When a middle-aged man with round-rimmed glasses entered, Alicia sent Latty out under the guise of bringing the carriage over.

For a brief moment, the man stared at the small, little girl on the big chair before quickly bending over to bow.

"Lady Alicia, I heard you called me. "What's the problem?"

"First, take a seat."

The man nodded and sat on the chair closest to him, his face filled with questions. He couldn't understand or comprehend why the young lady had summoned him.

He'd had the good fortune to meet her on occasion, but he can't recall any memorable conversations aside from the obligatory greeting. He'd always seen her as the quiet little girl who stayed close to her mother and had hair and eyes that were unique to the northern part of the country.

Today was the first time he had properly heard her voice.

He suddenly realized he'd never expressed his condolences to the girl and expressed deep regret.

"I am deeply sorry for your loss and extend my heartfelt condolences." May she rest forever under Elheim's wings."

"Thank you very much."

He was taken aback by her calm response. It had only been a day since the funeral... it was natural and normal for a child her age to cry.

"....May I inquire as to why you called me? But first, I brought the documents that were requested of me, but..."

"I'd like to look at my mother's wedding contract, as well as what I'll inherit."

Ted's mouth drooped to the floor for a split second. He questioned his vision and wondered if the young lady in front of him was 22 or 12. No, even if they were 22 years old, the majority of noblemen and noblewomen were either oblivious to the situation or carefree about it.

"How could it be..."

"Do I need to ask permission to see it?"

"No, but there must be a guardian present, as well as his or her agreement." Count Kenboe is your current guardian."

Ted was taken aback by Alicia's soft smile in response to Ted's words.

"That means you won't show it to me unless Father gives you permission."

"That's not the case..."

"Ted Gowan, make sure I don't send a letter to the palace today unless you show me the documents I requested right now."

Alicia raised her chin. Her silver eyelashes fluttered, and she had a cold, dry expression on her face.

"The Queen is the one who will be receiving this letter. In it, it claims that Count Kenboe and Ted Gowan, a lawyer working for him, are stealing money from the government and, as a result, it asks for a comprehensive and accurate investigation.

Ted paused for a moment, his lips quivering, but he quickly regained his clarity and donned on the face of a seasoned lawyer.

"What do you mean?" What is embezzlement? Miss, are you having a nightmare? I understand the shock and sadness you've been experiencing recently, but this is too much..."

"Of course, the Queen will be intrigued by the letter's contents, surprised that a 12-year-old child is accusing her own father." Aren't you surprised? And I'm sure the Queen will send someone to confirm whether what was written in the letter is true when she receives it. Given my relationship with the Queen, it's not that difficult to predict. What are you going to do now, Ted Gowan?"

Ted's face turned ashen gray in an instant. She was correct. The young lady had a close friendship with the Queen. Her late mother, who died recently, was an old friend of the Queen. That, and the fact that she and the queen were blood relatives from the royal family of Coulson.

Furthermore, the Queen was Alicia's godmother. If Alicia wrote what she told him, the Queen would almost certainly send her men to the check because she was her goddaughter.

And the Queen was the country's most powerful woman. Her son, who became King a few years ago, is still young, so she controls all current state affairs.

Furthermore, she married into another family of royalty and became Queen. Her son was the King, and her family was royalty, with her father being the King. The Queen was a one-of-a-kind case, unlike previous royal brides.

In fact, she was supposed to be King at first.

That was due to the fact that she was a princess and the heir apparent nominated as the next King before her father, the late King, died.

  • Never To Be Loved Again   Epilogue

    Epilogue (1) – DimitriTranslator – YueYears later.“…and Elheim truly loved his human woman. But he was a God, pure and divine, so he could not remain too much longer on earth. If he stayed in the human world for too long, he’d lose all his divine powers…”The man who was reading the book out loud paused for a while and looked at a particular direction in his audience. There, there was a little girl with the same hair color as him. He saw her yawning while little eyes narrowed with displeasure, as though wondering why he’d stopped. The man resumed reading the book.“In the end, Eiheim had no choice but to leave the woman he loved and to go back on earth. However, he wept for the love he had to leave behind on the human world and those tears turned into rain. At the same time, a baby was growing inside his woman’s womb, a baby created from their union. This baby was born strong and healthy, and she had an incredible power. She had the power to turn himself into a bird. In the human w

    Translator – YueT/N: This is the end, so extra-long chapter for today?Ivan irrupted into the room, sword in hand and a murderous look in his eye… to see Alicia licking her fingers. In front of her there was a huge plate filled with food. There was an abundance of seafood. Next to her was a worker who looked at Ivan with widened eyes.“Ivan?”Alicia quickly took her finger out of her mouth and looked at him. She asked again, nervous.“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”The inn worker looked alternated glances between Ivan and the sword in his hand, his legs shaking.“Oh… it’s just… it looked like your wife was pregnant, so I was only asking if there was anything she disliked so I could bring something else…”Since Alicia had taken her robe and coat off, she was wearing a light dress that showed her bulging belly clearly. It seemed that the inn boy had noticed it and was only asking whether she liked the food.Ivan felt ridiculous for getting angry over something like this.No, more

    Translator – Yue“Salerno Inn”Alicia read the old sign that was hanging atop a building. It was an inn, so it definitely offered food and shelter to travelers.“It would take us around two hours to reach your mother’s mansion. It might be faster if we rode my horse together, but you can’t while pregnant… if you don’t want to spend the night in a place like this, then I’ll find another way…”Ivan murmured while trying to assess Alicia’s reaction. He knew that the inn was old and gloomy. He’d spent some nights here before himself but he knew that it was different for Alicia, who’d only lived in mansions and palaces. She might even find this place repulsive.He did not want the news of them here to spread too much, which was why he’d chosen this place as he could keep their identities hidden. But… perhaps he should have thought of Alicia more. Maybe it would be best to go to someone else’s house and reveal their identity so they could spend the night somewhere more comfortable.As he ke

    Translator – YueAfter listening to Mrs. Cessly’s words, Ivan immediately hopped on a horse and sprang to port. This time there was no Basil by his side, it was just him. While he galloped top speed, the events from these past six years came to his mind.When he arrived, the ship had already sailed. He was too late, again.He felt an empty space in his heart. He got down his exhausted horse and slowly walked to the edge of the beach. He had a desperate expression on his face.He stood there looking at the horizon when he felt something hot. There were hot tears trailing down his face. All the tears he’d held back all this time suddenly broke free.Despair and desolation surged from inside him. He sobbed and cried.Six years ago, when he’d missed her just like this, he’d managed to hold back his tears since there was still hope of seeing her again in the future. Instead of desolation, he turned his back to this very sea with the hopes of seeing her again soon.However, this time it was

    Translator – YueThe Port of Salerno remained unchanged. Tall, imposing walls surrounded the beach. There were numerous houses with scarlet-colored rooftops everywhere. A seemingly endless turquois-colored. Everything was as calm and beautiful as before.There was only one ship resting on the shores. A white, modern, elegant ship.When the Queen’s carriage arrived to port, the usually hectic port city suddenly turned tranquil. The carriage’s door opened and the Queen descended from her vehicle surrounded by her guards. She was wearing a thick coat, hat and gloves all made of silver fox fur, as though she was planning on going somewhere far colder than Ehrlich. A little while later, the ship’s captain approached her.He took out his cap and bowed to the Queen of Ehrlich.“Greetings to the most honorable woman in Ehrlich, Your Majesty the Queen. May Elheim’s light always shine upon you.”A smile came up to Alicia’s lips.“Greetings, captain. I’ll be under your care.”The captain pointed

    Translator – YueT/N: The chapter we’ve been waiting for?Mrs. Cessly wailed and started savagely criticizing Ivan.“This is all Your Majesty’s fault. It’s because you allowed the Queen leave for Coulson. Why did you do that?”“All I did was give her a choice.”“A choice?”“I told her to choose. To stay here, or to leave with the baby.”“Why on earth did you tell her that?!”“There’s a reason behind my marriage to Alicia. I lied to her and forced her to come here.”“Ah, I remember the Queen told me something like that. That Your Majesty did not wish to marry her, but Princess Helen. Is it related to that?”Ivan nodded.“Yes. I had no choice. If I had proposed to Alicia, she would have run away from as fast as she could.”Mrs. Cessly looked at Ivan intently with a complex look in her eyes. Seeing that Mrs. Cessly’s head was spinning top speed to find out what could possibly make Alicia want to run away from Ivan, he added in a slow voice.“She definitely didn’t owe me money nor anythin
