Never To Be Loved Again Chapter 150
Many years had passed since the name of the late king’s son came out of Ivan’s cold lips. Count Clovis, the eldest son of the late king, spent his days in solemn silence ages ago when he and his followers pushing to elect him as king were suppressed.Basil was unsure why Ivan suddenly spoke his name out of nowhere.“Do you find him suspicious? Or perhaps you’ve something?”Ivan shook his head. “No. That’s not it.”“Your Majesty, on that day, the count attended in the early morning for a moment for the sake of formality before heading back to his place. His wife stayed behind but she did not go anywhere close to the like, merely spending the hours with other noblewomen inside the tent. Under these circumstances, I find nothing suspicious at all,” Basil argued.“I understand.” Ivan let out a deep low sigh. “In anycase, the possibilities remain. Investigate them all. You aren’t allowed to let any single person pass.”“Understood, Your Majesty.”Basil bowed and left.Thereafter, Ivan went

“What are you talking about?”“The person who shoved me behind my back. When the person approached me from behind, I smelled a certain fragrance from their body.”Ivan’s surprised gaze turned towards her. “You smelled a fragrance? Do you remember what fragrance it was?”“Yes. It was the smell of a mintbus. I’m definitely sure.”“If it’s a smell of mint, then it wouldn’t be a commonly used perfume…”Mints weren’t usually used in making perfumes. It was often used as medicine to relieve pain. This could be used as an important point of evidence.“It would have been great if I remembered that information sooner, but for some strange reason, I only remembered it after calming down.”As she spoke as if she was blaming herself, Ivan stroked her back reassuringly.“You’ve done well just by remembering it now. It’s normal that you wouldn’t be able to remember all the details when it all happened so suddenly.”“Would this be of help at all?”“I’m definitely sure it will help. We’ll use it in a

Alicia left the palace and searched for Ivan, who had yet to show his presence after lunchtime. They had spent every minute, every hour, every day together after the competition. His disappearance left a large gaping hole in her heart, oddly enough.Looking around the places he’d likely be at, she suddenly found herself in the garden where she and Ivan first met when they were but innocent children who knew nothing of the intricacies of the world.She stepped foot inside the garden and saw his graceful figure resting on the grass and sleeping peacefully. He developed a habit of scaring off his caretakers when they got near while pretending to sleep as a small child. The habit seemed to have continued on to his adult life.Alicia approached Ivan with precise wariness and sat next to his sleeping figure, wondering whether to let him be or wake him up. But a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed her.“Ah!”The small shawl wrapped around her shoulder fell to the ground as her small body

Alicia gazed into his purple eyes, prodding for any hints. His unexpected response surprised her. It was the first she heard Ivan viewing Dimitri in a positive light.“…Do you really think so?”Ivan did not reply and made a somewhat vexed face. He traced his hand around her neck and lightly pulled her face toward his chest.He had no plans—or what seemed like one—to work anytime soon, and so Alicia said with slight hesitancy, “Basil left the documents with me before leaving. If you don’t finish your work, the blame will fall on me.”“…Why did you take it from him?” Ivan clicked his tongue.A fit of slight meager anger crossed Alicia’s face sensing that Ivan was blaming her for taking the responsibility.“You’re the one exploiting and overloading Basil with piles of work! Why do you continue to overwork him like that?” Alicia criticized.“Actually…” Ivan quickly pulled out an excuse card, “Alicia, part of that… well… Basil brought it upon himself.”“What do you mean?”“…In the past, wh

“…Alicia, I won’t let you…”Ivan’s growling voice soon turned to one of deep moaning, the pitch of his voice a little higher than normal. It was a strange feeling. The more he satisfied his own desire, the more his affection toward her grew deeper, so much so that he could never possibly measure the depth of his love for her.When their lips finally parted, his expression looked similar to that of a defeated man.“…Come back as soon as you can. I don’t like being alone…” he mumbled while out of breath.“You make it sound like I’ll be gone for several days. I’ll only be gone for a day,” Rihnannan laughed, her voice a melodic rapture.“And that’s precisely why I’m letting you go. If you don’t return the night after, I’ll create a big fuss and commotion… more than when you visited my mother,” Ivan said playfully.“…I-I understand,” Alicia stuttered.Seeing her stutter in reply, Ivan smirked. Alicia tried to escape his arms of embrace, wiggling a few times, but it was to no avail. After a

“My goodness… this is…”“As I thought. I knew you’d understand the value of the book right away,” smiled Alicia, cheerfully so. “That’s right. It’s the first version of Professor Rahman’s critically acclaimed book. They say there are only a few prints left in the world. Since the duchess loves books so much, I thought you’d enjoy this book more than anything else I could ever give you.”The duchess’ eyes shone brightly, the pools of her eyes gazing into Alicia’s icy–blue eyes. The look in the duchess’ eyes was akin to rapture.“Your Majesty… I’m… I don’t know what to say… is it alright for me to possess such a valuable object?”The invited nobility noticed Duchess’ Saphia’s genuine voice of surprise and raucous happiness. They quickly fixed their expression of disappointment and awkwardly congratulated the duchess for the valuable gift she received.“Congratulations, Duchess Saphia. The gift must’ve sent you to the heavens.”“Yes. Of course. To the duchess, this book has more value th

The figure’s red flaming hair swayed beautifully under the moonlit night. Her beauty was overwhelming, enough to make one think that she was a goddess, that she belonged to the heavens. Her smooth luscious skin put the beauty of the red flower to shame. No mortal could compare to her splendor. It was as if everything around her dimmed a little to make way for her presence.The red-haired beauty stood in front of Alicia with a deep smile.“It’s been a while, Alicia,” said the beauty.Patricia… her younger sister had appeared in front of her again after six years.Alicia looked at the curvaceous figure who stood close to her. She was as beautiful as ever—red luscious hair and big eyes… rose-tinted cheeks and features that reminded one of a blooming flower. She looked no different from the girl Alicia knew in her past life.Alicia stared back, eyes in disbelief.Patricia lowered her gaze and bowed deeply.“I apologize,” she said humbly, “I forgot. You said never to call you by your name.

“Have you been well?” Alicia regained her calm and returned Patricia’s question to her.Patricia’s face frowned slightly in opposition and said, “Have I been… doing well?”“It would seem so. You’re married now.”Patricia gripped her hand to a tight fist.“Do you know how old my husband is? Do you know that… that he’s forty years older than me?”Alicia stared blankly. “Is that important?”“Of course it is! What sort of woman would willingly want to live with an old, sick man? Or perhaps… since Her Majesty is living with such a young and handsome man, you care not what happens to others?”Alicia sighed. “I don’t understand you. Why do you argue with me? Was your marriage not of your own choosing or something?”“No, it was of my own volition. It was the only way I could rise through social ranks and become a noble!”Patricia’s flaming red eyes flower with fervent passion.“But… why do you think I ended up with that decision? Was it not because Her Majesty casted me and our father out? Be
