“Good Your Majesty.. I will remember well what His Majesty Alvero just told me.” Finally with his right hand holding the phone squeezed the phone firmly, and his left hand clenched. Eliana called Alvero "Your Majesty".
A smile of victory was on Alvero's face in the end Eliana called him “Yang Mulia”. If only he could, it seemed Alvero was eager to see the face of Eliana that could be ascertained by Alvero must be flushed with anger because he had to call him with a noble deed.
“Thank you for the humility of the queen mother so you want to listen to the words of young people like me.” Hearing Alvero's insinuating words, Eliana's hands clenched even more, so that unknowingly her sharp hooves began to hurt, scraping the skin from her palms.
“Alright.. Now the queen mother can tell me, the tumben once the queen mother contacted me. For more than twenty years, the Queen Mother had only contacted me on the phone this time. I don't know if I should feel happy, proud or even worried and scared.” Again Alvero's words managed to get Eliana's emotions provoked, causing Eliana's fist to get tighter.
"What does His Majesty need to fear from a weak woman like me, who only knows about the affairs of the palace household." Eliana said while trying hard not to let out a hissing sound from her lips as it held back the anger that had filled her chest, but on the other hand he had to try hard to keep appearing soft and graceful so that Alvero did not see the claws he had prepared to fight Alvero behind his attitude that had been seen by people outside as a graceful and gentle woman.
"Ah, a woman as strong as a queen mother, where can I consider her a weak woman, even in the past, a Gracetian empress alone could be knocked out by the queen mother."
If only Eliana could not remember the compelling reason why she had to contact Alvero at this time and could not remember that Alvero was the current king of the Gracetians, he would gladly cut off the phone and scold Alvero harshly to release the anger within him.
Alvero! Brash kid! You always purposely searched because of me! I will definitely destroy you! Just wait for later! I must have avenged this humiliation!
In the end Eliana could only curry inwardly while biting her lips hard enough, so that she could feel a sense of rancidity from the blood coming out of her lips.
"Why did duke Evan prevent me from seeing my own husband? His Excellency Vincent? Is Your Majesty deliberately preventing me from taking care of my own husband?" Hearing Eliana's question, Alvero slightly eased the sinister smile on her lips.
"The order of duke Evan is down because at the request of the doctor who handles papa. The queen mother knew for herself, some of this time papa needed intensive treatment to recover his condition. As a wife who cares about her husband's health. shouldn't the queen obey every rule and decision of the doctor who handles papa? Or maybe the queen mother better understand about the drugs and handling needed by the father to recover his health immediately? But as I recall, even the queen mother never learned about health science. So, just trust your care to someone more professional in their field." Alvero answered Eliana's question casually, but if he could, he wanted to answer that he had done everything to stop Eliana from harassing Vincent and trying to hurt him, leaving Eliana at a loss for words to reverse Alvero's words.
"Does the Queen mother object to the attitude of people who have tried to protect papa? I'd be very grateful if the Queen mother had the same thoughts as me. Doing everything that's best for you to recover quickly and return to the palace." After some time Alvero let Eliana go silent for holding back her anger, Alvero deliberately went back to provoking questions aimed at Eliana.
"Then. I want to ask Your Majesty something else. What does His Majesty mean by stopping some new servants serving in the palace? I know Madam Rose is a person trusted by His Majesty, but she should not be able to arbitrarily dismiss the new servants who have been through the clerk's screening strictly to be able to work in the palace." Eliana tried to stick with saying her words in a low tone so that Alvero did not know how angry she was at the moment.
(Employee screening is the usual process by recruiters to verify the information provided by employees.because recruiters do not want to hire careless and unprofessional employees. There are various considerations for the screening process, ranging from skills, educational background and employee personality. All are carefully verified by the recruiter. Not only that, recruiters may also see if there is a criminal record from prospective employees that can harm the company's reputation in the future. Whether prospective employees have ever used drugs or not, all are well investigated by recruiters. If a person has ever had a criminal record and has ever used drugs, it is likely that the recruiter will remove that person's name from the list. The company is really doing a good screening. They even looked at what someone's reputation in the workplace had been like before. A little bad record appears in someone's history, it is quite difficult for that person to be called an interview by a company or recruiter. Not only when looking for new employees, employee screening is also done when trying to give an increase to the employee concerned).
"Ooo, that problem? I think what an important issue. That's not what Miss Rose wants. I ordered a re-screening. If until they are dismissed, it means that something is not right at the time of recruitment. We must be careful in recruiting palace employees. The Queen mother must know that well." With a style of speech that remains relaxed Alvero responded to the words of Eliana, without caring that he had begun to hear teeth grinding from Eliana who began to struggle to hold his emotions.
"Your Majesty! The recruitment of the courtiers is under my responsibility as the legal wife of the noble Vincent. All the household affairs of the palace are under my authority. Your Majesty should clearly understand the palace rules stating that!" This time Eliana could no longer hold back her emotions so she spoke in a tone loud enough to Alvero who seemed happy to have succeeded in processing the emotions of Eliana.
"Ck ck ck.... The queen mother seems to be due to the age factor so forget many important things. The official rules of the palace clearly state that the owner of the supreme power for the affairs of the palace household is the Gracetian empress. Even when I became king, Papa Vincent as the previous king was still alive, giving up the throne to me because he felt his health was getting worse... But, the Queen Mother must remember, that now the Gracetian consort is my rightful wife, the consort Deanda Federer, not Eliana Edarian." Without caring about the high tone of Eliana's words that showed his emotions, Alvero still answered Eliana's words so casually, and deliberately cornered her, he said, to show that now little by little Alvero will cut one by one the branches of the tree of Eliana power until finally Alvero will cut the tree to the ground, even plucking the tree from the ground to its roots.
