My Ex Mr Duke
Huh, Uncle?

"Aleta you accompany His Majesty. While I'll see Alfred first" Violeta said.

Duke Arland saluted Violeta, wanting to spend time with Violeta and Alfred.

As for Aronz, he was confused where to go, wanted to pursue his father and mother, impossible. He will be a mosquito, whereas here he feels to be a standing statue. He finally decided to go back to his room.

While Emperor Fictor stared fiercely at Knight Gio. In that gaze meant 'wait, I'll give you punishment'

"Aleta, how about we go to the greenhouse, it seems more exciting outside" said Emperor Fictor.

He really is the Inner Knight Gio.

"Emm okay."

Aleta stepped awkwardly, then followed up by Emperor Fictor who walked beside her. Along the way Emperor Fictor never let go of the smile on his face. There were even some servants whispering.

Arriving at the greenhouse, Aleta sat before the smiling Emperor Fictor. Aleta's body was like a worm about to escape, but it was difficult to creep.

Ehm

Knight Gio trembled, as soon as Emperor Fictor stiffened, revealing his flat face.

Ahem

"Thank you for accompanying me with Aleta."

Oh, sire, he's a little kid not an adult don't be that flat.

Knight Gio bowed, then drew closer to Emperor Fictor's ear, according to his direction, Emperor Fictor followed Knight Gio's speech to speak casually.

"Oh, yes I have something for Aleta."

The little girl was silent, looking at Emperor Fictor who reached into something from his pants pocket. He opened the box of red velvet cloth. His hand pulled something in the box, so he saw a necklace.

Aleta was amazed, the necklace was so beautiful, carved tulips with white pearls and both leaves were filled with white pearls. "Waw, how pretty."

"May I raise it for Aleta."

Aleta nodded, Emperor Fictor crouched down, both of his hands coiled around Aleta's neck. His eyes kept on Aleta's face. He could not imagine, how beautiful Aleta when she grew up, maybe he had to lock Aleta so that all the men would not be fascinated.he imagined, he imagined, he imagined, there will be many men who want Aleta and for that, he must be closer to Aleta from now on so that Aleta only remembers her.

"Thank you, Sire."

Emperor Fictor smelled a smile, he stroked Aleta's head."Let's be friends."

"Friends," said Aleta. He did not feel awkward anymore, Emperor Fictor was so kind. He was sure, Emperor Fictor could be his vent. All this time he never confided in anyone, harboring what was in his heart.

"Alright, from now on we are officially friends" Emperor Fictor said.

But not for the future..

Aleta nodded, "Does Aleta have to call her Uncle?"

Like a blizzard that instantly struck the heart of Emperor Fictor, his body froze. While Knight Gio, holding back his laughter, unable to bear it, he turned his face chuckling softly.

"Huh, uncle?"

Aleta nodded quickly. "If you don't like it, what does Aleta have to call you, Sire?"

Uh

That adorable face, he couldn't help it. For now, to be friends only, but after that he will assign Aleta as his only wife."Knight Gio!"

Knight Gio's body stiffened, he turned his head quickly, putting on his flat face.

"I am Your Majesty."

"Take a look at you, yeah."

Knight Gio tried to hold his lips back so as not to form a smile.

"Alright, dear Aleta, for now you may call me, Uncle. But not for the future. You should think of a way to call special for me."

Aleta was confused, not that now and the future should be the same. He won't take a headache.

While not far away, a woman was watching Aleta and Emperor Fictor. As a mother, she was afraid as in her day, the closest person could be her future.

"Duchess what's going on?"

Violeta did not reply, she was focused with her daughter, her heart in a daze of unrest. Emperor Fictor had many wives. He shook his head.

"Violeta what's wrong?" Duke Arland held Violeta's shoulder.

"Ah, I'm fine."

"Don't lie, your face is like a worried person. From the moment you noticed them, did you feel uneasy about His Majesty's arrival?"

"Not that, how about.." Violeta did not continue her words, she chose to stay away from Duke Arland.

"Hey," Duke Arland held Violeta's hands together. Pulling his chin up, "Say, what's up? what's troubling your mind?"

"What if one day He likes Aleta?"

Duke Arland gaped, the next second he clucked at Violeta's forehead. "What is that, baby? You can't like Aleta, how old is she now? He also has a wife."

"Now, His face is very young, handsome and dashing, even at his old age His Majesty will still be handsome. Who doesn't like your brother?"

Without him noticing, his words ignited a black aura on Duke Arland's body.

"Handsome?"

"Yes His Majesty is very handsome, I just admit his good looks," said Violeta stepped away, he approached Alfred who was focusing on the book in his hand.
