NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)
LOOKING FOR ALAYA
"I'll just go along with your plan, Your Majesty." Deanda immediately replied to a whisper from Alvero while smiling at some of the employees who were gathered in front of the elevator.
As soon as Alvero and Deanda entered their private elevator followed by Ernest, Alvero immediately turned to Ernest who was standing behind them.
"Ernest, most likely this morning we will go straight to Renhill after meeting with Alaya. Arrange for our departure to be known to others as a work visit, not because we have to meet his Holiness Vincent. For Alaya, ask Robert for a letter of duty so that she also gets an order to make a work visit, so that other employees do not question Alaya's departure." Alvero immediately gave the next order to Ernest, arranging everything so that everything could go well.
“Good Your Majesty. I will be working on.” soon Ernest quickly answered Alvero's orders.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Alvero, Deanda and Ernest immediately walked towards the R&D office, in search of Alaya.
“Good morning Your Majesty, Empress. What brings you both to this place without telling us first? Is there something urgent that has happened? Is there anything we can help you with?” Robert immediately welcomed the arrival of Alvero and Deanda upon hearing the two important Gracetian men came to visit the department where he worked.
Robert immediately allowed the three of them to enter his office in a respectful manner.
“There is nothing that urges Mr. Robert, only that, his majesty and the empress would like to meet with Ms. Alaya who works in the R&D department. There is information to ask Alaya about one of the relatives of Miss Alaya who is known by her highness Alvero.” Ernest immediately stepped forward and represented Alvero and Deanda to answer Robert's question.
“O, so yes.” Robert said while nodding his head.
“But unfortunately, today Miss Alaya applied for permission not to enter work. According to the caption, he had to leave for Renhill to meet one of his relatives in the city of Renhill.” Alvero and Deanda looked at each other as soon as they heard Robert's words.
“Do he have relatives in Renhill city Mr Robert?” Alvero immediately asked as he looked towards Robert who was slightly hissing and took a breath through between his lips.
“I don't know, just this time Miss Alaya asked for permission to take a day off and go to Renhill. Is it possible that his relatives who were there were sick, or maybe there was a party at his family residence, I also do not understand His Majesty.” Robert's explanation made Alvero Manahan breath for a moment.
On the one hand, Alvero was disappointed this morning he and Deanda could not immediately meet Alaya and inquire about the necklace and pendant she was wearing, as well as inquire about Alaya's true identity. But on the other hand, Alvero also felt a little relieved not to have to find many reasons to make people unsuspecting if he took Alaya to Renhill to see Vincent, Vincent, including the people in Adalvino's company who Alvero is convinced, there are spies and traitors who have been inserted by Eliana into this company deliberately to supervise his movements.
“Ok, then Mr. Robert. Doesn't matter. Our business with Ms. Alaya is not urgent, we just want to say hello and find out about one of her relatives. Ensuring that the people we know are in good condition.” Alvero quickly responded to Robert's words, keeping everything under control without anyone suspicious.
“Good Your Majesty, Empress, good morning.” Robert immediately gave a salute.
And after Alvero received it, Robert hurriedly walked towards the door of his office and opened it for Alvero and Deanda.
“Ernest, we're leaving for Renhill right now. Have Erich check Alaya's whereabouts at Renhill. I want to go to Renhill, I can go straight to where he is.” As soon as Alvero, Deanda and Ernest were in the elevator, Alvero immediately gave Ernest his next command.
“Good Your Majesty. I'll immediately arrange.” After answering an order from Alvero, Ernest immediately contacted one of the bodyguards to prepare Alvero's car in front of the Adalvino percussion building, so that once Alvero and Deanda got out of the elevator, Alvero and Deanda got out of the building, they could immediately walk out of the building to directly travel to Renhill.

“Your Highness, does besides prince Enzo His Majesty have another brother in Renhill?” The question from Deanda was enough to make Alvero scrunch his forehead.
“Nothing. But if it's Enzo, he's got some brothers on his mother's side. Why do you ask such a thing?” Alvero asked back without letting go of the grasp of one of his hands, from Deanda's hands ever since the two of them got into the car and traveled to Renhill, where they were, while his other hand was busy with a laptop on his lap, and sometimes a cellphone that occasionally rang, calls from some of his business partners.
“No, it's just that I was thinking who Alaya was meeting in Renhill. If she's your real sister, then she doesn't have any relatives in Renhill other than Prince Enzo. But it is impossible to suddenly meet Prince Enzo without Prince Enzo giving you any info, especially Prince Enzo must not know the info about the possibility of Alaya is your brother.” Deanda said while taking a deep breath.
“So... what are you thinking sweety?”
“I felt so curious about the person Alaya was meeting in Renhill, and how important the meeting was that Alaya had to ask permission not to enter the office today, as if it was a meeting that could not be postponed anymore.” Deanda spoke back to what was on her mind, making Alvero nod his head while slightly advancing her lips.
“You always think about the possibilities well. Consider well what could be the cause of each incident. Your analysis is really good. You deserve to be Gracetian.” Alvero said as he closed his laptop and placed it carelessly under his feet, then both of his hands moved swiftly grabbing Deanda in his arms.
“Yang is right Your Majesty. What if I was just an ordinary girl who is not so smart Her Majesty would not choose me as empress?” Deanda said with her lips, looking like an angry person.
Alvero laughed at Deanda's protest, which seemed adorable, not scary because Alvero knew that Deanda's anger was just a fake, it looked like a girl was seducing her lover.
