Ruth tidied up the last makeup on Anastasia's face, then her hand re-fixed Anastasia's already tidy hair. When she finished, Ruth looked back in front of the mirror. Anastasia who saw the final work of Ruth smiled
"Thank you Ruth"
This time, Ruth gave a slow snort. Ruth had told her a million times that Anastasia could not thank a waitress like her. Anastasia who saw the look on Ruth's face that was bent because she was upset chuckled amusedly.
"Well, Ruth, I forgot"
"Please no more, Your Highness. I didn't deserve it, I felt uncomfortable"
While nodding dramatically, Anastasia rounded her index finger and thumb, making an OK sign that immediately made Ruth chuckle.
Anastasia's happy rarity made Ruth throw a sigh of relief. Because for two days, he was always sad when he saw the grim face of his mistress after the departure of Ferdinand who until now has not returned.
And this afternoon, just like yesterday, Anastasia's smile and face could come back again, always smiling again because of Michael. Michael, who was like the entertainer Anastasia, always made Ruth's heart relieved.
Anastasia immediately moved out of her chair to re-examine all of her appearances.
After feeling perfect, Anatasia just give her fragrance.
TOK TOK TOK
"Your Highness, this is Lord Michael"
The voice of a servant at the door made Ruth rush to snatch the tiara that had not been installed. Anastasia who saw Ruth's panicked face chuckled while bending her legs, to make it easier for Ruth to put on a tiara
After all was done, Ruth with a slight run immediately towards the door. Anastasia chuckled again while shaking her head. He's the one who's leaving, but Ruth is always more excited when it comes to welcoming Michael.
Anastasia stepped towards the door as Ruth nodded at someone in front of the door. There, Michael in his gentleman suit was ready to greet him with a polite smile
"Good afternoon Your Highness"
Anastasia replied to Michael's polite smile in a no less courteous manner
"Good afternoon, Marquess"
Quickly, Michael immediately thrust his elbow politely. Anastasia graciously immediately took the elbow that had been thrust.
"You're so pretty, Your Highness"
Fine rarity slid off the lips of Anastasia
"Thank you, Marquess"
"Go now?"
Anastasia's head nodded briefly, and Michael immediately took their steps.
Ruth who walked behind Anastasia and Michael smiled as she looked at the two people in front of her who had already thrown each other a chat. Carl, who was walking with Ruth, was silent, then glanced to the right for a moment, because his instinct was to realize the presence of someone who was peering behind the wall.
When Carl finds out who's behind the wall, Carl doesn't care. He cares about people who are not important. Carl was more concerned about other things. About, will this be a problem when Anastasia goes with Michael to a pretty big party, even though the party is not a party for the public?
When he arrived in front of the horse carriage, Michael immediately helped Anastasia to ride the carriage, Ruth was helped by Carl, and Michael went inside. The carriage started to move as Carl was already riding his horse, but before Carl pulled the reins, Carl's eyeballs glanced back towards the castle door. Where someone who had peeked silently, peeked back. Nonchalantly and unconcernedly, Carl begins to spur his horse.
--000--
Ferdinand carefully brought Kenna down from the carriage that had the palace emblem, a carriage that was much smaller than the King's and Crown Princess's, the train that had been carrying Ferdinand and Kenna's vacation trip for two days and three nights.
Elsa who heard the arrival of her sister immediately ran towards the exit. When Ferdinand and Kenna were at the door, Elsa immediately shouted in delight.
"You have long since left me alone!!"
Kenna and Ferdinand chuckled amusedly at Elsa's energetic behavior. Shaking Kenna's hand, Ferdinand began to enter the door. Stephen who was waiting at the door immediately bowed politely
"Welcome back to Your Highness and Miss Kenna"
Ferdinand nodded briefly as he continued to step up
"Prepare Stef's dinner"
Dutifully Setafanus immediately nodded. Ferdinand's line of sight instantly looked for someone who kept interfering with his thoughts during the vacation. Elsa who continued to pay attention to Ferdinand's movements finally made a sound
"Her Highness went with Marquess Michael"
Ferdinand's steps came to a halt, then looked at Elsa
"Go?"
Elsa nodded confidently, then glanced at Kenna who had already raised one eyebrow
"Yes, Her Highness goes by wearing a beautiful dress as well as a small crown full of diamonds"
Ferdinand's brows furrowed deeply, his hand that was holding Kenna's hand apart.
"Stefan!!!"
Stephen who was just about to head for the kitchen immediately turned back to the origin of the rising voice. When he was in front of Ferdinand, Stephen glanced at Ferdinand's grim countenance, then looked down politely
"Yes Yo-"
"Where's Her Highness?"
With his head still lowered and a little irritated, Stephen answered politely
"Her Highness goes with Lord Michael, Your Highness"
"Where?"
Stephen bit his cheek and answered with fear
"I don't know for sure, Your Highness. But Ruth said Her Highness would accompany Lord Michael to a party I don't know what and where"
"WHAT'D YOU SAY! ATTENDING PARTY!!!"
Kenna, Elsa, and Stephen gasped as Ferdinand shouted loudly. Kenna who saw a clear streak of anger on Ferdinand's face tried to calm down, grabbed Ferdinand's hand while gently rubbing
"Calm Dinand"
Ferdinand took a deep breath. Goddamnit! they could have gone both! Anastasia was really shameless! How can a noble wife, oh no, wife of a Prince wander around with a single man amidst the many eyes and ears that see! Goddamnit! really fucking! Anastasia really insulted him!
"SOLAR!"
Ferdinand's thunderous voice still standing in front of the entrance made a guard run towards the small house behind the castle. The residences of the servants, guards, including Solar and Carl.
Seeing that Solar had not also appeared, Ferdinand again shouted loudly
"DANELLRO!!"
Kenna will again try to calm Ferdinand down. But free, because Ferdinand immediately brushed off Kenna's hand
"Get in your room and don't come out before I get my orders"
Ferdinand's orders could only make Kenna and Elsa nod while glancing at each other. But before they left, Stephen saw that, seeing Elsa's lips drawn upwards before Elsa stepped past him.
The person whose name kept on shouting Ferdinand immediately came while running around and immediately lowered his head.
"Your Highness"
"How can you let Her Highness go with Mike, Solar!"
Huh huh?
How can he say? Solar did not think out, indeed he had the right and obligation to prohibit his master from leaving. Who is he? But, Solar knew enough to not open his mouth carelessly.
"Sorry Your Highness"
BRAK!!
Ferdinand's legs kicked at the table around him. Goddamnit! Anastasia is fucking!
Solar gulped his saliva with great difficulty, then replied politely
"Parment"
After Solar answered his question, Ferdinand immediately went to step towards the direction of the stairs. His sense of urgency is really peaking. He really wanted to strangle someone.
All his life, he had never felt a sense of contempt like this. Anastasia's insults completely ignited the flames inside Ferdinand's head and inside his chest.
Ferdinand's steps continued to move until he headed to the front door of the library. Ferdinand violently kicked the door open.
Look, Ferdinand will show you how angry he is now. And because of that, Ferdinand's feet began to kick the shelves of innocent books there
One shelf, two shelves, three bookshelves fell until all the books there were spilled, until the loud sound of the dropped shelves echoed strongly, sending fear to anyone who could hear them. But, that was not enough, Ferdinand's annoyance and anger had not improved until his hands picked up and torn the books closest to his reach.
For a long time Ferdinand had restrained himself when Anastasia had destroyed her gift garden, it had been a long time that Ferdinand had been patient with Anastasia's treatment of her, it had been a long time that he had restrained himself when Anastasia ignored him, it had been a long time since Anastasia had ignored him, it had been a long time that he had held back with all of Anastasia's rude actions towards him. And now, Ferdinand would avenge that. He will also destroy the innocent library, a place that Anastasia is very much guarding, a place that only a few can enter
Did Anastasia never think that Anastasia's treatment, her abandonment, her rudeness hurt Ferdinand so much? Why is Anastasia so selfish and unable to understand herself? Why did Anastasia not know if Ferdinand missed every treatment Anastasia used to have, such sweet and gentle treatment as before! But look now, look at what Anastasia did when Ferdinand missed her, Anastasia instead had fun with other men!
Ferdinand's hands continued to tear, his feet constantly kicking whatever was nearby. Ferdinand was completely on a rampage and lost his sanity, and it was all because of Anastasia.
Solar who realized that, could only waste a long breath. He hoped that Ferdinand would soon come to terms with his own goals and feelings. Because Solar who had always been the closest person to Ferdinand all this time, the person who understood the character of his master, had never seen Ferdinand who was so angry like now, so crazy as now. And that form of wrath, the biggest reason Ferdinand realized or didn't realize, was his jealousy and frustration.
After his anger was slightly lessened, Ferdinand stopped the pace of his legs and the pace of his hands. His breath was puffed with both hands that had ruffled his waist. His gaze stared at all the destruction that lay around him.
He was quite satisfied to see all the destruction there but, just as his feet were about to turn towards the door, an ornate box that was thrown inside the pile of books caught his attention.
While adjusting his breathing, Ferdinand began to approach where the box caught his attention. Ferdinand's feet flung out all the books covering the surroundings, then picked up the box.
With interest growing higher, Ferdinand opened the box cover. And, there are three mail envelopes?
Ferdinand quickly picked up an envelope there. Plain white envelopes that do not have any stamp.
His curiosity grew when it was written on another envelope; to Abraham Albern Berwyn, and to another envelope written; to Abraham Albern Berwyn.
In the midst of his annoyance and also his burning thoughts, the surname 'Berwyn' sounded familiar to Ferdinand, but who?
Not wanting to think hard, Ferdinand immediately opened the mail ampoule. When the first letter was opened and read, Ferdinand's jaw clenched. When the second letter was opened and read, Ferdinand's heart rumbled violently. When the third letter opened, the last letter, the letter that was still scratched, the letter that had been prepared to be sent and the letter that also made Ferdinand's eyes darken. It was so dark that he could have killed anyone nearby by now.
And all those letters, all those letters from Abraham Berwyn. After reading the letter, Ferdinand learned that Berwyn was the surname of the late Queen Marry, Anastasia's mother. And Abraham Albern Berwyn was the younger brother of the late Queen Merry who was in Roman. Roman, Vatican.
Brakk!!
And, the sound of the toss that made the ornate box become shattered into pieces on the library floor, becoming a cover of destruction within the library. Because with his broad steps, while keeping the envelope into his pocket, Ferdinand walked towards the stairs.
Anyone, anyone who saw Ferdinand's face was now holding their breath. Those who were just about to approach undo their intentions when they could feel the cold-killing chill coming out from the motions of the number one hero in Francia right now.
Solar who was faithfully waiting for Ferdinand at the door of the library had already sensed everything, the cause of the killing air that was coming out was when he saw Ferdinand read three letters. It's pekaka! Solar knew that, he knew very well that by now, Anastasia could be in danger.
"Solar"
"Yes Your Highness"
"Take the bottle to the living room"
Bottle, was the word Ferdinand always said when he asked for Vodka, scotch, bourbon or whiskey. Submissively, Solar headed straight for the storage kitchen.
Ferdinand took his sitting position which was directly facing the entrance of the castle. His face was very cold, his gaze was terrible, the extraordinary streaks of anger were clearly etched on his flat face.
The servants who had finished preparing dinner glanced at each other and pushed each other as no one dared to come forward to meet Ferdinand, either, stephen came and said they didn't have to come close and didn't have to show up around Ferdinand. Which in a sense is, if Stephen was emptying the castle.
With resignation, Solar began to align the bottles to the living room table. He immediately poured scotch and Vodka that he mixed. Solar knows exactly what Ferdinand needs right now. Something powerful, that burns, and that can be relieving.
Once the glass was ready, Ferdinand's hand quickly grabbed the glass. In one lip patch, fill the toilet glass. Solar who saw it again poured and concocted with his occasional eye glanced at Stephen.
Stephen from a great distance saw the glance, the glance which Stephen answered with a brief nod. Suppose that means if the message sent by Solar is already running.
With a hand that continued to grab the glass, Ferdinand's gaze continued to gaze coldly towards the wide gaping castle door. He waited in silence and anger, he waited in dismay and fear, he waited in his shadow and his mind continued to soar far. Those three damn letters were anger, fear, and a great headache for Ferdinand.
Here another, Anastasia stared lazily at the castle gate that had been opened for their horse carriage. Michael who saw the change in the look on Anastasia's face giggled
"You seem very lazy to come back, Your Highness"
Anastasia took a deep breath
"I should have followed Rebecka's aunty's request tonight to spend the night in Lorne. I regret refusing"
Michael again chuckled amusedly just as the train had stopped. While carrying Anastasia's steps down, Michael said politely
"Other times there's still plenty of time, Your Highness. There is still Ross, and the beautiful Bedford sea as a list of places you can visit"
Hearing Michael's words, Anastasia's smile returned. His mind was imagining the places Michael said he was. Places that became the power of the uncle Queen Victoria.
"Ahhh.. I'm so excited again Marquess"
Michael smiled when he saw the look on Anastasia's face that had returned, then opened the conversation again
"What do you think of those parliamentarians, Your Highness?"
While continuing to step towards the entrance, Anastasia chuckled
"They're sickening and an excellent sycophant. It is fitting that His Majesty really does not like to attend their party"
"Yeah.it seems like what I said is already proven"
Then they again chuckled without realizing that someone had stood looming in front of the entrance while shaking his waist. Ferdinand looked at all the happiness and mannerisms of Anastasia that he considered cheap.
"It looks like you guys are having fun"
Anastasia gasped as the coveted voice greeted her from the doorstep. Michael who heard that only clenched his mouth while changing his gaze to Ferdinand. At Ferdinand who only stared at Anastasia coldly and sharply.
With a lazy heart back, Anastasia continued to step up and ignored Ferdinand's piercing gaze. Until the moment his step was right next to Ferdinand, his hand was firmly pulled
"Abs!!!"
Ferdinand did not care about the screeching and grimacing face of Anastasia's pain, his steps began to drag Anastasia but, his hand which was dragging Anastasia's arm was restrained. Michael restrained and blocked Ferdinand's hand
"You hurt him dude"
Ferdinand's gaze looked at Michael very coldly. The gaze that Micahel knew of, if it was a bad sign.
"Get out of my house now, before I cut your head off"
"Oowws... Chill Dinand. chill"
Michael spoke without removing his hand from Ferdinand's arm. Ferdinand who saw that, in one fell swoop immediately threw a hot bogem into Michael's jaw.
Anastasia again screeched and was about to head towards Michael who had already smelled the floor while holding his jaw. Damnit damnit! micahel's jaw must have shifted because Ferdinand's punch was not half anymore
"Take off me Ferdinand!"
"SILENCE!!!"
Free, no matter how strong Anastasia fought and thrashed, her strength would not be able to fight Francia's number one war hero who was full of anger.
The increasingly clear Solar could smell the scent of the stepping map to Anastasia, to save Anastasia, even though she would die even at Ferdinand's hands, but it's better than having to die in a cell because of the Queen's orders. Unbeknownst to anyone, Solar assumes other responsibilities from the Queen and the Crown Princess. Solar's body had already moved to carry out his vows and promises but, it had stopped the moment someone held him back
"I told you not to interfere with Solar"
"But Carl...."
"This is the order of His Majesty King Fredrick"
Solar's head turned to look when Carl had already taken his hand off. Staring at Carl who was just staring at the rough dragging steps of Ferdinand flatly.
"Her Highness will definitely hurt Carl"
Carl just kept quiet without even opening his mouth. Not to mention, Carl knows, though,
If on the eve of early autumn had arrived, a calamity would have fallen on Chasembord.
