spy and writhing around him.

"Your Majesty. I'll call Erich soon." Ernest said as he planned to walk out of the house and contact Erich.

Just as Ernest passed through the front door of the house, Erich appeared half-runningly moving towards Ernest.

"Ah, have you arrived here?" Ernest immediately patted Erich's upper arm.

"What's been going on? Guards in front of the storm guess what's going on here." Erich asked as his head looked to the side trying to see what had happened inside.

"What is it that noble Alvero and the empress are okay?" Hearing Erich's question with a worried tone, Ernest immediately smiled.

"He's both fine, only the only witness, the only hope of quickly restoring the good name of Mr. Alexis has been killed by a professional assassin. And it looks like that person is a surrogate from the queen mother. He himself died of poison." Ernest explained to Erich while shrugging his shoulders with a disappointed face.

"God..." Erich let out a short sigh with a visibly disappointed face upon hearing Ernest's words.

"Hurry in. Your Majesty is waiting for you. His Majesty wants to leave for Renhill immediately. I can't go with you guys because I have to finish my business here. Take care of the bodies of witnesses and murderers. Take good care of your majesty and empress." Ernest's words made Erich immediately go inside to meet Alvero and Deanda.
