After the Queen Mother had lost her position, power, and authority, most turned their backs on her, ignoring her name and existence. It was a natural occurrence when one thought about it. After all, who would pay attention to a royalty who had lost all her powers?However, here was Alicia—an outlier— who took care of her after returning from Ehrlich. She was not someone who would easily disregard the care someone gave her.When someone is put in a difficult situation, one will only see the true value of a person who once had a relationship with the other party. Mrs. Cessley knew that Alicia was the kind of person who saw the goodness in others.“I’m sure the Queen Mother would be happy to receive a gift from you, My Queen. How about you make one for His Majesty too after you finish sewing that one? He’ll love it as well.” Mrs. Cessley smiled, sneakily asking a question in the heat of the moment.Alicia smiled awkwardly. “I wonder. I don’t think men would like presents like these in pa

She wanted to honestly let out the words that the sole reason she’s pushing him away was not that she didn’t like him, but the memories of her past still haunted her to this day.But she couldn’t…It was an unbelievable claim, and even if Ivan believed in it, it’d not solve the situation for she had already believed that she was not meant to be with Ivan.Perhaps it would have been better if she didn’t have the memories of her past. Thinking so, Alicia smiled bitterly. Maybe she’d not fear the unknown nor the future she knew would happen… and maybe… she’d not push him away like this either.Alicia grabbed the blanket sitting next to the couch and spread it on top of him. The temperature of the room was too cold to leave him without warmth.That’s right…She’s only making sure his cold doesn’t worsen…This was the only reason, the justification she made in her mind as she walked back to her room and quietly closed the door.***Basil stared at the king’s face with a wildly blank expres

Ivan’s hand holding the teacup froze in an instant. He looked up stiffly and asked with a serious and lower toTed voice, “Basil, what is that woman’s name?”“It’s Patricia Olbach, Your Majesty.”As Basil watched Ivan’s expression grow gravely alarmed, he breathed deeply and cautiously asked, “Do you know that person, Your Majesty?”“She’s… Alicia’s sister… an illegitimate child that bastard father brought from the outside,” Ivan grit down his teeth hard.“H-huh? Are you talking about the sister that had been kicked out by Her Majesty alongside her father back then? My goodness… what a coincidence…”“No. It can’t be a coincidence… not when that vile woman is involved.”Ivan pushed his chair away from the table and violently rose from his seat. He paced back and forth near the window for a moment before looking at Basil.“Is it possible that Patricia also participated in Duchess Saphia’s banquet?” Ivan asked.“I don’t know for certain, Your Majesty. However, if you asked Mrs. Cessley th

One example was the Queen Mother. After all her power had been stripped of her, she had neither the capability nor the will to bring harm to her in this timeline. Therefore, Ivan allowed Alicia to care for that woman.If it made Alicia feel comfortable and as long as she was willing, then so be it.However, for Patricia, she somehow avoided the changes in fate. Though her life was no longer the same, though she lived anew in a different environment, she was still that wicked and greedy woman he remembered her to be.He knew her wicked deeds would never end if he didn’t put a stop to it.Ivan put the golden feather back to the box.Alicia treated Patricia with generosity not with death but to be thrown to the side. Patricia paid the price for her wicked deeds in the past and now it was time to judge her of her wrongdoings in this life.***As the relationship between Ehrlich’s king and queen grew more distant, slowly but surely, the horrid news began to spread inside the palace. With Co

Alicia smiled, thinking of the tea party that would be held in a few days. Unknown to Mrs. Cessley, she’d been properly preparing her mind for the upcoming tea party.She grew tired of the situation of which her position kept changing depending on the affection she received from the king.This needed to change.Whatever happens so that she’s able to spend the rest of her contracted time without complications, she needed to make sure the nobles understood that she was a queen to be feared, that her power was a given separating her relation to the king.As planned, the tea party began.The place the party was held was in a garden full of magnificent flowers blooming incandescently. The heaven-like sight was a rare thing for the nobles to see. They were normally not privy to view the garden. It was this reason alone why the garden was specifically chosen.As expected, the court ladies’ reactions were good.“The garden is extremely beautiful, My Queen.”“You’re right. The flower petals sw

Though everyone was aware of the queen’s hidden and double-edged meaning behind her words, Marquess Pless was ignorant of it. She simply did not realize what would become of her.Her expression looked smug as she quickly mouthed her words, muttering, “That’s right. I’m always on your side, My Queen. Pardon my rudeness, but I see you as my friend, a close friend, My Queen. And when rumors spread, is it not the duty of a friend to tell each other rather than hiding it? Is this not what true friends do?”Duchess Saphia turned her head slightly and snickered.Mrs. Cessley fanTed herself despite the temperature being cool enough. It had more to do with the atmosphere’s rising awkwardness.Regardless, among the court ladies present, it was only the marquess who grew vIvanously energized by the topic.“That is why, My Queen, I’d like to know… is there no problem between you and the king? I’d like to help you out. Please be honest.”The noblewomen nearby tried their best to look disinterested

Though she denied the rumor just seconds ago, she immediately returned with a question that sounded akin to admitting truth.While the noblewomen shook their heads in utter disgust, Alicia smiled lightly.“Instead of me lending you a loan, there’s a more certain way to deal with this.”“…What would that be?”“I’m sure you already know of this. My father met an unfortunate end as he had gambled his life away.”“Of course. I know this very well…”Marquess Pless could not understand why the queen suddenly spoke of Count Kenboe, her late father.The engines in her mind began to turn, quickly trying to find an answer in her head.“I was solemnly struck with sadness learning of his death and it had become a shadow in my back for a long time. Even if I parted from him, the blood relation between us still exists. I was upset and saddeTed. That is why as queen, I’m willing to use my right to propose a new law to the State Council.”“When you say a new law…”“It’s to make the money borrowed for

“My Queen, how did you hear about the rumors surrounding Marquis Pless? He indeed built up some few debts through gambling, but we were left in the dark not knowing it’d be that high.”After the tea party came to an end, Alicia and Mrs. Cessley, laughing merrily along the way, went back to the palace.“And did you see the faces of those noblewomen? They looked stunTed that you knew so much about her. Did you see all them shivering from the bottom up hoping that you don’t know about them as much as you do about Marquess Pless?”Alicia smiled, muttering, “It was simply a passing rumor I heard by chance sometime ago. In truth, I wouldn’t be able to do much to the marquess if she dismissed it as a false rumor, but she took the bait immediately. She looked anxious to solve the problem, too.”In the past, the House of Pless was pushed to the edge of bankruptcy due to the amount of debt accumulated through gambling. And then, they hit rock bottom, their status and position falling in society
