The Second Chance To Change Destiny.
Chapter 29 Painting of happiness.

"Is that your brother's money bag? because we used the money to pay for the inn. If it's still lacking as evidence then I have greater evidence, I guarantee that when the court sees that evidence then your brother will be severely punished. Our family never messed with the law" Elena told Odelia.

"I'm sorry." Odelia bowed in front of Liana and Leon.

"Hmph! I hate bad women" replied Leon, turning his face away. 

"Let's go home," Elena asked Liana and Leon, they immediately stood up and left with Elena.

Odelia clenched her hand and then she hit Eros in the face many times, Hugo who saw it was happy because Eros deserved it.

Abigail's anger does not grow because Qinthia always comes to drink tea with her, Qinthia's identity as the fiance of Aaron who is notoriously flirtatious makes Abigail happy. Now he has Qinthia to keep his grandson from playing heart.

"What are you reading?" qinthia asked while embracing Liliana's shoulder from behind.

"See." Liliana gave the letter she had just received to Qinthia.

"really? this is amazing, mom. We should go if we need to take grandma, too" Qinthia suggested.

"Bringing your grandmother to the empress' tea party, are you sure that's the right decision?"

"Why not? are you afraid grandma's out of control?"

"That's one of them. The other reason is that your grandmother hasn't been to a tea party in a long time, what is she going to do there? the people who are a generation with him are already many who are in seclusion."

"No need to worry so much. Anyway I won't be coming either, you just go son-in-law with my daughter-in-law's granddaughter" Abigail said.

"Thank you mother" Liliana said awkwardly as Abigail heard her remark.

As Qinthia prepares to be with Liliana at Abraham's residence, Aaron sets out to join her. But Abigail forbade him because at the same time he had to go to the jewelry store, he needed Aaron as his bodyguard.

With a heavy heart Aaron had to let go of Qinthia to go along with Liliana, even though he was eager to be their chariot driver.

Arriving at the empress' palace had many noble mistresses present, not least Jovanka. Even though many noble mistresses do not like to be present. But they were silent because the empress could not if she did not invite him, she was an influential person in the empire.

"Greetings aunt." Qinthia embraced Vanessa as a form of greeting.

"Greetings empress." Liliana gave her the honor of a noble.

"He is …." Vanessa recalled the reason she made this tea party.

15 Hours before tea party ….

Vanessa massaged her own head because since she was preoccupied by Louis' stubbornness, Louis again did not come during an important meeting with the royal officials. 

Therefore, the higher-ups were furious and urged the emperor to give Louis the punishment he deserved. Otherwise, they would definitely have Louis removed from the list of heirs to the throne, if that had really happened then Luca would have been the sole heir to the throne.

"Mother, it's Luca." Luca knocked on Vanesaa's door from the inside.

"Come in!" reply Vanessa from the inside.

"Is the pain still there?" luca asked with a nod by Vanessa.

"Mom drank that herbal tea, brother and I made it specifically for mom. Want me to pour it?" ask Luca again.

"no need. Instead of you making herbal tea mothers, you better not be stubborn and obey your mother so that this headache will not exist" replied Vanessa.

"Actually I feel something is strange with my sister. Brother seems to be in love with someone."

"Your sister's in love? you're the one who's right."

"It's just my feeling. Before, my brother always obeyed my father. But lately brother suddenly became a bad boy, he did not want to be the heir to the throne when previously he was fine to be the crown prince. So I was thinking maybe my sister fell in love with an ordinary woman, if only it was true then this pure love mother proof she was willing to leave everything for the sake of that woman."

"That makes sense. But who's that woman? your brother looks ordinary. He was busy with the exercises every day, then at what time he met the woman. Couples should be dating, right?"

"Mom was right too. What if we search the workspace and sister's room? sister tonight will not come home from the camp," Luca proposed that Vanessa immediately agreed.

They both went into Louis's room and searched his room. Unfortunately, they found nothing to do with women. Let alone items for a woman, they did not find a single item that could be considered a gift from someone.

As well as Louis's workspace, there was nothing special about the room, other than a pile of documents on the table and bookshelves filled with books about politics.

"So you're wrong, your sister's not in love. Men fall in love with nothing special, a waste of time. Let's go out," take Vanessa to Luca.

Luca stepped with a sad feeling towards the exit. Because not focused while walking Luca even slipped, he grabbed a rope to survive unfortunately he still fell to the floor.

"It hurts a lot." Luca grimaced in pain while holding his hips.

Meanwhile Vanessa was silent staring at the dinidng, feeling something strange with her mother Luca was following the direction of her view.

"Lu-excellent." Luca was amazed to see a large portrait of Elena mounted on the wall. Louis closed it with a curtain. But, the curtain opened because Luca had accidentally pulled the curtain.

"I'm right. I see you really have fallen in love. Hahahahah, my feelings are never wrong." Luca leaped for joy at seeing Elena's painting.

"Do you know this woman?" vanessa asked Luca.

Luca looked at Elena's face and tried to remember where he had seen the same face, after thinking for a few minutes Luca finally remembered.

"I remember! she is Elena Abraham, a summoner and wind girl. I saw her with my sister when I picked her up from school" Luca replied.

Vanessa closes the painting and pulls Luca away from it. This was the first time he knew Louis was in love with someone, so long as their relationship was not too close and had just been close then Vanesaa wanted to do something for Louis.

Vanessa asked her servant to make an invitation to the tea party right then and there, Vanessa asked to be sent directly at sunrise.

"Whatever Louis wants me to accomplish, and for those of you who seek to take Elena from Louis I will get rid of it. Elena belongs to my son, "inner Vanessa who is looking forward to tomorrow.
