Hearing what Enzo said, Alvero immediately pulled Enzo's hand to get closer to him, then drag Enzo a little away from Deanda and the others so that their next conversation is not heard by the others.
"What did you mean just now?" Hearing Alvero's question whispered in a soft voice to Enzo, Enzo scrunched his forehead with a look of astonishment.
"Hey, don't tell me you really don't understand what I just said." Hearing Enzo's words, Alvero could only shake his head slowly with an innocent face because he did not understand the direction of Enzo's conversation earlier.
"Wahhh... You don't understand? Should I teach you a private lesson about "that"? But isn't this condition reversed? You should have been married to teach me something like that." Enzo again whispered while looking at Deanda, Ernest and Alea who were seen chatting the three while waiting for the two descendants of Adalvino who were talking seriously with each other whispering.
Enzo really wanted to make sure that the three of them could not hear his conversation with Alvero.
"Not only your wife, you will also have trouble walking if you do too much of such a thing. Ah, but forget it. With your age right now exactly where your stamina peak is probably not going to be a problem. You won't feel tired. Just pay attention to your food do not let you lack nutrition, or your knees will be problematic. He he - he." Finally Enzo again whispered with an amused smile, not expecting it turns out behind the arrogant and possessive attitude of Alvero towards his wife, Alvero is a man who is so innocent.
Realizing that Enzo could barely hold back his laughter, but this time he completely refrained himself from laughing so as not to offend Alvero or feel slighted. Although Alvero is a man, let alone his position as king, he must have a high enough ego where he does not want to look weak or incapable, he said, and Enzo knows for sure he has to keep Alvero's ego up, too.
"Why can it happen like that? What does this have to do with walking?" Alvero innocently asked again, making Enzo click his lips.
"With time you will understand by yourself. Experience will make you understand well what I said." Enzo said softly as he patted Alvero on the shoulder who could only scrunch his forehead.
It turns out that it's not just a chess problem, your knowledge of women's problems is still far from me. Although I'm not married and I've never done it, but I'm not as stupid as Alvero. Ah, the leg, at least some things Alvero still lost to me.
Enzo said inwardly with his lips whistling merrily as he caught up with Alvero who had started walking back towards Deanda. Realizing that his great cousin was not in all respects able to defeat him, Enzo looked delighted. And that certainly makes Enzo feel so proud today.
Whoa.... Enzo isn't married yet but why does he know more about women than I do? Wouldn't it be a shame if I learned something like that from him? Huh.... Whatever, you stupid. Not necessarily what Enzo said was true.
Alvero said inwardly as he approached Deanda, gently patting the back of his wife's back, to signal for Deanda to follow him, stepping towards the palace's dining hall, enjoy dinner with other family members.

Ernest who read the message from Alvero immediately frowned.
If anyone asks anyone, tell them we'll help Prince Enzo prepare for his birthday. Get the car ready, we'll leave as soon as the dinner is over.
Alvero again sent a message to Ernest before returning to feed the spoon into his mouth while smiling at Deanda who was looking at him accidentally. Seeing Alvero smile, Deanda immediately returned the smile with a little hesitation, because this time Deanda felt Alvero slightly forced her smile, like something was troubling Alvero's mind, and it's definitely not something trivial.
Realizing that it was impossible for Deanda to ask Alvero directly for now, Deanda chose to turn her eyes away. At first glance, the chair usually occupied by Desya looked empty. From Alea earlier Deanda had heard that Desya did not want to wait until tomorrow. After Alvero conveyed his decision, without saying goodbye to anyone and bringing anything Desya left the palace. It makes the servants under Eliana's orders busy to take care of Desya's belongings, to be packed and taken to the apartment owned by the Eliana family.
Dion who saw Deanda's eyes looking at Desya's empty chair immediately smiled with eyes fixed on Deanda.
How come when I know you belong to Alvero's feet, I can't even stop and stop my heart from having you. Even I feel like I'm a crazy person who just seeing your figure in good shape really makes me feel happy and happy more than anything. You made my mind go crazy, made me feel like I was no longer me. I don't care if people think I'm so crazy and obsessed with you. For sure no matter how small of an opportunity I have, I will pull you towards me and snatch you from Brother Alvero. I could really go crazy if I couldn't get to you.
Dion said inwardly as his eyes remained fixed with the gaze of the eyes as he expected Deanda to return the look in his eyes and smile at him, expecting Deanda to return the look, although it seems like an impossible hope considering all this time Deanda never seemed to care about him.
But once Dion saw the eyes of Alvero who looked at him so sharply because he was caught observing Deanda, Dion immediately cleared his throat and turned his eyes away from Deanda with a feeling of unwillingness.
Huh! You really don't know yourself! How could you look at your sister-in-law with such a gaze? Really have no manners! It is not worth being an Adalvino. If only you weren't my half-sister, I would have found a way to beat you up! Teach your eyes especially so that you do not use them carelessly, looking at the wife of such a man!
Alvero cursed Dion inwardly while holding his breath, it felt like he wanted his now clenched hand to hit Dion's ever-smiling face towards Deanda, what for Alvero was like a smile of a man who was disturbed by his soul because he was so infatuated with something that did not belong to him and could not possibly have.
In the next few moments, Alvero deliberately looked at Dion frequently, so that his half-sister no longer dared to steal a glance at the empress who actually looked calm, not knowing that there were currently two men fighting through their eyes because of the beautiful and admirable figure he had. If only the sight of an eye could kill people, perhaps one of them was already lying lifeless because of that.
As soon as the dinner was over, the others had already started to leave the dining room and say goodbye to Alvero, but Alvero chose to remain silent in his seat, make Deanda can only follow what is being done by her husband, remain sitting quietly in his chair, waiting for what will be done by Alvero next.
