NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

END OF EVERYTHING (2)

The photo of Alvero in the newspaper piece reminds the homeless girl of her good and happy times as a princess while she was still living in the Gracetian palace.

The times where Alvero still shows his affection as a brother by giving attention in the form of speeches and gifts on every birthday or important days in his life, such as graduation and others.

Although there was never physical closeness, the girl knew that Alvero always treated her well like a sister to her sister.

"Hey! Give me back my handsome king!" The girl who had found the piece of paper said as she grabbed the piece of paper violently as she kicked the leg of the crying girl.

"Hey! Why are you crying looking at the photo of the Gracetian king? Are you the ex-lover of the young king?" With a mocking grin, the girl immediately made fun of the crying girl.

Brother Alvero....

Desya, the girl who was kicked earlier said inwardly as she lowered her face without taking care of the ridicule of the fellow vagabonds in that place.

"Don't dream! Do you not know how beautiful the queen of the Gacetian king is? How could that handsome king possibly glance at a seedy woman like you!"

"True, especially from the news that is circulating, the Gracetian empress is pregnant right now."

"Don't be too tall to dream!"

More and more ridicule was heard, making a slow move Desya moved, away from the crowd of tramps while dragging her suitcase bag, the only good item she still had today.

"Is there anything else you might want to eat today?" Erich shook his head quickly, making Cleosa smile while thrusting the steak he had already ordered to Erich.

As soon as their dinner was over without a lot of words spoken by Erich during their dinner, Cleosa deliberately invited Erich to take a walk to the mall.

As long as they walked together casually, Erich seemed to stare straight ahead as he occasionally turned his head if Cleosa called him, or said something to ask for his opinion, beyond that, Erich would keep walking with his eyes looking forward in a watchful manner, like a bodyguard on duty.

The two of them continued to go hand in hand at a considerable distance, making the person who saw them both think that they were two hostile people, he said, although in reality Cleosa's smile was always visible while walking beside Erich.

"Eh, Erich, do you know that long queue? They sell really good burgers. Can I queue there? Do you want that burger?" Cleosa said as her hands pointed towards the bustling-looking burger shop and dozens of people queued there.

"For you." Erich said softly, making Cleosa frown, but a moment later she smiled.

Cleosa said inwardly as she looked at Erich's expressionless face.

"Ok, I'll be in line. You wait a minute." As soon as Erich nodded, Cleosa immediately rushed to queue, with Erich's eyes watching Cleosa in silence.

Cleosa was already almost in second place before the person in front of her ordered, when it appeared a man with his lover was sabotaging Cleosa's position, in fact, the man slightly bumped into Cleosa's body so that he was pushed to the side and almost fell down.

As soon as Cleosa's body was pushed, with a swift movement, Erich's two hands immediately restrained Cleosa's body that was about to fall.

"Sir, get it right. Do not act shamefully in front of your lover, and in front of my lover. Or do you want me to call security now?" With a sharp eye, Erich said as one of his hands coiled to Cleosa's shoulder and hugged her tightly, indicating that Cleosa was her lover, making Cleosa look at Erich's handsome face and feel disbelief in how Erich can be that seprotective to her.

That attitude to Cleosa showed that Erich cared so much and wanted to protect her. Also without hesitation stated to everyone that Cleosa was her lover.

The man who initially wanted to challenge Erich immediately canceled his intention once he saw Erich's eyes that looked so intimidating and also from Erich's athletic figure, making the guts of the man quite shriveled.

After the man left, Erich's hand moved tightly grasping Cleosa's hand.

"From now on, if you come out, you should let me hold your hand. So you don't fall." Hearing Erich's words, Cleosa could only nod her head with a smile.

It's not me who won't, but you who never hold my hand. As a man, you should take the initiative first.

Cleosa said in her heart that her chest was beating so hard because the grip of Erich's hand was really warm and also made her feel like she was being stung by electricity from the hand that continued to spread throughout her body.

"Do you want to accompany me to watch? I bought this burger and pop corn as a watchmate." After Cleosa got her burger and they walked back, Cleosa immediately conveyed her desire to watch

"No." Erich answered Cleosa's request briefly, leaving Cleosa speechless and trying to keep smiling at Erich's response.

"There is a place you want to visit in this mall?" Without answering Cleosa's question, Erich, who was still holding Cleosa's hand without letting go for a second at the burger shop, took Cleosa to one of the sections of the mall that showed off the ranks of luxury clothing stores and boutiques.

"German...." Cleosa's eyes immediately bought with a face so shocked, it even unconsciously made her release the burger and pop corn that was in her hands so that it fell apart on the mall floor.

"I want to bring you here." Erich said softly as he looked towards Cleosa who was still standing silently glued in front of one of the boutiques where Erich wanted to take her.

Not because the boutique was a luxury clothing boutique that made Cleosa silently stare until it ran out of words. But the boutique is one of the largest and most luxurious boutiques in the city of Tavisha that specifically provides wedding dresses.
