NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

PLANS TO MEET ORNADO

"Another important info Your Majesty, some time ago Mr. Alexis observed the movement of this group, and it seems they are closely related to some mafia groups in Italy. And I had a little talk with duke Evan some time ago before the order from His Majesty went down. What does His Majesty remember about the person from abroad that the queen mother met secretly in the hotel at that time? From the investigation of the previous duke Evan, duke Evan discovers that he is a recidivist. And it turns out that he used to be the liaison between consumers who wanted to buy weapons on the black market, and mafia heads in Italy. He suspected duke Evan of being an intermediary between the rebel group and an illegal arms supplier from Italy, for the rebel group." Ernest's words made Deanda change her sitting position several times because she felt uncomfortable.

(Cited from the English Wikipedia, the Mafia is an organized crime syndicate whose main activities are protection extortion, mediating disputes between fellow criminals. The main activities of the mafia are soliciting security money, settling disputes between criminals, and the procurement and surveillance of approvals and illegal transactions. Mafia was originally the name of a confederation founded by people from Sicily in the Middle Ages for the purpose of providing illegal protection, organizing crimes in the form of illegal agreements and transactions, abritase of criminal strife, etc, law enforcement (judges).. Drug trafficking, weapons, extortion, murder, bribery of politicians, prostitution, and theft of art objects are the most common cases committed by mafia groups there).

Ah, why does the problem that the noble has to face look so complicated. The rebels, and now the mafia? Recidivist? Really makes my head hurt. Before I entered the circle of the royal family, I always thought that the palace was a collection of people of noble blood who always tried to do the best for the Gracetian people. Because that's what I learned and saw from the noble figure when I became the Gracetian crown prince. I did not expect that life in the royal family was so complicated and full of intrigue and danger. Full of efforts to drop each other and the struggle for power and also property. It is terrible and makes the heart not calm.

Deanda said inwardly as she glanced at Alvero who looked so calm, as if she showed no concern at all hearing the info from Ernest just now.

"Sweetie? Do you need to rest first?" Hearing a question from Alvero because Alvero had a glance at Danda who looked agitated, Deanda who was a little no longer focused on their conversation with Ernest immediately turned her head.

"Eh, why did Your Majesty ask me to rest?" Hearing a question back from Deanda, Alvero immediately patted Deanda's thigh softly.

"This talk seems to make you too tense. It won't be good for our baby." Alvero immediately honestly conveyed his thoughts because he saw Deanda's unsettled attitude.

"Ah, no Your Majesty. I'm fine." Deanda responded quickly to Alvero's words, because to be honest, even though she was not calm, she herself was very curious about the information conveyed by Ernest.

"Ok if you feel like everything's okay. Ernest! Continue the info you want to tell." Alvero said with his eyes back to focus on Erich's phone screen.

"Duke Evan heard the info that in the next month, they will make a sale and purchase weapons. But for the exact info of the matter of time and place, duke Evan still did not get it in detail." Hearing that, Alvero eased a smile that showed that he was confident enough to be able to solve the problem.

"Just calm down, I'll take care of that. For someone I know, there is no such thing as a mafia group that does not bend its knees before him. Especially if it's the mafia who come from Italy, which is his territory." Hearing Alvero's words, Ernest immediately revealed a relieved smile, while Deanda immediately frowned with a questioning face.

Who was the person that His Majesty Alvero meant? What could he be….

Deanda asked inwardly as she looked towards Alvero who had already ended her phone call with Ernest.

"Erich! Ask Ernest to look after the empress while we're gone. For yourself, prepare yourself. Most likely our mini mala will fly directly to Italy or Indonesia to go see someone." Alvero said as a smile fell on Alvero's lips.

"Ornado Xanderson." Alvero immediately answered Deanda's question briefly.

"Oooo..." Only one letter with a long tone was spoken by Deanda upon hearing who Alvero was referring to, according to his guess.

"Your Majesty, I will go to arrange everything." Erich who was standing in front of Alvero deactively while slightly bowing his body.

"Alright, set up with Ernest immediately properly. I'll also call Ornado for an appointment tonight." Alvero said as he grabbed his phone lying on the table in front of him.

"Buanocera. Come stai li Alvero? Bello sentire la old voce." (Good night. How are you doing there Alvero? Glad to hear your voice) The greeting from Ornado in Italian instantly made Alvero seclude a smile.

"Of course, I have good news. What about you alone? When are you going to invite us to attend your wedding reception in Italy?" Alvero asked as she grabbed Deanda's head sitting beside her, pulling her head to lean on her shoulder while waiting for her to make a phone call with her best friend.

"Just pray for it to happen as soon as possible. I also want to quickly announce to the world the true figure of my wife. You know that my wife hasn't fully recovered from the trauma she's had years ago. I must always be careful in acting near her so that my presence does not aggravate her trauma to men. I'm not gonna let him get away from me like 15 years ago." Alvero held his breath hearing what Ornado had just said, feeling sympathetic to what his best friend's wife had experienced in the past.

Bad events that ultimately make the beautiful woman from Asia has a trauma to men, including against her own husband, Ornado Xanderson. The real men have loved the woman so much since they were children and became playmates first.

"Ah, I will definitely pray the best for you. For now, are you in Italy or Indonesia?" Alvero immediately inquired about Ornado's current whereabouts, so that he could set out his next plan to meet Ornado.

"I'm in Italy right now. There's something I need to sort out here with Afro." Ornado said as he looked at one of the pictures of his wife hanging on the wall of his room in the Xanderson family mansion, with a gaze full of love and longing.
