Alessia's POV

We have continued our journey to the city of Valencia. We were out of the forest and now I could see a fork in the road leading to the same big road in the city. I don't know where a road leads from Valencia. Immediately I saw the towering barrier, surrounded by high walls and a gate made of solid iron.

Maybe the kingdoms are like that because the palace of Valeria can be found here too. I see some before us who I think are merchants who want to sell in Valencia from other kingdoms.

The sentinels are looking at what I think is a permit and they are also checking the carts of the merchants. After being tested, they let them in.

The sentinels saw us and immediately became alert. Everyone there bowed as soon as they saw us.

I frowned and wanted to look at the man behind me who was maneuvering the horse, but I couldn't ask because I felt that he didn't want to be asked.

I kept quiet even though my mind was full of questions, why the fellow sentinels respected them so much. H

    Alessia's POVMy studies in the field of medicine have started. I haven't seen Elijah and Stefano for a few days, they seem to be doing a lot, and I've been busy because I'm studying. My daily routine was only the room and the library. Sometimes I go along whenever my teacher treats someone.Even for meals, I eat in the bedroom or in the library. That was the king's instruction. In other words, he doesn't want me scattered around the palace, but that's fine with me too. There is no problem because I am doing something.The palace physician taught me a lot about healing. I noticed that he only taught me the basics, whereas grandpa taught me a lot.But I didn't speak anymore because I didn't want to be good at teaching. I am also learning new things from the doctor such as accupunture. That's why the body can be paralyzed as long as the right nerve is hit. Grandpa never taught me this or even mentioned it.I insisted on learning and the doctor was happy with my progress."Ales, when an

    Alessia's POVSister's smile on her lips is not torn. This is what he wants, he is the one who wins. All his life, his mind was running in the competition that he was the only one doing. I never competed with him."Sister, you know we're not for this world. We're just an accident—""Shut up, Alessia! It's probably a good thing we had an accident because I'm fed up with the world where you're always the best. You're the only one who's beautiful. You're the only one I like and you're the favorite! Do you think I'm happy with my life who is just like your shadow? Who is always compared to you? Why? What do you have that I don't have? You know what makes me the most angry?

    Alessia's POVWherever we went on that excursion. They also took me to a restaurant and we ate lamb stew and grilled pork. That's how I call them because I'm not familiar with their food or what the name is. They mentioned a very unfamiliar name about the food but I didn't even get it. 'The one in your brain, will it be-huh?We also finished eating and went home because it was already dark. I enjoyed our visit. I carry the flower that I will take care of that only blooms every midnight.We got back to the palace and got separated when we got inside because we went in different directions to our room. I quickly went up to my room and entered there.But I was surprised when I saw my sister sitting on my bed. Sushi was barking at his sister who didn't seem to like her presence."So you're home? What? Did you have a good time with my boyfriend?" He raised his eyebrows at me, but Sushi was obviously irritated.I frowned. "What are you talking about, Sister? I don't understand you." I don't

    Alessia's POV"Did you and Elijah fight?" Stefano asked me. It frowned as if troubled."N-no. Why?" I wanted to ask him but I couldn't help but register in my mind what happened yesterday in the stable."Why is he like that? He doesn't want to mention your name and he doesn't call you even when he needs you?" it surprised me. "Admit it, do you have a fault with him?"I frowned because of his accusations. "What is my reason for us to fight? What will be my fault if he summons me and meets me once in a while?" I answered him because I didn't want to think that I was really the reason why Elijah became like that."Because I'm always hot-headed and I've been yelled at several times especially when I mention your name. So I can't think of any other reason than that," he answered me and scratched the back of his neck.I shook my head. "I don't remember us ever fighting. Except yesterday when we met—""What happened yesterday?" he immediately asked and his face changed into curiosity."W-wha

I didn't try to look for him because I knew that he was doing something important so I couldn't see him anymore.I am now in the hospital room. It's not as big as the other rooms here but the interior is nice. It's clean, everything is white, there's a bed and a lot of medical supplies, of course, from herbs—but there's also a syringe here.Some people come here because they have LBM, so I give them drinks to stop them losing weight which is out of control. There are also others because they just have a headache, or a fish stung their throat.Usually my patients here are women who have headaches or stomachaches. The men, on the other hand, have wounds or broken bones. You can really see the difference in them.There was a knock at the door, so I expected it to be a waitress with a headache. So

    Alessia's POV"Sister, where is the necklace that grandpa gave?" I asked him because I noticed that he wasn't wearing it."Oh, that cheap necklace? I don't know. I threw it away when they brought me here. I'll take an old and cheap necklace if there are more beautiful ones here?" he promised me proudly as I clenched my fist. She doesn't know the value of the necklace just because she got new and grander ones."Sister, didn't you even value the single thing that grandpa gave you? It wasn't given to you, you took it from me by force, and now, you say you threw it away? Never, Sister, did it ever happen to ' that necklace is yo. You are no different than a thief and an opportunist." I am interested in him. I want to slap him but I stop myself. I'm angry because that's the only grandfather I have in this world. I don't know what's going on with grandpa now. If he is too worried about us because we are missing. "Maybe, your life must have been miserable. Because with that kind of attitude,

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

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

    Alessia's POVI gulped because the queen was looking at me as if she was groping me. It seems like he wants to read the contents of my brain which I know is unlikely to happen."If I didn't know you were a boy, I would think you were a girl and the afterlife of—""Enough, Natalia. 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?" Myrille asked.Angelica gave me a new fork so I used it to eat sweet potatoes. I'm still enjoying myself. Even though I feel like this, I can still pretend that I'm fin

    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.
