The Whisper Of The Sea

Vol 83

The woman ate hastily, she tried not to attract the attention of the people, she wanted to go straight back, wanted to take the expensive plant and if she was lucky, she could sell it back at a great price.

After eating, the waiter walked leisurely as usual, he looked at anyone who saw him with a suspicious look. He also had to be careful because the butler suspected him and watched him.

"They won't be watching me all the time, do they not have a job following me?" He said while looking at the people around him.

He walked away from them all and went to the back of the mansion, all the trash gathered there. Maurin checked it and searched the pot he had placed. There was an ornamental flower pot there, he walked over and picked it up. He was surprised because the flowers he took were very different from his own. "Damn it, it looks like I'm in a trap." Said the waiter, he slammed the flower pot to shreds and was about to run.

"Do you now admit that the one who put the poisonous flower is you, Maurin?" The butler and the other servants gathered there staring at him sharply.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Furious the woman. He slammed the flower pot in front of them without fear.

"The evidence is there, what other words do you want to say, Maurin?"

"I just saw this pretty flower in the garbage dump, so I picked it up, so why? Is that wrong?" Said evasive.

The sound of footsteps made them all turn around. Edmund stood there with a face of wrath.

"T-your gentlemen are here? I would like to report about the butler who tried to slander me with all his senseless remarks, not me who put this flower in Mrs Varya's room." Her speech.

"You want to say you're innocent? everything you do puts Miss Leona in danger, let alone her being pregnant." Edmund stepped forward because once again the woman looked at him without the slightest fear, as if she had gone mad. One loud slap landed on his cheek, they were all shocked instead of playing.

The woman was sitting on the ground, she did not expect that her own master had slapped her until she fell down like that.

"How dare you do something that harms my wife, are you tired of living? how dare you stay in my mansion. Arrest this woman and put her in the capital's prison."

"Good sir."

The woman thrashed with all her might wanting to break free from their grip. "Master, I'm not the one. I just followed Mrs Alexander's orders to finish off Lady Leona. Sir, you can't put me in jail. I have a child waiting for me at home. Sir, help me."

"You should have thought that way before you did your evil deed Maurin." Said the butler while shaking his head. They dragged Maurin with all their might, there was a maurine voice screaming hysterically in the presence of all the people inside the mansion.

***

Leona watched all that, the waiter who was screaming hysterically with a firm grip on his right and left hand. Leona came out of her garden and saw the woman struggling with all her might.

"Mrs, help me. It wasn't me who did it. I'm just doing what Mrs Alexander told me, she wants you not to have a descendant of the Alexander family, Madam. Help me." Help me."

They continued to drag him out of the mansion, forcing him into a horse-drawn carriage and locking him inside. The horse-drawn carriage was now heading towards the capital.

"You seen him?" The voice made Leona turn around. Edmund hugged her so she wouldn't stare at the woman.

"I'm fine, Edmund. You're too worried, on Zaudet Island I often witness things like this. Don't think the woman's behavior makes me sad. I wouldn't be sad just for people like them." Leona muttered.

Edmund's eyes turned to Leona's dirty hands. He took his handkerchief and cleaned it. "We go inside, the air will be cold soon." Leona nodded her head.

The woman was humming in the garden, holding her nine-month-old belly. Every day is a day of happiness for Leona and Edmund. Without experiencing any horrific events or incidents involving Alexander's family. Every day is normal as usual. Ever since Leona was pregnant, day by day, Edmund had always been by her side, she had not left Leona alone, she had even asked Sean for them to meet once in a while, and had tea with his wife Laura.

Leona asked about the details of the pregnancy, as well as the painful labor process, but with an experienced Laura explanation. Moreover, Laura was now pregnant with her third child, making Leona a little relieved. He could ask Laura anything.

***

Leona's birth preparations had already reached their peak. Two midwives and one doctor and the other nurse had been in a special room in their mansion, though Edmund's father insisted that Leona be taken to the castle but Edmund refused, he already believed in the servants in his mansion compared to his father's castle which was filled with many servants belonging to his stepmother.

Leona had been in the delivery room, while her family waited together in the waiting room. Leona's father and her in-laws were also present. The entire servant greeted the little prince who was soon born. Edmund stood up anxiously, and he had been pacing back and forth with his fingers.

"What time does it start?" Ask.

"More soon, sir."

The men were not allowed to approach the delivery room, even though it was her own husband, who was there were only a few nurses and midwives who would help with the birth process.

***

"Why is it so long?" Edmund was panicked and angry.

"Sir, you better sit quietly, don't panic. Madam will be fine" said the butler as he brought tea to all those who were waiting for him trying to calm them all down.

He followed the advice of the butler and waited quietly. Waiting to make Edmund impatient, he wiggled his legs, then stood back up and peered into the delivery room, trying to figure out what was happening. There was the sound of Leona groaning and her screams being held back. Edmund told the butler to look at his situation. "Sir, Lady Leona is struggling, I beg you to calm down, sir. So that Lady Leona can do well."

After waiting for a long time that seemed to strangle him, Edmund suddenly stood up when he heard the sound of a baby crying loudly.

"T-master, master's boy. Congratulations Mr. Alexander, Lady Leona gave birth to a handsome son." Said the waiter running around as he had just gotten information from one of the nurses.

"really?" She rushed to Leona's maternity room. Appearing a pale face with sweaty forehead, Leona looked exhausted. Edmund kissed his forehead. "Rest baby, I'm here." whispered Edmund, wiping off the sweat on his forehead.

Furious Lewstin, who was also there, was very happy with the presence of his granddaughter, he looked at the tiny baby in the baby box that was beside his mother's bed.

"Do you mind if I give you a name for my granddaughter?" Lewstin looked at Leona and Edmund.

"Of course we're so happy dad." Leona. Hearing Leona call him father without awkward, there was something that felt stuck in his throat, "Alright, I as his grandfather will give a name to my first grandson, Traian, meaning brave knight, I found that name in one book while I was on the ship." Deheman's voice sounded from behind him.

"I also want to give a name to my grandson. I'm his grandfather from Alexander's family will give Marc a name that means man like war." Proudly said. Edmund looked at the two of them in despair.

"Why does my son's name have any meaning about warfare? I don't want him to be in danger on the battlefield." Edmund disagreed with his grandfather's giving.

"I like it." Leona smiled weakly, so her name was Traian Marc Alexander, called Trai or Ian." Leona.

"I'll call him Traian." Edmund said as he looked at his sleeping baby.
