Alessia's POV

"MR. Ales! Eat, we have sweet potato stew here!" Estrebelle called me and she also had some waitresses with her.

I have become close to them because they are the ones I see and hang out with most of the time.

"Mr. Ales, sit here." I saw Syn smile modestly and he fixed the stray hair behind his ear.

"Okay." I politely responded to them even though I wanted to reject them, but because of the sweet potato I will keep up with them.

I walked towards them and Syn immediately moved to give me a seat on the long chair in the kitchen.

"Good morning to you." I greeted them and sat down.

I heard their soft laughs. Estrebelle was the only one who didn't laugh but was smiling.

I saw the sweet potato still steaming on the table in a large wooden bowl.

"Where did you get it?" I asked them and I took one but dropped it because it was hot. My finger immediately turned red when I touched the sweet potato.

"Sir, use it." Estrebelle gave me a fork so I couldn't touch the sweet potato direct

    Alessia's POV"Mr. Ales, the king is calling you," Angelica told me while bowing. It moved very formally."Where is the king?" I asked him. I stood up from where I was sitting in the hospital room."He's in the meeting room," he replied without looking at me."Alright, I'm going," I answered him.I left the room first and Angelica followed to do what she had to do here in the palace. Angelica helps in planting fruits. He digs and buries the seeds. They found out that everything Angelica plants is alive, so she is the one to work on those things. That's what we call green thumb.I made my way to the gathering room. What I know is that the officials will have a meeting here at the palace. I have a strong feeling that Elijah will join me in this gathering, as Stefano said before.I haven't seen any officers who behave in the way I'm passing so I walk faster. I saw the door of the room. There was a sentinel watching and he bowed to me and opened the door.Immediately, a long table appeare

    Alessia's POVMy body was shaking and the healer Anisto came. He tried to touch me but I pulled back again. I don't know what makes you feel this way.Stefano and Elijah looked at me both concerned. But Elijah's face also darkened for a reason I don't know."Ales, do you recognize me?" Anisto asked me calmly.I slowly nodded. Even I do not understand myself. My heart beat faster as I felt like someone was chasing me with the intensity of my fear. My heart feels like it's going to explode with so much fear. All of a sudden, it was as if a nerve was cut in the back of my neck and I lost my sight. Suddenly I felt cold. I heard their screams and panic but I couldn't feel anything until the darkness completely engulfed me.I just woke up to the familiar smell of the room, herbs and oils. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the white ceiling.I feel better and suddenly I remember what happened. My eyebrows crossed as I no longer felt any fear, unlike before when I didn't know where it was comin

    Alessia's POVI saw MANY things in that room that you would only see in ancient times. Old clothes, swords and even old guns with spikes on the end. There are some antiques that cannot be seen in a museum.But there are more pictures that are drawn by any artist. It was also obvious that this room was cleaned regularly because I didn't see a single dust. Clean very clean.I looked at the things there one by one. I see things that I do not know and name. I didn't know what they were for, but I didn't bother to find out. I am pretty sure that we are no longer using that stuff these days.I looked at a corner between two large dressers. There is a black cloth wrapped around it but I know that only one part of it will reveal what's inside.Because of my curiosity, I did what my mind told me to do. I removed the wrapping cloth and it did fall to the floor without making a sound.This is an old picture. But my breath stopped because of what I saw. I felt like I was seeing my own picture, in

    Alessia's POV"MY grandfather was a teacher. S-he taught me." I don't know where I got this idea from but I have no choice but to make up a story that is not true. How can I say that I learned this by growing up because of school and the educational videos I watch?I am too afraid to tell him the truth. What I saw in that room was like a big warning to me not to tell them the truth and to hide my true self."Really? I wish you had said it. You even tortured the dear king. He's more comfortable with the royal language than the commoners'," he said to me and I immediately understood what he meant. Elijah lived since God knows when and he is not Filipino so Tagalog is his mother tongue. It's too obvious what he looks like. He looks like somewhere from the east."B-but I prefer the common dialect," I answered him. I know the English word, but I can't speak English fluently.There was no doubt in his eyes so I took a deep breath."Yes, we will talk in common dialect. So go back to the pala

    Alessia's POVI am now in front of a long table. That was full of food that was too much for one person. There was only one empty plate with spoons, forks and table knives. This is very western, that's what I notice.I looked at the waitresses who were both acquaintances of mine."Do I have someone to eat with?" I asked them. I didn't call names because whoever answered me was fine."Just you, Mr. Ales. This food is for you," Syn explained to me.My eyes widened. The food seemed too much because even though I was very hungry, I knew I couldn't finish it. I don't eat that much. Yes, I'm not on a diet and that's not in my vocabulary but I'm not a glutton either."M-maybe nothing bad will happen to me if I don't use it up, right?" I was nervous because I might have to consume it. Because even if I ask for a miracle that I can consume him, I really can't.Fritz smiled. "Nothing, Mr. Ales. If you don't run out, there will be no problem, Mr.," he answered me.sir I'm not really used to bein

    Alessia's POVI woke up early the next day as if nothing had happened yesterday. I knew it was going to be a normal day for me and I woke up super early and got ready. I feel like everyone in the palace is still asleep.But I can't sleep anymore because I'm really wide awake. So here I am, it's five in the morning and it's still dark, but I'm already walking down the corridor to the hospital room downstairs.I see a few waitresses cleaning up. Someone was scrubbing the floor and cleaning the big chandelier."Good morning, Mr. Ales," greet the waitresses I pass by and I just nod at them.I just walked straight until I reached the front door of the hospital room. I grabbed the handle and turned it to open.I immediately went in but I almost jumped because of a lump I saw and was also surprised. Obviously surprised because of my entry. I couldn't close the door because of the panic.But I immediately recognized who it was.Elijah? But I can't speak. I was looking at him in shock and he w

Don't you understand the word you're used to?" he whined at Kate.I understand Kate is just trying to stop Lady Dheminiah from making trouble, but one doesn't want to be stopped."What can I help you with?" I tried to calm myself because I might be able to answer this Dheminiah."What are you doing here?" he asked me and my eyes almost rolled due to the roughness of his attitude."A physician," I answered him. "You, who are you?" I asked him. Neither Elijah nor Stefano were introduced to me as important people. Elijah doesn't have a brother as far as I've heard, so I don't care who it is now. He has a rough attitude, he and his sister are a perfect match.Its eyes widened. Surprised because I don't know him. This fight is too childish, that's what I see. This petty talk is not even worth wasting my time with."You don't know me? I'm just Lady Dheminiah, the king's concubine—""It's Stefano who wants it, right?" I continued with

    Alessia's POVI could not speak. Nothing came out of Elijah's mouth after what he said. We were both silent and didn't know what to say."I think...I like you."It was like a bell ringing in my ears over and over again. Did I hear right? But I'm not deaf enough not to hear that. It wasn't noisy around so I could misunderstand what he said. I heard exactly what he said. He thinks he likes me.My eyes widened as I suddenly thought of so many things. That day, when he told me how I can take away his feelings...he was referring to me! And I was a fool, thinking that Stefano was the one she wanted! Why didn't it even occur to me that it started when I also appeared in their lives? Was I that dense not to notice?But I am not dense! I just don't really like to give meaning to what is happening. I'm not assuming because that's disappointing, especially if it's far from what you expect."W-what?"That's not what I want coming out of my mouth. I want to ask why me? Why not Stefano? But that's

The wrinkles on his forehead did not go away like they were knotted ropes.He knew to himself that he treated Ales differently because he was young and he looked strangely like the woman he was destined for.

    Alessia's POVI fee the stiffness of his body. He went rigid from my calling his name. Did I pronounce the name wrong? Instead of explaining, I was unable to speak. I felt him and waited for whatever he had to say.I heard that Elijah suddenly cursed softly. I just heard him swear, and I guess, it gave him a shock."Why does my name sound so good when it comes from your lips?" he whispered, and I felt his nose nuzzle my neck. The shiver running down my spine feels like an electricity, traveling to every bit of my skin and flesh."Kam—" I tried to stop him but he spoke again."Let's cheat, sweetheart. I know it's a sin, but I am ready to commit a crime if it means I can have you," he whispered to me and I could feel that he was desperate. He's not happy in his situation and so am I. Why does love seem so difficult for both of us?I shook my head. I wanted to cry but I shook my head. "What if I were in my brother's situation...and you betrayed me? I don't want to feel that way, Your Maj

Ales doesn't have anything to do with this," Elijah interrupted and looked at me. "Go to your room," he ordered me authoritatively.Even though I was nervous, I bowed and hurriedly left in front of them. The tension was too heavy because of the queen's words. But I can only say one thing, he is not a good immortal. I can feel that, I can feel his jealousy and envy in my sister's position.The annoyance I felt earlier was overshadowed by that incident. I felt pity because Elijah couldn't even defend him properly. Elijah stopped, but the queen had already hurt her sister with her words.I made my way to the room. I meet waitresses who bow to me and I just give them a nod. I reached the room immediately and qui

    Alessia's POVMy head hurt to leave the balcony and I decided to just rest in the room. I can't forget what happened.Even if it is not confirmed, I know that grandpa is not human or it is more correct to say that he is not a normal person. Is it possible that he is one of the magicians?It seems that my head hurts more because of that. Is it also possible that grandpa is already here in Wysteria? I can't think of anything else but that, because I don't know how he talked to me in my mind.Is that why our parents were attacked by demons? Is that why grandpa doesn't want me to befriend the kind demons because it's connected to whatever we are? Everything becomes more and more chaotic. I'm glad that I was able to talk to grandpa even if it was just in my mind, but you made everything even more complicated. My brain is too messed up.I want to talk to grandpa and ask him if we are human or not. But in the events before, I already know the answer. But if my sister and I are the same, why

    Alessia's POV"MR. Ales, are you all right?" Syn looked at me and now they are all looking at me in surprise.I immediately looked for a reason so they wouldn't notice me. "Sorry, I'm just surprised because he's finally going to be...introduced," I answered them and smiled a little, but I was holding back from being sad."It's really surprising, Mr. Ales. What's happening is so sudden. What we know is that the king has cut off their relationship. But now, suddenly, he's going to officially introduce Lady Roselle as his bride," said Syn as if that is a very big thing.I didn't speak because I didn't know what to say without hurting myself. It hurts just listening, but I have to bear it, because the pain I feel is the future success of all of Wysteria."But didn't you, you said that Lady Roselle's behavior was not good?"

    Alessia's POVMy lips became a line. I don't want to answer Stefano's question. I already knew the answer myself, but I didn't want to let go of those words.I was about to walk away from him but he quickly grabbed my hand as if everything depended on it."Ales, answer me. Do you love Elijah?" he asked me curiously but I knew he was still mad at me."Let go of me," I told him coldly. I tried to get out of his grip on me, but he was too strong to overcome that."Don't lie to me, Ales.""Told you to let me go!" I'm annoyed because I don't want this anymore, it seems like I'm losing control of the situation."Tell me the truth," he insisted.I shook my head. "Please, Stephen." I'm not even sure what I'm begging him for."We won't finish if you don't admit it, Ales.""No—""Do not lie-""Yes!" I screamed at him and he stopped. "Yes, I like him. Are you happy now? What if I like Elijah? Is there a destination? Nothing, right? It's better to be early, avoid it as much as I can me, Stefano.
