NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)
THE BEGINNING OF A STRESSFUL MEETING
"I don't want to act rashly. I don't want to ruin my daughter's happiness until we fail to finish her off. As long as that woman is alive and has power, I fear that she will still ruin my daughter's happiness. And definitely not just my daughter, but your family. That's why I need to get rid of that woman immediately so that everyone can return to life in peace and happiness. And this country of Gracetia is again safe and prosperous, free from evil." The man said in a voice that sounded so fiery, showing such great anger in his eyes.
"I've been watching the movements of that cruel woman for a long time. Actions that are too rushed will actually harm us. We have to prepare everything new we can destroy that demonic woman. We know right now he is also waiting for the right time to attack the kingdom and the palace." The man said with his baritone voice.
"It was enough that I lost my wife in such a horrible way before my eyes. I don't want to lose any more of the people I care about in such a miserable way. I will prepare the special forces members well to be able to deal with the attack of the female rebel group, which is now deliberately infiltrating the mafia members from abroad into its forces." Alexis went back to explaining to Alaya the reason why she could not immediately do what Alaya said, even though her heart actually felt so eager to do so soon.

"Your Majesty...." Deanda said as she held Alvero's arm tightly, making the man stop his steps and immediately turn his head towards Deanda.
"Why you? Are you sick sweetie?" Alvero quickly stretched out his hand, sticking the back of his mouth into Deanda's brow which looked nervous and a little pale.
"Ti.. no. It's just that, somehow, my heart suddenly felt uneasy, like something big was going to happen to me." Deanda said as one of her hands clenched her chest which suddenly felt like it was pounding ever since she entered the door of the restaurant.
"Huh...what happened to you today sweety? Why is it so weird?" Alvero said as she gently patted Deanda's hand holding her arm tightly, indicating that there was something Deanda was feeling right now that made her look agitated.
"Call sweetie, everything's gonna be fine. Nothing bad will happen. I'm here, don't worry. Beside me, there is still Ernest who would even willingly sacrifice his life for you." Alvero said with a seductive smile towards Deanda who finally eased the smile on her face, trying to drive away the turmoil of her heart.
"Your Majesty, please...." The head of the restaurant immediately directed his hand to let Alvero and the others walk towards the place where Alaya had booked a meeting with her uncle.
Once in front of the door of the VIP room of the restaurant that has a sea view of Renhill city, the leader of the restaurant immediately knocked on the door of the Vip room.
Alaya who was having a serious conversation with her uncle immediately turned her head by narrowing her eyes as soon as she heard the sound of knocking on the door from the VIP room she rented.
"Have you also invited someone else Alaya?" With a vigilant and alert attitude, Uncle Alaya immediately sat up with an upright position.
"Just open the door. In this Gracetian, no one knows for sure about your true status. Besides, it's been a dozen years since I left this country. Surely people will no longer remember my existence, even my face must have been forgotten by people who might be able to recognize me. There's no reason for anyone else to look for us." Hearing the optimistic words of his uncle, Alaya walked closer to the door.
"Good day, miss, someone wants to meet..."
"His Majesty Alvero...." With a face that looked very shocked, with a slightly high tone of voice, Alaya immediately cut the words of the restaurant leader as soon as she saw the figure of Alvero who was right in front of the door of the VIP room where she was.
"Can I go in Miss Alaya? There's something important, which we need to talk about." Without waiting for an answer from Alaya, as soon as she finished saying her question, Alvero went straight into the room, followed by Deanda and Ernest.
As for Alaya's own uncle, upon hearing Alaya's voice that looked so shocked, immediately got up from his seat and turned his body, facing directly towards the entrance of the room.
As soon as Uncle Alaya turned his body towards the door, Alvero immediately looked at him with eyes that looked so sharp as well as probing, trying to guess who the middle-aged man who looked so dashing with his muscular body, at his age who was no longer young.
Deanda who followed Alvero into the room seemed shocked when she saw the figure of Alaya's uncle. Deanda's eyes were perfectly rounded to see the figure of Alaya's uncle standing before her at a fairly close distance. While Alaya's uncle himself seemed no less surprised to see the existence of Deanda who was suddenly present in front of him.
"Lt..." A small screech accompanied by a heavy breath could be heard from Deanda's lips before the Gracetian empress' body suddenly suffocated and fell unconscious.
Fortunately, with swiftness and rapid movement, Alvero's arm grabbed and supported his wife's unconscious body, before falling to the floor.
