NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

THE RETURN OF LARENA HILMAR

The startled attitude of Eliana made everyone present at the place turn their heads immediately, and set their eyes towards the eyes of Eliana were fixed.

And as experienced by Eliana, the presence of two beautiful women who had just stepped through the main door of the room made everyone who was buying his eyes, he said, with some people unintentionally leaving their mouths wide open, showing just how much those present also felt so shocked by the presence of the two women.

One of the beautiful women, clearly well known to all the people of Gracetian, was a woman who was supposed to be lying in bed waiting for death because she had been poisoned by Avitus, Gracetian consort, Deanda Federer.

While the beautiful woman who was walking right beside Deanda, was the woman who should have died a dozen years ago due to a great fire in her residence. And some people who had known of Larena's whereabouts while still in Gracetian at that time, would have recognized her, because after a dozen years, the beautiful face of Alvero's birth mother did not change much.

While some of the members of the media who are still young can only guess who is actually a beautiful woman who is now walking with graceful steps beside Deanda.

“Isn't that Deanda's consort?”

“True, it's consort Deanda.”

“Not the latest news from the palace says that consort Deanda is lying sick due to poisoning?”

“Thank God it turns out that consort Deanda is fine.”

“Have I guessed the news of Alvero's glorious affair with an unknown woman it must have been just bird news.”

“Who would have dared to slander a Gracetian king like that? He deserves a life sentence. Dare to slander the noble Alvero.”

“Agree once! Slandering the noble Alvero was akin to humiliating a Gracetian king. Which means, also humiliating the people of Gracetian.”

“Then…. Who's the beautiful woman next to Deanda's consort?”

“That's not…. Empress Larena Hilmar? Ah, I mean, larena Hilmar's mother?”

“Wah…. Does this mean that Larena Hilmar's mother is still alive?”

“Hah... if Larena's queen mother is still alive. doesn't that mean that Queen Elizabeth will no longer be entitled to the title of Gracetian's queen mother?”

“True. I heard, until the end, that noble Vincent insisted on not divorcing the consort Larena at that time.”

Various hot conversations immediately sounded so crowded, Eliana who was in front there, her hands clenched on the table with a face so red.

The private spokesperson from Eliana could only hold the microphone in her hand without being able to say a word, so when Ernest suddenly grabbed the microphone from her hand, even the spokesperson did not notice. Stay in his position and expression of shock.

Isn't that.. De.. Deanda and La... Larena Hilmar? How could Deanda who consumed arsenic-containing food be able to perform with fresh fit in this place? And also... with La... Larena Hilmar? Larena who should have died a dozen years ago? Why…? How about….?

Eliana said inwardly with her still incredulous eyes looking at the two female figures that she really did not expect her presence in this place.

What the hell is going on? How could? That woman is still alive and present in this place? Is he an artist that Alvero deliberately hired? But, it feels impossible! What am I supposed to do now? Why is everything like this?

Eliana again said in her heart with her eyes and face looking so panicked, cold sweat began to wet Eliana's forehead and neck, without her being able to prevent it anymore.

“Welcome to Queen Mother Larena.” As soon as Larena approached towards the long table where Alvero and Alaya were standing in front, with Eliana who was also standing in such a nervous and misbehaved manner.

While Alvero immediately greeted Larena and stretched one of his hands to Larena's shoulder.

Alvero's hands gently grabbed Larena's body, hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks in turn, leaving Larena barely able to control her emotions and allowing her tears to burst out soaking her cheeks.

“I really miss you Ma.” While stroking Larena's back, Alvero whispered softly into Larena's ears who painstakingly swallowed her saliva, hearing the soft voice of her eldest son whom she had so longed for, for so many years, they often decorate their dreams at night.

After a few days at Gracetian, Larena has not met Alvero at all. Once Larena comes to Gracetian, Alaya and Alvero are just about to set a time to let Alvero meet Larena.

But what Eliana does makes all of Alvero and Alaya's plans change suddenly, so now they have to meet in a slightly coercive condition and not allow them to have enough time together in order to let go of each other in a long time.

For a while, the two of them had to be content with hugging each other at a glance and hoping to immediately let go of their deeper yearning after all the problems caused by Eliana could be solved today.

But for now, Larena knew she had to be able to control herself and her emotions, at first glance she glanced at Alaya who instantly nodded her head while smiling towards Larena, providing moral support so that Larena can do well what they have planned.

Larena deliberately did not want to set her eyes on Eliana for a second, because she herself knew the limits on her. He was afraid that Eliana's figure would affect his emotions and courage to appear and give an explanation to the public about what had happened during this time.

“Good afternoon everyone, next we will listen to the explanation of the queen mother Larena Hilmar about everything, questions about the daughter of Alaya Adalvino and also the relationship between the noble Alvero with the daughter of Alaya Adalvino.” Ernest said before finally giving the microphone he held to Larena while allowing Larena to sit on the chair that had just been prepared by one of the members of the royal exclusive guard.

“Thanks Mr. Ernest.” With a soft-sounding voice, Larena said as she grabbed her microphone and sat down on the chair proffered for her.

Larena seemed to ignore Eliana who remained standing with a misbehavior and face so pale, had not been able to control herself because she was so shocked by the presence of Deanda, especially the presence of Larena on her mind, should have died a dozen years ago.
