Bend day.
"How are you doing?" ask Patrizia.
Viggo smiles seductively. "Are you worried about me?"
Patrizia stared flat at Viggo.
Viggo smile. "I'm fine Zia."
"..are you going?" she asked as she watched Patrizia get up from her seat.
"Hm."
"You left me alone? What if I need something later? My body is still weak Zia."
"Am I your servant?"
"Ck! At least you did it for your friend."
"I'm not your friend." after saying that Patrizia went straight from Viggo's room.
"Does that mean he thinks of me as more than just a friend?" Viggo smiled broadly.
...🍃🍃🍃...
"I don't want to go home dad, I want to be with mom." whined Liam.
"We have to go back, Liam, we'll see you later."
Today Jerome and Liam were going back to the eastern continent, Jerome could not leave his palace for too long.
"Can you come with us, Dad?"
Jerome took his breath. "alright. We'll ask mom."
...🍃🍃🍃...
Patrizia was enjoying chamomile tea while staring at the beautiful lavender flowers in the palace garden with Celia.
"Son, do you know?"
"What?"
"Sister Zello and lady Irene have formalized their relationship."
"really?"
"Yes. But, it's a secret."
"If it's a secret why you told me."
Celia scratched her non-itchy nape. "Sister don't tell anyone yes, can be chopped off my head like Zello later."
Patrizia chuckles.
"Mother." shouted Liam.
The boy ran over to Patrizia and immediately hugged her. Jerome walked behind him. Patrizia and Celia saluted Jerome.
"I'm sorry if our arrival interfered" Jerome said.
"It's not what Your Majesty" said Patrizia.
"Mom, can you come home with me?" ask Liam.
"Huh?" puzzled by Patrizia, he looked towards Jerome asking for an explanation.
"Today we're going back to the eastern continent, Liam wants the lady to come with us." Jerome explained. "Hows it? Can lady?" tanyanya.
"Can't."
No, it was not the voice of Patrizia but the voice of Oliver who had come out of nowhere, suddenly the man was already beside Patrizia.
Jerome clenched his hands as he saw Oliver's hands curled around Patrizia's slender waist.
Rex, what are you doing? Off! Inner Patrizia.
Shut up or I'll break your secret to Reonal.
Patrizia looked at Oliver. Oliver smiled back at Patrizia's sharp gaze.
"Excuse Your Majesty the emperor, you can't take a lover"
"Love?" jerome asked, cutting Oliver's words.
Jerome was certainly surprised to hear the words of Oliver as soon as Patrizia was not in a relationship with anyone.
"Yes, we just formalized our relationship last night." Oliver looked at Patrizia. "Well, baby?" Oliver's closing his body to Patrizia.
"Is that what the Grand Duke said, Lady?" ask Jerome.
"That-"
I didn't mess with my words.. Patrizia. Isn't that your real name?
"..yes it's true, Your Majesty."
Jerome let out a languid breath. A disappointed look was obvious on his handsome face but the man tried to cover it with a smile.
"Thank you Your Majesty" Oliver said as he looked at Patrizia in love.
"Then excuse me." said Jerome while holding Liam after they left.
"You really have a relationship?" asked Celia who had been silent since then, the girl still could not believe what she had heard.
Yesterday he got word that his older brother Zello was in a relationship with Lady Irene and now he knows the relationship between his idol, Patrizia and the mysterious Grand Duke.
"Do I have to prove it?" ask Oliver.
Celia nodded her head.
Cup
Oliver kissed Patrizia's lips. "Is that enough?"
Celia nodded her head stiffly. A red gush appeared on his cheek, this was the first time he had seen such a scene in person. Celia was embarrassed and envious at the same time. He wants it that way too.
"Then I'll say goodbye." said Celia nervously after the girl left by walking quickly.
"Breathe." whispered Oliver in Patrizia's ear with a hoarse voice.
"YOU!"
Cup
Oliver kissed Patrizia's lips again. Afterwards the man simply disappeared from the face of Patrizia.
Patrizia sighed harshly.
Zia, come to Viggo's room.
Patrizia immediately teleported after getting a message from Steve.
Viggo Room.
"Why?" Viggo who saw Patrizia's annoyed face.
"What?"
"You look really upset."
"No. Forget it, why call me?"
"Queen Andora plans to kill the girl who owns the holy magic rather the beggar who healed the crown prince yesterday. Right now they're looking for where he is." Steve explained.
Patrizia grinned. "alright. I'll petrify them to find the beggar."
"What are you gonna do? What's your plan?" ask Viggo.
"..don't endanger yourself, Zia." he continued worried.
Patrizia smiled smirk.
...🍃🍃🍃...
The king and queen are currently in Viggo's room.
"How are you doing now?" ask Edgar.
"It's so much better dad."
"Rest."
"Yes." Yeah."
"..dad, who did it?" tanyanya.
"Still in the investigation, we'll catch him soon."
Viggo looked towards the Andoran queen who looked very calm. As if he never made a mistake when it was clear he was the culprit. The king knew it, but he could do nothing without proof.
Queen Andora was very cunning the king had known it long ago therefore he never wanted to marry Andora. But, because of his cunning Andora managed to marry Edgar even though only a concubine. Andorra was not satisfied with that, so he planned to kill the queen by giving her poison in her tea. The poison will take the queen's life slowly.
Andorra poisoned the queen for 10 years until she died. Andorra manipulates the queen's death, and the queen is pronounced dead from illness rather than poison.
After she ascended to the throne as queen, Andora also wanted her son, Zello, to be crown prince. Andorra also poisoned Viggo. Andora did not plan to kill Viggo with the poison, the poison only left Viggo's body completely paralyzed. If Viggo is paralyzed, does he still deserve to be crown prince? Of course the answer is no. Because people will doubt Viggo's abilities. He alone was paralyzed, how could he lead this kingdom? Maybe that's what people will think.
After Viggo was paralyzed, Andora only had to incite the royal higher ups to revoke Viggo's throne as crown prince and give the throne to Zello. The plan almost succeeded but had to fail at the last moment.
Viggo learns that her mother died from being poisoned by Andora from her mother's personal servant. One month before he died, Viggo's mother knew he was poisoned by Andora and it was too late. He told all of that to his personal servants, they tried hard to find evidence but did not find it. The Queen could not accuse Andora without any evidence until she died without anyone knowing that Andora had broken her up.
Viggo also knew Andora was the one who had poisoned her to the point of being paralyzed. But Viggo can't do anything without proof. All this time he tried hard to get the evidence but it was very difficult because Andora was very sneaky.
"What are you thinking? Why are you staring at me like that?" asked Andora who was slightly disturbed by the sharp gaze Viggo gave her.
Viggo. "none. Sorry queen if I make you uncomfortable."
"It's okay." Andora smiled looking at Viggo. "Rest the crown prince, may heals soon."
"Yet you survived. It would be better if your eyes were closed forever." Andora.
Viggo smile. "Thank you for bothering to see me queen."
"He's very good at theatrics. Satisfied smile like that Andora before Zia rips your rotten mouth away." Inner Viggo.
