Twice Deanda has made mistakes when judging Alvero. The first was about his cooking ability, the second, a fairly fatal mistake, thinking that Alvero had no martial skills so he easily accepted Alvero's challenge to compete and hoped he could easily defeat the then crown prince Gracetian. But it turns out that Deanda had to willingly admit that her husband did have martial skills above her ability. In addition to the passage of time, with so many events already taking place between the two of them, Deanda knew Alvero was not a spoiled crown prince who could only rely on the bodyguards to protect him.
Recalling her memories of the past with Alvero that finally brought her to this day, where she is now Alvero's wife, made Deanda unconsciously return to reveal an amused smile on her face, he realized his stupidity in the past. But on the other hand, because of her stupidity she felt so lucky to be the woman who was finally chosen by Alvero as the port of her heart.
"Hey! What makes you smile like that? You're remembering something funny?" Deanda was a little surprised to hear a question from Alvero who had noticed all the actions of his wife while in the kitchen.
"Ah, no, just remembered something that had happened in the past." Alvero only smiled hearing Deanda trying to convolutely not to tell her what she had just thought.
"About what? Wh who? Your lover in the past?" Alvero asked as his left hand plucked a piece of walnut cookies that were in a jar lined up neatly beside him, containing a variety of cookies.
"Ist.... Where's the ex-lover from? To this day I have never even had a boyfriend. There is precisely without ever feeling what it's like to date and have a lover suddenly I have a husband." Deanda said while sneering her lips which instantly made Alvero chuckle.
Deanda's words made Alvero finally come to remember about the various events that he had gone through with Deanda. How their meeting happened back then, Ernest's actions in the town square of Tavisha are deliberately ordered by Alvero, so that Deanda is stuck with his idea to marry the girl so that her position as crown prince can be defended, he said, until how every action and attitude Deanda more and more days makes him fall in love with a beautiful girl who he can finally force to marry him.
"Ah, it makes no difference to me. I like that we get married. Can do anything both." Alvero said as he blinked one eye, making Deanda's face turn red again.
"You know sweety. if many people say people always behave sweet when they are still dating and turn cooler after marriage. I want until we get old, our marriage is just like someone who is dating. I want us to always miss each other, love each other, pamper each other. Don't let our relationship get cold like people say." Alvero said as he grabbed the cup containing the warm tea that Deanda had just thrust towards him.
“I want our marriage to always be friendly and sweet, just like when other people are dating. For me, our marriage should always be warm, not like much is happening in this world. After marriage the love between two lovers fades. Even after marriage, they should stay like they are dating. Do you agree with my opinion?” Finished saying his words, Alvero drank his wife's warm tea with a smile.
Hearing Alvero's words, Deanda only smiled faintly while nodding her head in agreement with Alvero's statement just now.
“Let's make our wedding like two people who are dating.” Alvero again said as he stared affectionately at Deanda.
There are not many things that Deanda wants about the future of their marriage. He just wants Alvero to always be loyal and love him. There is always trust between the two of them. For Deanda it was more than enough, because he realized the perfect figure Alvero, certainly will get more temptations both related to work and women. Trouble will come near him. Especially in the past, Vincent who used to be known to love Larena Hilmar had also fallen into women's problems.
Their conversation follows Alvero's past, when the young king was crown prince and spent time in Italy studying, as well as how he has made a friendship with Ornado Xanderson until now. A very close friendship, even the proximity of Ornado Xanderson to Alvero, can be said not much different from the proximity of Alvero with Enzo.
Deanda had just intended to spill the spaghetti she had made onto the two dishes she had prepared, but Alvero's hand on her wrist made Deanda stop her movement.
"Pour it as one on that plate. We ate both on that plate." Alvero said as she pressed her lips forward as if intending to give Deanda a long-distance kiss, making Deanda smile while shaking her head at her husband's ridiculous actions.
"Should it?" Deanda asked briefly with a teasing smile towards Alvero.
"Even we've shared a lot and you're still asking this small question? We've shared a bed, shared a blanket, shared a kiss, even shared..."
"Already, stop. As your request." Deanda quickly cut off the words Alvero felt had led back to a more intimate conversation, who inevitably until now even still makes his face red and his chest churned when remembering how soft and messy Alvero treated him while in bed.
"I'm just afraid you're not used to this way of eating. Usually you always look neat and adhere to all the dining procedures in the palace." Hearing Deanda's words, Alvero immediately laughed.
"What's wrong once in a while we don't do something about the standard ordinances that apply in the palace? That's not a sin. Sometimes I also want to live a normal life like ordinary people in general. And that's all I can do when I'm alone with you or when I'm Alvi." Alvero said as he stared at Deanda's hand, who finally put the results of his cooking in one plate as requested by Alvero before, making a satisfied smile on Alvero's lips.
"Mmmmm..it smells good. You're the best at sweet cooking." Alvero said as he grabbed the fork and started twirling the fork between the spaghetti on his plate.
Hearing Alvero's praise of his cooking even before Alvero tasted it, Deanda could only smile amusedly. After putting her used cooking container into the sink, Deanda immediately took a sitting position right in front of Alvero, preparing to eat with her husband from the same plate.
As soon as Alvero finished twirling his fork to the brim with spaghetti, Alvero's hand holding the fork immediately stretched out towards Deanda's mouth which looked at Alvero in a hesitant manner, but in the end Deanda received a bribe from Alvero, making Alavero smile happily and back twirling the fork. And for the second time Alvero pointed the fork at his own mouth.
Deanda had just moved her right hand to the side to reach for another fork for her, but Alvero quickly grabbed Deanda's right hand and clasped her tightly, next to the plate filled with spaghetti while stroking it gently with the thumb of his left hand that was holding Deanda's hand.
And without saying anything Alvero again thrust the fork that had been re-wrapped by the spaghetti once again towards the mouth of Deanda who could only take a bribe from her husband and stopped her intention to take another fork because looking at Alvero's actions shows this afternoon Alvero was not just wanting to eat in one plate with Deanda, even more so, Alvero wants him to serve and spoil Deanda by feeding Deanda their lunch.
