A few weeks later, Alessa meets Leoninko. Leoninko is the crown prince (son of King Raphael) who once saved him after he was accidentally attacked. Alessa was delighted to meet Leoninko again and thanked him for the help he provided ranging from medicine, work, and shelter. However, lately Alessa also feels strange with Leoninko's attitude. He felt that there was something different about the crown prince. Leoninko looked a little nervous and often smiled at him.
"Hi Alessa, how are you? We haven't seen each other in a long time." Leoninko
"Yes, it's been a long time. I'm fine, thank you." Alessa
"You're spare, right? Want to go to the park together?" ask Leoninko
"Yes well" Alessa
"Come.. " Leoninko walks with Alessa to the park
Suddenly Alessa's legs sprained because she was not used to using high heels and she fell into Leoninko's arms and their eyes both looked at each other.
Alsessandra said "Alas foot bangs*t, oh yes it's my own fault. I forgot that I'm a demon who never wears this kind of footwear and then I wear it without thinking. I'd love to take it off and throw it somewhere far away but Leoninko's problem is here and..." Alessandra distanced herself from Leoninko
"Are you okay?" ask Leoninko
"Yes" Alessa
Alessa sat down and took off the high heels she was wearing. After that Leoninko crouched under him and broke his high heels. After that he looked at Alessa and said to her "This way you won't fall again, your legs won't hurt either" she said "Who gave you those shoes?" ask Leoninko
"If it's not wrong, her name is Rosella" Alessa replied
"Hmm okay. Do you want to go ahead or sit down?" ask Leoninko
"Let's go to the park" Alessa put on her shoes and got up from her seat
Alessandra secretly feels that Devian and Xander are stalking her relationship with Leoninko.
They made me uncomfortable - Alessandra said in her heart in annoyance
Devian and Xander are currently confused because Leoninko asked for their help to help her get closer to Alessa.
"Xander, do you know? I don't understand this. I'm not an expert" said Devian, who kept watching them
Xander looked at his phone screen and said, "Watch I have to go to the hospital immediately there are patients I have to take care of. We'll discuss this later, okay" Xander
"Yes well. Go" Devian
"Okay Devian, see you" Xander immediately ran away from Devian
Devian was still observing Leoninko and Alessa from a distance.
"It's weird, just this time Leoninko asked for help to conquer the heart of a girl." muttered Devian, after which he went to do his other activities
Return to Leoninko and Alessa who just arrived at the park.
"Do you like Alessa's garden?" ask Leoninko
"Yes, the garden is beautiful" replied Alessa
Leoninko picked a rose and gave it to Alessa "For you"
"Thank you" Alessa received the flowers and smelled the scent of the rose that Leoninko gave her
"Alessa, can I ask you something?" ask Leoninko
"What?" ask Alessa
Duh why am I so tense to minimize the question? - inner Alessandra
"Have you ever been in love or liked anyone else?" ask Leoninko bluntly. Then Leoninko sat down with his head down because he did not want Alessa to see a sad expression after breaking up with Fahira a few days ago.
Alessandra stared silently at Leoninko with concern. As a demon he was able to sense what Leoninko was feeling right now.
"I've never been in love, nor have I ever liked anyone else" Alessa replied
"That's it..." Leoninko raised his face and looked at Alessa with a friendly expression full of smiles
Alessa, shocked to see the fake smile shown by Leoninko. The smile reminded her of her past with Xander.
A few years ago his mother Xander (a witch) was predicted to lose consciousness and be unable to control his powers. Some other witches also predicted that Xander's mother could turn into a demon because in her second pregnancy the baby in her womb was pure devil. And one day the page proved to be true.
Xander who was a child was attacked by his own mother who had lost her mind. At that time, Xander's mother was pregnant. Xander's mother saw a human like Xander in the middle of a delicious meal that made her feel hungry and want to eat it.
As a nanny Alessandra seeks to protect Xander desperately. Until in the end Alessandra lost and lay helpless in front of Xander. However it did not scare little Xander as he inherited the courage of his father, the Demon King Chains. Feeling sad to see his mother, Xander thinks that maybe his mother is currently feeling very miserable and tormented by his condition.
Finally to protect herself, Alessandra, and other innocent people. Xander casts a magic spell to kill his own mother and the child in his womb. As a result of his actions many demons hate him. But not for Chains, even though he had killed his mother and future sister, Chains still always loved Xander and did not blame Xander or label "killer" against Xander.
Since the incident Xander, still shows a smile on his face to Alessandra. As the one who nurtured Xander since childhood, Alessandra understood Xander very well and knew that Xander's smile was a fake smile. For Alessandra to smile like it was so painful finally Alessandra asked even to beg Xander not to hold back and vent all her feelings to him.
Back to Alessa and Leoninko.
"Alessa, do you want to treat me?" leoninko asked kindly
"Eeeh?" Alessa
Treating? Treating his hurt feelings? By giving her love and affection, is that what she means? - Alessandra said in her heart
"You don't have to answer it now. I wanted to tell you, when I was around you I felt like I was recovering slowly" Leoninko said
In her heart Alessandra shouted "WHAT?! WHATCHU MEAN?! SHE LIKES ME?! NO, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"
That night Alessa stood alone by the pool, observing the calm and clear water. His heart was full of confusion and confusion. He never imagined that he would fall in love with a human, let alone a crown prince like Leoninko.
"What should I do?" alessandra murmured in the heart. "I can't let him continue to love me without knowing who I really am. But I'm also afraid he'll stay away from me if he finds out my identity as a demon."
Alessandra closed her eyes and pondered for a moment. He felt lonely and confused. He also desperately wants to be with Leoninko, but doesn't want to hurt his feelings. He took a long breath.
"What would happen if I told him everything?" alessandra asked herself. "Will he still love me or will he stay away from me?"
Alessandra clasped tightly onto her robe and pondered for a moment more. He knew that he had to make a decision, but his heart was too burdened by his feelings for Leoninko.
"I don't want to disappoint him" he said inwardly. "I don't know how to."
Alessandra kept thinking about her complicated and turbulent situation. He could not decide quickly and found it difficult to choose which path he should take.
