THE WASTED QUEEN
Chapter 82 - Kedrick Cemetery
The people of Lezarde were in an uproar when Kedrick's death was announced, many did not expect that the man would leave, what else the nobles, they were surprised to see Calista and Theodore in the cemetery.
Moreover, seeing Leonardo present with a young woman, made many people talk about the three in the middle of the funeral procession
‘Gosh they are really strange, could-can the shameless emperor bring a woman in the funeral process of his own father-in-law.’
‘The queen is also for what she hid herself, if I were her I would not want to lose to a concubine’
‘The royal family is really strange, yes.’
‘No shame, that's them.’
‘Sst, be quiet, this is in a mourning mood, if the emperor hears this talk is over we.’
‘Yes, don't you forget what kind of cruel empress, first,’
The noble ladies fell silent until the funeral was over, not forgetting that they had offered their condolences to Calista and Theodore.
One by one the people who attended the funeral left, leaving behind Calista, Theodore, and Leonardo, as well as Isabela.
Leonardo invites Isabela to come closer to Calista. Isabela is happy to know that the queen is still alive, but she hesitates to greet Calista, in addition to being in mourning she is a commoner.
Calista turned his head towards Isabela, although her gaze was sad and her countenance was sad, Calista still threw a smile at the woman.
“Now you're an adult Isabela.”
Isabela is stunned, finding the empress still knows her, thinking Calista will forget her who is just a commoner.
“It so happened that I met Isabela at the gate of the palace, which is why I took her with me.”
“Calista she was the one who told me about Lizel and you, she really is a good girl.”
Isabella looked down, right what the emperor said about her, as she was selling flowers as usual, she stopped in front of the gate, long before she looked at the vast and magnificent palace, it reminds him of Calista and Kedrick's death today, so he doesn't realize Leonardo is suddenly next to him.
“Since the beginning you were a good girl,” said Calista.
The woman looked back in respect.
“Sorry Your Majesty, but I am not that good, I am just a commoner.”
“Your Honor, I'm really grateful to you for what you gave Lizel, now Lizel becomes a much better place than before.”
“I'm very happy to know that you and the prince are still alive, may happiness always come to you.
...****************...
Upon returning from Calista's funeral and Theodore returned to the Mansion, both intending to return to Rodelis after the father's prayer ceremony.
“Calista I'm back at the palace, tell me if you need me later.”
Calista nodded, “ Thank you for all your noble help, thank you also all this time for taking care of dad.”
“Not a problem, he's also my father.”
“And for Isabela, what did she tell Lizel for you?” ask Calista.
“Yes, that kid told me everything. When I had no reason to live and thought it was over, Isabela came and told me how you built Lizel back.”
“I know I am indeed a selfish person, I used to not care about you, even when you complained about some nobles or territory I just kept quiet, sorry if I used to be a bad husband for you.”
Calista nodded again, “I accept your apology, Your Majesty, everyone has a second chance, and you also deserve it.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I can forgive you, so why can't I."
Leonardo smiled, “Thank you Calista.” The man then left and returned to the palace.
...****************...
Aaron and Alexa finally reach the capital Lezarde. Before continuing the journey back to Axios both want to say goodbye to leave with Leonardo.
“Sorry, but he is going to Duke Kedrick's prayer ceremony.”
“What, duke Kedrick? Duke died?” ask Aaron to make sure
“Then, um, did Calista come?”
“That I heard from the people, empress Calista and the crown prince returned to Lezarde because the Duke was sick at that time.”
“Uncle, who is Calista's consort?” ask Alexa in a small voice
“She's wife of uncle who yesterday welcomed you.”
“Oh, really, I don't think that uncle has a child's wife.”
“So Alexa do you want to come see Empress Calista?”
Alexa nodded.
Aaron decides to go to Duke's Mansion, in addition to saying condolences to Calista, he also wants to say goodbye to Leonardo.
By the time the two got there, the prayer event had finished, the people had already left only Calista and Leonardo, as well as Trishan and Selene.
Seeing the arrival of Aaron, Calista and Leonardo approach him.
“I'm sorry for your father's death Calista.”
Calista nodded.
“Do you want to go back to Axios, Aaron?” ask Leonardo
“Yes, after all they are fine here, I have Freya and my sons with you, Leonardo.”
“You met with Freya?”
“Yes, I met him Calista, I know that I've been wrong all this time, even when you reprimand me I still feel right.”
“Since this beginning was my fault, I was the one who took away all her happiness.”
Calista did not reply, he already hated the attitude of Aaron.
“Alright, me and Alexa can not linger here, we will continue the journey to Axios.”
“Yes, hope your journey is smooth Aaron,” reply Leonardo.
“Emperor and Empress Lezarde, thank you for receiving us in Lezarde, now we say goodbye to return to Axios,” said Alexa.
Calista who saw this rubbed Alexa's hair, “ Yes, be a good boy and listen to your uncle's words.”
Alexa nods, “You are exactly like the emperor Leonardo, although you are sad to still be able to talk calmly like that.”
Leonardo and Calista looked at each other, the woman then looked back at Alexa.
“It's just right if you two become a husband and wife, both way of talking and behaving, almost mir—“
Realizing the awkwardness between Calista and Leonardo, Aaron cuts off the Alexa conversation
“Already Alexa let's go,” said Aaron.
“Uncle I haven't finished talking.”
“Although my meeting and consort is quite short, but I am happy to meet you, you are so beautiful.”
