Alicia immediately denied it but the Queen’s words echoed in her mind.No.It can’t be.“I have a question too, Ivan.”Ivan gave a nod, an indication to ask away.“Her Majesty said to me that every time I came to the palace when we were just kids that you were always there at a distance looking at me. She said you wanted to get away, but it’s not true, right?”A while ago, he had driven her to the corner as if a hunter chasing a rabbit, but now the tables have turned.His face hardeTed immediately.“As you know, I won’t ever lie to you,” he looked at her nervously and sighed quietly, “Heh. I didn’t think a counterattack would happen so quickly, but yes. She’s right.”“…Why?”“I wanted to see you again.”“Me? Why…?”“I liked you. I ended up liking the girl who interrupted my rest in the garden. Even after finding out you were the daughter of my mother’s friend and my mother’s goddaughter, I couldn’t stop liking you.”‘And I only realized too late that I did like you… and horridly terri

“Mrs. Cessley, I have one more question I’d like to ask of you.”When Mrs. Cessley hurried her to sleep, Alicia grabbed her arm and looked into her eyes.She hesitated momentarily before parting her lips, “Do you happen to know the name Patricia?”Mrs. Cessley tilted her head. “…I can’t remember well. What is her noble status?”“I saw it in the book you gave me. Her last name is Olbach, and I understand that she’s the wife of Gaith Olbach.”“I vaguely remember. If that’s the case, it’s most likely that he’s a distant relative of Count Clovis.”“Count Clovis…”“Yes. The former king’s first son.”She knew the name fully well. Count Clovis was the former king’s eldest son. He lived a private life and hid in the shadows and was hardly ever seen in public gatherings. The former king’s small loyal supporters planned to place him on the throne and replace Ivan.“A few years ago, Gaith Olbach, the viscount, remarried. The person you’re asking for might be that woman. I’ve encountered his form

“Alicia, my father once told me that there is nothing greater in life than a woman. He’s right. You look beautiful, my dear niece.”Alicia was a gorgeous bride, the most beautiful in the world and no one could dispute this, but he knew how disarmingly unaware she was of her prettiness. Her silver-colored crown decked with jewels and her traditional bridal robe embroidered with silver and gold thread reminded him of the time when her mother married.The marquis sighed, eyes overwhelmed with emotion. “I’m reminded of the time when I sent my sister to Ehrlich. I took her hand during the ceremony on behalf of my father who was not feeling well at the time… funny isn’t it? Seems like I’ll be holding her daughter’s hand as she marries a man from Ehrlich.”Alicia smiled and stroked his hand gently. She heard that when her mother married, her uncle had much to say and objected to the marriage. She’s sure that this was not the marriage her uncle hoped for.“Uncle, where’s Dimi? He didn’t come?

Arriving at the front of the palace, Alicia and Ivan stepped foot out of the carriage. Countless men and women waiting for their appearance quickly shouted in elated joy.Petals fell from the sky like a never-ending snow.Ivan held Alicia’s hand warmly and headed to the grand hall where the wedding ceremony would take place.A magnificent and beautiful place was heralded in display. Everything… was… perfect. She recited the same oath she once said and held the wedding ceremony in the same order – a kiss from the groom, the king, and to the bride, the queen.Alicia slowly closed her eyes remembering her previous wedding. He lifted the veil covering her features. Alicia kept her eyes shut and waited for the procession to pass quickly. But even so, she felt nothing touch her lips. Curious, her eyes fluttered open and looked at the man whose gaze seemed far away.Purple eyes…Those purple eyes that once stared at her with cold anger, like it wanted to stab through her in her past life, wa

“His Majesty will be here soon.”That night, in the Queen’s Palace, Alicia was changing her robes as she sat on the bed listening to the Mrs. Cessley talk about Ivan.He’d make his way to this room at any second and Alicia knew fully well that a series groups of aristocratic men would bear witness to their consummation.She’d been silent since earlier and Mrs. Cessley took notice of it and held her hands. “My Queen, do you remember what I spoke of yesterday?”Alicia nodded, her smile bitter.Yesterday morning, Mrs. Cessley spoke in great detail what would occur on her and Ivan’s first night. It was her mother’s duty to instruct her, but she had long passed, so the Duchess stepped in and took the mother-like role for Alicia.Her former Maid of Honor had, too, been instructed to teach Alicia what to do on her first night, but she was no help, only telling her to remain still and follow her husband’s instruction.Alicia was ignorant of what occurred during the consummation process, only

“…Where are all the others?” Alicia whispered audibly.It was only her. Ivan too. Witnesses from both kingdoms should have surrounded the bed with white curtains drawn by now. But it was empty.“Most likely enjoying the wedding reception banquet.”“…What do you mean?”He poured a glass-half-full of liquor and passed it to his wife. She took it half-heartedly. He poured another glass for himself.“It’s a wedding and it’s only natural a reception is held to celebrate the bride and groom. They’re most likely dancing, drinking, playing, and fooling around. They won’t be home until after dawn.”True. A reception was as natural as the passing of time. Even now, she heard the rambunctious echoes of excitement and melodies playing from here. But this was not the answer she sought for.“They won’t be coming? The people who would bear witness to our…”“No.”“Yes?”Ivan looked into the eyes of the girl he loved… like the blue of the sea cradled by the moonlit night. He loved the rain, the ocean,

As she talked to him, the prior nervousness and tension corroding her body faded. She extended her glass to him.“Don’t worry. I know we’ll argue sooner or later, but I’ll do all my duties faithfully as your wife during this one-year-contract,” Alicia smiled, waiting for another glass of drink.Ivan took back her wine glass.Her icy-blue eyes immediately widened. “Why’d you take it? I wanted to drink some more.”“I gave it to you to relax, not to get drunk.”“I wasn’t nervous. And I’m not drunk.”“You’re not now, but one more drink will send you to the edge. Besides, you’re freer to talk to and you’re open to talking about your thoughts when drunk. It’s not bad, but not tonight.”He set down the glass on the table and approached her.“It’s time,” she thought.Though, originally, drowning in carnal pleasure should have begun as soon as he entered the room, but it had been delayed due to their conversation.He’ll soon entangle his body with hers. She knew what it was now and the fears s

“Hug me, Ivan.”At that moment, she took his breath away but her physical presence reminded him to breathe. He stared at her soft lips and slowly leaned over the bed. The distance of their faces shorteTed as the bed sank a little under his weight.And then… he kissed her.She tasted of wine; it was like taking a sip of eternity, of the sun, of the stars, of the sky…The touch of her lips filled his core with desire as if fire raged within his bones and as if his soul became water…Their lips rubbed, gently. The feel of her lips… the softness… it melted him away, no, ignited his soul.He caressed her hair and cupped her cheek, her neck, and embraced her with all that he could give.She raised her hand slightly and her lips parted a little.His tongue penetrated her mouth.“Ah…”Her tongue had been pushed back.Roughly.Her tongue was covetous, he thought.Instinctively, she pulled back and ran away, but he followed her. Persistently.He twiTed his tongue with hers.His heart pounded.V
