Ever since Deanda started chatting with Alaya, finally those who were there took part in the chat. So subconsciously, Deanda spent the rest of her lunch time chatting casually and jokingly with her best friends, as well as Alaya.
As if forgetting the time because it was so fun to exchange stories with his friends, Deanda slightly jolted as soon as he saw the notification from his cellphone that had a special tone if the one who sent the message was Alvero.
Sweety, time to get back to the office. Don't leave your chair empty. If you don't come back soon, I don't guarantee that you won't come there and take you away in my arms.
A message from Alvero asking him to immediately return to the office made Deanda smile knotfully, making the others immediately noisier.
"Wooo...." Simultaneously those who were there immediately teased Deanda who was still smiling knot after reading a message from her husband.
"Who's message?" Abella immediately teases Deanda while staring at her friends alternately with teasing smiles, making the others laugh.
"Sorry, I have to get back to the office right now. Your majesty needs me." Deanda answered her friends questions with a smile on her face.
"Wiks.... need you? As a personal assistant or as a wife?" The frank question from Abella was enough to make Deanda's face flushed.
"Do I need to explain in detail? I'm afraid you'll spend your time at this cafe if I tell you about it in detail." Deanda flirted with her friends.
"No! No need, we still love our lives. Quickly leave before his majesty sends us the executioner to deliver the beheading for trying to keep his wife back by his side." Cleoasa immediately answered Deanda's joke quickly while putting on a feigned face of fear, making Deanda laugh.
"Ok, I need to get back to your highness immediately. Happy working again. Next time we have to repeat our lunch like today." Deanda said as she reached for the briefcase she had placed on the chair she was sitting on, at the back, close to the back of the chair.
"What does noble Alvero really love empress Deanda?" The question from Alaya that was uttered after Deanda's figure disappeared behind the cafe's exit, spontaneously made Abella, Cleosa and Clare gasp in shock because the question sounded quite strange to them.
"of course. How strange is your question? Why do you ask such a thing? What makes you think that his Highness Alvero doesn't really love Deanda? If you don't love Deanda, why did your Majesty make Deanda his queen? Maybe you don't even know, since the beginning of noble Alvero who forced Deanda to marry him immediately? Do you feel their attitude is like someone pretending to be a friendly couple?" Hearing the many questions from Abella made Alaya a little surprised and confused to answer them.
"Eh. nothing. I don't mean anything. Just wondering if they really love each other." Alaya said while trying to smile at the others.
"Ah, where possible.I was just happy to see the two of them together. They look very compatible with one another." Finally, Alaya tried to calm her friends who began to look riled up because of strange questions from Alaya about Alvero and Deanda's relationship.
"However, it is not easy for a Deanda to be on the noble side. There were many things that he had to sacrifice even though he also got many things when married to a noble one that he might never be able to get if he married a man from among the people ordinary like us. What is certain is that his freedom as an ordinary person who can at any time go to have fun without burden, he can no longer do. What is now he is getting busy and certainly a lot of things about the kingdom that must also come he thinks well." Clare said as she glanced at Alaya, hoping Alaya understood that Deanda was a great woman who deserved to be by Alvero's side.
"True, just by imagining what is now Deanda's duty and responsibility as empress and noble personal assistant alone, has made my hair stand up. If that happens to me. It could be that every time there's a problem I pass out and nosebleed for not being able to deal with it." Cleosa added Clare's words, making Abella nod her head in agreement.
(Nosebleeds are a term known medically as epistaxis or nasal bleeding. Epistaxis is a condition characterized by the discharge of blood through the nostrils. This condition is relatively common with respect to the location of the nose in the middle of the face as well as the number of blood vessels found in the nose. Nosebleeds rarely signify something, but in certain cases, if left unchecked can threaten a person's life. In general, there are two nosebleeds: Nosebleeds on the front - most nose bleeds occur on the front, where blood flows from the wall between the two (sealed) canals inside the nose. This vulnerable area, called the Little's area, is rich in delicate, sensitive blood vessels that are delicate and prone to damage. Nosebleeds on the back - this unusual type of nosebleed occurs when the bleeding comes from the nasal cavity, located inside the nose between the brain and the roof of the mouth. Most nosebleeds on the back tend to be more serious than nosebleeds on the front. Such cases need medical attention).
"Luckily it was Deanda, who since childhood was known for her intelligence and rigor. Although it's hard and hard, if it's Deanda, I'm sure she can deal with it. Moreover, I heard from Deanda herself, that her majesty is so considerate and affectionate." Abella said as she got up from her seat.
"Come on, it's time to get back to where we work. I wish I could get back to having some time to chat with Deanda like today." Abella Kembalia said, moving her hand, inviting her friends to return to work immediately.

“Erich, do you like Cleosa?” Hearing a question from Alvero that he suddenly uttered once they were in Alvero's office, Erich immediately gasped in shock, completely not expecting Alvero to question such a thing to him.
Well.really critical. Does everything look so clear to his highness Alvero? It seems like I have never met Cleosa personally, let alone chatted with her alone. How did your highness suddenly think I liked that girl? Is there something that has happened that makes the noble one think so?
Erich said inwardly in a manner of remaining silent in place, silent in silence without answering any questions from Alvero.
