The Roxena Prison of Love
Chapter 97 Roxena Prison of Love

Lawrence's main residence is in an uproar with the arrival of Roxena and Gerald. The couple came with suitcases. In Roxena's style of black clothes, the two entered the main residence. Mr. Lawrence, hearing the arrival of the princess and his son-in-law, immediately came out of the library, where he used to spend time.

“Xena!!” Surprised but not beyond his pleasure. Finally, after a long time Roxena set foot again in this residence, the last time the inheritance of the position of the head of the family.

“You're coming?”the question was happy then to see the suitcase carried by Gerald. “Snap? Or stay next with Dad?”

“I'm hungry, Dad,” said Roxena. Gerald nudged Roxena, feeling unseemly like that. However, Roxena is not his name if he complies. His face was cold on Mr. Lawrence who called out to the head of the kitchen.

“Bring me a snack and tea. Then make me my daughter's favorite food, my daughter-in-law's favorite food too!”

“Ah for a while I don't drink tea. Just bring me kiwi juice,” Roxena said.

“Kiwi juice! Make immediately!”

Kitchen section waiter looks doubtful, “sorry, Sir. We don't have kiwi fruit,” he said fearfully.

“No kiwi?” Roxena nodded then looked at Mr. Lawrence. In that gaze said, how could there be no kiwi fruit in such a large storage cabinet?

Gerald who already knows the habit of Roxena has changed immediately mediate, “just make fruit juice in storage,” said Gerald, he holds Roxena's shoulder. “This is not an apartment. Xena.”

“Good, Mr.” The waiter replied after making sure there was no rejection from Roxena despite still looking annoyed.

“Dessertnya do not forget,” cetus Roxena, before the waiter passed but the direction of his eyes on Mr. Lawrence.

“Will be made, just relax.” Mr. Lawrence then invited them to sit in the living room. Gerald who was familiar just chat began with the news.

“I'll stay here until leaving for a family meeting,” tell Roxena with her dominating style. Gerald smiled knot. Meanwhile, Mr. Lawrence immediately ordered the waiter to buy stock kiwi. Roxena will stay for three days. Right, three more days will be leaving for the Lawrence family mountain range for the autumn gathering. And soon it will enter winter. Temperature changes begin to be felt.

“Xena, Gerald, how? You guys have prepared everything?”

“She's already spent her money,” Roxena said.

“We've prepared everything, Dad. A few days ago we bought it. The best quality, hopefully it can be received well by the families there,” said Gerald.

“What reason do they not accept? Hey, Gerald, remember I said, if it's not accepted, just throw it in their faces. If they're arrogant, you just hit those haughty faces. I will defend you,” cetus Roxena, troubled by the words of Gerald who was considered to be humbling himself.

Mr. Lawrence smiled wryly. Attending the event is just a tradition. Despite being the head of the family, Roxena could not casually negate the event. If abolished, the ancestors would be angry and Lawrence's family would be affected by disaster. Such were the words of Lawrence's parents. Yes, tradition is hard to change, it's ingrained.

“I'm not brave, Xena. But, I have to keep my manners in front of the elders. Even though they don't hold leadership, their voice is very influential,” Gerald said. Lawrence's family was there like parents whose job was to give permission and blessing. Unfortunately, Roxena is fed up with it, bringing Gerald a mere formality. Admittedly or not, the answer is only one they have to accept his decision. The gifts are also, just a tradition like carrying gifts when attending a birthday event.

“Already. Xena is like that. Until your mouth is even, if he has decided it will not be able to be pulled back. My daughter is harder than stone,” said Mr. Lawrence, scolding Roxena indirectly.

“But, Father ...the hardest material is diamond alone can be cut. Steel will also stretch if exposed to heat. Decision can be firm because it hides the original feeling,” responded Gerald while looking at Roxena.

Roxena who was drinking apple juice raised her eyebrows. “What do you mean?”ask Roxena.

“I mean, no matter how hard you are there will be someone who can melt it.”

“Mean yourself?”

“I dare not say it,” replied Gerald, because he was not sure. Roxena is very hard right now. Although in front of Gerald looks already broken but behind there is a list of plans that are running or waiting for execution. His wife is so deep, she hasn't dived too deep.

Roxena clucked slowly. Mr. Lawrence smiled happily, already responding to a small thing, meaning already accepting. It's not easy to get close to Roxena.

“Hahaha .. if only you had really moved to this residence -” Mr. Lawrence did not continue his words. “Often-often just stopped by Dad was very happy.”

“Hm.” That's Roxena's response. Gerald's response was longer.

“If we have time, we will definitely visit, Father. It's just that .. With my work, also with Roxena's work, it's going to be hard to adjust. It would be better if Dad came and stayed at the apartment. Or Dad just stay with us?”bargain Gerald. Roxena rounded her eyes for a moment.

Mr. Lawrence seemed interested in the offer. He laughed, happy to have a daughter-in-law like Gerald. It's just, “ is really happy to be living together with the child and daughter-in-law. It's just .. I don't want to interfere with your personal time. Maybe it'll be better to stay. To stay there .. is too hard for Dad to leave this residence. Although it looks lonely, this is where Father's house,” said Mr. Lawrence. In this house is the happiest time as well as the sad time.

“Well, it is better to accompany mom here,” chirped Roxena.

Gerald immediately patted Mr. Lawrence on the shoulder, whispered something, “Xena has forgiven Dad. It's just that like Dad, Xena is hard to say. If not, we will not stay here for a long time.”

Hearing that, Mr. Lawrence's eyes turned red. He wiped the corner of his eye. Smiling happily. Really relieved.

“No suffering, why cry. You again, do you whisper? Let me hear it!”ketus Roxena's. Pregnancy greatly affects her mood. Gerald smiled broadly.

Roxena clucking. He stood up and walked away with his feet.

Dozens of lives. The childish nature still exists. Revenge changes a lot of things. God ... Give happiness to Xena. As long as he's happy, I'm willing to do anything, Gerald.

“Xenaku is back. There are no regrets in the world anymore. I just have to ask forgiveness from my wife,” muttered Mr. Lawrence.

“What did Dad say?”gerald asked, feeling odd at Mr. Lawrence's indistinct speech.

“Nothing. Dad is just very happy.”

“You're holding Xena. He must have gone to the room. I want to go to the kitchen first,”, said Mr. Lawrence, who was embraced by Gerald.

Gerald climbed the stairs to Roxena's room. This was the second time he had entered Roxena's room in the main residence. Nothing is different, just like the first time. The color is brighter with more furniture, there are also dolls and other miniatures.

“With your current appearance, this room is very unsuitable for you, Xena,” chirped Gerald. He stood behind Roxena who was currently staring at their family painting.

“Although not my taste, this room is very valuable because it was prepared directly by my mother. Color, layout, all the embellishments, I didn't change them in the least. Also as a form of respect to him,” Roxena said. There is such a deep meaning. Gerald nodded his head in understanding. He now stands in line with Roxena. Looked at the painting. Suddenly there was guilt in his heart. He should not have said such harsh words in front of the grave of Roxena's mother. Gerald has to make up for it.

“Xena.”

“Hm.”

“I permission to visit mother-in-law's grave.”

Roxena turned to Gerald. “For?”

“There's something I want to say,” replied Gerald replying to that gaze.

“Maybe can when the day we leave.”

“Sgratitude.”

“Hm Xena, aren't you awkward sleeping in a room like this?” Gerald slips back the temptation. Roxena pulls a smirk.

“The apartment you changed without my permission I can accept. Especially with my own room. What's awkward, as long as it's closed eyes and makes you roll, my sleep will be very good.”

Failed tease. But, don't stop there, “which is definitely because there is me. Xena ... You are very romantic.” Gerald hugged Roxena. Roxena just muttered.

On the other hand, Jonathan kekeh resisted the pressure of the royal family to marry Stella. He already knows the truth. Deciding on the engagement has been a unanimous decision. The Esca family was not against it either. Marry betrayal, set them up, will you?!

Although today, Xavier came to persuade him directly, Jonathan was not moved. He firmly refused it. Xavier, already upset by the unilateral cancellation of the engagement, is getting on the black.

“If you continue like this, ESA Group will be affected. No one will be able to help you! You're all done!!”Xavier's threat. Jonathan saluted before replying.

“Sorry, His Highness the Crown Prince, ESA Group has long been established and become one of the economic foundations of the kingdom. If you put pressure on us, the stability of the government will be shaken. Is it appropriate for the sake of a treacherous man who wants to overthrow his own brother, you disturb the economic stability of the kingdom? Disturb the interests of the people? If parliament finds out, won't the problem get wider? The engagement cancellation path is the best. Please don't involve me in the affairs of the royal family!!”jonathan said. He stared at Xavier.

Xavier looked surprised. How did Jonathan know that Stella committed treason when the news was blocked?! Is there a password? But, who? The palace holds many mysteries and secrets.

“Please don't bother me anymore, Your Majesty,” Jonathan smiled.

“I cannot accept the honor of marrying a traitor,” he said.

Xavier could not reply to those words. Like chess, he was surrounded, and almost checkmate. Xavier's looking for a way. But, there's no way. He's dead-end. Jonathan grinned a little. There is a pleasure in seeing a crown prince bewildered. Also wonder, why still care so much for his sister while his sister even wants to harm?

“Your Majesty have news from the palace!” Suddenly Xavier's secretary came in and whispered something to Xavier.

“Cannot be!”xavier said after hearing the news.

Jonathan showed an interested face as Xavier left his office in a hurry and panic. “It is interesting what happens in the palace. Mr. Luz, maybe he knows something.”
