A Demon Duchess
13. painful reality

Autumn winds blow flying flower petals leading butterflies flying. Althea sat down and read a book under a flowering tree without a smile and laughter.

Althea who was reading the book was distracted when a few butterflies approached her while directly above the palm of Althea's hand the butterfly slowly shone and disappeared.

All memories like a video recording began to fill the head of Althea, true some butterflies are one of the familiar Althea or rather the creatures he created from the power of his own.

Althea already knew where the poison of the flower came from only that she did not know who was behind all this. When Althea was in a tussle with this problem came a man who very, very much did not want Althea to see.

"Those fools will have prejudice against me" said Althea, standing and looking at the man who was now in front of him.

The person who was none other than Alvaro was smiling I don't know but the closer to his wedding day the more he thought of Althea. "So what is your purpose for visiting your majesty?" Ask Althea coldly. "I guess I just wanted to visit." Althea frowned, while Alvaro sat down while looking at the flower garden in front of her.

"You know I'm disappointed in you" asked Althea suddenly. "Only a heartless man is not disappointed" replied Alvaro convinced. "I don't think I'm the one with your own feelings who said that." Althea sat next to Alvaro.

Alvaro chuckled at Althea's statement, yes it is true that he said such a thing. "I won't apologize but now that I've got someone who will accompany my life, I hope you find someone like that too." Alvaro's expression was quite confusing to Althea his words seemed arrogant but his facial expression differed a hundred and eighty degrees from his words.

"And let you destroy the kingdom? Don't dream during the day Alvaro," Althea got up from her seat and left Alvaro.

"Theana!" Shouting Alvaro made Althea stop her steps, Althea turned around "I'll bring the killer's head before you" Althea said coldly and made her eyes faintly turn red.

Alvaro who was just about to enter the Amaryllis residence instantly in the barrier of the roaring canace loudly in front of the entrance. Alvaro gasped but some servants approached his canace and calmed him down.

"Who are you."

...

The day of Alvaro and Irene's wedding arrived, all the people rejoiced the nobles began to see a gap to achieve an advantage, lucky for those who from the beginning only sought profit.

Irene was preparing for her wedding ceremony a very fancy white dress, jewelry in the form of jewels that were stitched one after another in her dress, do not forget the make up that makes her more beautiful this morning.

When it was finished everyone was amazed by the beauty of Irene, however it seemed that their King did not choose the queen candidate wrongly.

Irene shed tears, not expecting her to be married today if her father were here, how else she never even planned to be here.

Alvaro was waiting at the altar feeling uneasy somehow, maybe he was nervous Alvaro circulated his gaze looking for a beautiful silver-haired figure. I don't know it feels so strange that the scenario that Alvaro has been thinking about even nothing happened but that doesn't mean it refers to bad things no matter how he loves Irene.

After waiting finally Irene walked towards the wedding altar in help some maids to transport the tail of her dress. Everyone there was amazed by the beauty of Irene jet black hair neatly arranged, makeup that accentuated her beauty was also a luxurious dress that somehow priced her.

Alvaro himself was amazed by the beauty of his future wife he smiled gently looking at Irene, Althea who accidentally saw it also smiled even though only for a moment she took a breath trying to calm down.

Believe me it is not that easy to let go of someone we love for so long, it is not that easy to eliminate the sense that has been strengthened by time and someday destroyed also by time.

The vow of marriage has also been uttered by the two happy people, in front of all the people who are witnesses. After the wedding ceremony took place now the coronation of the queen took place Irene had changed her clothes with the dress of the queen of Astrantia.

Alvaro is already preparing to put the queen's crown on his wife, perhaps this is the happiest day of his life and may just be the beginning of happiness to come. But when the coronation took place Althea was not there after the wedding he went from there.

Althea was at the top of the palace of Astrantia sitting there looking from afar at the coronation event while clutching the pendant that the late king gave her.

Slowly Althea tears dripped the pain completely painfully. Althea's eyes slowly turned red, she smiled gently in the midst of her cries as she looked at the twilight sky as if understanding her pain.

"Mother, aunt, your majesty, I managed to make Alvaro happy.look at him smiling beside Irene Alvaro find his true happiness.hikss.."

Afternoon has now changed the night and the party finally took place very lively, the opening dance was done Alvaro and Irene very charming. Althea entered the room in the middle of the ongoing dance.

On the other side..

"Sister! Are you sure you don't want to go down?! Ohhhh!!" Rengen Alex to his sister.

"They won't be comfortable if I go down," he said spontaneously, the crown prince of the wisteria empire yes whereas from earlier he attended the event without problems but at this party somehow he did not want to go down.

*brakkk!! *Trump!! *Bukkkk!!

"What's that sound?" Alex asked as if the voice came from the party room and the distance was quite far from the palace where they rested.

Alex hurriedly opened the door and asked the servant passing by. "Even your honor, there was a riot going on in Miss Amaryllis's party room" the maid had not finished her remarks the crown prince directly smashed the glass of the room just like that.

"Sister!!!" Alex shouted in an inexhaustible manner. His sister is really when it comes to the daughter of the Amaryllis family he is really sensitive even though on his own sister he is not this stupid.

Now that the party room had been completely destroyed, a dense killing aura spread around the room and made the knights hesitate to enter the room.

"Dad..."
