When he opened his eyes, Devita and the others were already at the river end of the center of the city of the Alphard Empire. However, the memory of Athanaxius's change disturbed his mind. Devita did not understand why Athanaxius was a criminal to her.
"The Alphard Empire is not far from here," Elephas told as the man had been to the Alphard Empire before.
"The sky is so bright!" Nervilia was amazed to see the beauty of the morning sky that looked bright and unlike in the sky of Osaka village.
"That's because of the protection of the late Efarish Legumiro, then only this region is safe." Devita also looked at the sky.
"Just look at the sky." Sindir Irena who turned out to be in front, quite far from the place of Devita, Nervilia and Elephas.
The three of them also followed Irena so as not to miss. Feeling something strange, Nervilia did not see the figure of Sirena and Ambrogio.
"By the way, where are Sirena and Ambrogio?"
"Sirena is with Ambrogio, they may soon arrive." Finished answering, Devita also accelerated her footsteps so as not to match the steps of the couple next to her. After all he felt like a mosquito when he saw Nervilia and Elephas holding hands.
Along the way, they see the Alphard people who look simple and live in harmony. There are many children who play chases without thinking about the Dryas who managed to master some Vulcan.
Not much different from the center of the city of the Alhena Empire, the center of the city of the Alphard Empire was seen to be filled with the people of the nobility and a lot of cake shops and boutiques belonging to the nobles, the center of the Alphard Empire was seen to be filled with people of the nobility, seen from the name of the store that mostly uses the name of the noble clan. What is seen is the presence of bicycles in the center of this city.
Walking among many people made them the center of attention, especially with their clothes that look shabby and dirty because of the fight with Athanaxius before coming here.
"It's a good thing I wear a veil, so don't be shy very." muttered Irena who felt calm because her face was not clearly exposed.
"If you know this, I'll wear a veil." Devita then covered her head with a headscarf that was connected to the dress she was wearing.
Irena and Devita looked back to see Nervilia and Elephas; whether or not they were ashamed of their appearance. The envy felt by Irena and Devita.
"Why do they have to come?"
"Lap patted his face to innocence!"
Of course the last word was Irena's. His eyes were faint at the sight of Elephas wiping the dirt on Nervilia's face using a handkerchief.
"Ehm!"
"Geez!" Deheman someone made Devita and Irena surprised.
The culprit is none other than Ambrogio, then Devita meets Sirena who is in an unreal form.
"Where's Sirena?" Elephas did not see Sirena.
"Next to me." Ambrogio replied, after which the man's gaze returned to Irena and Devita, "Luck stands with us today. There is a meeting of the palace council of the Alphard Empire in the palace, so we can go inside the palace and meet the Emperor Jericho."
"Before going to the palace, we should see Beta Arigha." This time Sirena spoke.
Irena frowned confusedly, "Who is Beta Arigha?"
"Map Arigha? Is she here?" Nervilia rounded her eyes.
"Yes, Beta Arigha is here with his wife and son. When Sirena was wounded; i and Sirena were suddenly in front of a house and it turned out that Beta Arigha was inhabiting it." Ambrogio.
"Then let's get there!" Devita was happy, at least there was still the Atreo family who were the strongest supporters of the Willamette kingdom left and had already vowed to be loyal and protect every descendant of the Willamette Kingdom.
...-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-...
Beta Arigha and his wife warmly welcomed Devita and Irena. The two men already knew that Devita was Sirena's twin sister who occupied Sirena's body as well as Irena's.
"It was fortunate that one day that my wife and children visited my old friend's house in Alphard." Beta Arigha told me how he was here, "I'm so grateful you're all safe and I'm so sorry for the death of King Monachus."
"Thank you, Beta Arigha ..." Sirena said sincerely.
"When are we going to the palace soon?"
All eyes were on Devita who was standing in front of the window without sitting with the others.
"Tonight. I'll tell my friend that you're Agalia's son, and then you can come to the Imperial court as Agalia's representative."
"The late concubine Agalia still served as the palace council, huh?" Irena asked because she felt strange when she heard the word 'agalia's representative'.
"Yes. The Emperor of Jericho knew that the loss of the late concubine of Agalia at that time was the work of some who did not like it because it became the court of Empress Daisy's favorite while still alive. Therefore, the position of the late concubine Agalia has never been revoked until now." This time Betaris Betony who spoke while holding his youngest child who was sleeping.
"I heard that Princess Sirena was betrothed to Prince Athanaxius, so she meant that the betrothed was Princess Devita, 'yes?" Beta Arigha looked at Devita who was still faithful looking out the window.
"Yes, because the one who occupied Sirena's body back then was Devita." Ambrogio looked at Sirena who looked sad as she looked at Devita.
"Then, the one who gave me the design of the beautiful dresses was Princess Devita." Muttered Betaris Betony, then the woman stood up to approach Devita after handing her youngest child over to Beta Arigha.
Betaris Betony patted Devita on the shoulder slowly to make Devita turn her head, "You're thinking about something, Princess?" Betaris Betony dared to speak informally because Sirena had previously told him to.
"Nothing I'm thinking about." Devita reviews a thin smile.
Betaris Betony knows Devita is lying, "What about your fiancee? Does he know that you're not Princess Sirena?"
Devita nodded, "He already knows."
"Do you love her?" Betaris Betony also found out about Athanaxius who attacked to make King Monachus died.
The Betaris Betony question was able to make Devita speechless. In contrast to Sirena who then approached Devita then hugged her twin without being seen by the woman. Only Ambrogio, Irena and Devita could see Sirena's unreal form.
"If it is hard to answer Betaris's question, there is no need for you to answer, Dev" Sirena whispered.
"I love her, but I hate her too." Everyone heard Devita's reply, "I'm confused, it's the feeling of hate or love that is ruling my heart right now."
It is not expected by Betaris Betony that Devita answers his question. He thought Devita would just shut up and not want to bring back the name of the person who gave the wound.
"Can I hold you?"
Devita looked at Betaris for a long time, "Do I look so pathetic?"
"Very!" Betaris immediately hugged Devita, "I know you love her so much, your eyes show what your heart is really about." The whisper of Betaris that only she and Sirena could hear immediately stepped aside as Betaris embraced Devita.
"I also hate it, betaris ..."
"It's okay, you can hate him. You don't have to lie about your own feelings. Just tell me what you feel for yourself and befriend the wound you just got." Betaris rubbed Devita's back, "You deserve to be happy, son ...."
"Thank you for this hug, Betaris." Devita was now relieved, "I felt like I was being embraced by my mother."
"Your mother is a good man" Betaris broke her arms and rubbed Devita's cheeks, "there are some people who hate your mother in the Imperial court, so that's why tonight you have to be careful."
Devita nodded, "Thank you again, Betaris."
"Together, baby."
"You all must be hungry now. Honey, serve them good food, I'd like to meet Alfon to talk about Princess Sirena and Princess Devita." Beta Arigha stood up from his seat and sauntered towards the room of his youngest child.
"According to Beta's command, you hurry to the dinner table. I'll serve you good food!"
