“I didn't expect you to be alive, Lizzbeth!” The cold-toned words from King Katthias' mouth managed to break through my eardrums and made me a little surprised, so is it true that all this time King Katthias thought I was dead?“Well, unfortunately, your guess is wrong, Your Majesty ... As proof, I'm still alive today,” I replied, somehow I was able to answer King Katthias' words so smoothly, I don't know where the courage came from that made me able to speak like that in front of that man.“And here I just assumed that you were dead five years ago, I thought the news of the match I made for Hilbert and Esther was enough to frustrate you and then kill yourself ... But it turns out you didn't kill yourself either, huh?” said King Kathias, the voice that came out of his mouth made me feel as if I was so low in his eyes.Am I that insignificant that I don't deserve to live?After all, I knew nothing about the arranged marriage that King Katthias had made with Hilbert, because that Alpha

This body was then dragged unceremoniously into the execution chamber, they gave me no chance to speak or defend myself.It didn't matter if I struggled and discovered, screaming until my voice was almost exhausted to tell King Katthias the truth. “Hey, let go of me! Didn't you just let me go, but why are you grabbing me like this now? Let me go!” I screeched, continuing to try to rebel and break free from the several burly king's guards who were still trying to grab both of my wrists.Even now it felt like my hands were already starting to feel hot and sore from the constant rubbing against the palms of those bodyguards.But who here would listen to me?I'm like a prisoner of a very big offense, even though I've never done anything wrong at all. But why am I being treated so painfully? I wanted to give up and let myself be slaughtered by those people, but again the thought of the tiny baby who was currently still in King Katthias' arms made me feel so disturbed.“Miss, you'd bett

Due to my attempt to escape while the trial was in progress, King Katthias immediately decided to cancel the trial.The King had even been waiting for me in the execution chamber when I was brought there in such a weakened state. Even now, all of my lower garments were soaked with blood that kept dripping from the stitched wounds.King Katthias didn't care about any of that, he just kept staring at me with an angry gaze. I knew what the cause was, and it had to be none other than me trying to escape with a baby that he believed was Esther's.'My baby ... Crystal. How are you now, child? I hope you're doing well.' Not only that, but I also repeatedly said words of apology from my heart to Crystal because I didn't manage to bring her out to save myself as I had promised.''Bitch! How dare you attempt to bring the crown prince of my colony to escape from this palace?!'' King Katthias yelled at me in front of everyone, his voice even booming throughout this room.Meanwhile, beside King Ka

“Crystal was going to be killed by your father,” he said out loud. “As soon as I found out you allowed that crazy man to be here, I took off without a second thought.”I couldn't ignore him. David suddenly turned serious. He got up from the floor, wiped the blood off his face, and walked over to me.“Now, ready to tell the truth?” he said to my face. “Lizzbeth will die today. this wedding is just a distraction that Esther planned. She predicted your father would kill Lizzbeth, so she deliberately kept you away from her and Crystal with this party.”My jaw hardened. The hot flood of emotions inside my head suddenly boiled over and exploded, along with my tightened fists.David wasn't entirely right. This party was my own plan. I made my father shut up about this party so that he would let Crystal and Lizzbeth go.But who would have thought Esther would use me to make her move? That damn Alpha woman.“How did you know about that?” I asked, reacting a little late to the information he ga

“Amelia ... How could you?” My father fell to his knees, his legs unable to support him.“I thought you ...” His tears began to fall. “I thought you were dead. All this time ... I thought you killed yourself because you no longer wanted to live with me.”My mother looked at my father with such cold eyes. It was unbelievable. Despite being mean to me, I knew my father loved my mother very much. And likewise, my mom loved my dad very much.Then this was the first time in my life, witnessing my mother's eyes so full of hatred. My father's cries seemed to have fed her up. It was like I was looking at another woman.“Katthias. You've gone too far,” she threw out with an angry look on her face, and her hands clenched into fists. “I thought by killing myself, you could repent and reflect on your mistakes. But even after I left, you still haven't changed?”Now, I understood what she meant.My mother, Amelia, did commit suicide. But that suicide failed.She threw herself into the river in the
