"What are you doing? Get him out of here now!"The employees exchanged glances and quickly turned their gaze away from him. They recently examined the documents, which bore the lawyer's signature and were certified by him. And based on what they had heard, they knew that if they supported the Count, they would be kicked out of the mansion with him."You... you"Alicia, who was quietly watching, parted her lips open."Eject the Count and his child politely."When Alicia's voice faded, a few strong servants moved. The Count did not realize his current situation until he was forced to leave."Al... Alicia! You're a jerk!""Don't worry, father. You will receive a minimum pension."Her voice was cold and devoid of any warmth."It won't be enough, but it will be enough to make a living and have a roof over your head." Regardless, I am still your daughter..."“Alicia!”Ignoring the Count's shrill voice, Alicia descended the stairwell slowly. Patricia, on the other hand, was perplexed by the

************(Flashback)Anna Corty suffered humiliation as a young, naive princess. She was imprisoned in the castle for failing to recognize the signs of impending rebellion. She vowed she would never make the same mistakes again.Anna temporarily arrested the nobles who supported the late king's sons after learning of their malicious ploys and plot.Anna was correct.The nobles resisted vehemently, but their efforts were futile because they were quickly imprisoned due to damning evidence that no one could deny. If their plans came to fruition, it would be considered retaliation.So, before they could act, Anna severed all of their limbs.The late king's sons hid from Anna's gaze from then on.Since then, Anna has worked on a number of burdens and tasks in order to establish a strong, centralized government, including fixing the tax system, disbanding the nobility-affiliated knights, and weakening the aristocratic empire.The reigning Queen gained a notorious reputation as the most f

(The flashback continued)"Will my wish come true?"The young boy inquired."Of course," she said. Dimi did it. He held the feather and wished long and hard, and Myastra appeared."“Dimi? "Who is he?""My cousin." Dimi is extremely knowledgeable."“Hmm…”The boy pondered something and returned his gaze to the yellow feather. Alicia's expression darkened."Do you dislike it?""No, I like it, but I was thinking you should write that wish.""However, you saved the bird.""Yes, but we did it as a team." The idea of saving the bird would never have occurred to me if it hadn't been for you. Accept it. Consider it my gift to you."Alicia's face lit up at his reasoning. She, too, desired the legendary feather."Wait, didn't you say Myastra?" Is Dimitri your Coulson cousin?"“Yes.”"Are you also a Coulson?""I'm an Ehrlich. I was born and raised in this town.""What is your name?"A womanly voice from afar rang out, Alicia's lips opened, about to answer the question repeated three times.“Ali

Flashback continued…Alicia knew he despised the wedding, and she hoped he'd be the one to break their marriage first.If he declares they will not consummate their marriage before the true sexual intercourse between the two takes place, there will be a commotion, but... she will be able to avoid a marriage she and Ivan did not want.Of course, she'd be stigmatized as the woman who divorced on the day of her wedding. She'd never marry again, and who'd marry a bride who had been abandoned by the King on the first night?Perhaps she will never be accepted back into society.But that was sufficient.It was a better option than living with a man who was unloving. She didn't want a man who reminded her of her father. Alicia would rather hear whispers behind her back than live her life knowing her husband had no feelings for her.“Yes…”Alicia managed to respond to Ivan by closing her eyes tightly.No one wanted a Queen around from the moment she was found guilty of disloyalty to the King.

(Flashback continued)"If you don't mind, I'd like to spend some time alone with my wife." Please excuse me."Alicia looked at Ivan, surprised, at his sudden remark. She'd only just met her cousin for the first time in ages, and she didn't want her and Dimitri to split up so quickly. She hadn't spoken to any of her Coulson relatives since her mother died.It wasn't until she was an adult that she discovered her father deliberately interrupting their conversations in the middle, fearful that Alicia would escape his grasp and the power of her foreign family.She couldn't, however, afford to turn down Ivan.Alicia bowed her head in surrender.Dimitri noticed her agitation right away, but there was nothing he could do to stop Ehrlich's king. He didn't have the authority to oppose him, at least not right now."Alice is a lovely young lady. Please look after her. She's priceless."Ivan laughed."I appreciate your advice, but my wife is no longer a child. It's past time you stopped referri
