Never To Be Loved Again Chapter 52
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

Ivan’s mouth dropped to the floor, dumbfounded that Basil would change his mind at immediate notice from Alicia’s simple request.Before going out, Basil left with his last word. “Miss, I’ll be standing right outside the door. If anything happens, don’t hesitate to call me.”As the door closed, the room grew reticently quiet.Alicia sighed and looked at Ivan. “What happened, Your Majesty? You almost broke my ribs.” She pointed her finger at the medicine glass bottle that fell on the floor. “…..Why did you do that?”“What medicine is that?” Ivan asked, his glance stealthy.Alicia picked up the glass bottle and put it on the table. “It’s the medicine I’ve been taking since I was a kid, a collection of herbs that helps ease my tension. What’s wrong with this?”“It’s a problem.”“Why?”“You’ll become Ehrlich’s queen soon. Everything you touch must be thoroughly tested, be it food or medicine. Don’t you know that?” Ivan said with a straight face.“That’s true, but….” She who remained reser

Basil entered Alicia’s cabin snappily and ready to drag the black-haired-beast by the foot if need be. This was the best opportune time to gain Alicia’s favor. She would become Ehrlich’s queen soon. Once this happens, well… then it was time to switch sides.Ivan, on the other hand, was not finished with Alicia. He grunted and parted his lips, but Basil quickly shouted, “Your Majesty, if you’re done with your business, let’s go!”Ivan’s sharp eyes immediately flashed a deathly glare towards Basil for his sudden interruption.At his resentful gaze, Basil clicked his tongue inwardly.‘I’m just helping you. It will only get worse for you if you stay here any longer, Your Majesty.’“Your Majesty, please come this way!” Basil said, his tone proud and ever so brave.At Basil’s repeated urging, Ivan was forced to back down. He gnashed his teeth and said to Alicia, “…..Rest well.”And so, Ivan was driven straight out of the cabin pitifully. As soon as Basil closed the door, Basil tried to quic

“How…”As she looked at the view with a face full of surprise, Ivan said, “You probably won’t see them for a while. It’s hard to get here from Edirne. It’s also a good time to greet your mother. And it just so happens that we’re close to the harbor.” Ivan got off the wagon first, then he stretched his hand out to her and smiled lightly. “I can’t give you much time because of our tight schedule. Go and say hello. Your people miss you.”“Lady Alicia!”Soon as Alicia jumped off the carriage, people poured out of the mansion at once en masse. They chatted freely amongst one another as they saw a carriage emblazoned with the royal seal in front of the mansion. Then in front of their sight was a silver-haired woman getting off the carriage, her hands clutching onto a man. The memories of their young lady came to mind. She had grown up… and she had returned, at last…“Oh my god, My Lady, how could you not give us notice in advance…!” Mrs. Burns, the head chef, hugged Alicia tightly. Tears s
