"There will soon be a fireworks show to cover Enzo's birthday party before the invited guests take a break in their rooms, which Enzo has arranged. And it seems like it's about to start. Do you want to enjoy the fireworks or just take a break in the room?" Hearing Alvero's offer, Deanda glanced towards the clear-looking sky and many stars were visible from the sidelines of the ship's windows, making her want to enjoy the beauty of the night sky in the middle of the ocean, which was the beauty of the sea, something he had never seen before.
"I want to see a fireworks show, but I have to go to the toilet for a while. Wait for me on the deck of the ship. I'll catch you there soon." Deanda's answer with her excited eyes made Alvero smile.
"Ok, I'm waiting at the same place, where we were chatting with earl Robin and countess Melva." Deanda immediately nodded her head before walking towards the toilet, while Alvero immediately stepped towards the deck of the ship after Deanda had gone away.
I should take this opportunity to personally apologize to Brother Alvero while Brother Deanda is not at his side. I hope that even though I have come out of the palace I can have the opportunity to still meet and chat with Brother Alvero. The only way right now is to ask him to forgive me. If Brother Alvero asks for it, even if I have to kneel under his feet, I will be willing to do so. As long as Deanda's brother doesn't see it. I will not humble myself before the woman of the village.
Desya who had been observing Alvero and Deanda, trying to find an opportunity to get close to Alvero seemed to get a fresh wind when she saw the figure of Deanda who was away from Alvero, and Alvero himself is seen walking towards the deck of the ship without anyone else nearby, including Ernest who is usually always there wherever Alvero is.
Alvero accidentally asks Deanda to follow him to the place where they met Melva and earl Robin. Besides in that place there were not many people to see, the wind in that place was not as strong as in other parts of the deck of the ship.
Just as Alvero leaned his back against the guardrail while raising his head, looking up at the clear-looking sky tonight, Desya's figure approaching towards him made Alvero slightly take a deep breath.
Hah, want to let alone Desya to see me? While from his face still looks no guilt after daring to do bad things to my empress. Luckily Deanda was not hurt because of it. If only Deanda had been hurt, it would not have been just to drive her out of the palace and revoke her daughter's title. I'm not afraid I'll throw him in jail.
Alvero said inwardly with a look of disinterested eyes when he saw Desya's figure walking closer towards him.

Deanda smiled in front of the mirror in front of the neatly lined sink about 3 meters from the front door of the ladies' toilet before exiting the room. Deanda's slightly lowered head as she walked away from the bathroom almost hit the figure of the little boy running towards the bathroom. And because of the sudden stop, the boy almost fell because of a slip, fortunately Deanda's hands quickly grabbed his wrists, at the same time hold the child's body so as not to fall with his other hand with a slightly bent body position.
"Ma.. I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Empress..." With a quivering voice, the boy immediately apologized to Deanda with his head directly bowed, staring at the floor below without daring to raise his head.
"Eh... Are you okay?" Deanda immediately observed the figure of the little boy, making sure that the boy was fine.
"Yes Empress..." Hearing the boy's words, which looked slightly frightened, Deanda immediately crouched down, with both of her hands holding onto the boy's shoulders and patting him gently.
"Are you really okay? No one was hurt?" Doubtfully the boy raised his head and looked at the face of Deanda who was looking straight at him with a smile on her pretty face.
Wow...the empress was seen up close....
Instead of answering Deanda's question, the boy looked at Deanda's face with a dazzling look, making Deanda's smile turn into an amused smile at the little boy's attitude.
"What's your name? Why look at me like that? Is there dirt on my face?" Deanda asked with an amused smile still on her face, seeing how the boy looked at her.
With a slow motion, Deanda extended her hand towards the handsome face of the little boy with the puffed cheeks, then pinched the cheek softly without hurting him, making a timid smile instantly slanted on her little lips.
"Eh. ah.. no Empress. only this time I could see the face of Empress Deanda up close. It turns out that the Empress is very beautiful..." Deanda let out a small laugh at the compliment from the little boy.
"O, huh? Did ya? Thanks for the compliment..."
"Simon..My name is Simon, Empress." The boy immediately cut off Deanda's words and mentioned her name.
"Ok Simon's. Next time be careful. There's no need to run that fast so you don't slip, end up falling and getting hurt." Deanda said as she got up from her crouching and stroked Simon's hair gently.
"Good Empress. I will remember well the advice of the Empress." Hearing Simon's promise, Deanda immediately smiled as she pointed her two thumbs at Simon.
"All right, I have to go now. Take good care of yourself." Deanda intended to leave Simon, when she felt Simon's little hand pull the dress at his feet.
"Your Majesty Empress Deanda..." Suddenly Simon said while looking at Deanda with a reddened face.
"If I grow up, I want to have a wife as beautiful and as good as Empress Deanda.... See you soon, Empress..." Not to mention that in his last words, Simon turned his body, running back towards the male toilet with a timid face, leaving Deanda whose lips were slightly opened in shock at what Simon, who was still a child, had just said. Moreover, Simon's words were spoken quite loudly and loudly.
A second later Deanda closed her lips and smiled with an awkward face as she saw Evan standing in front of the door leading to the men's toilet room with a smile on his face, and I don't know how much talk between him and Simon that Evan has heard, including the silly words that Simon said to him.
Deanda was completely unaware that Evan was nearby because of his crouching position in front of Simon, so his body turned back to Evan. So, Deanda really does not know that since a while ago Evan has been there, observing at once heard all the talk between Deanda and Simon who clearly looked so admiring the figure of the Gracetian empress, even though she was still a plain little child.
