After coming from the boutique and buying some dresses, Devita and Athanaxius arrived at the courtyard of the main palace of the Willamette Kingdom. Athanaxius got off his horse and helped Devita to get off.
Behind them were Sirena and Ambrogio who were also riding one horse with a simple appearance because they were disguised as ordinary nobles in the center of the city.
Some of the legions who served in the main palace welcomed the arrival of the four of them by bending their legs and bowed heads.
Devita looked at the palace in front of her with a deep feeling. It was like a dream that he had set foot again in the main palace of Willamette Kingdom instead of in Chysanthemum Manor.
"Come, Irena! Our family is waiting for you!" Sirena extended her hand to Devita.
Devita who was still half-dreaming finally realized that if her name was now changed to Irena Harmony Asthropel when in public. Devita's call is only specific to people who are really close and know the original story of soul exchange.
"Did you tell them I was coming?" Devita looked at Sirena sharply.
Sirena smiled with her sinless face, "Hehehe, sorry,"
"Curtain!!! Not very exciting!" Devita brushed aside Sirena's hand and preferred to walk first leaving Sirena pouting as her hand was rejected by Devita.
"No exclaiming!" Athanaxius taunts Sirena by imitating Devita's words and walks quickly after Devita before Sirena gives a tantrum for him.
"God! How can I have a sister-in-law like her?" Sirena held her head that felt dizzy.
"Oh, don't think too much. Athanaxius is like that, an emotional angler." Ambrogio takes Sirena's hand and invites her in after Athanaxius and Devita who head to the throne room to meet King Falco.
The Feast of Falco becoming King was already passed one day ago and in the palace of Willamette Kingdom there are still some guests from other Kingdoms because they will all go to the celebration of the rapture of the Emperor from The new Alioth Empire.
...-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-...
"DIVIT!!"
Everyone was surprised by the behavior of their new Queen who was none other than Galcinia. As Devita and Athanaxius entered the throne room, Galcinia immediately shouted in excitement and jumped from the Queen's throne seat regardless of the people's views towards her.
"Yahoo!!! I miss you same! Huhu ..." Galcinia hugged Devita tightly which the woman replied was no less tight as well.
"Gue misses you too!! You're in good health, right here? Spoiled by Falco, right?" cecar Devita without pause.
Galcinia breaks down her embrace, "Gue is healthy! Falco is also not that cold as me, he understands me and never makes me do something I don't want."
Devita thumbs up at Falco who smiles to welcome her arrival.
"Can I hold you, Irena?" Elanus came with Agda from behind Devita.
Devita commented with a smile, "Why can't you?" Devita stretched out her hands, "Help me, Brother Elanus ..."
The man hugged Devita tightly to channel his longing, "Did your condition improve?"
Devita patted Elanus on the back while closing her eyes. The feeling of haru enveloped him because he finally had a family that greeted him with warmth when he came home. Devita also finally felt what it was like to be hugged by an older brother.
"I'm fine." Devita broke her arms because when she opened her eyes she saw Athanaxius who looked upset.
Devita glanced at Agda whose stomach already looked bigger than before. But until now he had not received any news about the marriage of Elanus and Agda.
"Son Elanus, why haven't I heard about your marriage yet? You want to wait until your son is born first huh?"
"I asked the same question, but the man was always silent. Basic bastard!" Galcinia added salt to their conversation.
Elanus who was talked about even scratched his nape that was not itchy, he glanced towards Agda to ask for help. While Agda himself seemed to hold back laughter seeing the face of Elanus's distress.
"Ehm, instead of Elanus not willing to marry me immediately, Dev," Agda decided to help Elanus speak, "because I am the one who asks not to marry now."
"Why?" This time Athanaxius asked.
"Because I want to see you two get married first, then I'm after." Agda pointed at Devita and Sirena with her chin.
"We?" Beo Sirena and Devita.
Agda nodded in spirit. He also asked for the opinion of Falco who had been silent on his throne seat.
The words spoken by Falco managed to make Sirena and Devita stunned. Not because of the marriage, but because the aura of a leader who exuded from Falco was able to anesthetize Devita and Sirena as if Falco's words were an edict that must be executed.
"Come here, my sister ..." Falco calls Sirena and Devita.
Sirena and Devita approach Falco. Arriving in front of the man, the two twin brothers were shocked as Falco hugged the two simultaneously.
"I'm sorry it's not enough for all the mistakes I've done to you two. You are my great brothers that I have now."
The tears that Devita had been holding back had finally broken, "I love you, Brother Falco ..."
"Did you love me too, Sirena?"
"I've always loved you, Brother Falco. But your arrogance used to shut my love into hatred." Sirena's eyes glazed over, "I ... " Sirena closed her mouth to hold back her stuffing.
Even though Sirena had been living her life as usual, still she was not that close to Falco. He still felt that whatever was done was afraid of him still looking wrong in the eyes of the man.
Falco cries with Sirena and Devita. The man vented all feelings of guilt by crying and tightly hugging Sirena and Devita.
In his place, Elanus also shed tears because he also still felt guilty because he did not care much for Sirena especially Devita whose existence was kept secret by his father.
...-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-...
After dinner, Falco called Athanaxius and Ambrogio to his study to discuss matters.
The two handsome men now face the new King Willamete, King Falco Badius.
"So, when are you going to marry my sister?" Falco looked at the two handsome men in front of him with both hands folded on the table.
There was no reply from the two men in front of him. That certainly makes Falco's left eyebrow raised because of the astonishment of the attitude of Athanaxius and Ambrogio who are both silent.
"My siblings are entering the stage to get married. I don't want my two sisters to be rumored to be spinsters because no one's going to marry her." Falco added.
Ambrogio wanted to answer but he turned to Athanaxius and nudged the man's arm, gesturing Falco to answer his question first.
"Actually I can at any time marry Devita," Athanaxius upheld his seat, "only, my reputation in Alioth is still bad and I feel unworthy to be with your sister because of my bad reputation."
"Devita really does have your reputation?" Falco stared coldly at Athanaxius.
Athanaxius shook his head, "No, it's just ak-"
"I asked when, so set the time and don't beat around the bush." cut Falco down and said with emphasis.
Ambrogio who was next to Athanaxius alone until goosebumps made. He could never have imagined as glaring as what if the late King Monachus had asked that question.
Athanaxius's face still looked calm even though Falco was giving him great pressure for him at the moment.
"One more week. I will also make sure that my reputation is good until I deserve to be a husband to your sister." Athanaxius rested his back on the back of the chair.
"Then what about you, Ambrogio?"
Ambrogio let out a long sigh before actually answering, "One week."
Athanaxius turned to Ambrogio, "Are you sure of your decision? You want us to get married on the same day?"
"Yes, I'm sure of the decision I'm making now. I'm sure Sirena would have wanted a wedding on the same day as Devita, after all they were twin sisters. Devita's happiness is Sirena's happiness as well. I want them to remember that they too were born in the world on the same day and they deserve the same happiness."
Ambrogio's words were able to make Athanaxius and Falco speech silent. Athanaxius never thought about it because he only put Devita first. While Falco secretly held back because outsiders like Ambrogio was thinking so much about the happiness of his sister than he who used to ignore it.
"I can be here to be a human being also thanks to the help of Sirena and Devita. So, I'm gonna work hard for their happiness." What he said was the truth. Although Ambrogio loves Sirena, he also loves Devita as a sister.
Athanaxius patted Ambrogio on the shoulder once, "You touched me."
Falco knocked on the table with his fingers three times to get the attention of the two handsome men in front of him. A big smile with teary eyes she showed, "Welcome to join my new family ..."
Athanaxius and Ambrogio laughed while embracing each other. Never thought they would be family.
