A Demon Duchess
11. the red eyes

It's been a week since Althea has been serving Alvaro's prison sentence all day just staring at the window, walking in the garden of the Duke's residence without speaking and greeting anyone perhaps others who were looking would feel Althea had been upset.

Though Althea is actually spinning her brain to find out who is the mastermind of all this, she sends her ice butterfly to provide information about the people she suspects.

But the results are nil, the days just pass there is one butterfly that does not return to Althea and he believes that person is one of the strongest candidates who became the mastermind of all this.

From some names Althea already know whose gestures are most suspicious, but he has no evidence and anyone knows the kingdom will not accept a lawsuit without evidence. Althea is the prime suspect.

Althea sighed again she was faced with a situation where she could not do anything, Althea clenched both her hands making her hands scratched by her own ice.

Canace approaches Althea and sits behind Althea, asking Althea to lean on her.

"Thank you." Althea really does not know who to lean on, not long ago the Duke was tasked to become a warlord between Astrantia and neighboring countries. He hoped all would be well Althea prayed that no more people would go far from him.

....

"How come up to now there hasn't been any clue!!" Alvaro is upset after hearing reports about the suspects.

"varo," called Irene who had just entered the room. For some reason recently Irene was quite annoying for Alvaro.

"i'm sure the culprit is amaryllis' daughter." Alvaro frowned as he knew Althea was the main suspect but there was still a little doubt about Alvaro after seeing Althea's tears.

"I don't want to conclude so soon, there is no evidence that Altheana is guilty, anyway" Alvaro said, still busy with the documents in front of him. "You're why varo!! Lately it's always been defending that woman!! What's wrong with you!!" Snapped Irene on Alvaro.

"You are why!! I never even compared you to him but why do you always carry Altheana around in every way!! Think with your brain, not with you!" Irene's eyes glazed over after hearing Alvaro's words, her sense of pain was really not natural if she was worried that Alvaro would prefer Althea?

Althea has everything, her intelligence, her authoritative beauty while she is just a girl who can somehow get lost in a world that she doesn't even know exists where. Irene was only alone while Althea had many people beside her.

the hour hand kept turning, the day after day had passed already exactly three weeks since Althea was serving her brackets and the news of her grief had been spread everywhere.

Rainwater soaked the entire Astrantia, adding to its dark color in an atmosphere of grief, Althea could not cry once more he could only remain silent without sound.

Maybe the investigation will be closed and Althea will definitely be the perpetrator, he did not know what to do maybe this was indeed the right time to end all his might with him leaving this world all his would be much more beautiful.

Althea walked out of the mansion she was standing in front of the mansion and allowed herself to be engulfed in a very heavy rain. Some guards from the palace puffed Althea out of the Duke's mansion area but Althea ignored her he stomped his feet slowly as the falling rain shone and suddenly appeared the canace from the drops that rain.

Canace's eyes glowed deep blue in his body also shone, canace roared as loud as he made no one dare to approach them.

Althea looked up at her head and closed her eyes, letting them change color, as Althea opened her eyes, the rain that was pouring all over Astrantia turned into very fine snowflakes. The snow was falling slowly unlike the heavy rain.

Slowly Astrantia was filled with snow, the cemetery that had been hampered because of the rain could now be continued again, but there is something strange why suddenly come snow as much as this has entered winter but even the air is not that cold.

Alvaro set foot on a not so thick pile of snow. He intended to approach the father's tomb but before he suddenly came a very strong wind, from the wind there was snow that slowly formed a figure.

The white-robed figure in her long dress Alvaro could not see clearly because the wind was blocking her view. He only saw a woman and a large white creature beside him.

The woman placed the flower that had come out of nowhere while stroking the gravestone that was in front of her.

"Your majesty!" Calling the secretary Alvaro, Alvaro blinked his eyes several times to make sure what he saw was not just imagination.

The nobles who were there were surprised instead of playing, who was the woman what her relationship with the late king was.

...

*Flash back*

A servant carried a small bottle of pink liquid, and he brought it to a small barn at the end of the palace. "This is what you asked for." Said the maid to a jet-black haired woman.

"Then come here," he said to the servant gladly approached he thought his master would reward him according to the promise but *sreettt's blood began to flow and wet the floor. The woman smiled cynically "whatever I would do to survive."

From behind a tall man approached the woman at a glance he saw the bottle she was holding and smiled "good choice lady, ah not the noble crown princess."

....

After Althea shut her bedroom door shut until suddenly the fireplace near her lit up by itself, Althea was surprised not to play when the fire was snatched out and formed a letter.

Althea immediately picked up the letter although she did not know who sent it after she held the letter inexplicably suddenly changed her eye color without being able to control it.

You must be wondering who I am, but I'm sorry I haven't been able to tell you that clearly we both learn to accept the difference in yourself, but I'm sorry, your heart is strong because the world is not that good...

We will meet soon, so be strong when we meet...

In a room the blue-eyed man looked at the fireplace near him, before long the fire turned into a very beautiful Phoenix bird. "How, did he receive his letter?" Ask the man to the bird that is now in his arms.

*cuittt's... The man smiled slightly, until before a very similar person entered with a peacock who was following him.

"Hey brother! Again you're sending a candle to watch Miss Amaryllis?" Ask the sister. "Attending the letter," the blue-sliced man replied.

"Come on why don't you just come closer! I'm tired of taking your place in the line of duty, which is true I also want to fall in love, even if not as crazy as you." Suddenly the atmosphere was so quiet as to know what the man would do in front of his peacock named Chloe was away from the master.

Sure enough, the blue sliced man threw a fireball at his sister. "Huaaaa.I promise I won't be teasing you anymore."

The black-haired man looked at the sky behind the window of his originally blue eyes changed to red "I hope we meet Thea soon."
