Alessia's POVWe have continued our journey to the city of Valencia. We were out of the forest and now I could see a fork in the road leading to the same big road in the city. I don't know where a road leads from Valencia. Immediately I saw the towering barrier, surrounded by high walls and a gate made of solid iron.Maybe the kingdoms are like that because the palace of Valeria can be found here too. I see some before us who I think are merchants who want to sell in Valencia from other kingdoms.The sentinels are looking at what I think is a permit and they are also checking the carts of the merchants. After being tested, they let them in.The sentinels saw us and immediately became alert. Everyone there bowed as soon as they saw us.I frowned and wanted to look at the man behind me who was maneuvering the horse, but I couldn't ask because I felt that he didn't want to be asked.I kept quiet even though my mind was full of questions, why the fellow sentinels respected them so much. H

Alessia's POVSister's smile on her lips is not torn. This is what he wants, he is the one who wins. All his life, his mind was running in the competition that he was the only one doing. I never competed with him."Sister, you know we're not for this world. We're just an accident—""Shut up, Alessia! It's probably a good thing we had an accident because I'm fed up with the world where you're always the best. You're the only one who's beautiful. You're the only one I like and you're the favorite! Do you think I'm happy with my life who is just like your shadow? Who is always compared to you? Why? What do you have that I don't have? You know what makes me the most angry? We are related by blood but you are still better than me! Why not just I became you?" there is a tinge of envy that he sikmal towards me. All resentment and anger has been released by him. "Alessia, I don't want to leave this world, only because here I feel the importance that I never felt in my own family!"I don't kno

Alessia's POV"Did you and Elijah fight?" Stefano asked me. It frowned as if troubled."N-no. Why?" I wanted to ask him but I couldn't help but register in my mind what happened yesterday in the stable."Why is he like that? He doesn't want to mention your name and he doesn't call you even when he needs you?" it surprised me. "Admit it, do you have a fault with him?"I frowned because of his accusations. "What is my reason for us to fight? What will be my fault if he summons me and meets me once in a while?" I answered him because I didn't want to think that I was really the reason why Elijah became like that."Because I'm always hot-headed and I've been yelled at several times especially when I mention your name. So I can't think of any other reason than that," he answered me and scratched the back of his neck.I shook my head. "I don't remember us ever fighting. Except yesterday when we met—""What happened yesterday?" he immediately asked and his face changed into curiosity."W-wha

Alessia's POV"Sister, where is the necklace that grandpa gave?" I asked him because I noticed that he wasn't wearing it."Oh, that cheap necklace? I don't know. I threw it away when they brought me here. I'll take an old and cheap necklace if there are more beautiful ones here?" he promised me proudly as I clenched my fist. She doesn't know the value of the necklace just because she got new and grander ones."Sister, didn't you even value the single thing that grandpa gave you? It wasn't given to you, you took it from me by force, and now, you say you threw it away? Never, Sister, did it ever happen to ' that necklace is yo. You are no different than a thief and an opportunist." I am interested in him. I want to slap him but I stop myself. I'm angry because that's the only grandfather I have in this world. I don't know what's going on with grandpa now. If he is too worried about us because we are missing. "Maybe, your life must have been miserable. Because with that kind of attitude,

Alessia's POV"Mr. Ales, the king is calling you," Angelica told me while bowing. It moved very formally."Where is the king?" I asked him. I stood up from where I was sitting in the hospital room."He's in the meeting room," he replied without looking at me."Alright, I'm going," I answered him.I left the room first and Angelica followed to do what she had to do here in the palace. Angelica helps in planting fruits. He digs and buries the seeds. They found out that everything Angelica plants is alive, so she is the one to work on those things. That's what we call green thumb.I made my way to the gathering room. What I know is that the officials will have a meeting here at the palace. I have a strong feeling that Elijah will join me in this gathering, as Stefano said before.I haven't seen any officers who behave in the way I'm passing so I walk faster. I saw the door of the room. There was a sentinel watching and he bowed to me and opened the door.Immediately, a long table appeare
