Ortiz de Rozaz palace
Gonzalo Martin smiled at the palace maids that he would pass by. It was still very early in the morning and some of the royal household staff were now starting to work. The palace was a very huge estate therefore, it should also be maintained from time to time. If he remembers the numbers correctly, Ortiz de Rozaz palace alone employs more than 1000 staff.
"Good morning, Sir."
"Good morning," he replied at the other royal butler, smiling. He was walking fast as he went down the huge stairs. He needed to find a more discreet location so he could make some calls. Madrid Anselmo, the King, is still sleeping on his room. Mamayang ala-sais pa ito gigising at sa alas-otso naman magsisimulang magtrabaho bilang hari ng bansa.
When he found a secured spot, at the back garden of the palace, he finally shoved his hand into his pocket and picked up his phone. He immediatey dialled her number.
"My Queen," he started, looking both of his sides, watching out if some royal staff would enter the back garden.
"Gonzalo," it was Sofia Elena's voice on the other line, "Did my husband believe the woman?"
"I think so," he replied. "He didn't ask anymore about your," he took a deep breath. "Your new name, Jodie Grey. Hindi na siya muling nagtanong pa tungkol sa iyo. He didn't anymore instructed me to do another investigation as it seems he bought the alibi of the Jodie Grey we hired to meet him."
"Good." There was a pause. "Anong naging reaksyon niya?"
"He seemed miserable and defeated, I've also overheard he instructed the impostor to preserve the statue that he built for you at Snowdon, his last request."
Hindi ito kaagad nakapagsalita matapos ang sinabi niya.
"Gonzalo, you know, I am only doing this for the people."
"Yes, your grace and we'll forever be grateful." He told her sincerely.
"After everything is okay, Sinclair and I will go back to Luxembourg... Promise me you will let us go, Gonzalo?"
He didn't expect her final words.
Napabuntong-hininga na lang siya. He smiled tightly while still on the phone.
