" Sir Derrick, what are you doing?!!" alexander shouted furiously at the sight of his lover being slapped
" Sister looks so angry, he's never been this angry before. Where is my gentle brother?" inner Leticia was stunned after receiving a slap from Derrick
" Our outsiders don't have to interfere in family affairs, you better get out of here King Alexander. " Derrick glanced cynically at Alexander.
" Stranquil Alexander, don't be angry. I have to calm down "inner Alexander
" You're angry that I took Leticia without your permission, aren't you? I'm really sorry "said Alexander regretfully
" Lex, to lower his self-esteem to apologize to brother for my sake?" inner Leticia was moved
" A tyrant King like him apologizes? what a joke is this "inner Derrick can't believe
Derrick snorted in annoyance, he did not accept Alexander's apology and expelled the man. Alexander felt sorry for Leticia who was slapped, he felt guilty because he had taken away his lover, instead making Leticia in trouble with her brother. Alexander ran out of patience, then turned mad at Derrick.
" You don't have to hit him, just because he came home late. I'm with him anyway, nothing will happen to him !"
" You're the real problem. If you don't want to get into trouble with him, you better break up with my brother "Derrick raised his sword on Alexander.
" Your Majesty, you better leave now" said Leticia quietly
" How about you, though?" alexander asked worriedly
" It's okay, I'll be fine "leticia replied with a smile
" You didn't hear what my sister said, she'll be fine because there's a big brother here" Derrick said firmly
" If I knew you'd hit her again, I wouldn't have stayed silent, even if you were the sister of this girl !" alexander stared intently at Derrick
" He seems to care a lot about Tisha, doesn't he pretend? like her feelings for Tisha, not her playful "inner Derrick thought
Derrick ignored Alexander's words, and the man disappeared into the light. Leticia sat in the corner of her bed, next to Derrick. His older brother let out a long sigh, like he was going to talk about something heavy.
" I'd like to apologize to you first, for slapping you just now. "
" I'm sure you have a reason to do so, and I would also like to apologize for leaving without teaching you" Leticia said
" You're very wise and growing up. When you're only 16, you're like you're all grown up" Derrick said with a smile
" My real age is 27, I must be a grown-up dong. I'm more mature than your 20-year-old "inner Leticia feels stuck
" Hehe "Leticia responded to her sister with a smile
The man compresses Leticia's injured cheek from her slap with a towel filled with ice.
" It hurts?"
" Not really. Now, tell me the truth brother, why is big brother angry like that? is it true that I left without informing you?" ask Leticia curious
The man also explained the reason he was angry with his sister, he wanted Leticia to immediately sever her relationship with the tyrant King. Derrick says that he can accept peace between them, but cannot accept Leticia's relationship with Alexander. The reason for that was because Alexander would be a source of danger to Leticia, there would be many people who were after Leticia later. He just didn't want his brother to get hurt.
" I understand my brother's concern for me, but I've promised to live this relationship to the end. I know that being in contact with her I'm not safe anymore, I'll accept the consequences if it happens to me" Leticia said confidently
" You're really stubborn Tisha. But, I also can't forbid you from connecting with her, don't think I'm saying this because I agree with your relationship. I'm still against it, tomorrow tell him to see me, I want to talk to him. " Derrick is breathing
" Talk now can also "Alexander suddenly appeared in front of the brothers and made them shocked.
" You ! you're not going?!!" ask Leticia in shock
" I'm afraid she's being rude to you again, so I'm quietly in front of your bedroom window. To make sure you're safe" Alexander said
" It's so disrespectful, how could an honorable King from the kingdom of Fostiarus eavesdrop on other people's talk like this?" ask Derrick cynically
" As if to accuse, I did not eavesdrop on your conversation, only to be unintentionally heard "Alexander replied
" Isn't that the same thing?" ask Leticia astonished
" It was different" Alexander replied
" Because you're here, I'll speak directly. I accepted your offer of peace, so there is no longer any grudge left between us" Derrick said
" really? you're serious, aren't you?" alexander was pleased
" But that doesn't mean I approve of your relationship with Tisha, I'm still against it" Derrick said
" Alright I understand "Agrid Alexander replied
" he looks like a child who is sulking just "inner Leticia looks at Alexander with her pouting face
" good is. Because I won't carelessly hand over my precious sister so easily. I only have my only sister, so if there is any danger to her because of you, I will hold you accountable! even if it's chasing you to the burrow. "
" Of course, your sister is my lover now. I will definitely take care of him and protect him, he is my responsibility as well" Alexander said seriously
" He still doubts me, but I'm sure sooner or later I can win his heart and dispel his doubts. That I was the best man for Chia. With him saying this, I'm sure there's still a chance for me to take his heart of "inside Alexander a little pleased.
Just as Alexander felt a change in Derrick, Leticia also felt from her sister's words that she had opened her heart to Alexander and their relationship a little. That means there's still a chance to get Derrick's approval. In his heart they were happy to see Derrick change.
" Well, I'd be a bad guy if I kept them out of touch. Falling in love is not a mistake, but the right of everyone. But, I won't be that easy to accept their relationship. I still doubt this man, whether he is reliable or not. The true nature I don't know. All I know is that Tisha is really serious about her feelings and she looks happy" Derrick thought
Derrick stroked his sister's head gently, smiled and told her to go to bed as it was already night. He also kicked Alexander out of his sister's room and threatened him if he didn't leave, so he wasn't allowed to see Leticia again and he would take Leticia away from him.
Derrick also did not forget to remind if they want to date, must ask permission first.
" Okay, excuse me. Good night Chia, sweet dream "
" Even though I don't know tonight I can sleep or not because I'm glad I've earned your brother's trust" Alexander said
" His Majesty should sleep, tomorrow will be busy" said Leticia reminded, the woman like to know the heart of Alexander.
" Alright, sir Derrick also don't forget to sleep well yes" Alexander said of concern
" What the hell are you?" Derrick was embarrassed
Wush
This time Alexander completely disappeared from the sight of the brother's sister. Derrick left Leticia's room and went to his own room which was quite a distance away from inside the palace. On the way to his room, he meets King Cedric.
" it's a coincidence that you're here, there's a duty for you Sir Derrick" said King Cedric
" What else this time? I can't refuse his orders, hurt people, steal, hold captive, even kill anyone I've ever done. If Tisha, you know now I'm this kind of person. He will definitely be disappointed in me. "inner Derrick is upset himself
" What's with your face? you're not happy with the job I'm giving you? or don't you want your freedom ?" King Cedric threatened
" I dare not defy the noble order. I will do anything for this kingdom and his majesty " replied Derrick obediently
" That's great, you can indeed be counted on "King Cedric smiled as kindly and warmly as ever.
But, Derrick already knew that the king's friendly and warm smile was a falsehood to cover his cruel self. Piercing people from behind as they let their guard down, and smashed them to pieces until they were left unscathed. That was the true nature of King Cedric that only Derrick and his personal assistants knew.

Next day..
That morning Leticia went to bring breakfast for her sister. However, he was astonished because his older brother had not been seen training on the field along with other kstaria.
" Miss Leticia, miss looking for sir Derrick?" moore asked who happened to be passing by
" Yes, but he's not seen on the field. The hell is he still sleeping?" muttered Leticia thinking
" Sir Derrick hasn't come here yet, I think he's a bit late. Maybe he was in his room" Moore said
" Oh so yeah.all right I'm going to his room. Uh, but Mr Moore, why do you look confused? are you looking for something?" ask Leticia
" I'm actually looking for the prince, he's not in his room from last night" Moore whispered to Leticia
" What? mr Moore, have you tried to find him?" ask Leticia a little worried
" I've searched all the places in the palace that the noble might visit, but I didn't find him. Maybe miss knows of your noble existence?" whispered Moore
" The last time I saw her was last night, after which I didn't see her again" Leticia replied confusedly.
" Yes already, it's okay. Miss just continue the activities of miss, I will look for your highness the prince first "
" yes, may your highness be found quickly" said Leticia
The woman walked towards her sister's room. Leticia knocked on the door many times but there was no answer. Finally he opened the door of his sister's room while saying sorry many times.
" what is this? it turns out brother is still sleeping, brother.let's wake up it's noon. I brought breakfast for sister " said Leticia while shaking the body of a man covered by a blanket. But, there was no response and no answer from her brother.
" This is not usual. My sister always wakes up in the morning ! brother let's get up !" Leticia pulled the blanket that covered her brother's body. Shortly after, her sister pulled the blanket and finally Leticia became interested and crashed into the bed.
" Akh !!"
Leticia was shocked, she was now on top of the body of the man she considered her brother. He was astonished to find out that the man sleeping on his brother's bed was not his older brother, but Darren.
" Your Majesty.." Leticia wakes up soon.
Darren, also aware of Leticia's presence, immediately woke up. He held his head like he was dizzy. Leticia could already guess when she smelled the smell coming from the man's body, she must have been drunk ! that was how he thought in his heart.
" Why are you in my room?" asked Darren "duh my head." murmured Darren slowly
" This is my sister's room, hehe" Leticia replied with a friendly smile
Prince Ilios realized that it was not his room, as he looked around the simple room. He recognized the room, that it was Derrick's room.
" Why am I here?" darren was confused
" I'll excuse you. Because my sister isn't here "Leticia stepped away, but Darren held Leticia's hand.
" Ja.don't go. aish.. " Darren held his head and grimaced in pain
" Pity him if left alone. Even though this was none of my business, but I still had a heart. "inner Leticia was anxious
" I'm going to go to the kitchen and make a hangover soup for your highness, wait a minute" Leticia said as she let go of Darren's handrails
" It turns out Tisha, still cares about me. He worries me "inner Darren is happy
" All right, I wait for "Darren to smile
A few minutes later, Leticia came with a bowl of drunk soup and a cup of honey tea.
" Please eat his soup and drink his tea, this can eliminate the influence on your head" said Leticia
" Alright, don't throw me out first. I still want to be here . ah.." Darren felt his head hurt again
" Is it really painful? how much did your highness actually drink last night? until it hurts like this? " ask Leticia worriedly
" It seems like I drank quite a lot " Darren replied as he ate his soup slowly.
" It's still hot. Be careful " said Leticia reminded
" Do I have to get sick first, and then you notice me ?" asked Darren with a wounded look
" your majesty, please don't be like this" said Leticia feeling guilty.
" I'll be sick then, so you can see me "Darren looks sad.
" Why is he showing that look again? as if I had injured her so deeply, did my rejection of her make her like this? no, I shouldn't act like I'm giving her hope. "inner Leticia feels guilty
" Your Majesty, please finish the soup and tea. I say "Leticia bowed respectfully to Darren
" Don't go. Please don't hurt me like this again. I wouldn't be happy without you, Tisha, why not me.. " Darren pleaded with Leticia
" Your Majesty, you will live happily, but not with me" Leticia said firmly
GREPS
Darren hugged Leticia from behind, the man crying sincerely for Leticia. He knew that he could not oppose the King's decision, but he still loved Leticia. And his feelings never diminished one bit.
" Your Majesty, please let me go !" said Leticia while trying to let go of Darren's tight embrace
" I love you Tisha. I really love you.." Darren hugged the girl tighter
