The Whisper Of The Sea

Vol 69

Sunlight has illuminated the city of Cambridge, all the activities in the morning began to look busy, the waiter in the mansion was seen busy preparing breakfast and did not escape with whispers when they passed by on the road.

Edmund Alexander's mansion is not as big as his family's, they live in a castle close to the royal palace, as well as the castle residence of Lord Windsor. Even so, the mension was luxurious, elegant and beautiful as well as having a spacious garden and a fountain between the gardens.

Meanwhile, the room began to look bright as the morning sunlight had infiltrated between the sidelines of the room window and illuminated the figures of the two of them lying under the covers. Their bodies clung so tightly, for some reason they had not woken up yet, even though the sunlight had shone on their bodies.

"Ngh, it's so hot," Leona opened her eyes, she immediately looked at the handsome face that was breathing normally, there was a breath that was going up and down, her breathing could be felt on her face. Leona let go of Edmund's tight embrace, she looked extremely exhausted and turned her body against Leona's.

"Ugh, stupid Edmund, why are you like that? you didn't even make me rest for a while. Tch, my body hurts all." Leona tried to get up and walk. He took the blanket and wrapped it around his body.

His long hair unraveled and fell on his back, he looked at himself in the mirror and saw a huge change in him. Leona held both of her heated cheeks. "Why do I feel like I'm not the old me? I felt different after I married Edmund." He said as he spun in front of the mirror and shook his head while staring at some bruises on his body.

A knock sounded from outside the room door, Leona was surprised, she was looking for something that could close her, because now she clearly had finished making love with Edmund.

"Mr Edmund, I'm sorry to have interfered, but ladies and gentlemen, have been waiting at his residence, they would like to have breakfast with you." Leona stood in front of the room, but she did not want to open it because now her body was just wrapped around a blanket and it looked embarrassing. Suddenly the doorknob moved and was knocked firmly.

"Sir, it's me Rodeth, I want to tell you that the Master and Madam have been waiting for you, you'd better wake up." The voice sounded impatient, making Leona furrow her brows. Is he a waiter? why is he being so rude? even though I am from the village, I can tell the difference if he is being polite and not. Who's that woman?"

Edmund slowly opened his eyes, looking around with his hands, "Where are you Leona?" He said while trying to open his eyes wide. While Leona had walked into the bathroom, she wanted to finish getting dressed immediately, and immediately greeted Edmund's parents.

When she was done, Leona put on the clothes Edmund had provided last night, and she had ordered the waiter to bring all the beautiful dresses and take them to her private room.

"Why are you so quick to shower and get dressed?" Leona turned around and stood in front of the mirror, she had to try to perform at her best.

"I'll call the waiter to dress you up, you don't have to be busy preparing yourself, baby." Leona turned around and shrugged her shoulders.

"No need, I can do it myself, you know, I'd rather do it all myself." Leona.

Edmund gets up from his bed, he puts on a towel and walks over to Leona. "Darling, I know you're not used to all this, but you have to learn everything, including learning to serve." She held Leona's shoulder and hugged her, I'll take a shower and get ready soon."

Edmund goes into the bathroom, while Leona is still staring at him, she looks beautiful and natural, although makeup is not too visible on her face, her long hair she braided into a beautiful shape.

"Mm, I think this is enough, Huuf, I don't need to be afraid, I've been here. Because I'm with Edmund now, I'm gonna face it all."

"What would a wife and daughter-in-law do if she had just been married? I don't know what the culture in this town is." Leona.

After Edmund finished bathing, Leona helped Edmund get ready by taking the clothes he would wear, as well as buttoning his shirt and choosing a suit for him, he looked for the same color.

"Hmm, good idea, usually Rodeth prepares everything for me, he's one of the servants who prepares my clothes every day."

"really? So, she's in your room all the time and watching you get dressed?" Said Leona while raising her eyebrows.

"What's this question because you're jealous? She's just a waitress, baby. Every nobleman has a servant who prepares the needs of his master." Leona snorted not liking to hear it. A knock was heard outside the door, Edmund opened it. A woman was standing there, wearing a black and white uniform.

"Sir, are you done? since I've been knocking, I want to prepare your clothes." His eyes were fixed on Leona, who was standing behind Edmund.

"From today on, you don't have to prepare my clothes, because my wife wants to prepare them herself, next time if she tells you to, then you just have to do it." Edmund.

"But sir, it has been a long time since I prepared all your needs, I have become accustomed to it." He said that while looking down sad.

"Now there's no need, I didn't say my orders a second time, did you hear that? you can go." The waiter's eyes immediately rounded, Leona could see the face of the woman who was being heartbroken. He looked down for a moment as if he was about to cry and immediately withdrew.

"This guy. Tch how many women have broken hearts? even the waiter looked angry when he saw me." Leona muttered.

Edmund turned around and extended his hand to Leona. "We're leaving now, they can't wait for us." Edmund said with a smile. Leona clucked and held her hand.

***

Alexander Castle, residence of the Alexander family.

The two of them arrived at the castle belonging to Edmund's master, Leona had since noticed Edmund, he looked uncomfortable to go to the castle, what was he thinking?

"Your condition looks bad, you're pale Ed." Leona.

"Mm, maybe because last night I cut back on my sleep, I can't see you lying around without my touch." Edmund said, holding his hand tightly.

"Why in your head is that all you think about?" Leona rested her head on Edmund's arm.

"We're going to have breakfast, so far?" Mumbled.

"Hehe, baby, what do you think?"

"Mm, it's quite interesting, and I can meet your parents." Leona said, Her face suddenly turned cold.

Leona looked back at him, What's with that expression? why does not the face like to radiate again from his face.

"Tch, your servant is very strong gossip, are they not working? look at their eyes, why are they looking at me like that?" Leona muttered, Edmund chuckled when he saw her muttering as they walked. As Edmund expected Leona was not easily intimidated by this new atmosphere, she looked strong, and very sweet, blatantly Edmund pulling Leona's waist and giving a kiss on her cheek. Seeing that some of the maids looked happy and said they were very suitable and looked romantic. But unfortunately not all the joy was in being their happiness.

Roudeth the maid's name, he saw her with dangerous sharp eyes, he did not like to see his young master with the village girl.

"We'll see, how our new Madam will face young Mistress Alexander, I can't wait to see her."

A servant sneered, "Roudeth, try to look in the mirror and look at your face, it's terrible. Now this on your face looks so jealous, why are you jealous? You're just a waitress, it's just that you're lucky to set Mr. Edmund's clothes on, if only he knew what feelings you had on him, he'd be disgusted and kick you right now." Said the waiter named Oval, he crouched while biting a carrot, this one waiter is famous for his spicy mouth.

"You ! how dare you." Snarled.

"What's? am I wrong?" Cuek.

He then stood up and left the servant in anger.

***

Sitting in the dining room, Edmund greets the many people in the castle, some of the royal members who stop by and his acquaintance soldiers who pause and congratulate him.

"For Edmund and Lady Edmund." Said Kenan who approached the two of them, his gaze fell on Leona, he was about to take her hand and kiss the back of Leona's hand. Leona's eyes were rounded, she hit her forehead hand with a reflex movement.

"What's this pervert doing?" Leona said as she pulled her hand and held Edmund's chest tightly. As Edmund laughed, he almost bowed because he was laughing. Kenan looked at Edmund, waiting for his laughter to stop.

"Darling, you know very well the man who should be called a pervert." Edmund.

He ignored Edmund who was still chuckling then looked at Leona with a polite smile, "I'm sorry, but that's a salute to you." Saying Kenan while explaining.

"Is that really Edmund." Ask Leona. Edmund stopped his laughter.

"He's right baby, but even if it's a natural greeting in this country, I won't let anyone else touch your hand, won't." Edmund said commemorating kenan.

Kenan chuckles, only this time Edmund looks very possessive with his woman, he is really very changed. "It looks like this beautiful woman who's lucky to melt your heart like that stone." Kenan.

"Yes, you're right. Just Leona the jewel in my heart, she melted my ice-hard heart."

Leona forcibly removed her hand, pretending to vomit from Edmund's words, "Don't touch me if you talk like that, I'm nauseous." Leona said away from Edmund and snorted.

Edmund instead laughed out loud, he knew Leona did not like such a remark, "Don't get close, my legs can still kick even though I'm wearing a dress like this, Edmund." Leona told Edmund.

Kenan stared at Edmund's happy face, he looked very different from Edmund's old, his eyes full of love when he looked at the woman. Kenan smiled at the two of them.

"It looks like you should go in, your mom and dad are waiting for you inside." Kenan.

"Ah, fuck ! you're right, we need to get in Ed." Leona said as she pulled her hand. Edmund laughed once more, and held Leona's hand. Kenan was shocked when he heard Leona's curse.

They finally entered the castle of the Alexander family. The butler and the rest of the servants saluted the arrival of the two of them. Leona could feel the eyes on her. He could finally see Edmund's parents sitting there talking, they realized the arrival of Edmund and Leona.

"We've been waiting since, I've called you three times to get you to the castle." Said the Woman sitting there, Leona looked at him directly, she furrowed her brows.

Why did Edmund's face turn cold again, and it seemed that the woman was a little young if she became Edmund's mother, who was she?

"You're late Edmund, your grandmother was waiting for you for breakfast, she didn't eat just to wait for you." Said the old man coldly.

His face was a little similar to Edmund, what was this atmosphere? it seems Edmund is uncomfortable with them.

"Well, I didn't eat because I wasn't waiting for Edmund, I was late for breakfast, so stop talking and we start eating." The old woman looked towards Leona.

Knowing she was in sight, Leona lowered her head giving a salute to the old woman. Leona stared at the knife, fork and spoon placed side by side.

Tch, why are so many cutlery used? we're just having breakfast.

"Oh yes, Miss Lewstin, can you please explain which island you are from and how you live on that island?" Said the woman who was always staring towards Leona in the most demeaning way. Leona knew very well this kind of model woman, she was very similar to Madame Marshmille, arrogant and judged the person with the lowest view when compared to her. To deal with a woman like this, there is only one way to strike back.

"I come from the island of Zaudetta, in the village of Zaudet, you know the island that is famous and haunted among pirates? they were even scared to our island, but when I was fishing, I saw Edmund being stranded, so I helped him, and he was living in my house. I live like any other villager, gardening and fishing, and even Edmund takes vegetables with me, right, Ed?" Leona said as she patted her back as she laughed.

He then whispered in Leona's ear, "It's not that you steal in people's gardens." He said while holding a smile. Leona pinched her thigh telling her to be quiet. Edmund's grandmother had been watching them both,

Ck the boy, he now looks happy, he never smiled like that, especially in front of his father and stepmother, who is this girl, who changed my granddaughter like this?

Mistress Alexander did not like Leona's attitude, she was speechless, but in her head was full of plans.

Edmund's grandmother also did not escape to notice that the woman looked at Edmund's wife, she was indeed the brother of Edmund's mother who married Edmund's father, but the woman was only his half-brother, she was the woman who removed Edmund's biological mother until she became ill and eventually died.
