What are you doing duke Evan? Don't tell me you still want my beauty. Don't you dare ask for such an impossible thing.
Alvero said inwardly as he stared intently at Evan. Because after all, Alvero again remembered about the request that Evan had asked him first. Permission to have a serious relationship with Deanda, to make Deanda his wife.
And with such a great love for his beauty, never would the young Gracetian king let someone harass his beloved wife.
"Tell me what you want from me. Like I said before, if I could give it to him I'd give it to him." Alvero said with fixed eyes staring intently at Evan.
Thank goodness, seeing the reaction of the noble Alvero to my words, shows that his majesty really loves you Deanda. And won't easily let Deanda get away from him.
Evan said inwardly as he smiled at Alvero.
"I...." Just now Evan was intending to convey his wish, accidentally someone hit Evan's body who swiftly turned his head in shock.
"Ah, sorry.I'm sorry Duke Evan." Alaya who had just hit the body of duke Evan for avoiding the water spill brought by one of the maids who slipped towards him immediately apologized to Evan.
"Oh, yes, Princess Alaya. Is the Princess okay?" Evan said as he observed the figure of Alaya who immediately smiled kindly towards him.
"Thank you Duke Evan, please forgive the carelessness of our palace servants. Made me hit duke Evan for trying to avoid him." Evan immediately replied to Alaya's apology with a smile, because as a princess Gracetian Alaya did not feel awkward saying sorry repeatedly, it made Evan awkward.
"Don't be too proud of the Princess." Evan's answer made Alaya smile again as she approached Alvero.
"Sister, mom and dad are looking for you and Deanda's sister." Alaya said as she pulled Alvero's arm spoiled, making Evan hold back his gelatinous smile seeing Alaya's attitude towards Alvero.
"In the meantime, tell them I still have a little business with duke Evan...."
"Eh, don't mind me Your Majesty. Next time I will deliver what gift I want. It doesn't have to be today. We can postpone it. Then I will meet the others first Your Majesty. When the time is right, I will deliver my request." Evan said as he took two steps back, slightly bowing his body before finally walking elegantly leaving Alvero, Alaya and Deanda.
Princess Alaya, it seems like you are really an attractive and fun girl. His Excellency Alvero is lucky to have a sister like you.
Evan said inwardly while holding his breath for a while, before finally poking a smile on his lips as he drew closer to Alexis, the male figure that during training amazed him and made him find a figure that could be used as a role model for him.
Alvero and Deanda were talking casually with Vincent and Larena when from the side came the sound of someone greeting her. And upon turning his head, Alvero's body immediately gasped in shock.
"Good afternoon, Your Majesty." It was not Erich's greeting that made Alvero flinch in shock, but someone sitting on a wheelchair pushed by Erich.
Ernest himself looked up and looked at Erich with a confused look and remained in a silent position, as if he did not know Alvero.
"Erich! What happened to Ernest? Why is he just silent? Does he not recognize me anymore? Did he have amnesia?" Alvero asked Erich with a worried face.
"Ernest, are you okay?" Deanda asked quietly and approached Ernest.
Deanda's hand stretched out toward Ernest, intending to hold Ernest's hand clasping each other in a position on his lap that was sitting on a wheelchair.
Seeing Deanda's movements, Ernest's swift hand immediately moved quickly pushing his wheelchair back away from Deanda.
"Please don't do that Your Majesty Empress Deanda, or Her Majesty Alvero will actually kill me." Ernest said softly while smiling towards Deanda who was immediately widened.
However, a moment later Deanda immediately laughed out loud, realizing that Ernest was just pretending not to know them.
"Thankfully Your Highness Alvero and Empress Deanda are fine." Ernest said in a sincere tone, while folding both of his lips inward to hold the haru in his heart, which made his eyes almost unable to hold back his cries.
Alvero quickly walked up to Ernest, bowed his body in front of Ernest, and immediately hugged Ernest's body.
"It's great to see you back at me, Ernest." Alvero said quietly, making Ernest close his eyes.
"I really miss Your Majesty. Thank you Your Majesty did not give up on me and continued to look for me so that I could survive." Hearing Ernest's words, Alvero took a deep breath to prevent his tears from falling, for he knew for sure, if they had been a little late when they found Ernest, his life would have been beyond help.
"Cheal fast, and we can go on an adventure as usual. Remember that I will never replace your position with someone else's. Therefore, you should immediately return to your place." Alvero said as he let go of his embrace, looking at Ernest's face with a look of relief, reciprocated by a definite nod by Ernest with a smile.
A smile that some days is quite missed by both Alvero and Deanda who are accustomed to the existence of Ernest around them.
"Your Majesty." In a loud voice Ernest answered the orders from Alvero, making the others laugh instantly.
Ah Tiana, you will definitely feel so happy to see how our child's life and also how the Adalvino family can be back in one piece. Your sacrifice that night was indeed a great sacrifice that will always be part of the history of the Gracetian kingdom. And our beautiful daughter Deanda, is currently pregnant with our future grandchild. After all this time we separated and suffered from each other, it seems like there is now no day without feeling the happiness we will go through.
Alexis said as she sipped the warm tea from the pure gold-plated ceramic cup she was holding.
