NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)
OBSERVING ELIANA'S MOVEMENTS
As soon as Alvero and Deanda finished their long bath, Alvero who was standing beside Deanda while leaning her body against the wall with her eyes watching Deanda tidying her hair in front of the glass let out a soft sigh. And Alvero's sigh made Deanda immediately turn to her husband.
"What are you thinking? Why sigh like that?" Hearing Deanda's question of moving her hand to tie the top of her hair and let some of her other hair down, Alvero turned her back away from the wall of the walk-in closet, walking closer to Deanda.
"No. I just feel a little sorry, why fate brought us together for too long. If only we had met three or four years ago, maybe we already had one or two children." Deanda immediately laughed amusedly at Alvero's words.
"That's it. Three or four years ago I was still finishing my studies, how could we get married that fast?" Deanda answered Alvero's complaint while putting the comb back on the table.
"Indeed who can resist the wishes of the Gracetian crown prince? Even if we met when you were 18, I'll make sure I get you married. Especially if I know that being able to marry you is the best gift from heaven for me." As soon as Alvero finished his words, Alvero quickly pulled Deanda's wrist, took her out of the walk in closet, walked towards the living room sofa that was in the presidential suit room.
Deanda's eyes were slightly widened to see the deluxe dishes they had prepared for that morning. Almost all kinds of meat, fish and seafood are there.
"Eh, why does our breakfast today look so fancy? Like a treat at a big royal party?" Deanda asked with eyes staring in wonder as well as hungry towards those foods.
"After activities that consume a lot of energy, we should consume a lot of protein to restore our energy." Alvero's relaxed-sounding answer but deliberately uttered to make Deanda remember the hot night they managed to make Deanda's face like a boiled lobster that is currently also served on the table.
"It doesn't need that much food either." While responding to Alvero's words, Deanda took a sitting position on the sofa, preparing to enjoy breakfast with her husband.
Right after Deanda ended her words, Alvero clearly heard a rumbling sound from Deanda's stomach which made her laugh in amusement, and made Deanda smile with a shy face. With what happened, because this morning he really felt so hungry.
"No, your stomach has issued a protest so hard, ask for more nutrition this morning. Enjoy all the food this morning. If it's still lacking, we can ask the hotel to re-create it." Alvero said with his hands busy moving some of the dishes that were in front of him into his plate, leaving Deanda's eyes widened at Alvero's words.
There are noble words. As much as this, how could we both be able to spend it.
Deanda said inwardly as her hand overtook Alvero to begin moving the food from the serving plate to her plate.
"Eat a lot. Not only me, you also need to eat a lot of protein to restore your energy, so it doesn't take long, for us to repeat what we did last night." Hearing Alvero's words, successfully made Deanda's eyes widen in shock, while Alvero who saw the reaction of Deanda just smiled sweetly while moving both shoulders with a face teasing him.

"Good morning, Your Majesty, Empress." As soon as he saw Alvero and Deanda coming out of their room, Ernest immediately said good morning by paying his respects to Alvero and Deanda.
"The car is ready. Are we leaving now, or is there something to be done before we go Your Majesty?" Hearing Ernest's question, Alvero glanced towards Enzo's room door.
"Yes, Your Majesty, about 1 hour ago Prince Enzo left his room. He greeted me and asked if His Majesty had come out of His Majesty's room." Ernest answered Alvero's question quickly.
Istt... basic Enzo, do you want to find information about the success or failure of your plan last night? Today I make sure you will no longer be able to laugh after I reply to you.
Alvero said inwardly as he swept his lips.
"Let's go now. Arrange for no bodyguards to follow us. I don't want my arrival to look flashy." Alvero said as he walked away from the door of his hotel room, followed by Deada who was walking beside him right, Ernest on the left was a step behind Alvero.
"Your Majesty." Ernest said as he lit the earpiece in his ear.
As soon as Alvero and Deanda got into the car that was going to take them to Marcello's house, Ernest immediately prepared for the driver's position, and began to step on the gas and drive the car at moderate speed.
"Ernest, is there any suspicious movement from the palace?" Alvero said slowly while slightly looking back, making sure no one followed their journey.
"There is something suspicious Your Majesty, only earlier I wanted to inform you that yesterday night suddenly Queen Elizabeth's mother left back to the city of Renhill, Renhill, but I heard this morning that he had returned to the palace. According to Erich's information, last night Duke Evan banned Queen Eliana's mother from seeing her highness Vincent." Hearing Ernest's explanation, Alvero scrunched his forehead.
"Did Erich say the reason duke Evan forbade Eliana from seeing papa?" Alvero's question made Ernest immediately nod his head.
"According to Erich, it was the Italian doctor who requested that his Majesty Vincent undergo the quarantine process for some time so that the doctor could examine the blood of the noble Vincent without the intervention of others. Yesterday the night before Queen Dowager Eliana arrived, duke Evan found suspicious footage on his last visit to the hospital to visit his highness Vincent before being transferred to the villa. Some time ago before his highness Vincent was transferred to the villa of the princely family of Enzo, eliana's Queen Mother had once given a warm tea to the noble Vincent." Ernest paused his words for a while while taking a deep breath before continuing his speech.
"And from the reports of the attending physician, his Excellency Vincent that night slept too soundly. Like someone who is given sleeping pills. Therefore the doctor suspected that Queen Mother Eliana would give another, so he asked permission to duke Evan to quarantine. The former tea drunk by his Majesty Vincent disappeared because before leaving the queen mother was seen carrying the used glass of tea to the bathroom. Suspicion from duke Evan, the queen mother accidentally threw away the remaining tea and cleaned up the marks left on the glass." Both Deanda and Alvero were slightly jolted at Ernest's words.
"Truly a cunning snake woman....!" Alvero growled with an annoyed face.
"It was fortunate that duke Evan moved quickly. Tell duke Evan, in the meantime he must tighten the guard at the villa of the prince Enzo's family. Make sure there's no intruder among the guards." Alvero said as he clenched his hand.
"Your Majesty. While the info from Alea said that there were some new servants who yesterday suddenly replaced the old servants. And some of them were servants in charge of serving the empress." Hearing Ernest's words, Alvero immediately held his breath.
"I will contact Madame Rose, to choose for myself a servant who must serve the empress. Now we have to get to Uncle Marcello's house to meet Red there." Ernest immediately nodded as he heard Alvero's words, and began to increase the speed of the car he was driving.
