Anastasia took a breath for a moment. With quivering lips, Anastasia's voice began to sound.
"From our agreement about you that will grant anything for my three requests. I've used one of our promises, Your Majesty"
Fredrick's head nodded in understanding
"Carl will carry and make sure Ruth is safe. Ruth's gonna be fine"
Anastasia breathed a sigh of relief, then ventured to stare at Fredrick firmly
"Keep me away from Francia, Trancia, or even from the continent of Europe. That's for our second appointment, Your Majesty"
A few seconds Fredrick was silent, until his head finally nodded
"All right"
With both hands increasingly gripping each other strongly, with lips that increasingly vibrate, with a hardened decision, Anastasia's mouth spoke softly.
"For the latter, I would like to. nullification of marriage"
This time, Fredrick's long breath blew. Francesca stared fixedly at Anastasia's face with an incomprehensible look, while Victoria immediately stood up from her chair and drew closer to Anastasia.
Anastasia who saw that would instantly open her mouth to say something, but Victoria immediately shook her head while cupping Anastasia's face. Victoria's lips smiled bitterly as she spoke softly
"I'm sorry I failed to educate my son"
Anatasia jerked
"Your"
"I'm sorry for everything he's done to you, Ana. Please forgive me too, for failing to educate him"
"No Your Majesty, please don't be like this. Sorry for Your Majesty"
Anastasia's tears spilled again as Victoria hugged her.
"Blessed Ana. We will always pray for you. Go as far as you want 'cause we'll do your three wishes as agreed"
Victoria's words again made Anastasia sob strong. Finally Anastasia could feel the warm embrace of a mother who prayed for her happiness, a mother who wanted her happiness, again.
"I'm sorry Your Majesty. I'm sorry for disappointing you, please forgive me"
Victoria let go of her embrace while looking at Anastasia with a warm smile.
"I'm glad to see you and get to know you, Ana"
And after looking back at Anastasia's smile, Victoria stood up again and this time her steps went straight to the front of the window.
Feredrick who saw the motion of his wife gripped firmly the cup in front of him. His direction looked at Anastasia with a view that Anastasia did not understand
"You want me to do what to them Princess?"
Fredrick's flat words but containing a stored affection, made Anastasia smile haru. Chief Anastasia shook her head confidently
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
Fredrick's gaze glanced at Francesca who was just speechless
"Frans, help Princess Anastasia prepare for the journey" Fredrick's gaze shifted to look at Tomy "Antar quickly"
Tomy immediately nodded obediently.
"Good Your Majesty"
After all the decisions were resolved, Anastasia immediately stood up and shifted her body to the side. Anastasia looked at Fredrick for a moment with a smile, crossed her legs, pulled both sides of her dress, bent a little on her knees, lowered her head with her audible shaking voice
"May Your Majesty always be happy and always protected by God. Thank you Your Majesty"
Fredrick only nodded briefly, and that was enough for Anastasia to start her new move. Gracefully, Anastasia turned her body to catch up with Francesca and Tomy who were already waiting at the door.
When the door was closed, Jeremmy immediately went in front of Fredrick, as if he already knew if that was what Fredrick wanted. And right, because when Jeremmy had lowered his head in front of him, Fredrick's cold voice immediately sounded
"Tomorrow to clear all my schedules, and lock the son of a bitch up here"
"Good Your Majesty"
After answering obediently, Jeremmy glanced at Solar who instantly understood the glance.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty"
After Jeremmy and Solar came out and the door closed, Fredrick immediately stood towards the window. To where his wife just kept staring out the window
"I failed Bash. I failed my son. I failed Bash"
Fredrick's hand flipped over Victoria's body and immediately hugged his sobbing wife
"I'm Bash's failed mother"
Fredrick's hands continued to rub gently and full of warmth his wife's trembling back, even though Fredrick's jaw had hardened, even though his gaze had been coldly staring at the ceiling of the room
"I failed to educate my son Vic. Please don't cry, please Vic"
Victoria's two hands gripped the shirt on Fredrick's back with her stuffing getting stronger.

Summer still hugged Anastasia without wanting to let go, even when Francesca had already warned her
"I'm sorry we hurt you. Please don't go Ana, I'll miss you. Don't go...."
Isakan Anastasia and Summer continued to join each other, until Francesca who began to feel careless pinching Summer's waist. Summer immediately flinched and let go of her hug
"Why are you pinching me!!!"
Francesca ignored her sister's annoyance, preferring to speak out for the important things
"Tomy"
"Don't bring Ana!!"
Summer who will pull back Anastasia makes Francesca have to pinch her sister again. Until Summer again glared dislike Francesca
"Ana should hurry up and go Sum. When Ana has her place we will visit" Francesca glanced at Anastasia. "Well, isn't it Ana?"
Anastasia who understood immediately nodded her head full of lies, and also opened her voice
"Later we will definitely meet again Sum, because I will also miss you"
While erasing the two traces on his cheek, Summer resignedly nodded and said softly
"The days of Ana. immediately send us a letter containing your address"
Anastasia simply smiled, and immediately turned her body when Tomy had already opened the carriage door.
Once inside the train, Anastasia opened the window.
"I love you guys so much. Thank you for all our memories"
And Anastasia's speech, successfully made Summer cry roaring ungravely.
Francesca's hand was raised to avenge Anastasia's hand as the horse carriage began to move
"We love you too. Always happy...."
With both eyes already spilled, Anastasia nodded to answer Francesca's words.

On the other hand, Ferdinand flinched on his desk chair. His neck and back hurt due to his uncomfortable sleeping position. The direction of his gaze again looked at his bed which was still inhabited by Kenna. There Kenna was still asleep after taking pain medication and for her bleeding.
Ferdinand's long breath gushed in relief, then rubbed his sore nape. Thankfully, everything is fine. The fetus in the stomach of Kenna still had time to be saved even though now Kenna must bedrest completely and should not be stamped in the slightest.
Ferdinand did not care if for the future he had to be very careful to look after Kenna, or even to devote all his time to Kenna, as long as the innocent life is safe and healthy until the time the fetus sees the world.
Sensing that the night breeze blowing into the room was so piercing, Ferdinand immediately stood up from his chair, quickly his hand closing the window. And when the window was closed, the direction of his gaze stared at the connecting door. His memory returned with what he had done to Anastasia but, for a while, he did not want to see Anastasia. He was still upset and angry at Anastasia who could have wanted to harm innocent lives. Should, like not like Anastasia must accept the fact that if the fetus is hers, she should also take care of him even though it sounds cruel, but everything has happened.
Ferdinand rubbed his face violently. Let's say how hard he paints and retains all his anger, right now his chest feels pain when repeating the memory of what his hands have done.
"Dinand..."
That soft and faint voice made Ferdinand's head turn, at Kenna who had just opened her eyes.
"You're up"
With a faint smile, Kenna nodded slowly. Ferdinand returned Kenna's smile as he stepped towards the bed.
"Are you hungry?" Kenna shook her head briefly, and the rejection made Ferdinand directly rub Kenna's hair gently. "You have to eat to get back to health quickly. The fetus also needs to eat"
"I'm not hungry"
"All right, I'll bribe you"
Kenna furrowed her brows in dislike
"I said not hungry"
"Oh.. Do you want to eat soft? alright"
Looking at Kenna who had finally only closed her eyes resignedly, Ferdinand smiled. And a memory made Ferdinand instantly stand up from the bed. Kenna who saw that immediately held Ferdinand's hand
"Where?"
"Get you some food"
"Sir-out"
"I'm just a minute Kenna"
"Hurry back here"
Without wanting to say much more, Ferdinand simply nodded and directly exited the room. Kenna kept staring at the closed door, she knew that at any moment Ferdinand was as thick as a fetus in his stomach, Ferdinand would still think of someone. As of now, there are many servants in the castle and Ferdinand will take his own meal?
"Who are you trying to lie to Dinand? Your movements are very clear"
After Ferdinand closed the door of his room, the tail of his eyes glanced at the front door of the room next to him. Has he eaten? is she crying? is he in pain?
Ferdinand's heart desperately wanted to knock on the door and see firsthand the state of Anastasia, but back, he held back. Ferdinand wanted Anastasia to apologize and admit her mistake first, because if she was not firm, Anastasia would definitely do something again. Something that will be troublesome or even fatal.
Finally, Ferdinand paused his intentions and preferred to go down the stairs. When he stepped down the stairs, everything seemed normal. Traces of the blood dossier had also been cleared, some servants who saw him bow and greet him, things were very normal and calm, like nothing happened? like this never happened? Ferdinand's forehead frowned as he felt that if everything was very normal, it was too normal.
"Call Solar"
The waiter who suddenly got the order lowered his head politely.
"Solar went to the palace this afternoon, and hasn't returned yet, Your Highness"
One eyebrow Ferdinand swooped
"Until now?"
The waiter nodded in response. Ferdinand came back to the kitchen with his head trying to think. Why did Solar go to the palace?
At every step, Ferdinand kept trying to think, even after coming out of the kitchen his head was still thinking. What's more, shouldn't Solar be looking for Ruth?
Ahh.. remembered Ruth so he thought back to Anastasia. Deep down, he could have believed that Anastasia would not do such a cruel thing but, because Anastasia did not firmly reject Ferdinand's accusation, he who is already full of anger cannot think clearly.
Ferdinand's long breath was blowing, his head was in pain right now. Too many things happened today, too many things were shocking for him.
"The food is ready Your Highness"
"Give it to me"
The waiter obediently gave out a tray containing soup and warm milk Ferdinand ordered. Ferdinand quickly took a step but, his steps halted for a moment to say
"Later call Her Highness down, tell her if I want her to eat downstairs with me"
"Sorry Your Highness, but Her Highness just went to bed and also just finished eating in the room"
The servant's words made Ferdinand waste a deep breath. Of course, Ana would definitely avoid it
"Make sure he doesn't lack anything. Serve him well because his servants are not there"
The waiter nodded obediently
"Good Your Highness"
After Ferdinand left, the maid simply stared towards the stairs. He would buy time like an order, because according to Her Majesty, there was a possibility that Ferdinand would go on a rampage when he found out that Anastasia was leaving. Either raging for what, but his job is just stalling.
When the door of the room opened, Kenna who had thought that Ferdinand would be long immediately smiled brightly. He was wrong, as Ferdinand did not seem to have met Anastasia.
"Let's eat"
With a sparkling smile, Kenna nodded enthusiastically. Ferdinand who saw that only smiled warmly and began to feed the spoon after sip of food to Kenna.
Kenna who again felt Ferdinand's attention could not stem his harrowing tears. Ferdinand knew that, he looked at Kenna who rubbed his eyes, but he chose not to want to know if now Kenna was remembering their past. A past that Ferdinand would no longer be able to give.
Every now and then their chatter went on, the occasional bitterness rang out, and once in a while Ferdinand had to persuade Kenna to finish her meal, until the contents of the bowl and cup of milk were gone, Ferdinand let out a sigh of relief.
"Done"
Kenna gave a short nod and returned smiling as she spoke
"You haven't eaten Dinand"
"Yes, after this I'll go eat"
Kenna nodded her head
"You're gonna sleep here tonight, right?"
And the question made Ferdinand's new hand would put the bowl to a halt in the air for a moment, then again land the bowl on the tray while answering
"We can't sleep in Kenna's same room. You know that"
Although annoyance began to enter her heart, but Kenna tried to calm down
"For Dinand tonight, I don't want to be alone"
"Ken-"
"Her Highness must also understand, after all this is all happening because of him. Even because of him we have to buy Elsa's debut"
Both of Ferdinand's brows furrowed deeply, the direction of his gaze staring at Kenna full of probes.
"Why because of him?"
Kenna's rude snort slid from her mouth, Kenna's head lowered while playing her fingers
"Actually I don't want to say this, but I'm afraid if I don't tell you, it could happen again"
With his focus fixed on Kenna, Ferdinand stared fixedly at Kenna's head that was still lowered
"Tell me. Cause I'm actually gonna ask you later, too, but your circumstances don't make me want to burden you"
Still with his head still down, Kenna finally opened the story, a version of himself
"Initially, I came to Her Highness' room to thank her for being willing to accept Elsa and let Elsa debut. But I don't know what my fault was that made Her Highness become suddenly enraged" Kenna searched as her stuffing began to sound, then resumed. "Her Highness was angry and said if he hated me and Elsa so much, he also cursed our innocent child. I certainly didn't take it when she brought Elsa over our son, so I answered the snaps, which turned out to make her even more angry, then called Ruth-" Kenna back to search and sobbed more and more, Ferdinand who saw that grabbed Kenna's hand, which made Kenna's smile rise. A smile that no one could see because he was hiding in his head. "And after Ruth came, they dragged me up the stairs, I apologized to Dinand, but Her Highness kept pushing me from there"
And Kenna's last words, made Ferdinand's hand take his hand out of Kenna's. Kenna who saw that raised her face that had been flooded with tears. Ferdinand furrowed his brows very deeply
"You said Ana pushed you?"
With complete confidence, Kenna nodded confidently
"Yes"
"You sure?"
"Of course Dinand, I even kept begging Her Highness before she deliberately pushed me like she pushed Elsa first"
Silence enveloped them for a moment, until Ferdinand without saying anything else immediately ran out of his room, even he ignored Kenna's call.
Ferdinand continued to step up to head for the stairs, where he glanced at the door of Anastasia's room, but he decided to find out another way
"Stefan!!"
After repeatedly shouting out Stefan, with the tergopo-gopo Stefan came even using different footwear, his gray hair still looked wet
"Sorry Your Highness. I was soaking"
"Tell me what really happened, the reality and every detail"
Stefan immediately raised his head, looking at the face of Ferdinand who was already looking at him with an unreadable look
--000--
On the other hand, George took a deep breath after reading the newly arrived letter at almost midnight Francia time. George's old hand kept massaging his throbbing temple, his face constantly grimacing. And the movement and look of the face, made Edward look at him with a worried look forced
"Are you going to get sick and die like a normal old man in general George?"
Edward's words made Carl immediately choke on his tea. George who heard that tossed the sofa pad while snorting
"I won't die until you're dead"
George's words immediately made Edward quiver
"No!!!! I don't want to be buried by you George, so please die as soon as possible"
And again, a pillow floated on Edward's head that allowed the pillow to float on him, and Edward's mouth chuckled with Carl who had been blown away. George's voice stopped their laughter
"Ana would not be able to become a nun again because Ferdinand had forced her to unite. Ruth told me"
Edward's happy face vanished, Carl who heard it snorted violently
"Well. he acts quickly according to his instincts" Carl searched, then glanced at Edward who had already rolled his eyeballs lazily. "Castalarox with all its possession instincts"
George just scratched his master's cheek that wasn't itchy, then returned to his voice
"But even so, the heart of a woman, the pride of a wife who has been severely injured even frozen will not be easy to achieve anymore" George clenched his cup as he continued his words. "Or it might never be achieved again. Forever"
Edward was silent, with Carl only staring at the night sky. After George spoke, silence broke out between them. Although the mouths of the three men there were silent, but the contents of their heads were thinking the same thought. I don't know, only the men know.

The thick midnight sky tonight looks so beautiful. The exposure of the night wind made the hand tighten his mantle while continuing to enjoy the exposure of the sea breeze is much more piercing.
The lips kept smiling staring at the sparkle of the sea water that looked like a diamond due to the moonlight. Occasionally the ship moves when the waves are a little strong but, the movement even more makes himself excited.
The spirit of each ship's wobble continues to convince him if he is really on a ship to go sailing. Sail wherever he wants, go wherever he wants.
His body was still standing at the end of the ship enjoying all the beauty of God's creation. How wonderful is the blessing of God and how lucky he is to be able to enjoy all these blessings. He gave thanks again in his heart, all gratitude because God is always good to him, even though others always tell him if he is sad. But he always felt lucky in all the ways God gave him. Like now, not everyone can enjoy the view of the night sea with you who are sailing in the middle of the sea right?
Fine rarity sounded from his mouth as his stomach felt tickled amused because of the ship that moved because of the sea obak. His innocent left hand was stretched out into the air, pointing towards the deep night sky as if it was about to achieve something. His lips smiled happily while speaking softly
"Mother....... I'm free"
That day in the second month of autumn. The leaves on the fallen tree continued to fly in the wind. Continues to fly strong to feel its freedom, even though the leaf is dry and damaged, even though the leaf has to separate from its place of origin and all the other leaves, he said, but the dried and damaged leaves were free.Flying where the wind carried them.
