"Do you need my noble help?" While walking after Alvero, Deanda asked with her serious face.
At first glance Alvero could see from the corner of his eyes, that Evan was staring at Deanda who was walking beside him, leaving a sigh from Evan.
Who would be willing to leave you here and give duke Evan a chance to admire your beautiful figure. If I could, for a second I wouldn't let another man look at you with his dazzling gaze or worry. I'm enough to be the only guy who's fascinated by you, and worried about you. Even protecting you. Enough is just me.
Alvero said inwardly with a slightly unsettled feeling.
"Ah, yes, since we've agreed to pretend you were poisoned, it's best that now you rest in the room while waiting for the doctor called by Ernest to come here." Alvero immediately answers Deanda's question so that the woman does not suspect that she is currently so jealous of Evan, or Deanda will make fun of him for his acute jealous nature which does not diminish in the slightest even though Deanda is already his, even being pregnant with the fruit of their love.
“You yourself must be surprised by this event. Come to the room so you can rest soon.” Alvero said as he slowly pulled Deanda's wrist, so that it would be a little faster to leave Evan whose corner of his eye was still staring at Deanda's departure.
"Ok, I also have to calm down a little because of the events just now." Deanda said as she followed Alvero's steps towards the room.
As soon as he got to the door, Deanda opened the door, immediately, and quickly approached the sofa in their room and sat with their backs leaning against the handrails of the sofa while raising their legs there and slipping their legs.
Deanda's face looks a little pale with eyes look so tired, because until now the events just now still shadowed in Deanda's mind.
"Are you okay, sweety?" With a slightly worried face, Alvero knelt down on one knee beside the sofa Deanda was using to rest.
"Mmmm. I'm actually okay, it's just that I feel a little shocked. All my life, I've never experienced anything like today. If only the fight, I often experience it. And even the story of how the people at Goldie Tavisha tell of cases of murder, treason, kidnapping, or torture. I just just heard the story without ever facing it head on, not quite like today." Deanda said as she stroked her stomach while taking a deep breath.
Deanda's actions made the worry on Alvero's face not less, but rather grew worried about seeing Deanda holding her stomach, where there was their baby candidate, who was there, who may also experience the effects of Avitus' actions indirectly.
From what Alvero has learned since she found out Deanda was pregnant with their child. Alvero diligently learned many things about the condition of pregnant women and also the development of the fetus in the stomach.
So Alvero knows how emotionally, the baby in the stomach is closely connected to the emotional state of the mother. Without being prevented, when the mother feels sad, happy, shocked, afraid, the baby in the womb can also feel those emotions.
"What is the condition of our baby today sweety? Is she okay?” Hearing Alvero's words as well as a gentle touch on his stomach, made Deanda smile as her hand stroked the back of Alvero who was kneeling at the side.
“We are both fine my Al. Don'worry. Our baby is not a weak baby either. Because he has a great and strong papa like you.” Deanda answered Alvero's question quickly, making Alvero smile with a heart of relief and flowery because of Deanda's praise to him.
“I'm really glad you two are okay. A traitor like Avitus! How dare he plan to harm you and our baby.” Alvero said while slightly holding his breath.
The fear and worry that Deanda and the baby in her womb will have problems, really makes Alvero feel unsettled and angry.
“But my Al. I'm really curious. How did you know that today Avitus poisoned the cassoulet? How did you know that Avitus was Eliana's man?” Alvero smiled cynically at Deanda's words.
“For a long time I was always suspicious of Avitus, because accidentally several times I saw his suspicious body movements when meeting the snake woman. Moreover, several times I discovered that there was a secret leaked, and I always observed, information leaks always occur if previously in the conversation involving Avitus. Or Avitus is near me.” Alvero said while remembering, how some events had happened, Alvero several times lost quickly in action.
“My suspicion of Avitus grew even greater after the killing of the witness we were supposed to meet in the city of Croyen. Our planned departure to Croyen and the witness of the alleged abuse to my father Alexis, as well as to my father Eric and Ernest, I clearly remember that Avitus was in the same room with us.” Alvero said while taking a deep breath.
“And you know for yourself that upon our arrival in Croyen, that witness has been killed. And it didn't last long from the moment we got there. Because it was without the knowledge of others, and, I gave special orders to Alea to watch the movements of Avitus who often went to the palace kitchen to give directions as well as check the raw materials for the cuisine for the royal family. This time I don't want to miss the steps like before. Therefore, no matter how small Avitus moves in the palace, I ask Alea to report it to me immediately.” Alvero said as he stood up from his knees, then sat down on the edge of the sofa, right beside Deanda's body which had shifted his berserk position.
“And when I did the drama with Alaya, I even accidentally chose the location of Avitus' office to speed up the information to Eliana. I was sure that time Eliana laughed happily thinking that her plan with Alaya to frame me went smoothly.” Deanda slightly held her breath as she looked towards Alvero in silence.
“For a woman as ambitious and greedy as Eliana who never knew what true love was, and how to sacrifice for a loved one. He would think that everyone in this world was the same. It can be controlled by money and power. Money and power are the gods of his life. And Avitus, is a class of people like Eliana.” Alvero told me about Avitus.
“Today Alea said, before leaving the palace, Avitus had met in person, secretly with the waiter who had a tattoo on his back which is how long this is under our supervision. After Avitus' departure, the servant seemed to be always near the cassoulet to be presented to you. Therefore without informing you, I ask in front of us Avitus again to check our lunch menu.” Alvero closed his explanation by taking a deep breath.
