“Your Highness, I beg for forgiveness to his Highness Alvero who plans to expel princess Desya from the palace.” Hearing the words of Eliana, on the other side came the sound of breath from Vincent.
“Eliana... I have heard what Desya has done to Deanda this morning from duke Evan as the highest responsibility holder of royal security. In this case we as parents must admit our mistakes have been wrong in educating Desya. We didn't educate him so well that he dared to plan something bad for Deanda. What people say if we as a royal family can not be role models.” Vincent said in a disappointed tone.
“I know Your Majesty. But the punishment Desya... was expelled out of the palace was a very severe punishment for Her Majesty.” Eliana insisted that Vincent agree with her thoughts.
“It looks like you should thank king Alvero for legally, even Desya's status as a princess could be revoked if she did something that ruined her good name or endangered the life of the royal family. Moreover, what Desya wanted to harm was a Gracetian.” empress
“But Her Majesty..” Eliana said in a pleading tone, making those present there slightly turn their faces away, otherwise it would be considered impolite to see the condition of Eliana who was pleading with Vincent. They are tabu despite hearing to pretend not to listen, despite seeing to pretend not to look to show their respect, both to Eliana and Vincent.
“Then... what do you want from me?” Eliana slightly breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she heard Vincent ask her what she wanted, as if it was an offer that gave her new hope about her worries towards Desya.
“I beg your Excellency Vincent to request that His Holiness Alvero grant leniency for daughter Desya.” The sound of breathing again sounded from across there as Eliana conveyed her wish to Vincent.
“Your request..you know it is impossible for me to do for you and Desya. King Alvero is now the legitimate Gracetian king. Whatever decision he has made, I'm sure it's already under careful consideration. I will not intervene in the decision of King Alvero. As king, king Alvero had prerogatives that no one could deny or deny. Try to respect and accept the decision of king Alvero, even though his status is our son and his age is younger than ours, but his position now is the Gracetian king that we must respect and obey.” Vincent's words made Desya's head bow again, while Eliana clenched her hand tightly without being able to do anything else.
(intervention is the interference of both parties who are at odds with an opinion that clearly has nothing to do with it).
“Eliana... are you still there?” The question from Vincent jolted Eliana a little.
“Ya Your Majesty... I'm still here.”.
“I hope you will listen to what I just said. It was a good thing for Desya to learn about life outside the palace, in order to make her mature. If king Alvero can make it out of the palace, you know easily he can also bring it back into the palace. Just wait for the time when Desya can already prove she has learned and changed.” Hearing Vincent's lengthy explanation, Eliana held her breath, realizing that this time she could no longer do anything about Desya's problems.
“Ok, I've had the phone call first, later tonight I'll call again.” Alvero immediately took back his phone, saying to Vincent as soon as Eliana agreed to Vincent's words.
Alvero wanted permission to disconnect his phone call after switching off speaker mode.
“Alvero. Don't follow in the footsteps of your father who often can't be assertive. Papa knows you'll do all you can for Gracetian. Papa will always support whatever decision you make son. Continue the meeting, if you are free, you can contact papa.” Hearing Vincent's words before he disconnected the phone made Alvero smile.
It's a little late, but Alvero is really grateful that when Vincent has started to decline in health, and Alvero himself is getting busy, he can only feel the real father and son relationship between him and Vincent. Deanda, who sat next to Alvero, inevitably could hear the conversation between Vincent and Alvero, making Deanda feel happy how Vincent gave full support to Alvero, and it looks like their relationship has improved after Vincent was admitted to the hospital, and for some time Alvero spent with Vincent in the hospital.
“Alright, you have heard my decision about princess Desya. From today please princess Desya pack up, because at the latest tomorrow morning princess Desya will leave the palace. We end our meeting today.” Hearing the words of Alvero who immediately stood up after saying that, Desya could only shake her body on the back of the chair with a face of despair, while Eliana who was still standing in her place was silent with her hands tightly clenched.
“Ah, yes, who requested that the punishment of princess Desya is simply to be expelled from the palace without revoking her daughter's title is consort Deanda. If Queen Eliana and princess Desya would like to thank you, please thank your kindly consort Deanda. But of course I can't force someone to thank you.” Before leaving the place, Alvero suddenly turned his back, saying while looking at Desya and Eliana in turn.
Alvero's words successfully made Eliana buy her eyes, while Desya looked at Alvero with a blank look. Enzo who saw it immediately approached Desya.
“If you want to get a chance to return to the palace by showing your good intentions to try to change, thank consort Deanda, and apologize to her. Have you not even apologized to the empress to show your remorse and guilt?” Hearing Enzo's words, Desya squeezed tightly into the dress she was wearing on her thigh.
Desya knew today that Alvero was really intent on destroying her pride to avenge her actions to Deanda. And this time Desya no longer had any reason to reject Enzo's advice which was one hundred percent correct. If he continues to show stubbornness, until forever he will no longer have the opportunity to be able to return to the palace.
Deanda Federer's! This time I'll go! But when I get the chance, I'll destroy you myself! Let's just see! Who will laugh the last as the winner! And you're brother Alvero! I'll make you beg me! Sticking at my feet! And I was willing to do whatever it took for my hope to be achieved!
Desya shouted inwardly as she got up from her seat, walking closer towards Deanda and Alvero. Desya slowed down her footsteps while waiting for the others in the room to leave her place.
