NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

EXPLANATION OF ALEXIS (2)

Seeing how Deanda's face was not calm and paled back, Alvero who looked at Deanda directly leaned her body to the side and whispered softly to Deanda.

“Are you okay? Do you want to rest sweety?” Hearing Alvero's slow whisper, Deanda immediately shook her head without thinking for a long time.

It felt like there were currently dozens or even dozens of questions he wanted to ask Alexis. But his lips felt so hard to open and make a sound.

A moment later, Alexis continues his story, about the condition of Larena who was badly hit after the fire, which he deliberately fled the country so that her existence is not known by Eliana.

Because of severe burns, as well as her psychological trauma, not to mention that Larena was pregnant in the first trimester of her pregnancy, what she experienced had put her in a coma for more than a month.

The condition of Larena who is pregnant also makes it difficult for doctors to perform actions, especially actions that require anesthesia, but to recover some of the injured body parts of Larena, the doctor must perform surgery that certainly requires anesthesia.

(Anesthesia (refraction; derived from the Greek an-"no, without" and aesthetos, "perception, ability to feel"). The term anesthesia was first used by Oliver Wendel Holmes Sr. in 1846. Anesthesia is an action to relieve pain when performed surgery and various other procedures that cause pain, in this case, the fear needs to be eliminated to create optimal conditions for surgery).

Larena's pregnancy is so young that doctors have to delay their actions until Larena gives birth so as not to be harmful to the fetus. This resulted in Larena having to go in and out of the hospital often because the temporary treatment done by the doctor sometimes made the condition of Larena's body weak and experiencing pain so it must be rushed to the hospital at that time.

(Mothers who receive anesthesia in early pregnancy may give birth to babies with central nervous system defects. In addition, babies are also at risk of congenital cataracts and other defects such as hydrocephalus. Therefore, if an anesthetic procedure is needed, it will usually wait until the pregnancy enters the second trimester, or if it is not forced to be delayed until the baby is born).

And the condition of Larena who is pregnant, in addition to doctors can not do surgery, doctors also do not dare to give her too much analgesic drugs and antibiotics, which will certainly also have a lot of effect on fetal growth if used carelessly in pregnant women.

(Not all, but there are analgesic drugs that can cause malfunction and risk of hemorrhage, delay labor and prolong the labor process with an increased risk of bleeding in pregnant women, especially in the last weeks of pregnancy).

“After Empress Larena gave birth, it took her more than three years to make the wounds on her body completely heal. But the problem was that it was not just physical injuries sustained by the empress Larena, but psychic wounds. For a long time, Empress Larena was so frightened when she met a stranger and did not dare to approach the fire, even the fire from the stove flame could make her hysterical. And it happened for years.” Alexis recounted Larena's condition after she gave birth to Alaya.

Alvero held her breath while enduring the pain in her chest hearing the sad story about her mother after leaving the palace. Alvero clearly knew what it was and how it felt from the trauma. Because he himself has experienced it.

How the cruelty of an Eliana and the fear it causes have resulted in a deep trauma to Alvero with a female figure, making him years allergic when it comes to skin contact with women, until he finds the figure of Deanda, who is a woman, who apparently helped him in his childhood, so that every time he was near Deanda, Alvero always felt comfortable and calm.

“Empress Larena is a great woman. Amidst all the problems she faced, she still tried to raise princess Alaya well. Although the years she had just experienced the fire made her a woman who hardly ever talked to anyone else, including me, let alone strangers. Some people even thought the empress was a mute woman. But the empress always smiled when she saw princess Alaya. It's just that every once in a while maybe his memory goes back to that terrible event, making him suddenly speechless with blank eyes and unconcerned with what's going on around him.” Imagining how his mother was doing, Alvero breathed a little rough through his lips.

“Does Mr Alexis know why Empress Larena didn't take me out of the palace with her back then?” Hearing Alvero's question, Vincent quite snapped in shock, and Alexis took a deep breath before answering Alvero's question.

“At that time empress Larena knew the safest place for her young noble was in the palace as crown prince, because after all, his highness Vincent would definitely protect his highness Alvero. Empress Larena instead had no desire to take her noble Alvero with her. He once asked me how he could stay with his highness Alvero even though he was outside the palace. But after several attempted assassinations, consort Larena feared that in the future she could not protect her highness Alvero well.” The explanation from Alexis involuntarily made Alvero slightly breathe a sigh of relief.

It turns out that mom didn't take me because she was worried that I'd be killed by Eliana. You snake woman! Your cruelty can no longer be forgiven! There will be no mercy for you! I'll make you avenge every pain you've created for my family.

Alvero said inwardly as she clenched her teeth as she held back her anger at the thought of Eliana.

“Why didn't you tell me this Alexis?” Vincent said in a voice that sounded trembling, not expecting that all this time behind her Eliana had been acting so impudently towards Larena.

“Sorry Your Majesty. Actually at that time, all the events experienced by the queen Larena some of them look like an accident that was unintentional. And for the hit men we caught, they committed suicide. Made us lose the chain that connects between the killer and the master who already ordered it. We continued to investigate and there was only one witness to the truck driver who finally admitted his actions because his life was not calm after trying to hit the empress, but before we managed to interrogate her further, there was a great fire at the residence of the empress Larena.” Alexis ended his words with a deep breath.

Given all the bad things in the past, it is not an easy thing, and it is also being felt by Alexis at this time. Alexis knows the story of the past, not only hurt Deanda, Alvero, Vincent, or Larena, but also hurt himself.
