The Whisper Of The Sea
Vol 67's
"E-Edmund?"
After the horse carriage's departure, Leona looked in great shock. He was still standing there staring at his disappearance.
"It turns out he's been telling the truth, he's a member of the royal family." Leona.
Jastin looked at Leona. "Do you know all this Leona? is it true that Edmund was a member of the royal family?" He said as he looked at Leona who was still dumbfounded.
"He .. always said about the soldiers and the kingdom, but I did not think that what he said was true. " Say Leona Shock.
"So how now?" Ask.
"Of course I'll try to see him, we've arrived here, however I'll see him." Jastin took a breath and ruffled his waist. "This incident was completely unexpected."
***
Since the arrival of Edmund who was delivered to his residence made the whole family of Alexander excited, they were very happy and happy with the return of Edmund, they welcomed Edmund with joy, as well as Lord Windsor who heard that Edmund had returned to his Mansion, he immediately picked him up to meet the Empress, after which they set off for Lord Windsor Castle.
"We must make a big party about your arrival Edmund, we must welcome and thank you for coming home safe."
"Yes, uncle." Said Edmund while holding the ring he wore. He recalled that when their wedding ring was bought at the market, it came from an antique seller, a pair of white rings with a star on the inside and engraved on the names of both of them, he had deliberately told the blacksmith that was in the village to carve it. She still remembered Leona's happy face when she received the ring. Edmund suddenly smiled.
"You okay, Ed?" Kenan. He noticed Emdund's attitude had changed. He looked calm, and more silent as if thinking of something important.
"I miss my Leon." Her speech.
They both turned around, Mr. Windsor and Kenan.
"Who's Leona?" Ask.
"She's my wife, I met Leona on Zaudett Island, she helped me and I stayed at her house, after which we got married." Edmund said to them.
"I assume I didn't hear it Edmund, you are a royal family, your bloodline should be clear, the woman who will marry you should be of clear descent and come from a noble."
"Whatever uncle said, but now I'm married." Edmund. Mr. Windsor and Kenan stared at each other. Edmund's attitude changed drastically with the old Edmund. He looks more mature and not angry like before who always behaves as he wants. Even though the woman was far away, she still maintained it, and it was not Edmund's style.
"So how now? Do you want to go back to the island, you know going to the island is very dangerous."
"Let's go back anyway, uncle. I won't let Leona alone in there." Edmund said firmly.
***
Leona had just finished her bath, now that she was in the inn room. Then he sat down on the bed. "What am I supposed to do? She now lives happily with her family, but I have to see her at all costs." Leona. He took a breath and then exhaled it. He then lay down.
"Does he still remember me?" Leona muttered. His eyes were heavy and he fell asleep.
~
"Your daughter's face was devastated when she found out who Edmund really was, her face looked in shock." Ronald told captain Lewstin.
He seemed to think hard how to contact Edmund. "I'll try to reach out to him and tell Edmund that Leona is in this town, however she should know." Lewstin.
***
The next morning, a big party announcement will be held at Mr. Windsor's residence. The party was held to welcome the return of Alexander's sole heir who they thought had died and finally returned. The feast will be attended by the royal Empress in the country, who is none other than Edmund's own aunt.
The Windsor family residence looks very busy, although Edmund's parents want his celebration held in his own residence which is also not less large than the castle owned by Lord Windsor. But Lord Windsor insisted on holding it in his castle.
Since last night Edmund could not sleep, he always looked at the stars in the sky and looked for the stars belonging to Leona who he gave while in the village of Zaudett.
"Alpa Centaurus."
"My brightest star like you, Leona, wait. I'll definitely be back." Edmund.
That night at one of the inns, a woman opened the window and also stared at the brightest star up there, "Aldebaran. I'll see you in a minute."
***
The night looked different than usual, sparkling lights and lanterns were inlaid in the castle owned by Lord Windsor, the invitations began to arrive with each of the great nobles of the royal family. Moreover, the Empress would come directly to attend the welcoming party of Edmund, her nephew.
"You look uninspired, don't just stand there a lot of noble princesses staring at you, they're kind of hoping for you." .
Edmund raised his eyebrows. "They're after you too, Kenan, so far you're not married, let alone your age is older than me, at least I'm married and have Leona." Edmund.
"Tch, you're so cocky after marriage. I want to see how she looks, is she as pretty as Laura Scarlet Hoult? You were after him."
"That was, now I have Leona." Edmund.
"Looks like Leona's influence is big enough for you Edmund, she can change your attitude and your ugly nature." Said Kenan while patting his back.
"Look, who's coming, Sean Nicholas Hoult and Laura Scarlett Hoult, as usual her beauty no one's matched my niece's." Kenan. Edmund turned his gaze and looked at the two of them.
"Mm, maybe but my Leon is prettier for me." Edmund.
"Tch, you've been blinded by Leona." Said while shaking. They both came to Edmund and congratulated him.
"Hi Edmund we are so glad to hear of your arrival, I have not thanked you, for saving me." Sean said, Laura smiled and congratulated him.
"Don't think about it, we should help each other, right?" Edmund said with a sincere smile, he reached out his hand and shook Sean's hand. There were no more hostile eyes on her face, nor did she look at Laura. Her face was still as beautiful as it used to be, but that feeling had now been different and changed, now she only considered them part of the Windsor family.
"EMPRESS HAS ARRIVED."
"Edmund. I can finally see you again. I'm so glad to hear you're coming. We're all happy with your presence."
"Thank you, your honor, I will always remember your attention." Edmund said while saluting him.
"I'm so happy with your arrival, I'm busy looking for a girl who suits you, Edmund. You are still alone until now, at the age of 34 years it is natural to have someone who loves you with all his heart. For that I want to introduce the beautiful girl who is the daughter of the Riddle nobility. Sofia Riddle. Come here Sofia."
A beautiful girl with an alluring charming face, her wavy blonde hair fell beautifully on her back, she gave her smile to Edmund. Seeing who the woman wanted to be in a match, Edmund then snorted and he did not cover it. Kenan who stood at the end there laughed, because he knew who Sofia Riddle was, since long ago he chased after Edmund, even he told his father to make Edmund his fiancee. Edmund looked at the Empress, he then stood up and spoke to her.
"Thank you for the noble kindness, but I cannot accept the noble kindness this time, because I am married. I already have a wife named Leona Lewstin, and I intend to pick her up and introduce her to the whole family." Edmund said without a shudder.
All were silent, as was the Empress who was confused by Edmund's words. His face was slightly frowning. "You're married? But when's your wedding." Ask.
"The long glorious story, I will personally tell you about my marriage, so I apologize for rejecting the noble kindness."
"Ah, of course Edmund, there should be someone to tell you about your wedding, next time you should introduce it to me." He said without the slightest problem. While Sofia's face had turned red from embarrassment, this was the third time her request had been rejected. This time she will not give up, when Edmund disappears she survives unmarried for waiting for this moment to arrive, which is to become Edmund's legal wife.
"Forgive the grace of the noble Servant, should not Sir Edmund take his wife now to this feast, he should introduce her to all of us. What if we wait until this party is over, if until then Mr. Edmund's wife does not come then, I can apply to be the next wife, how?" He said with a triumphant smile.
Empress's face looked puzzled, she looked at Edmund. "How Edmund is, it all depends on you."
Edmund curled his lips, an evil smile was seen on his face. "Excuse the noble Servant, but why should I follow the ridiculous terms of this lady." He said, making the guests hold their breath, he knew the emotions of young master Alexander famously burst forth.
"Are you afraid Mr. Edmund, your imaginary wife will not come?" He said with a triumphant smile.
"Not that, but I don't want to marry a j4lang, I choose who my wife is.not a girl who is touched by any man." Edmund sharply said.
"Germund !" Beware of his aunt while shaking her head. Even so her aunt smiled slightly, she knew well this niece of hers, she hated being set up by anyone the most. Whispers were heard throughout the room. Edmund looked relaxed and did not feel guilty at all.
"Sorry, my Empress did not accept my daughter being insulted by Mr. Alexander in front of the entire British nobility, insulting my daughter was tantamount to insulting the Riddle family." Said a man who was none other than the father of Soffia Riddle. Her face looked pale, it was common knowledge among noble men if this Riddle Princess played love with noble men to satisfy her desires.
"Edmund, shouldn't you say something to Mr Riddle?" His aunt gave him a warning.
"She had to apologize with her words first, the woman was so presumptuous as to threaten me in front of the crowd." Edmund shrugged his shoulders. Empress exhaled her breath. "Then I want you to take your wife right now, so I know you're telling the truth, because you've always refused matchmaking from your parents and your grandmother."
Edmund was speechless as to how he could take Leona right now, while he was on the island of Zaudetta. "How about Edmund, don't you have any other reason? otherwise, I as your aunt will find you a girl who suits you.
"As I said aunt, give me time and ....,
"DRUNT ....
The shout made everyone turn around and look at a beautiful woman who had just entered and stood before the entrance. Edmund turned around and looked at the beautiful girl with her caramel brown hair walking slowly towards him. A beautiful white dress with soft gold dangling swept across the floor.
"L-Leona?" He muttered, he could not move at all because so surprised, the beautiful girl was running towards him and instantly he jumped up and hugged Edmund in front of everyone.
"Edmund I miss you so much ...."
Flashbacks
When the big party was about to be held at the residence of lord Kent Windsor, two men stood there, staring from a distance as people began to get busy and several noble families had already arrived at the castle of lord Windsor.
"Where's Leona, Ronald?" Captain Lewstin asked, staring at the huge castle before his eyes.
"He was at the inn, captain, with his friend Jastin."
"Find the most expensive dress shop in town that can turn my daughter into a noblewoman, I don't care what the price is, just find her and bring Leona to her, she's ready for tonight."
"Good Captain."
Ronald goes to the inn and looks for Leona, he then takes her to the city's famous designer.
"Why are we here?" Tanya Leona entered the famous and most expensive store in the city. Seeing her magnificent shop alone made Leona reluctant to enter.
"There's no time to explain, you need to get ready right away." Ronald. A woman stared arrogantly at them and asked about their arrival in her shop.
"Dress this girl in the best dress you have and turn her into a noblewoman." Ronald's words left Leona and Jastin agape at hearing him.
"Ronald, what the hell do you have to plan." Leona said in a whisper.
"You need gold coins to change it, our dresses and accessories are notoriously classy and not just anyone will wear them."
"Find the most expensive dress and make her as beautiful as possible, you must know captain Lewstin from the south, right?" Said Ronald while raising one eyebrow. Suddenly, the woman's expression changed drastically.
"A-ah of course, whatever it is we're gonna do, this way Miss."
"He should be ready tonight." Ronald.
"By the way I'm going to Ronald." Leona looked at him sharply.
I'll take you to him, so don't be noisy and follow that madam, we'll pick you up when you're done.
After dismantling her latest collection that had just arrived from the opposite country, she finally found the most expensive exquisite dress among all the others. Beautiful white dress combined with gold and classy models make Leona amazed.
"We have to make you as beautiful as possible, miss. We don't have much time." After hours of dressing Leona who made herself exhausted just because of the dress up, starting from all over her body and skin and makeup and hair and now she is ready. The night had come, Ronald and Jastin had been waiting for Leona to bring her a horse carriage.
"Ck, for so long, why do women take so long when they have to dress up? Aren't they tired of boredom?"
"Hey I'm ready." Said Leona just coming out of the middle door, she was standing in front of the two of them who suddenly pecked and gasped at the beauty of the woman in front of her.
