NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

LOUD PROTEST OF ELIANA

"Your Majesty!" The voice of Eliana who called out to him with a high enough tone made the cynical smile on Alvero's lips widen.

Even unknowingly Eliana's voice showing her anger made Alvero feel happy.

And finally! Right now your heart must be hot because duke Evan has already ransacked the palace and gotten rid of your loyal supporters! I wonder what you will do after this!

Alvero said in his heart with a sense of satisfaction that hearing from the way Eliana called him showed that the woman was in a cornered, angry, and confused position, not knowing what to do, he called Alvero.

"Good afternoon, Queen, can I help you?" Alvero casually answered a call from Eliana who had to try hard to adjust her breath in order to continue speaking with Alvero without showing that she was so angry with Alvero at this time.

A few minutes ago, Evan had just left the palace with a dozen people working at the palace, which after an investigation and search was conducted, it turns out that it does have a tattoo with a picture of a semi-circular sun and the head of a roaring lion.

Evan did not care, ranging from servants, bodyguards, gardeners, palace staff, all did not escape checking by Evan, so that anyone among them who was proven to have the tattoo on his body, he said, instantly secured.

And once done with the search and investigation, without asking permission and saying anything to Eliana, Evan immediately brought those who managed to be arrested with full escort left the palace.

"What have you done to His Majesty's servants and servants? Some of them are people who have worked for us in the palace for a long time. Why did His Majesty ask duke Evan to expel them from the palace, as well as restrain them? Isn't that an act that is arbitrary and unfair to them?" Eliana's words successfully make Alvero grimace, because it was amused how an Eliana suddenly behaved like a defender of justice before him.

For a while? Not fair? Well, it looks like this snake woman is unconscious and is talking about herself.

Alvero said inwardly with a small laugh, making Eliana's heart grow coarse, because it felt trivialized.

"Mother Suri is fair and not arbitrary. Did the Queen Mother already ask duke Evan, any of them were being held back by duke Evan. They're the ones who have tattoos on their bodies." Alvero stopped talking for a moment.

Alvero manages to leave Eliana speechless to express her protest and objection to the actions of duke Evan who instantly drags out everyone with tattoos on his body, the tattoo symbolizes the rebels who want to overthrow the legitimate leadership of the Adalvino family.

"Suri's mother wants me to give a press statement that the Queen Mother has deliberately hired employees who are members of the rebel group? Are not those servants, since the time of the Queen Mother served as the Gracetian empress? Or does the Queen Mother want me to announce that the Queen Mother may be involved with a rebel group that has poisoned Empress Deanda today?" Alvero just casually said something that immediately made Eliana's eyes glare with a hissing sound that was immediately heard expressing her protest because of the words Alvero just now that made her chest feel tight and hot.

"Your Majesty! Please take care of His Majesty's manners, in order to be more noticed. As a king who is a role model for many people, do not accuse indiscriminately without any evidence. Or I can sue His Majesty for such slander." This time Alvero really scrunched his forehead with a face so angry, hearing the threat from Eliana.

"What's? sue me? How dare the Queen Mother say things that could be considered rebellious intentions! I am the king of the Gracetian nation with an abslout monarchy! Every word is law! Even if I wanted to! For no reason now I can give the Queen Mother a beheading!" This time Alvero immediately spoke his words harshly and followed a loud tone, which even made Erich and Ernest's faces instantly look tense, realizing their king was now in a state of complete anger towards Eliana.

"But unfortunately, I am not such an iron-fisted and ruthless king! If there's nothing else the Queen Mother wants to tell me, we better stop this conversation. Right now I must immediately find Avitus who is in charge of the food that I and the empress eat. How could he have passed the poisonous food to our dining table and was tasted by my queen. At a time like this, he disappeared. And that means, all suspicion leads to Avitus." Alvero said without giving Eliana a chance to respond to his words.

"My queen's current condition is more important to me than anything else. I want the person responsible for today's incident to receive the punishment. I want to concentrate on finding Avitus so that I can immediately know who is behind all this. I want to know immediately who wants my wife's death." Alvero said as he clenched his hands without him noticing, as Alvero knew for sure who the brains behind Avitus' rotten plan were poisoning Deanda.

And that person was the woman who was currently talking directly to him without feeling any guilt. He acted as if he was a victim of injustice.

"Ah, it's a pity that the Queen Mother must hear my complaints that might make the Queen Mother actually feel very disturbed. In that case, please the Queen Mother continue the activities of the Queen Mother of the palace. And I'll take care of more important matters than just us arguing on the phone for what we're supposed to do. Good afternoon, Queen Mother. Have a good day today." Without waiting for an answer from Eliana, Alvero instantly hung up her phone call, leaving Eliana slightly jolted in shock.
