NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)
START WITH ELIANA
“Mr Alvi, I will try to help by searching for info about any witnesses who have seen the incident and trying to make them tell the true events.” Alvero smiled hearing the promise from Red.
“I will wait for the good news if indeed you can find the witnesses it Mr. Red.
“I will try my best.” Red answered quickly.
“All right, for today, that's what I want to talk to you both about. I hope in the next meeting we've both found a bright spot. Me and Deanda will return to our place.” Alvero said as he got up from his seat, after which Alvero directly extended his palm towards Deanda who immediately grabbed him and came to his feet from his seat, assisted by Alvero.
“Good Mr. Alvi.” Red answered Alvi's words and rose from his seat, followed by Marcello.
“Then we will go first. Thank you for your welcome and conversation today.” Hearing Alvero's words, both Red and Marcello immediately nodded their heads.
“Good day Mr. Alvi, may all the truth soon be wide open in front of us all.” Marcello responded to Alvero's words with a slight nod of his head as a sign of respect to Alvero, followed by Red.
“Ok, take care of yourself both. Maybe in the future you two will also be a target of Eliana.” Alvero gives a warning to Red and Marcello. Since Alvero knew, ever since Red refused the woman who came to Goldie Tavisha to hire a murderer, Eliana must have known that the people in Goldie Tavisha were siding with the legitimate royal family, the Adalvino family.
“Don't worry Mr. Alvi, we will definitely win this fight. For too long the Queen mother has enjoyed a comfortable life with all the evil she has done. It's time for him to pay for all that.” Red took a deep breath after saying his words.

“Your Majesty, are we back at the hotel or to the palace? Or does His Majesty have another purpose this afternoon?” Ernest asked while reducing the speed of the car he was driving, with Alvero and Deanda sitting in the passenger seat.
“We go to Adalvino company building. Today we will stay in the penthouse. Tomorrow afternoon we leave for the port to attend the birthday party of prince Enzo.” Alvero answered Ernest's question while glancing at the clock on his wrist.
Ah, tomorrow is a time of torture for me. I hope I don't go home by name because of seasickness.
Ernest said inwardly as he shuddered slightly imagining tomorrow he would have to follow Alvero and Deanda to attend Enzo's birthday party on the royal yacht.
“Good Your Majesty. I will arrange to clear the belongings of His Majesty and Empress Deanda from hotel.” Ernest immediately refocused on the task of Alvero to take his mind off the seasickness he had to face tomorrow.
Alvero and Enzo's close relationship, even like a sibling was already so understood by all the inhabitants of the palace. And just now Ernest heard a command that sounded so strange. Whether what had happened and what was about to happen, Ernest could only wait and see why Alvero gave him such a strange-sounding order.
“Actually... what are you planning to do with prince Enzo?” In a soft tone, Deanda asked as she looked at the direction of Alvero who looked silenced a sly smile on her lips.
“Nothing…. I mean, there's no plan for Enzo other than to teach him a little valuable lesson. Don't worry too much, I won't do anything to hurt Enzo, let alone tomorrow is his birthday. Ah, yes.. It's lunch time, do you want to go somewhere for our lunch?” Alvero immediately switched the conversation about Enzo.
“We had lunch at the company cafe. So there is no need to bother.” Deanda said as she took a deep breath, hoping that her husband would not do anything bad to Enzo.
“Mmmm, okay. So can.” Alvero immediately agreed to Deanda's idea for lunch at a cafe owned by the Adalvino company.

“Sweety.. I had to meet Mr. Robert for a bit to talk about the team's preparations from the company that would help at Enzo's birthday party. I'll make sure Enzo gets the best team for his birthday party.” Once Alvero and Deanda reached the cafe and sat in one of the VVIP rooms owned by the cafe, Alvero who was just reminded of the preparations for Enzo's birthday party rose to his feet.
“Please wait here for a moment. Order food first, it won't be more than 15 minutes I'll be back. Ernest, accompany the empress. Make sure you take good care of the empress.” Alvero said as he patted Deanda's soft hand on the table and passed by with quick steps walking towards the R&D room.
Alvero had just walked out of the cafe door when a phone call made her quickly grab the phone from her pants pocket.
As soon as he saw Eliana's name on the phone screen, Alvero immediately took a deep breath with a face that had looked cheerful, turning into annoyed. Alvero quickly walked towards Avitus' room, and with his hand signaled for Avitus to leave the room immediately, so that Alvero could freely take phone calls.
“Hallo.” With a lazy-sounding voice, Alvero picked up the phone from Eliana.
“Alvero! You've really gone too far!” The sound of screaming from across there instantly rang out loud, making Alvero smile cynically while keeping his phone away from his ears.
“Mother suri…. Notice how you mentioned my name as a Gracetian king. Although I am much younger than you, and you are now my father's wife. But, you know I never thought of you as a mother to me. With such a non-close relationship, it felt like my ears felt strange that you called out to me by directly mentioning my name. So, show your respect when you're talking to someone higher than you, or I will never receive a phone call from you again before you learn well manners for a noble and royal descendant of Gracetian.” Hearing Alvero's words spoken in a flat tone, but the content of his words really pierced Eliana's heart, almost the woman shouted and threw her cellphone.
For a moment both Eliana was silent, and Alvero was deliberately waiting for Eliana's next action after she rebuked him just now.
