In the course of a day, Brodsway was conquered. The king and his descendants were also killed, so that no grudge of ancestral blood was attached to them. The women of the king admitted defeat, then exiled along with their respective ladies.
Cold air is not always bad. Eve decided to get out of the palace just to enjoy the garden built in a small berth. His mind wanders, tomorrow the plan is Lucas will announce himself as the new King at Brodsway, then followed by Sasania who reportedly will also fall into the hands of the man.
Two kingdoms were successful. Couldn't Lucas build an empire with that?
"Lady, here you are apparently."
Without even looking, Eve knew who was standing behind her.
"Something's up, Commander North."
"Can we talk for a second?" Permission sungkan. "Lord Lumiero sent you a message."
Eve nodded slowly and then walked away followed by the commander who was walking behind her. This small garden that lay before them was quite unique. If in general the garden is filled with flowers, then here it is filled with red leaves, so striking among the falling snow grains.
Eris who was busy paying attention to the unique plant was not aware that they were already standing in front of the stone pavilion. Eve had already sat in her place, then noticed Eris who was still standing in place.
"You can sit down, commander."
Eris approached Eve and decided to sit a short distance away from the woman. The cold air temporarily took over the atmosphere. Until Eve spoke up.
"What about the mission I gave you. It worked?"
Eris nodded. "However, there's one that doesn't work."
Then story after story just flowed from Eris' lips. From the difficulty of entering the castle, to the incident where the three reluctant lords of Lumiere left their prison. Eve knew that when her brother must have had other plans, just kept quiet while nodding occasionally. Until Eris says her ultimate goal is to meet Eve as soon as possible.
"And yes ... Lord Lumiero left a message for you." Eris took something behind her clothes. A folded dull paper was handed to him to read. As usual, Declan's handwriting is very neat when the place to write this letter alone is certainly not possible.
To Lady Luvena Lumiera,
How are you doing in a new place with the Crown Prince? I hope it is good news that you will write to reply to my letter. After you left, everything passed quickly. The three of us are in custody and the duke himself seems to be getting even more frustrated after losing track in your search.
Eve, duke's not as bad a person as you think.
Getting there, Eve thought for a moment. What Declan was doing writing this letter. Why as ... Declan sided with Zachary.
Duke, although emotional and often uncontrollable, but his heart was tethered to his little daughter who was now running away. He missed you, Eve. And always has been. He never reveals it and perhaps forever the man will be silent to remember his oversized ego just to express affection. I specifically, begged you. Whatever happens, never once do you hate our father. Please note, he is already sorry for his actions.
Declan Cassius Lumiero's
"What does this mean" Eve muttered trying to guess.
Did something happen? Or the duke himself who had Declan write this letter for him. Ah, the second option sounds impossible.
Declan doesn't know. He had no idea how difficult Margaret and Eve were. Throughout his life, he was always spoiled with abundant treasures, right.
And what did he say? Regretting. Huh, that's funny. But just regretting without helping anything is very useless.
Eve hate. He hated dukes for hurting his mother. Then, separate those who have been together all this time. In an instant, acknowledging Eve as his daughter for the sake of the kingdom when all this time ... where did he go?
Eve looked back at Eris. "Have you known anything about the Duke of Lumiere lately?"
"The Duke of Lumiere...." Eris tried to remember the name inside her head.
"Oh, right. The Eastern Commander once told His Grace to me. Otherwise the event coincides with the day of your arrival at Carmelion."
Eve was silent but her gaze demanded to know. So Eris continued her words.
"A few hours after your ship and the Chairman depart, His Grace has just arrived at the harbor. The gesture was calm, but the trained Eastern Commander of course knew that the duke himself was feeling uneasy. He told his men to ask the Eastern Commander who was disguised as a shipkeeper for the common people. And successfully, the Eastern Commander managed to give them a different route through the help of his friend."
Eve is still trying to digest. The remaining heartache prevented him from believing, let alone worrying.
Oh, ja. Of course the duke is restless. He was trying to find the Lumiere doll. Sasania and Brodsway's relationship also deteriorated thereafter. Sure oes. That's the reason, right. There's nothing else.
"Either what they think until they ask this ridiculous thing." Eve laughed heartily.
Does no one understand him? Eve wants justice. If in the past the duke dumped himself and his mother, then Eve would do so too. Dumping the duke and forgetting the blood relationship between them, just like the events of a dozen years ago.
Is it that easy to forgive? No. gabe. Eve was not a holy-hearted forgiving person. He wanted the duke to feel the same pain his mother had suffered.
"Saking his hate, I intend to scorch Lumiere Castle," Eve muttered again gritting her teeth.
"You can do it."
Eve looked at Eris who was also looking back at her with a big smile.
"Just talk about this to the Chairman, then in two days let the Nyx Knight move to make your dream come true."
"A figurative only. I'm not going to do it" Eve said, taking a deep breath.
"However grim the castle was for me, but still some of my memories are stored in it. Not to be destroyed, but what I want, let me decide for myself when their head of the family can change position."
"Then get ready to reach a higher position, Lady," Eris said.
"Just calm down." In response, Eve smiled faintly. He knew very well what Eris meant. Queen position.
"In a moment, everything will be realized one by one."
