For Avitus the most important thing today is to save his wife and child, while for himself, he could only afford to accept punishment that was worth his evil deeds.
"This time if you dare to betray again or give false statements. I will not hesitate to give you a penalty. And also, your wife's child I will expel from the Gracetian state as a rebel family, and all the assets you have I will convert into state property, so that they'll also be bums out there." The word threat from Alvero was enough to make Avitus swallow his saliva with so much difficulty.
Ever since Avitus devoted himself to Vincent, and Alvero was still the crown prince, Avitus knew clearly how an Alvero would always keep what he said, including the threat he made from his lips to others.
"Thank you for Your Grace." Avitus hurriedly thanked him, hoping that the young king would not retract his words to give him a chance to pay for what he had done, in exchange for the safety of his son and wife.
"Now tell me! What do you mean by saying that we've been thinking wrongly about the Tavisha bunker that the murdered witness spoke of." Alvero said as he took a seat back in the seat that was in front of Avitus.
"Yes Your Majesty. The bunker referred to by the witness is a bunker located in the Tavisha forest, not a bunker that is currently still active and well cared for. Dozens of years ago there was an experimental program for the manufacture of underground bunkers. But the bunker was declared a failure at the time of the test. At that time it was proven that the bunker was still less able to withstand the vibrations or explosions or radiation from nuclear bombs. Eventually the bunker was left there until it became a forest used as a nature reserve." Avitus stopped his speech while reshaping his breathing.
(The nature reserve is a natural reserve area that because of its natural conditions has a peculiarity of plants, animals, and ecosystems or certain ecosystems that need to be protected and their development takes place naturally).
"But as Your Majesty knows, more than 10 years ago, suddenly the Tavisha city reserve was moved to another place, so the forest became wild, he said, a place no longer touched by man. Queen Mother Eliana deliberately moved the nature reserve on the grounds of wanting to expand the nature reserve area. In fact, he was targeting the former Tavisha bunker that failed to conduct secret training of members of the rebel group. The Queen mother had purposely repaired the underground bunker secretly." Avitus' explanation was enough to make Alvero frown, not expecting that Eliana had originally intended to overthrow the legitimate Gracetian government, the one that has survived for centuries is generously given to the oldest prince Adalvino in the family of the previous king.
"If only then had His Majesty not been ordained king, the rebel group would have been merely a reserve player to overthrow the legitimate government. Precisely the queen mother can get a lot of popular sympathy if the power struggle is carried out in a way that does not involve rebellion. At that time the queen mother still hoped the throne fell to prince Dion because until approaching the age of 27 years His Majesty has not seen any signs of getting married. However, as the queen mother saw the fact that prince Dion was becoming increasingly difficult to become king, after the ordination, the queen mother immediately ramped up the training of the rebel group members, preparing to revolt." Avitus again gave a sufficient explanation to make Alvero and Erich and Ernest take a deep breath.
"For many years, the queen mother hid the presence of the troops prepared for the revolt in the Tavisha bunker in the middle of the forest. There people are trained to fight well, also instilled doctrines and brainwashed, about how the present government should be overthrown. Whenever there is a problem or the queen mother wants to eliminate someone, the people from the group who used to train in the Tavisha bunker that will be an extension of the queen mother. They are people who are already professionals in the job of taking someone's life and eliminating traces, too...."
(Doctrine is a teaching on a political and religious school and the establishment of a group of scientists, religious, state systematization, especially in the preparation of state policy. In short, doctrine is a teaching that encourages something like mobilizing it.
While brainwashing, in psychology, brainwashing or thought reform, is included in the psychology of social influence or social influence. Social influence is the way in which a person can change the attitudes, beliefs, and habits of others. Brainwashing is a form of social influence to cause changes in the way a person thinks, without the person's consent. Because brainwashing is such a highly invasive way of affecting, it requires a condition in which subjects are tightly isolated and made to rely heavily on brainwashing agents.
The brainwashing agent must also have complete control over the target. Things like sleeping patterns, eating, toilet use, and other basic human needs of the brainwashing subject are made highly dependent on brainwashing agents. In the process, brainwashing agents systematically destroy the identity of the subject until at the point that the identity is lost. The agent then replaces it with a new identity that has attitudes, past behaviors, beliefs that are appropriate to the environment that the brainwashing subject has).
"Wait first! Then what was the incident of the assassination plot to his highness Vincent at that time also using one of the members of the group?" Hearing a question from Ernest, Avitus immediately nodded his head.
"But why was there a woman who came to Goldie Tavisha and asked for help from a murderer?" Avitus smiled with a face that looked sliced at Ernest's next question.
"At that time Queen Elizabeth wanted to identify the residents of Goldie Tavisha. He wants to make sure that Goldie Tavisha is really a supporter of the Adalvino family or not. The queen mother intentionally did so, pretending to ask Goldie Tavisha for help to check the truth." Avitus said as he took a deep breath, with blank eyes, filled with a sense of regret.
And unfortunately, Avitus knew very well that his regret this time was indeed too late for him.
