“Yang Mulia's…. Give me one more chance, and Your Majesty will not regret saving my family. I will exchange the safety of my family for info that could make His Majesty could immediately destroy the queen mother.” Avitus again offers an exchange between the safety of his wife's son and the important info he has.
“You're starting to dare bargain with me?” With a tone of voice heard so emotion Alvero said as he turned back his body, facing towards Avitus.
“Puni me Your Majesty. Forgive me…. I wouldn't dare to do that. I just want to save my wife and innocent child.” Alvero smiled cynically at the words of Avitus who wanted to cry loudly considering how the condition of his son and wife is currently in danger.
“Unfortunately Empress Deanda has done what wrong to you! Your wife and son are innocent. Their only fault is being the wife and child of a traitor like you! How pathetic!” Alvero said in a loud voice.
“Really His Majesty! It's all my fault! Please save my wife and children…. And I will give you info about something important to Your Majesty. Info about the bunker Tavisha.” Hearing the words of Avitus, not only Alvero, Erich and Ernest who were in the room immediately bought his eyes.
“What did you say? Don't mess with what you just said!” Alvero asked in a voice that sounded quite high, wanting to make sure that he had just not misheard what Avitus had just said.
Avitus' words about the Tavisha bunker inevitably make Alvero must withstand his emotions against Avitus.
“I'm not kidding Your Majesty. I know for some time this Your Majesty is looking for the whereabouts of the Tavisha bunker in connection with the info mentioned by eyewitnesses in the city of Croyen before his death.” Avitus said with a face full of hope Alvero will want to exchange the safety of his wife and child with information about the Tavisha bunker.
“What is the importance of the bunker to me? Why would I exchange that info for the lives of your wife and son? Is that a reasonable exchange price?” Alvero said as he raised one corner of his lips forming a disdainful smile.
Alvero deliberately did that so that Avitus did not use it if he knew that all this time he and his team had been trying hard to find something about the suspicious Tavisha bunker, but had not yet obtained results at all.
“What's in that bunker, can make His Majesty Alvero get rid of the queen mother without her being able to return to the palace, even to Gracetian, for any reason. Because in the Tavisha bunker that I will mention to Her Majesty, it is a place where there is real evidence of Eliana's mother's plot of rebellion against the legitimate government.” Inevitably, Alvero tried to stare at Avitus with a calm look, not showing that at this time he was actually so curious to know the detailed info about the Tavisha bunker, which he was in, and what great secret is there.
Alvero was so curious, why for so long and has been investigating repeatedly, the results were still nothing he could find from the Tavisha bunker.
"Is it really that important that the info about the Tavisha bunker you're offering me in exchange for the lives of your son and wife?" Avitus immediately looked towards Alvero with a pleading gaze with a nod of his head.
"I swear to you, Your Majesty. There's a place where the queen mother trains rebel groups to fight." Alvero immediately scrunched his forehead as soon as he heard the words from Avitus.
"Basic liar!" Alvero shouted loudly towards Avitus, making Avitus' body tremble slightly and gasped in shock at how Alvero shouted loudly while glaring sharply at him with an aura of fury so intense.
"Yes... Which... Your honor, I really don't lie." Avitus said in a soft voice, wondering why Alvero accused him of lying about the Tavisha bunker.
"No Mr. Ernest. It's not that I want to patronize and belittle your hard work, but the Tavisha bunker you're investigating must be a different bunker than the one used by Eliana's mother-in-law." Hearing Avitus' words, both Ernest and Erich immediately walked closer to Avitus, while Alvero simply observed them from afar, choosing to remain silent in his place.
"What do you mean, Mr. Avitus?" Ernest asked while standing right before Avitus, indicating he was so curious about what Avitus had said earlier.
"The Tavisha bunker mentioned by the eyewitness, is not a bunker that the kingdom actually owns today." Avitus said as his eyes glanced towards Alvero who was still standing in his place in a careless manner.
"Then say it clearly. Where is the Tavisha bunker that the witness referred to." Impatiently, Erich said as he took a deep breath.
Had Alvero allowed it, for Erich, it would have been very desirable that he would have finished off Avitus this very moment because he was so upset that he saw Avitus' betrayal, and now the man was shamelessly trying to negotiate with Alvero.
For Erich, Avitus's cowardice and selfishness really made him angry.
"Your Majesty, please save my wife and child. I will inform the details of the location and plan of the security system at the location of the Tavisha bunker to His Majesty. I beg Your Majesty." Without answering Erich's question, Avitus said with his eyes begging Alvero.
"Your Majesty! Please do not listen to this traitor!" Erich thanks in a high tone as his feet prepare to kick towards Avitus's feet.
"Erich, Ernest! Let us first listen to Avitus. I also wonder if the words of a traitor like him can still be trusted." Alvero said as he walked closer towards Avitus with elegant steps and his handsome face that looked so dignified.
Seeing Alvero approaching, both Erich and Ernest immediately retreated, so that their bodies would not cover Avitus' body from Alvero's eyes.
"Ter..thank you, Your Majesty...." Avitus said as he tried to bend his bound body before Alvero.
"I don't want to promise you anything Avitus! But just so you know, that I'm not the kind of cruel woman you've been following and believing in all this time. I'll give you one chance." Hearing Alvero's words, Avitus could only lower his head without daring to make any objections.
