Chapter 15
The journey from Vanbrough Village to the Demon Royal Palace took up to two hours. During that time, Alissya also held a salute to her waist from sitting too long in the carriage. When the carriage arrived at the palace courtyard, Alissya immediately got out and walked in, Crystal following behind her.
"Is everything okay, Oueer?"Xavier asked when he saw his wife's arrival and hugged her.
Missya, seeing this, felt jealous of Xavier's sweet treatment of Crystal. If only Evan had treated her like that, she would have been very happy. Alissya, realizing what i was thinking, immediately shook her head and lowered it.
"What's wrong with you, baby?"Crystal asked when she saw Missya's behavior.
Missya immediately raised her head and shook it quickly. "Ah no mom,"Alissya said nervously.
"So she's my daughter-in-law?"Xavier asked.
"Nice to meet you, Your Highness,"Alissya greeted, bowing her head respectfully.
"Nice to meet you, Alissya, and call me Daddy,"Xavier said with a smile. Hearing this, Alissya nodded her head and smiled happily.
"Well, you'd better get some rest. You must be tired after your journey,"Crystal said as she gently rubbed Alissya's shoulder.
"Then i'll go to Mom and Dad's room,"Alissya said and was answered with a nod from Crystal and Xavier. Alissya also walked towards her room, followed by Grace.
Once in the room, Alissya immediately dropped her body onto the bed. Seeing Crystal and Xavier's intimacy brought back memories of her father and mother. Every day she saw the sight of her father trying to seduce her mother. She always laughed when she saw how red her mother's face was. Slowly, Alissya's eyelids began to close and a tear fell from the corner of her eye,
'I miss you Mom, Dad,'Missya thought.
Shortly after, the girl's breathing began to become regular. It signaled that she was fast asleep.
At the same time, the door to the room opened to reveal Evan, who stepped in with a cold face. The man fell silent when he saw Alissya curled up in a ball, using her hand as a pillow.
Evan approached Alissya and sat down next to the girl. Slowly, the man raised his hand to wipe away the traces of tears that were visible on his face. But suddenly the door to the room opened and Steve was seen entering with a file in his hand.
"Your Honor,"Steve had not finished speaking, but the man was immediately stopped when he saw Evan sitting next to the sleeping Alissya, staring intently at her.
At that moment, Steve cursed his stupidity for forgetting that Evan was now in the same room as his dead brother.
"Let's talk in my room,"Evan said quietly. Steve, hearing this, bowed his head and left the room.
After Steve's departure, Evan picked up Alissya's body and laid the girl down properly before stepping into her office.
Soon Evan had reached his office and took a file from Steve's hand. He immediately read the file and threw it on the table.
"I knew it, this has to be him,"Evan said.
"He's definitely going to cause another scene if we don't catch him soon,"Steve's words made Evan dizzy and he began to think of ways to catch the mastermind behind the attack on the Vanbrough village.
"Send a letter to Christian and Alex to meet me right away,"Evan said.
"Then, for Lord Edgar's invitation tonight, will you bring Alissya?"hearing this, Evan immediately raised his head. He even forgot that he had an invitation to dinner in the kingdom today.
"No, i'll come alone. I don't want everyone to know about Alissya,"Evan said.
Steve, hearing this, nodded his head, then bowed his head before leaving the room to continue his work to continue his work. Meanwhile, Evan leaned back in his oversized chair and thought of a plan to catch the person who dared to make trouble in his kingdom.
"Is everything ready?"Livia asked the butler in the kitchen, checking all the preparations for the dinner her friend Evan would be attending.
"Everything is ready, Princess,"the butler said as he bowed his head.
"Perfect! Thank you Diora,"Livia said and left the palace kitchen,
The smile never left the girl's face when she found out that Evan had accepted her father's dinner invitation,"Of course she wouldn't waste the opportunity to look her best in front of Evan,"Lord Edgar and Queen Victoria, standing upstairs in the palace, smiled happily at their enthusiastic daughter.
"Does our daughter like Lord Evan, Queen?"Lord Edgar asked without taking his eyes off Livia.
"I don't know, Lond. But if we talk about him, I am sure our daughter will be interested,"Oveen Victoria said.
Lord Edgar smiled and realized something. His daughter really liked Evan.
Soon Evan had arrived at the Wizard's kingdom to fulfill Lord Edgar's dinner invitation. Lord Edgar and his family were there to greet Evan.
"Thank you for accepting my invitation, Your Majesty,"Lord Edgar said as he bowed respectfully.
"Thank you for inviting me, Lord Edgar,"Evan said with a small smile to Lord Edgar.
Then they entered the palace dining room to have dinner together. One by one the servants came to bring food from starters to desserts. During this time, Evan only smiled in response to Lord Edgar's words.
"Is all your work going well, Your Majesty?"Lord Edgar asked as he ate his meal.
"Every job is bound to have some problems. I just have to find a way to solve the problem,"Evan said.
"I heard that one of the villages in your kingdom was attacked. Is that true?" Evan was silent for a moment. He hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly throughout the kingdom. He really appreciated the work of the informants in each kingdom.
"Right,"Evan said briefly. "If you have any problems, we are ready to help you."
"Thank you for your offer, Lord,"Evan said.
Silence. No more conversation was heard. They walked back. There was no more conversation. They went back to eating in silence. But not Livia, who ran away smiling when her eyes met Evan's. I don't know how many times she stared at him, causing Evan to frown in confusion.
A short time later, they had finished their meal. Evan wiped away a kiss with a handkerchief before finally looking up at Lord Edgar.
"I am very grateful to have been invited to this delicious meal, Lord. Perhaps next time you should come to the Demon Kingdom and dine with my family,"the noble Edgar, hearing him, laughed.
