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

“AHHH!!”After Alicia and Mrs. Cessley were at a far distance, Basil snapped and grabbed his hair in a fit of rage.“Your Majesty! Why… why would you stand there and do nothing? If she already had tea, then immediately suggest a meal together! If not a meal, then suggest a merry walk! If not a merry walk, then anything! But… you should’ve tried to say something at the least! Why’d you let her go? Don’t you understand that it’s rare to meet them coincidentally like that?”Basil couldn’t understand this… this uncanny beast. From the looks of it, he had no inkling intention of repairing his relationship with Alicia. None at all. Basil thought he’d warm up and beg for forgiveness after Alicia covered his sleeping body with a blanket, but instead… he became cold and avoided her presence even more.Basil couldn’t wrap his head around it.What was Ivan doing? Basil knew he wanted her back, so why was he not making any effort?“Argh! Your Majesty, please say something. The only way you’ll be

Alicia sighed relievingly, thinking of the people she brought to her side and winning the masses goodwill. She’d participate in politics actively this time and if all goes well, the people will realize that she was no doll but a queen with position, a figure sitting on the throne of power and influence.As she prepared setting up suggestions to propose the gambling forgiveness law, she used the remaining time left knitting the shawl she planned to give the Queen Mother.She thought it’d take a few months to complete her work, but because she had more time herself to concentrate on the work, the shawl was completed in less than a month.Smiling, Alicia placed the shawl inside a neatly prepared box before sending it to the Queen Mother.Not long after, Alicia received a letter of reply back from her. The feel and texture of the letter were of high quality, a testament the Queen Mother received the shawl and replied back in genuine gratitude.A strange feeling washed over her for a momen
