The Whisper Of The Sea
Vol 73s
"Congratulations Sofia, Edmund consented to the conditional marriage, soon you'll be his wife."
Leona heard the congratulation that was addressed to Sofia, making her stunned, she stood there like a statue. Edmund's face looked stiff. Sofia smiled happily getting congratulations from everyone. Leona clenched her hands tightly, she did not want to cry, she had to talk to Edmund. I wanted to crush the excitement on the faces of the two women. His entire family gathered together and congratulated them both.
"What's in Edmund's head." Leona. He listens to the announcement of Edmund's wedding announced by Viss' butler.
Some of the maids were happy and some of the servants disagreed. "I'm not surprised this will happen, just look at Mr. Timmy with his wife, he married a woman who is not a noble, but because his wife's status has not been recognized, so Mr. Timmy had to remarry with noble women, since then the family relationship was chaotic, there was no happiness in their marriage, no happiness in their marriage, so what's the point of pinning a last name for a wife he loves when her husband marries another woman." The waiter snorted.
"You hear? the wedding will be held in a week, we'll see how Lady Leona reacts, they'll definitely have a big fight." Said the waiter. Leona left the castle alone. He thought of all the words of the servant.
so what's the point of pinning a last name for a wife he loves when her husband is married to another woman.
Leona continued to think about it, when she arrived at the mansion, the clock had shown at 11 pm, Leona immediately changed the dress she wore and put on her own clothes, she was in the dressing room next to her own room, she was in the dressing room, at the moment Leona does not want to see Edmund's face, she wants to be alone and think about what decision she will take.
Leona locked the room. He then lay on the sofa. Leona heard the sound of Edmund's hurried footsteps. The door of the room opened and closed, a cry from Edmund called out to him.
"LEONA, WHERE'S LEONA?" There were footsteps running and several servants facing Edmund.
Leona hid behind the dresses, she heard all the servants on the call and faced Edmund.
"WHY DON'T YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE MS. LEONA IS, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ! WHO IS IN CHARGE OF PREPARING FOOD, WHY IS THERE NOT A SINGLE MEAL ON THE TABLE !!
"Forgive us sir, we heard Mr. Alexander was sick and we all headed there out of worry and had no time to prepare anything, at that time Madam had not woken up so we ..."
There was a loud slap on the servant's face. They were all surprised.
"All of you I fired. Lift your feet from the Alexander family. Viss set up a new waiter, find them immediately and replace them all."
"Good sir."
The servants immediately set foot that night also from the mansion, there was a flurry of people late in the night like this, both the guards and the servants were all looking for Leona.
"Sir, maybe Miss Leona stayed at Madam Laura's house, because yesterday they had a walk and they promised to meet again and leave for the museum, maybe because Mrs Leona's night was staying there." Said the butler.
"Are you sure Viss." she asked.
"I'll head to Mr. Hoult's residence and look for Mrs Leona." Her speech.
"no need. I'll go there, one more thing, tell the waiter and the guard, no one tells Miss Leona about the fucking wedding, the wedding will be live next week and after that Leona will officially become Lady Alexander, my marriage with Sofia is just a formality, after marriage I will leave the woman, she said, so better not tell her."
"Good sir."
***
Leona wiped away her tears, "I hate you all, I hate you Edmund, I don't need your fucking Alexander's name, I don't need it. I just want you to be the way you used to be, like we were on Zaudetta Island." Leona muttered her tears while looking at the stars in the sky.
After a day of crying, Leona fell asleep on the sofa, and after a night of searching for her, she finally found Leona in the dress room, she fell into a deep sleep. Edmund carried her and took her to their bedroom. Edmund stared at Leona all night, he hugged her, he realized that for days, they had not spent time together. Moreover, in a moment she would marry that woman, if Leona knew, she would probably foil the marriage, but it was the only way that Leona was to be included in the list of the Alexander family and be recognized by the kingdom.
***
Leona deliberately lingered for a long time, although Edmund had been sitting next to her waiting for her to wake up. He didn't want to talk to Edmund. He wants to be alone and think clearly. Because Leona did not wake up, Edmund finally left for work, before he stopped by the castle to warn his mother to stop disturbing Leona.
Leona opened her eyes, she then woke up and took a shower. After she finished her bath, two servants helped her with her clothes and combed her hair.
Leona went down to the first floor. Two servants had been standing there with butler Viss. "Mrs good morning, please have breakfast, we have prepared your favorite breakfast."
Leona did not answer him, she continued to inhabit them all. "Oh yes this is the amount of money given by Mr. Edmund, if only you would like to shop today outside." Leona stared at the golden pouch, she only smiled cynically when she saw it. He ate in silence, without saying anything to them.
Today Leona wanted to take a walk alone, she did not need bodyguards to accompany her. "Prepare the horse carriage."
"Good Mistress."
Leona went to the centre of Cambridge alone and stopped at one of the crews.
"Leona."
He turned around and saw Jastin and Ronald having breakfast at one of the restaurants near the city.
"What are you doing here?" Leona asked, he sat between them.
"We are at work, you do not know that the pirate is not just at sea, but he works as a scout and a giver and seller of information, he said, so don't get me wrong if we just sit here all day and look like we didn't do anything." Ronald.
"You okay? what about your husband?" Ask Jastin.
"certain. We're fine." Leona said bitterly, she tried to cover up her sadness.
Leona spends time with the two of them, this time Leona laughs listening to Ronald's jokes, she tells her story while at sea with captain Lewstin.
Until the afternoon comes, Leona does not leave, she stays with the two of them. "Hey Leona, aren't you coming home? what if Edmund's looking for you." Jastin.
"He's busy, he'll be home when it's late, soon I'll be home too." He was still laughing listening to Ronald's jokes.
The carriage from the palace had just passed by, Kenan saw Leona sitting down and conversing with two men.
"Edmund, isn't the woman sitting there your wife Leona?" Edmund looked at him from a distance, he was seen laughing with Jastin and Ronald.
"Stop."
"You guys got into a fight?" Ronald said astonishedly, Ugh, I hate awkward situations like this the most, then we go, see you later."
"We're home." Said Edmund holding Leona's hand, but Leona hit him, she did not want to be held by him.
"I can go home by myself, why don't you go back with your friends. I want to be alone." Leona said, she passed Edmund and got on her waiting carriage at the end of the road. Edmund followed where Leona went.
They boarded the horse-drawn carriage together, since Leona was silent, even looking at Edmund he did not want to.
"I'm sorry, Leona, I promise I'll get my job done quickly and we can get back together, dad's not feeling well so I'll handle the whole job. I can't ignore Dad's job. I didn't tell you because you'd be hurt by mom if you went to the castle." Edmund tries to persuade Leona.
But it's a pity that Edmund's every utterance doesn't make Leona go back to what she used to be, she has felt the distance between the two of them, Leona who gives that distance, he didn't let Edmund hold it or touch Leona's hand.
***
They arrived at the Mansion, just as Madam Alexander had been standing before the door of the mansion, her face beaming as she waited for their arrival. "My son-in-law just got home? Tonight we're having a banquet to welcome Edmund's father's recovery, I'm coming to call my daughter-in-law Leona."
Leona just stared at him, no happy expression or question regarding Emdund's father. "I'll get ready." After saying that he left them both.
"The woman wasn't even surprised to hear your father's recovery, what daughter-in-law she was." Mrs Alexander said.
Leona enters the dressing room, she takes off her dress and the two maids help her find another dress suitable for the dinner party. The door of the room opened, he told the two maids to come out.
"What's wrong with you, Leona, why you've been quiet ever since, why are you getting away from me." Her speech. Leona took off the jewelry she wore.
"Nothing, I'm just tired." The answer.
"If you're tired, don't force yourself to come to the party tonight, you know how abusive mom's attitude is and treats you badly, she'll definitely do something." Emdund looked tired.
"Of course I'll come, at least I'll come to celebrate your father's recovery." Mumbled. She then put on makeup and lipstick regardless of where Edmund was standing behind her.
Leona walked over and passed Edmund just like that, her hands held tightly by Edmund.
"You changed Leona." Edmund.
Leona smiled obliquely. "You turned me like this, take your hands off me." He jerked Edmund's hand and immediately walked towards the bottom floor.
All three were in the horse carriage. Since then Edmund's mother continued to tell stories, while Leona just stared out the window not paying attention to him. Edmund leaned his elbow against the window, and watched Leona from earlier.
They arrived at the castle quickly, Leona got off the carriage and walked behind Mrs Alexander, she was unwilling to even hold Edmund's hand when she offered her hand as she got off the horse carriage.
The dinner was filled by Alexander's family, he stood guard beside Leona, if only someone dared to mock her again. But that was beyond Edmund's estimation. His entire family welcomed Leona and treated her well, he took Leona to sit down and invited her to a chat.
Of course Leona knew why they were acting this way, it was because soon Edmund married Sofia and the title of Leona as Edmund's legal wife Alexander would soon be inaugurated by the kingdom, soon his status would rise, and soon his status would rise, and he'll be an important person in Alexander's family.
That very night, Sofia Ridle also came, as if Mrs Alexander wanted to bring the two of them together, so that they had a good relationship, they sat opposite each other.
"Ah, Mrs Alexander how are you, we haven't seen each other in a long time." Sofia said with a smile.
"Yes, we haven't seen each other in a long time, but you still look like the usual j4lang." Everyone is silent.
"What are you saying !" Snapped Edmund's mother.
Leona was still sitting quietly staring at those who were hostile towards her. The woman stood up very angrily, she threw the glass towards Leona but she dodged it and hit the butler Viss standing behind her. Leona stood up and threw a drink on her face.
As soon as the woman came to Leona and slapped her, Leona did not wait long, she hit the girl's face right on the cheek with her fists, so she fell down and bled out from her nose. As things go awry, Edmund attempts to pull Leona out of the castle, but suddenly her father returns to his heart and wants to faint, a flurry of sight around Edmund's father, and the, Leona looked at them all with hate and immediately left the castle alone.
***
Leona came home on foot. He knew coming home to the mansion was very far away on foot, but he did not see his horse carriage, and he was reluctant to look for it.
Suddenly the horse-drawn carriage stopped beside him, "Leona? What are you doing walking around here all by yourself?" The voice made Leona look at him. He was Kenan, Edmund's family and good friends.
"What happened, why did you come home on foot?"
Leona just shrugged her shoulders. "Erm can I ask for help?" Her speech.
"Of course, what's up?"
"I want to see Lady Laura, can you take me there?"
"Of course, but what about Edmund? he'll be looking for you." Leona smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry she's busy taking care of her family." Leona got into the car and that night she was escorted to Laura's residence.
After a 20-minute ride, their horse-drawn carriage arrives and Kenan immediately enters and searches for Laura. Leona waited at her doorstep while watching the beautiful garden in the mansion.
"Whose name?"
Leona turned around and saw a little boy about 6 years old standing there looking at her questioningly.
"My name is Leona and I'm a friend of your mother's, good night."
"Good night, please come in Miss, it's cold outside." Mark said politely. That night Leona stayed at Laura's residence, as she did not want to meet Edmund and wanted to think things through until she made an important decision in her life.
