Chapter 201
“I’m sorry, Noah.”
Dana apologized calmly.
“I didn’t know things would turn out this way either.”
“Then cancel it.”
Noah demanded in a voice crushed by anger.
“Cancel it right now.”
“….”
“How can you even think of becoming my sister-in-law? Don’t be ridiculous. I’d rather die.”
However, the anger was just a disguise. As it always had been.
Dana discovered that Noah’s eyes were submerged in enormous fear. And she realized once again.
Noah really loves me.
“I’m sorry. But Noah. This is….”
Dana cut her words short.
“This isn’t like a real marriage. It’s just a strategic alliance formed out of mutual necessity.”
It was nothing more than a temporary agreement that would be torn apart once their needs were fulfilled. Dana felt uncomfortable, but deliberately spoke calmly.
“We’ll have a child and then separate.”
“…A child?”
“Yes.”
“You’re going to have a child. With my brother.”
“Yes. For you, Noah, it would be your nephew.”
Dana deliberately spoke bluntly.
Noah would find out anyway. It was better for him to know everything all at once now.
Noah glared at her with a face that seemed ready to shatter at any moment. He looked both extremely angry and as if he might cry right now.
Then he spat out as if vomiting.
“Don’t you know how I feel?”
At the voice that felt almost desperate, Dana lowered her gaze. Noah continued.
“I’ve been, ever since I was young.”
“….”
But that was the end.
Noah’s lips closed. As if completely blocked, they didn’t part anymore. It seemed he knew everything would come crashing down the moment he let it out.
“I’m sorry.”
Dana didn’t particularly want to hear it either.
“That’s why I’m just sorry things turned out this way. I’m sorry.”
She felt sorry seeing the big man-child just trembling. She was genuinely sorry to Noah too.
But that was all.
Dana had no intention of staking her life on Noah’s love games.
A cold silence flowed like that. How much time had passed?
“You don’t need to be sorry.”
Before long, Noah’s face had become calm.
He no longer trembled.
He just glared at her with eyes filled with extreme disgust and fierce hatred.
“I should thank you instead. For letting me know what kind of woman you are, even if it’s now.”
“….”
“I should have realized it from when you touched my body so casually.”
Then he pulled something from his pocket and threw it roughly. A small box hit the wall and rolled away.
“I’m also disgusted by cheap women who go around seducing this man and that man with their bodies.”
“…I’ll pray you meet a good woman.”
“Cut it out. I don’t need your filthy prayers.”
Noah spat out viciously.
“Go ahead and live your life playing around with that vulgar body of yours.”
With those words, he turned around. He strode out of the room with large steps.
Dana quietly watched his retreating figure, then looked at what Noah had thrown.
A small box covered in red leather and lavishly decorated with jewelry.
She slowly reached out and picked it up.
Click, she opened the lid.
“….”
It was a ring.
Dana quietly stared at the large diamond.
‘He chose something pretty.’
Soon after, she closed the box again with indifferent eyes. And she realized calmly.
Noah’s first love had just ended.
No, it had changed.
Into an emotion of deeper and hotter temperature.
In the form of hatred.

“What?”
Alice bolted upright.
Then Wilhelm carefully supported her shoulders.
“Oh my, you need to be careful, Alice. What if the baby gets startled.”
“Your Majesty. What did you just say?”
“I heard that Viego Windsor has a fiancée.”
Viego Windsor is getting engaged!
It was a shock as if heaven and earth were turning upside down.
No, that stone-like man is getting engaged?
And most importantly.
“The other party is my sister?”
Alice’s mind went completely blank.
Viego Windsor’s fiancée was Sandra’s hidden daughter.
Which meant she was also Alice’s sister!
“Her name is Danaina Rolland, they said.”
“What about her age? Is she older than me? Is she my younger sister or older sister?”
“Well. Why don’t you ask your mother Sandra?”
Wilhelm’s eyes held an obvious look of contempt as he said this.
“Ah. Maybe she has so many illegitimate children that she can’t remember.”
For a moment, Alice felt a surge of emotion. He’s insulting our mom in his mind!
―Even so.
‘Mom, what are you really trying to do?’
She had already given birth to Lumiere with another man even before marrying dad.
This time it seems she had an affair during her marriage and gave birth to a daughter.
‘Really, mom. No wonder dad divorced you.’
After divorcing mom, Karl had disappeared without a trace.
Alice was worried about Karl. For dad to go missing for this long. He seemed to have been greatly shocked.
Well, considering mom had forty-seven lovers, it was understandable….
‘Still, I hope Father would visit at least once when I have my child.’
Alice pouted her lips.
Right. Father must come back. Maybe Danaina Rolland could be Father’s daughter after all?
‘That’s right. Mother had so many affairs that he might have mistaken her for another man’s daughter.’
Alice made up her mind.
When Father returns, she would persuade him to reunite with Mother.
‘Surely Father will be happy to have a new daughter named Danaina.’
With that thought, her feelings toward her disagreeable new sister became a little more generous.
Father and Mother. And Brother Lumiere and the new sister Danaina too.
Alice was determined to achieve a harmonious family reunion.
“By the way, Alice. You threw away the tea your mother gave you, didn’t you?”
“Pardon?”
“That tea she said was good for your insomnia. The one I told you not to drink.”
Alice pressed her lips tightly together.
Alice had suffered from insomnia since she was very young, and Mother would give her tea leaves that were supposedly good for insomnia.
Without that tea, Alice could barely fall asleep—
‘Why does he have to control even what I drink?’
Wilhelm had secretly taken those tea leaves to examine them, then said they were unidentifiable tea leaves and forbade her from drinking them.
Of course, Alice was secretly drinking them.
Mother gave them to me. What could be wrong with drinking them?
“What you drink is the same as what my son in your belly drinks, so shouldn’t you stay away from suspicious things of unknown origin?”
“….”
“Only if the mother is careful about everything will a healthy golden-haired son be born. Be mindful of your actions.”
How annoying.
Alice was getting tired of Wilhelm.
He was conservative and always tried to control every single action of Alice’s.
‘And why does he keep saying the child in my belly is a son? It could be a daughter.’
After Wilhelm left, Alice headed to Lyos’s office. Whenever Wilhelm became tiresome, meeting Lyos made her feel better.
“…Your Majesty?”
A room thick with cigar smoke. Alice coughed as she quietly entered the room.
‘Where is His Majesty….’
She stopped short in surprise.
Dozens of liquor bottles were rolling around on the floor.
“That bastard won’t do.”
And Lyos was lying stretched out on the sofa, smoking a cigar.
“Viego Windsor, this is betrayal. You can’t dare do this to my sister. Someone like you, making promises….”
Was he dreaming, or seeing hallucinations from being drunk? He muttered toward empty air.
Just how much did he drink?
He didn’t even seem to notice that she had entered the room. And how many cigars had he smoked….
“Dana.”
“…!”
What did he just say?
Alice hurriedly left the room. Her heart pounded ominously.
‘What did I just hear?’
Dana?
Is he looking for Sister Dana right now?
Intense anger surged to the top of her head.
How could this be?
When his wife at full term was about to give birth, how could he think of his former lover?
This was emotional infidelity and character assassination! And what on earth did Sister Dana do to His Highness that even now—
“Ah!”
Just then, Alice collapsed from a stabbing pain in her belly. That wasn’t all.
Her water broke.
“Your Imperial Majesty!”
“Your Majesty, are you alright!”
Employees passing by hurriedly caught and supported her.
Alice gripped them tightly.
“A, a physician. Quickly.”
The child was trying to come out.
