IT MR HURTS. COMMANDER!!
CH 72'S. SOPHIA'S UNCLE

In the morning, Alfonso and Sophia left for the forest where Alfonso first met Sophia

"It's a shame that this is where I hit you at that time" Alfonso pointed as they arrived in the forest to find Sophia's house first.

They should have gotten proper information from Sophia's uncle first, right?

Sophia seemed to think

"You don't remember where you went before from here?" ask Alfonso

" mm I was chased by robbers back then. I went to......"

.

.

.

The golden twilight came, Alfonso and Sophia went home.

Sophia looks lethargic. He and Alfonso had surrounded the forest. But got no results.

Sophia recalled her steps that led to her own confusion.

Alfonso was natural with that. Because it was very dark. It was impossible for Sophia to remember her path clearly.

"Darling, is it okay hmm? tomorrow we try again" Alfonso persuaded to see this bent face

"I told you uncle likes to get out of that river" Sophia said

"he loves I believe. We've also been walking in your direction, haven't we? to go down the river, we can continue tomorrow morning, it's already night dear many wild animals in the forest" explained Alfonso stroking the dense black hair of Sophia.

Sophia nodded.

***

In the morning, they resume their search with Sophia's blurry memory.

But the result is nil. They just as well get no results

Sophia's getting grim. He feels so bad. He felt guilty for Alfonso who wanted to sacrifice his time to find his uncle with Sophia's obscurity.

"Honey this drink first" said Alfonso approached Sophia who daydreamed in the chair usually after their search

"It's okay Hemm? we're still looking for three days. There's still plenty of time dear" Alfonso said.

"Is there no other way? we won't get anything with just my memory" Sophia sluggishly leaned her head on Alfonso's shoulder.

"I think we better go to the royal astrologer first" Alfonso said

"Hm? a clairvoyant? what's for?" sophia asked confusedly

"Practitioners are good at glaring and seeing the faces of loved ones. Next he would usually paint the person's face on paper. The kingdom is also using it to catch criminals" Alfonso explained

Sophia thought for a long time. Sophia was surprised and looked up

"Darling!!!! I've seen a picture of Uncle's face in your study" Sophia shouted excitedly, remembering that she had once entered the alfonso workspace.

Alfonso's surprised. Body's cooling.

the sketches of faces that were saved were certainly sketches of the faces of people he had disappeared under royal orders.

He immediately moved to take Sophia to his office which he had always been key to.

After entering, Alfonso immediately opened some of his drawers and picked up a pile of papers

"What is this your uncle?" alfonso asked, showing one by one his paintings

after a while, he did not find his uncle's face

"May not. I beg you not" inner Alfonso

"Darling not in this drawer. Oh yes, this drawer" pointed at Sophia.

Alfonso cooled the sweat emerging from his temple.

The drawer was a drawer containing the traitors of the kingdom

With a tremble, Alfonso took out some paper from inside.

Leave it to Sophia

Sophia looked at each one.

"This!!! It's baby, it's my uncle" cried Sophia gleefully.

Alfonso's surprised. His hands clenched trembling. His heart was racing very fast.

Sophia who noticed the change in her husband's emotions approached and asked

"What's wrong?" sophia asked, holding out her hand to touch Alfonso's hand

With reddened eyes and sharp gaze made Sophia afraid.

Without saying anything, Alfonso pulled Sophia's hand out rushing towards her horse which was still parked after the search this afternoon

"Good!!" alfonso said coldly

They leave for the forest no matter the twilight that is coming soon.

Alfonso's heart is burning right now. His heart is worried

"What's wrong?" Sophia looked back. Undeniably, Sophia was very frightened at the moment.

Alfonso did not answer. His face was getting quieter.

after a while, Alfonso stopped his horse.

"Is this your uncle's house?" alfonso asked coldly after Sophia had descended herself from her horse.

Sophia. His uncle's house was destroyed. Ex-fire was littered where.

Sophia ran to the ruins of this house. He got rid of the pile of wood.

There was nothing he could find but ashes, black wood from the flames, but there were some human bones here.

Sophia began to sob at the thought of something terrible.

Sophia rose up and looked for anything she could get

His mini-house, which houses the warmth given by his uncle, is now lost along with its owner.

Sophia paced back and forth with Isak crying out her uncle's name

Alfonso stood still with his net sharpened.

Alfonso's thoughts were upset. The royal rule flashed on his head.

"All the descendants and families of the royal traitors must be killed!"

It just kept buzzing in his head.

"Alfonso, the traitor was one of the causes of my distress" Hector said at the time

"You must eliminate the entire family of traitors!!" Hector's orders at the time

all of her dancing nari on her head. Netherland's heating. His now-defunct lord Alfonso felt he had not given any happiness to his great emperor, who was more meritorious in his life than his own father.

The man he considered his father.

A man who maintains his own position, even though many people want to drop him and make him sad. Including uncle Sophia. Sophia's uncle, a royal traitor, was among those who contributed to the Emperor's life.

The man he glorified, in fact Alfonso maintained and cared for children from the source of the Emperor's problems.

Imagining it infuriated Alfonso.

Without saying anything, Alfonso mounted his horse, leaving Sophia still in her own world.

No matter the darkening of the day, Alfonso kept his horse racing.

Sophia was still crying calling out her uncle's name.

The bones that he could still get even though some were blackened by the fire, Sophia gathered them into one place.

These smooth and tiny hands lifted the wood one by one.

"Hiks uncle why leave me first" Isak Sophia was restrained

"Uncle always taught me to turn off the furnace after cooking. Did uncle forget to turn it off so our house is on fire?" lirih Sophia who considers everything that happens for that little reason.

His mind was too clean to make a bad guess at someone including Alfonso who arrived to know his house.

Not even once suspected Alfonso.

Tired, Sophia sat before her uncle's bones

"Uncle, I miss you guys, I even want to introduce you to my husband" Sophia jolted remembering her husband

he looked over to where Alfonso was standing. There's no one.

Sophia just realized that she took hours here. Evidently with the sky that has turned very dark.

Sophia turned her head right and left. He found neither Alfonso nor his horse.

"Uncle, I ignored my husband earlier. He must have been angry and gone home first. It's also night. We've been looking for you uncle all day. My husband must have been very tired" said Sophia again sitting looking at this mess with sadness.

"Uncle, is my husband angry to see that I don't have anyone anymore?" lirih Sophia drowned her head between her knees.
