“Yes, both my uncle and cousin are good people.” Flashback. The Marquis and Dimitri truly were the lights of her world. It was not until she came to Coulson that she realized how deranged and abusive her past life was. Patricia never allowed Alicia to hold onto anything better than her. If she did, god forbid, she’d cause a scene or formulate a plan in secret to steal that which should belong to her. And if she can’t have what Alicia has, then… At one time, when Alicia was a child, a point when most of the young ladies would meet to form acquaintances, Patricia was unable to go due to her illegitimate status. She’d weep and cling to her father upon learning Alicia could go and she could not because of her status. “Father, if I can’t go, don’t let Alicia go,” Patricia would say. And so the Count immediately banned Alicia from outside activities. She spent most of her time confined inside the walls of the mansion until she married into the royal palace. The only people she had soc

“I have a land full of Arc Stones. I’ll give all of it to you. It’s enough for Ehrlich to use for the next hundred years.”In the past, Count Kenboe’s position in the court was not stable, more so because of his lack of experience. He’d always sneer that he rose to this position because he had a good relationship with a woman, namely Alicia’s mother. He was loud – always had much to say, always the vehement opposition force against the Queen to the point that the Queen investigated his estate out of ire and annoyance. And from there on the Arc Stones was discovered.Turns out that the hills, once considered the most useless in the kingdom, was the Nordaji Mines. They came to know that it had taken the longest of times burrowing the ground, but regardless, the mere fact of the Arc Stone’s existence was buried deep underground further increased Count Kenboe’s presence and value beyond comparison. None could ignore the Count who grabbed hold of a great massive wealth overnight.Alicia ha

“Did you say divorce?”Alicia repeated Ivan’s words inwardly.“Yes,” she nodded.“Though I am not quite sure why you want this.” A scowl formed on his lips. “You ask me to marry you, and now you want what, a divorce?”“It can be done, Your Majesty.”Coulson would have paid Ehrlich a great lump of money to take back their princess. But the moment Ivan spoke of a national marriage, another issue arose. Should he choose to give up on the princess and accept Coulson’s compensation, the public would call him despicable – that he only married the princess for her wealth. He’d be condemned.So, Alicia would intervene. She’d bring her assets. That and she needed to finish this solution as soon as possible without worries. She’ll only be married to him for a year-long anyways.“You need a marriage partner that can bring you and Ehrlich great benefits. It won’t be a great loss but a gain. Even after you divorce me, you’ll be left with masses of fortune.”Though Alicia could not say this proposa

Alicia and Ivan exchanged the documents they’d written and read through them before signing. Finally, when the storm was over, Alicia relaxed, her strength drained away. Dimitri’s life was saved and she, too, would gain complete freedom within a year.But suddenly, her face darkened soon as she remembered Dimitri. She worried for him, worried that he may try to escape.“Your Majesty, may I ask you one more favor?”***Basil quietly watched the boat carrying Alicia back to the port. Then he looked to Ivan who stood next to him. He’d been quiet as of late. Basil thought he’d be happy to finally meet his first love but he looks as if he’d explode at any minute.With this thought lingering in his mind, Basil backed away a little. He learned from past experience that it was best to avoid him at all times. Who knows what nonsense the black-haired beast would make him do. But the moment he moved out of his sight, Ivan broke the silence.“Basil.”“Ye… yes, Your Majesty!” Basil quickly ran to

The next day.In the early morning, the port was crowded with thousands of people. There, Alicia exchanged her last greetings with her uncle.“I still can’t believe I’m sending you off. What’s more… it’s all too sudden. I don’t know how I’ll explain this to Dimi,” the marquis lamented.Dimitri was still locked in prison and Alicia did not know when he would be released, only that after she leaves for Ehrlich will the royal family release him and only then would he learn of her departure.“I’ve put too much burden on you, uncle.” Alicia wore an apologetic look. She’s sure her uncle would bear Dimitri’s sorrows and fits of anger, hurling out harsh words upon learning of the sudden news. If there was any other way, then she would stay… but…“I left a letter saying it was my choice but I don’t think he’ll listen. I’m sorry…”“You’re talking nonsense. I know you did this for Dimitri, but…” He drew Alicia into his embrace and gave her a tight hug. “Don’t worry too much, alright? We’ll find

“Alice…!”Alicia could hear Helen’s sorrowful cries. She paused for a moment, bit her lips and moved on. If she turned around now, she’d lose all the composure she mustered.When she first became Helen’s companion, everyone looked at her in pity and said that she’d go through many troubles befriending the princess. But she thought otherwise. After arriving in Coulson, sickness and affliction hit her and she suffered from mild depression, something her uncle and Dimitri were unaware of. She hid it well, her sadness. They believed Alicia had adapted to the Coulson life thoroughly.But when she was alone deep in the night, when no one was there, Alicia often suffered from suicidal impulses, from suicidal thoughts… suffered from the unseen, the unheard, the silent killer… she suffered from pain that became too much to bear, too much to cope, too difficult to deal with. She could not escape it no matter how hard she tried. It followed her around like a black shadow that was slowly eating h

The man in question, Ivan, frowned at him.“What happened to the information I asked you to find out?” Ivan said.Basil wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and delightedly pulled out the letter and handed it to Ivan.“Here it is, Your Majesty. I was actually on my way to deliver it to you,” Basil laughed wholeheartedly.Ivan began to read the letter. His face darkened and he immediately crumpled the letter into a ball.“What is it about?” Basil asked.Ivan threw away the letter but Basil quickly picked it up and read through the contents. A moment later, he let out a dismal sigh.“The Coulsons locked the Countess’ cousin in jail and threatened her. The Crown Prince, along with the king’s approval, planned to kill him should she refuse to take the princess’s position. Is that why she asked for a moment of time alone with you to request that she choose you instead of the princess?” Basil spoke with a straight face rarely seen as Ivan looked at the port. “The Countess must have had a

After Basil excused himself, Alicia smoothed her wrinkled clothes. Induced with a need to do something, she sought to unpack her luggage. It was relaxing and did not take too much of her time. She barely packed. Finished, she stretched her arms and pulled the curtains back, looking at the blue sea and the deep azure. She could think of nothing than to waste her time watching the scenery that calmed her, but thereafter, her head throbbed and she proceeded to pull out the medicine bottle from her luggage. For the time being, she would have no choice but to rely on drugs.While opening the lid, the door suddenly burst open. She was taken aback as something struck her.“Ahh!!”She fell to the floor, struggling to stand as a heavy weight pressed on her body. Her wrists were locked tightly by a man that she was no stranger to.“…..Your Majesty?”Alicia noticed the identity of the assailant straightaway. It was Ivan, his countenance grave and disconcerting. While left awestruck, Ivan hardene
