Alicia slept through the night alone and with a heavy heart.

And then... The night passed, and the morning came quietly.

Alicia made her way to the princess's palace. Helen was in a state of shock within the palace's walls. Helen rushed towards Alicia, the confident-looking girl, and wrapped her arms tightly around the silver-haired girl for a tight hug.

"Didn't you hear the news last night?" Helen stated. "What do you think is going to happen to us now?"

"Don't be too worried, princess. Ehrlich's king must understand how dangerous it is to turn Coulson against them. He is not a moron." Alicia gently patted Helen's back and comforted her.

"Do you really believe that?"

"Yes, and most importantly, the threat of the Toulouse Empire looms over us." First and foremost, he despised Coulson's constant meddling in Ehrlich's internal affairs. Fighting a full-fledged war benefits neither party."

Alicia did not comfort the princess with lies because she believed them herself. She saw no logical

    The conference room was deafeningly quiet. After learning of their defeat, they were filled with rage, but now only a somber tune could be heard."But won't this become a national wedding?" It's not like this hasn't happened before. We don't need to be concerned..."The prince snorted in response to the nobleman's remark. "Your example is completely incorrect. Previously, when both sides married for the sake of peace, unity, and harmony, and this time we're forced to unilaterally give up our princess as if she's a mere pawn? "Did I get that right?"“No… I…”The nobleman's brow furrowed. He closed his mouth as he sensed the atmosphere deteriorating.The noblemen next to him began to speak up one by one."It's an unusual request, to say the least. I've heard that in Ehrlich, there had been a number of repeated arguments about the king's marriage, but the king himself vehemently refused each time... until this time, when he unexpectedly requested a national marriage.""I wonder what the

    "Damn it!" Marquis Cheney cursed as dark thoughts ran through his mind.What if Ehrlich's king truly desired the princess' hand in marriage and later became enraged upon seeing Alicia? All of his resentment would be directed at his niece. He would never allow it. He couldn't and wouldn't."Alicia is unqualified for the job. She is a frail and vulnerable person who still has nightmares. She will be unable to hold the title of Queen. "Please reconsider," the marquis pleaded."So you'd rather my only sibling, my sister, suffer?" The crown prince's golden eyes shuddered.The nearby noblemen breathed quietly as they saw his steel-hardened face.“That’s…” Marquis Cheney tried to come up with a defense, but he couldn't think of anything. He eventually shut his mouth because he knew that any further resistance would only lead to worse consequences for him and his family."Don't be too concerned, marquis. When your niece was a child, she lived in Ehrlich. She is accustomed to their way of life

    Short chapter.The marquis went into great detail about what happened at the emergency meeting of state affairs a few hours ago. Ehrlich was able to encircle Coulson in the sea and officially convey the king's intentions via an envoy. Ehrlich desired peace and harmony, never antagonizing Coulson. As proof, he requested that a royal member of Coulson be sent to him. She is going to be his queen.Alicia listened intently to the story, her face stiff.Finally, the marquis concluded, "At first, everyone was furious because they thought Helen'd become Ehrlich's tool, but after a consensus that a royal lady could be anyone, you, Alicia, were chosen... I'm sorry I couldn't be of assistance."The marquis' face flushed with guilt and his head drooped. Alicia was beautiful, but beauty was often the cause of a nation's downfall. He believed there would come a time when he would abandon her..."So you want to send Alicia to Ehrlich and kill her? You can't be of assistance, so you give up? What d

    "....Dimi, uncle, it's late. Let's take a break for now and talk again tomorrow."Alicia sent them out of the room while rubbing her brow. If she does not treat their wounds, an irreversible scar will form.She exited the study room and noticed Latty outside on standby. Her deep brown eyes were swollen with tears. She dashed over to Alicia."Oh, Miss..." Latty moaned.Alicia gave a bitter smile. "Did you hear it all?"Latty nodded and wiped her tears. "Yes, I heard it earlier when the door opened. Is it true, Miss? Will you have to go to Ehrlich rather than the princess...?"Alicia was unable to respond to Latty's inquiry. She had no idea. She had been constantly worried about Helen until today, but everything had changed. She now had to be concerned about herself."Uncle said he'll figure something out. Don't be too worried, Latty. I'm exhausted and need to rest. You should as well."Latty nodded, still in tears. "Yes, Miss. I'll take you to your room."Latty led Alicia to her bedro

    "Who... who..."“Shh…”Alicia struggled to speak with her mouth closed, but she couldn't stop herself from hearing that familiar voice."Dimi?" she asked softly, her beautiful silhouette glistening in the moonlight streaming through the window.Dimi, her cousin, pressed his finger to her lips and quietly said, "Be silent."Alicia was taken aback when Dimitri handed her a coat, shoes, and a hat and said, "Put this on first.""What is it, Dimi?""I'll explain on the way." There isn't any time. Come on. Hurry.”Alicia hurriedly dressed up in response to his urgent request. Dimitri grabbed her hand as she put on her shoes and exited the room. She was led from the dark mansion into the stable.Dimitri hurriedly mounted Alicia on the horse and climbed up behind her. The duo had only taken a few moments to leave the mansion."Dimi, be honest. What exactly is going on?" Alicia inquired after reaching a state of calm. Regardless, Dimitri remained silent and continued their journey in silence

    Short chapter. Next chapter will be long and lengthy.“Alice!”Dimitri pounced on Alicia, immediately embracing her in his arms and shielding her from an unknown object.Alicia and Dimitri looked up and saw stones shining brightly around them. They realized what it was and their face quickly hardened.It was an ore named Arc Stone and categorized as one of the rarest minerals in the world. When burned, it produced light and heat without odor. Every nation made great to acquire Arc Stones. For its usefulness, the masses titled the ore Lord of Light.Apart from its purpose to burn lights, arc stones had far too many purposes – one included flying through the air to reveal their target. Though the problem was the rarity of the stones. It was not easy for regular folks to have one in their hands. Only the powerful and wealthy could afford such luxury and Alicia and Dimitri know fairly well who wielded that power in Coulson.A few minutes later, a dozen men appeared in the light the stone

    Alicia was to wait until the following morning to meet the crown prince. Meanwhile, Dimitri was sent to prison and Alicia locked and confined in the mansion. She was under heavy surveillance and unable to do anything. She only had a small leeway until the promised meeting with the crown prince. Until then, she needed to go to the princess. Only she could help her.“But… I can’t meet her right now…”Not mentioning her confinement, she’d have trouble entering the palace. Besides, there were guards outside the mansion preventing her from escaping. But… there was a guard nearby standing still and proper. She walked to him.“Please pass this message to the princess… Alicia wants to meet you.”However, the guard did not react. He lacked the slightest sign of willingness to convey her words. Alicia sighed dismally. As she tried to look for alternative methods, someone from the outside barged in.“Lady Alicia!”It was the princess’s old nanny.Alicia smiled and welcomed her. “Nanny, is the pr

    When she thought of this, she lost all her energy. Why does she struggle so hard? The future won’t change no matter what she does. She was tied to him. For a time, Alicia stared forward absent-mindedly ‘till a sudden flick of wings buzzed in her ear.Chirp, chirp!A shrill cry of the bird rang out. The bird, who earlier fought with the snake, circled around her. It sought Alicia’s help after seeing her familiar figure.Rihanann turned around and looked at the bird’s nest. Only two baby birds were left, the rest swallowed by the snake.Chirp, chirp!The bird chirped again, hurriedly and anxiously. Understanding its intent, Alicia picked up a wooden stick lying on the ground and ran straight to the tree. She threw the stick at the snake whose venomous fangs crept closer to the baby birds.Wack!The snake, hit right on the head, fell off the tree. It was unconscious for a moment before it crawled quickly into the grass. It disappeared and peace was found once again. The bird circled arou

If he stayed in the human world for too long, he’d lose all his divine powers…”The man who was reading the book out loud paused for a while and looked at a particular direction in his audience. There, there was a little girl with the same hair color as him. He saw her yawning while little eyes narrowed with displeasure, as though wondering why he’d stopped. The man resumed reading the book.“In the end, Eiheim had no choice but to leave the woman he loved and to go back on earth. However, he wept for the love he had to leave behind on the human world and those tears turned into rain.

In front of her there was a huge plate filled with food. There was an abundance of seafood. Next to her was a worker who looked at Ivan with widened eyes.“Ivan?”Alicia quickly took her finger out of her mouth and looked at him. She asked again, nervous.“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”The inn worker looked alternated glances between Ivan and the sword in his hand, his legs shaking.“Oh… it’s just… it looked like your wife was pregnant, so I was only asking if there was anything she disliked so I could bring something else…”Since Alicia had taken her robe and coat off, she was wearing a light dress that showed her bulging belly clearly. It seemed that the inn boy had noticed it and was only asking whether she liked the food.Ivan felt ridiculous for getting angry over something like this.No, more

    Translator – Yue“Salerno Inn”Alicia read the old sign that was hanging atop a building. It was an inn, so it definitely offered food and shelter to travelers.“It would take us around two hours to reach your mother’s mansion. It might be faster if we rode my horse together, but you can’t while pregnant… if you don’t want to spend the night in a place like this, then I’ll find another way…”Ivan murmured while trying to assess Alicia’s reaction. He knew that the inn was old and gloomy. He’d spent some nights here before himself but he knew that it was different for Alicia, who’d only lived in mansions and palaces. She might even find this place repulsive.He did not want the news of them here to spread too much, which was why he’d chosen this place as he could keep their identities hidden. But… perhaps he should have thought of Alicia more. Maybe it would be best to go to someone else’s house and reveal their identity so they could spend the night somewhere more comfortable.As he ke

    Translator – YueAfter listening to Mrs. Cessly’s words, Ivan immediately hopped on a horse and sprang to port. This time there was no Basil by his side, it was just him. While he galloped top speed, the events from these past six years came to his mind.When he arrived, the ship had already sailed. He was too late, again.He felt an empty space in his heart. He got down his exhausted horse and slowly walked to the edge of the beach. He had a desperate expression on his face.He stood there looking at the horizon when he felt something hot. There were hot tears trailing down his face. All the tears he’d held back all this time suddenly broke free.Despair and desolation surged from inside him. He sobbed and cried.Six years ago, when he’d missed her just like this, he’d managed to hold back his tears since there was still hope of seeing her again in the future. Instead of desolation, he turned his back to this very sea with the hopes of seeing her again soon.However, this time it was

    Translator – YueThe Port of Salerno remained unchanged. Tall, imposing walls surrounded the beach. There were numerous houses with scarlet-colored rooftops everywhere. A seemingly endless turquois-colored. Everything was as calm and beautiful as before.There was only one ship resting on the shores. A white, modern, elegant ship.When the Queen’s carriage arrived to port, the usually hectic port city suddenly turned tranquil. The carriage’s door opened and the Queen descended from her vehicle surrounded by her guards. She was wearing a thick coat, hat and gloves all made of silver fox fur, as though she was planning on going somewhere far colder than Ehrlich. A little while later, the ship’s captain approached her.He took out his cap and bowed to the Queen of Ehrlich.“Greetings to the most honorable woman in Ehrlich, Your Majesty the Queen. May Elheim’s light always shine upon you.”A smile came up to Alicia’s lips.“Greetings, captain. I’ll be under your care.”The captain pointed

    Translator – YueT/N: The chapter we’ve been waiting for?Mrs. Cessly wailed and started savagely criticizing Ivan.“This is all Your Majesty’s fault. It’s because you allowed the Queen leave for Coulson. Why did you do that?”“All I did was give her a choice.”“A choice?”“I told her to choose. To stay here, or to leave with the baby.”“Why on earth did you tell her that?!”“There’s a reason behind my marriage to Alicia. I lied to her and forced her to come here.”“Ah, I remember the Queen told me something like that. That Your Majesty did not wish to marry her, but Princess Helen. Is it related to that?”Ivan nodded.“Yes. I had no choice. If I had proposed to Alicia, she would have run away from as fast as she could.”Mrs. Cessly looked at Ivan intently with a complex look in her eyes. Seeing that Mrs. Cessly’s head was spinning top speed to find out what could possibly make Alicia want to run away from Ivan, he added in a slow voice.“She definitely didn’t owe me money nor anythin

    “Alright. Go ahead, do it. Call me if you need any help as well.”“I will.”When their conversation came to an end, Ivan slowly rose from his seat. Alicia got up as well. Just when he was about to turn around, Alicia spoke.“I wish for you to stop feeling guilty of all that’s happened to me.”Ivan’s eyes focused intently on Alicia. For some reason, she found it hard to look him back in the eye, so she averted her gaze.“I don’t dislike you anymore, Ivan. I’m grateful to you for letting me live my life again and leave this place with my baby.”“Grateful…uh.”While he bitterly mumbled to himself, Alicia nodded her head.“After all, you did put in a lot of effort in saving my life. I’ll make sure I do everything in my power to live a happy life from now on. I’m not completely alone anymore, after all.”Alicia placed a hand on her belly.“Once this baby is born, I’ll only let him see and listen to the most wonderful things. I know I can’t stop the darkness of this world to reach him, but

    Translator – YueAlicia’s jaw slowly opened.“When you say, ‘a chance to end this marriage’…”“You never wanted to marry me in the first place. You were forced into it because the Crown Prince threatened to kill your cousin if you didn’t.”“But why are you giving me this? This marriage will automatically end in a year, anyways.”Their contractual marriage had a time period clearly stipulated. Alicia couldn’t understand why he was giving her a choice right now.“If you want to end this marriage, then you don’t need to wait for the time to be up to do so. I’ll make sure you leave this country safely first thing tomorrow if you so wish it.”“Then… what will happen to the baby I’m carrying…?”Alicia’s voice faded. Her eyes darted to the contract clauses. There, she herself agreed on leaving all rights concerning the child to Ivan if she were to get pregnant. With the opportunity he was giving her, she’d be able to flee and hide somewhere far, far away, and he’d never be able to claim his
