THE WASTED QUEEN
Chapter 86 - Elena's Attack
At the Duke Kedrick Family Mansion, Calista woke up to the noise below. Curious, the woman went downstairs.
“Uncle, what happened? Why are you so noisy?” asked Calista who saw the panicked faces of the servants.
“Your Majesty, the rebels attacked Lezarde, and are now attacking the palace. We have to get ready.”
“What? Palace attacked?”
Calista's face turned frantic.
“Your Majesty, we've closed the Duke's residence. You and the Crown Prince should go to a safer place now.”
“We won't know the end. I get word from the other nobles that they have started to leave the Capital.”
“It is better that you and the crown prince prepare to leave the capital. If it continues here, they could just attack us, Your Majesty.”
Calista shook his head, “No, uncle. I'll stay here. I'll go to the palace to help the Emperor.”
“But, Your Highness, You—“
“Uncle, you must believe that everything will be fine.”
“Uncle, prepare the knights of the Duke family. I'll go to the palace!” calista's orders.
The woman then ran to her son's room. “Theo, Theodore!"
“Theodore, open the door, son!” calista shouted while banging on the door.
“Mother, what's wrong? Why do you look so panicked?”
“Stana attacked, Theo. Your father and Lezarde are in danger. I'll go to the palace to help your father.”
How surprised Theo will be the news, “Mother, really, then let me just go. Mom here only.”
“No, Theo. Mom will come. I don't want anything bad to happen to your father and Lezarde in the future.”
“What happens later if Lezarde falls into the wrong hands.”
“Alright, let's go together, mother.”
...****************...
On the other hand, Anastasia's troops had entered the palace. Getting an attack from outside and inside would make the Axios knight lose. Anastasia laughed happily at the commotion, how the servants went to and fro, and the nobles left the Capital.
Aaron who heard his palace was attacked immediately intervened, especially when he knew the mastermind behind it all was Anastasia. As for Viona, she immediately fled towards her father's Mansion for help.
One by one, Aaron defeated the rebels, even in large numbers he was able to paralyze them. Now, anger filled the man, the person he believed since childhood had dared to betray him.
“I will kill you with my own hands, Anastasia!”
The atmosphere was so gripping that night, the sound of the clanking of swords combined with the flames that began to devour parts of the palace.
Arriving at the Mansion, Viona immediately met her father and hugged him.
“Dad, please help the emperor. Palace attacked, father.”
“Tree.”
“Viona my daughter, relax, Nak.”
“Dad will help the emperor. That's a sure thing. I don't know if Anastasia can be that bad.”
“Now, you're here, let father and our family's knight squad help.”
“You understand, my daughter.”
Viona. “I'm sorry, dad, if I ever scream loudly at you.”
“No, Papa. Now, comein. It's not safe for you outside."
Viona nodded. Afterwards, the Duke and his army went to the palace. While Viona who was in the Mansion, decided to look for Freya. He heard that the woman had come to Axios. Luckily, the personal servant he brought knew where Freya lived in Axios. Although the situation outside is quite dangerous, Viona still goes to look for Freya.
...****************...
Calista and Theodore help out at the Palace. His skill in using swords was quite helpful. When Leonardo saw his wife and son, he was so happy. He thought they wouldn't help him.
“Focus only, Your Majesty. Let me and Theo take care of the part here.”
“Ya!”
The three again split, Leonardo took care of the western part of the palace, while Calista and Theodore took care of the eastern part. However, Elena's army was endless. Always popping up constantly.
Until the eyes of Leonardo saw the woman from a distance about to shoot Calista. As the arrow began to shoot, Leonardo immediately dashed towards Calista. Calista who was busy fighting a rebel was unaware of the arrow that shot towards him.
“Calista, beware!”
‘Craak..!’
At the same time, the same thing happened to Aaron. As he was fighting the five rebels in front of him, Anastasia who had appeared out of nowhere immediately pulled out a knife from behind.
‘Craak..!’
I don't know what will happen next when the two emperors now face the same story.
...****************...
“So that's the end of their story."
The face of the 11-year-old girl frowned, “Dad, why did their story end so?”
“Fairytale stories that dad made less than satisfactory. Honestly, I've never heard of a fairy tale like dad tell me, but baby I don't like the end.”
“Hey, now that's not what matters. I want you to take a lesson from his story. Tell dad what lessons did you get?”
Alice answered lazily, “Yes, I understand the fairy tale you told me. Never waste a person who loves or loves us sincerely, and evil will always end badly.”
“Then, what else? I think a lot can be taken from the story you told.”
“Alright, but tell me first the end of their story, why did you make the story hang?”
The emperor laughed at the princess' behavior. The man then opened the window curtain facing directly into the pool. But not the pool that is the main focus, but two people who are sitting while looking at the pool.
The princess's face turned happy, "Grandfather, Grandma's father, why don't you tell me if they're coming!"
Alice walked out of the room, leaving her father alone. When the boy opened the door, he passed by the mother who wanted to enter.
"Alice, where do you want to go? Why does your daughter look so rushed?" ask the mother.
"Mother, grandfather and grandmother are in the palace. Why didn't you tell me before?" sahut Alice's.
"Alice, I just wanted to say it, but apparently my daughter already knows first."
"alright, mother. Now I want to go see them," replied Alice who immediately ran.
"Alice, careful. Watch your steps and don't run!" warn the mother.
Seeing the behavior of the princess only wayangnya make the empress can only sigh. The woman then approached the husband who was still silent while looking out the window.
The woman followed the husband's gaze and smiled. "Did you tell him the story of father and mother, Theodore?"
"Yes, that way our daughter can take a lesson, Isabel."
Isabella leaned her body on her husband's shoulder as she looked out the window. "You're doing the right thing."
Alice, who was in front of her grandfather and grandmother, immediately ran to embrace the two. "Grandpa, Grandma, I miss you!"
"Grandfather, do you miss me?"
"Grandma, do you miss me?"
"Say, do you two miss me?"
Getting questions repeatedly made the grandmother could not hide a smile. He pinched the granddaughter's cheek, "Yes, my grandparents miss this beloved granddaughter a lot."
"Ha ha, I miss you too. Grandpa, Grandma, you know I told you a fairy tale for my eleventh birthday gift."
"But you know, your son made the ending hang. Father instead showed you both when I asked finally. Weird, right?" mutilate.
Calista and Leonardo looked at each other, understanding that the boy was telling the story of the two of them, so the two could not help but laugh.
"Hey, why are grandma and grandpa laughing? What's so funny?" ask Alice.
"No, nothing funny. Alice, your father showed us as a symbol that they finally came back together and were happy" Leonardo replied.
"But I'm not happy."
"Why? What makes Grandpa's granddaughter unhappy?"
"In the father's fairy tale there are two stories even three. If one of them ends up living happily, then what about the other story?"
