The Whisper Of The Sea
Vol 75
"We're separated."
Leona's voice rang out throughout the wedding hall room. It was just that Leona spoke and then threw the divorce papers at Edmund. The letter was written by Leona herself and the divorce request she had signed was in the name of the village she lived in, although it would be of no use at all, but Leona wanted to write it down and throw it in front of Edmund.
After saying those words, Leona turned around and immediately left them. Everyone was noisy, no longer whispering. Edmund takes the paper Leona throws and reads it, Leona's handwriting and divorce requests and her signature. To the left is his name and below in the name of the village chief Zaudetta.
Edmund wants to chase Leona but Sofia holds him back with all her might, she holds his hand to continue her holy vows.
"E-edmund, don't go Edmund, don't joke, we're getting married right? Come on, I-we have to continue our marriage." Edmund threw Sofia's hand and looked at her angrily.
"You think I married you because I wanted to, this is all I did for Leona." Edmund looked at him with a look of disdain. He ran towards the exit, but his mother and father came out of the guest seat, preventing Edmund from chasing after the woman. "You've humiliated Alexander's family, Edmund. Do you want to get out of Alexander's name? if you keep chasing that girl. You're out of the Alexander family." Threaten Edmund's Father.
"Then I go, Dad, goodbye." She then ran and got out of her wedding venue and ran in search of Leona.
"LISS, LEONA ....Edmund's screams rang out into the castle grounds.
Edmund checked all the horse carriages but it was empty. There was no Leona anywhere. Edmund searches for a horse inside the castle and immediately rides it and soon chases Leona.
***
While Edmund is restrained inside by the woman and her parents. Leona had already prepared her horse carriage. He immediately got into his carriage. And get out of that place.
"Goodbye to Edmund. We won't see each other again." Her speech. The horse carriage drove off the mansion. Leona's decision was taken because she could not accept the Cambridge rules, she did not want to share a husband, although Edmund said he would leave the woman, but if they were married, she said, after all, the woman had become his wife. And that doesn't make sense to Leona.
The horse carriage drove fast for quite a long time, now the horse carriage entered the residential area in the village. In the suburbs of Cambridge there are inns. Leona stops there and intends to continue her journey tonight. They must rest, and continue the journey to get to the intended village the next day.
The village was quite secluded, but he was lucky to still be able to rent a room for him in order to rest. Leona sat on the edge of the bed and exhaled her breath, she recalled how Edmund looked when he threw the letter and said he wanted to part from it.
A face of incomparably shock flashed across her face, her eyes staring directly at Leona's bead eyes. But Leona ignored him, she turned around and walked away.
"Edmund it looks like we'll never see each other again, it's my decision. Good bye." Said tired.

Edmund walked through the center of Cambridge, still wearing his tuxedo, he stared left and right, looking for a woman in a Cream dress but no one was wearing it. He got off his horse and ran to the inn. At the inn he meets Jastin and Ronald. They were shocked to see Edmund wearing a tuxedo like a groom.
"Edmund What happened, why are you dressed like that, where is Leona?" Jastin followed him from behind.
"What happened to Leona? Hey you heard me." Jastin's voice sounded rough, he held his shoulder for Edmund to explain.
"Hand your hand off "
Ronald gets in the way, "You're not going anywhere. You have to explain it to us before you leave.
Edmund gritted his teeth. "He's gone, Leona has left me. So take your hand off." He said with a murderous look.
"What did you do until Leona left you?" Edmund does not answer, he leaves in a hurry after he does not find Leona there.
Edmund rushed up on his horse, he searched for Leona in every place in Cambridge. His feelings were jumbled, angry, upset and a deep sense of loss, regret and guilt. He gulped his saliva roughly, he had to find Leona after all. He doesn't want to lose her.
You're mine, Leona. You can't leave me at all you want. I'm guilty. I just want you to come back to me.
He's faster on his horse through the streets of Cambridge, his heart's pounding, he's afraid he can't find Leona, or he's already on the ship and back on Zaudetta Island.
***
Alexander's Residence.
"Mothers. How could Edmund leave me at will. He really humiliated me and the entire Ridle family. My father is going to the palace tomorrow, maybe Edmund should get a little punishment for being rude to me and the whole Ridle family.
Lady Alexander persuaded Sofia to have a little patience, and took her to Edmund's room to make her heart better and quieter.
"Do you know whose room this is? When the woman didn't know herself, this room was Edmund's favorite. You can wait here until he comes back. After finding that foolish woman, you will still have your marriage, I will go mad in front of Edmund if he tries to run away again and obey the village woman, be patient a little more, sophia." Said Mrs Alexander while patting Sofia on the back like a caring and affectionate mother.
***
Leona had already fallen asleep for a few hours, now that she had to continue her journey, perhaps she would search for a small village for her to live in temporarily, seeking tranquility, perhaps she would find some peace, he wanted to get away from the city of Cambridge and everything that reminded him of Edmund. If he wanted to forget about it, he had to do it earnestly.
Leona got on her carriage, Laura gave a map of a village that was very suitable to live in for a while, when she was calm, she would meet her father to bring him back to the village of Zaudetta. It was only his initial plan, but if something happened, he would find his own residence in a new village.
The sun had sunk, the shadows of the trees were gradually covered by the darkness. Leona stared from a distance at the lights that lit up quite far from her carriage.
"Sir, we're going into that village." Designate it.
"But Madam, the road is muddy, and it's hard to get past a horse-drawn carriage."
"You're right, I'll be there, madam."
Their journey was still long and Leona was hoping to get some lodging to rest tonight.
***
The Farious Lawstin Inn
Two men ran into the inn in search of Captain Lawstin. Ronald finds out about Leona and Edmund, the news spreads really fast, he gets his information easily, because everyone is gossiping about what happened this morning.
"Why are you here, don't you have to spy on the pirate ship that's about to arrive."
"Captain there's a more urgent matter. Emm, we heard that Edmund Alexander was going to remarry, with a noblewoman named Sofia Ridle, because hearing of her marriage, Leona wanted to part with Edmund, she said, now Leona left Edmund and the man was looking for her everywhere." Ronald.
Captain Lewstin's eyes were instantly rounded, with his jaws tightly clenched. He hit the table hard until the table shifted.
"Why did it happen, why did the foolish Edmund want to remarry. What less than my Leon."
"Because Miss Leona is not a noble, Captain. Their marriage had not yet been formalized and Leona was not recorded as Edmund Alexander's legal wife in this city, so Edmund wanted to marry a noblewoman first, then his marriage with Leona would be recognized, he said, that's what we heard, captain."
"Omong empty. Do such regulations apply in this city?"
"Yes, captain."
Lewstin was silent, he then walked into his room and retrieved important documents from inside his drawer. After that he changed his pirate clothes with a suit and hat and then wore a traveling coat that was usually worn by noble men, he looked different.
"Captain? Where are you going?" Ask.
He fixed his folded coat and fixed his once disheveled hair.
"I'm going to the palace. Fortunately, the Empress is still in Cambridge, after all, I haven't greeted the Empress for a long time." Say it clumsily.
"Captain, what do you mean? Why do you want to go to the palace and greet him?" ronald did not understand. Although Captain Lewstin was great, but he was still a pirate, he would not be allowed into the palace at will. Captain Lewstin looked awkward, he fixed the collar of his suit.
"Don't be chatty, just prepare the best horse carriage, and take me now to the palace. I will ask for the marriage of the two of them. Are they stupid and no longer know the big name of Lewstin nobles from Chester city? Even though I am a pirate now, I am a royal noble. I am the only son of a descendant of the Lewstin nobility. I'll talk to the Empress."
***
The village was named Leaf Village, no one thought the lush and beautiful village was in the depths of the forest that is very rarely entered to the corners of the village, because the streets are damaged and full of rocks. Lucky that night Leona saw the lights from the village house, so she decided to enter the village area Leaf to stay and rest.
Leona gets the best service in a simple inn, looking very friendly to her. Even though they were amazed if there were new people entering their village. The road is difficult to pass causing people not intend to visit this beautiful village.
Leona came out of the inn house, she was walking around in the village. Colorful flowers are in every house of the villagers, besides they have a vegetable garden that is very fertile and very beautiful, the river is adjacent to the garden of the population. He climbed a little up the hill, and noticed the stunningly beautiful scenery.
"I'm sorry Laura, I'm not going to the village that you're aiming at me. I will not go to that village. This village seems more suitable for me. Other than being secluded, this village is very beautiful, they are all very friendly to me. I'm gonna start my life here." Leona said as she felt a gust of wind beating on her.
***
Edmund returns to the castle, he's been searching for Leona all night and hasn't found her. He returned to Alexander's castle because of news that his father was in trouble to get Edmund back. He went into the room and looked for them all.
The door of the Hall opened, as though people were waiting for him. "Edmund you're finally home, come quickly. The show will start soon." Miss Alexander.
Edmund looked at her wrath when he saw Sofia already wearing back her wedding dress and smiling brightly. He shook his hand that was held. "Have you forgotten the reason I wanted to marry this woman, it was all for Leona's sake. Now you think I want to get married after Leona isn't around? don't dream. It's best to break up this useless party and stop the mother's charade that always says you're seriously ill. I wouldn't let anyone call me this useless thing again."
Sofia slammed the flower she was holding. He boldly stepped in front of Edmund. "We're getting married today, even though the woman left but she's still not officially divorced with you, if she comes back, the status will still be the same, so we better get married now. If you still refuse. I'm ... I'll die for you, Edmund." Say it with a loud voice.
"Then die and go to hell, don't bother me anymore."
Edmund turned around to leave. Suddenly a messenger man from the kingdom came and saluted Edmund and the whole family.
"This is an official letter from the royal palace signed by the Empress. I hope that all members of the Alexander family listen to the letter from the Empress. They all lowered their heads while listening to the contents of the letter from the palace.
I, the Empress of this Kingdom especially in the city of Cambridge, announce that Edmund Alexander and Leona Lewstin are legally recognized by the kingdom of the North Of England, it has inaugurated the marriage of the two married noble families on the island of Zaudetta.
Everyone was amazed to hear the announcement. Edmund was shocked and asked the royal envoy for an explanation. But from the door of the Hall, Furious Lewstin and Ronald and Jastin went inside.
"Where's my Leon, Edmund." The voice echoed in the hall room. Edmund looked at him stiffly, he was speechless.
Lewstin stared in wrath at them all. "I'm Leona's real father of Lewstin royalty, I will hold you accountable if anything happens to my daughter, I've reported your actions to the kingdom. The lewstin family from Chester City will not accept this humiliation."
The man then turned his body around and immediately left from the silences of those who heard all his words. He stopped and looked back at Edmund.
"Find and find Leona, Edmund. If you don't find him. And I found Leona first. Don't expect me to let him come back to you." He left them all in a state of silence.
