Chapter 300

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

Miona said.

 

“Alice. I’m marrying your father.”

 

With a face sparkling and glowing with happiness.

 

“Karl and I decided to hold a joint ceremony together next week at Sister Dana’s engagement party. Duke Windsor has given his permission too.”

 

Oh my! She’s talking crazy again!

 

“I’ll try to be a good stepmother to you. Please take care of me from now on, Alice.”

 

Please! Please stop distorting reality!

Alice wanted to smack Miona on the back and give her a lecture. But on the other hand, she felt a bit sorry for her, so she just left her alone.

‘She was suffering from lovesickness and finally went crazy.’

Alice knew that Miona had a one-sided love for Father.

Even before Father divorced, from the time when he was happily lovey-dovey with Sandra, Miona had a crush on Father.

But even so, to fall into an imaginary world where she’s marrying my father.

‘It’s also pitiful.’

My poor maid. I should comfort her well from now on.

That’s what she thought, but…

“How does this look, Alice?”

Alice was stunned.

Being attended to by numerous maids, Miona asked.

“Is it too fancy for me?”

Then the maids dressing her up waved their hands dismissively.

“Not at all, Lady Miona.”

“It suits Lady Miona so well. You’re truly beautiful!”

Even from Alice’s perspective, Miona looked too pretty right now.

Is that the power of a wedding dress?

Sparkling, beautiful as if glowing…

Miona is really getting married.

Next week. With my father, at my birthday party where I should be the protagonist, wearing a wedding dress I’ve never even tried on.

‘Right. I’ve never tried on a wedding dress either.’

When the wedding ceremony with Lyos was approaching.

Alice was pregnant with Knox so her belly was swollen. The dress wouldn’t look pretty on her, and she was feeling quite unwell at the time, so they didn’t hold the ceremony.

‘Right. Miona held a proxy wedding for me.’

Lyos also held a proxy wedding ceremony with Count Cedric as his representative.

Having proxies for weddings was something that often happened among royals and nobles.

So I couldn’t wear a wedding dress then… but Miona…

“Alice?”

When there was no answer, Miona asked curiously. Alice barely managed to reply.

“Mmm, it’s pretty, but you look a bit bulky…”

Then, as if to stop her words, enthusiastic praise poured from around them.

“No way, you’re truly so beautiful, Lady Miona!”

“Of course. It suits you so well!”

“I think you’ll match wonderfully with Karl!”

Overwhelmed by the momentum, Alice closed her mouth.

Today, Miona had invited close acquaintances to the wedding dress showcase.

‘Didn’t she originally have no friends except me?’

But when did she make so many friends?

That wasn’t all. Alice was very bothered by the ring Miona was wearing right now.

That ring…

‘Isn’t that Father’s ring?’

A ring with a sparkling amber gemstone. It was the ring Father always wore preciously.

Miona was wearing a ring that looked exactly the same.

Of course, on the finger next to it was an incredibly large diamond ring as well.

‘Father must really love Miona.’

So he must have made an identical ring and given it to Miona as a gift.

A sense of loneliness washed over her.

“But did you hear? This time a student from Saint Rosa Academy died.”

“I know. It’s so ominous. The murderer needs to be caught quickly.”

“How many has it been in the Empire now?”

“Including this victim, it’s the thirty-first. And they’re all faithful believers of Ramun, isn’t that really scary?”

“Could it be the work of Diana’s religion? Seeing how they only target Ramun believers, it’s likely another religion.”

“I don’t think so. Diana’s religion and Ramun’s religion are trying to achieve harmony these days.”

“Right, in that situation, Diana’s religion wouldn’t have done such a thing.”

Alice’s ears couldn’t even hear about the recent ominous Ramun believer murder cases in the Empire.

She was too sad, too miserable.

‘That’s too much, Father.’

Father.

When I asked Father to become my lover, he rejected me with sarcasm saying ‘You’re just like your mother.’

What am I lacking compared to Miona?

Why are you giving such a ring to Miona and not me?

Then what about me? Who will love me now?

“Huuung.”

Finally that night, Alice curled up in bed and burst into tears. She drank an entire bottle of whiskey alone while crying and crying.

“Huk, huuung, uuung.”

It was just like that time. When Sister Danae first appeared. When only Sister was bathed in light, and I alone was buried in darkness.

I had forgotten and lived for a while.

This maddening jealousy, this depression – I couldn’t bear it at all.

“What’s wrong, Your Imperial Majesty the Empress?”

How much had she drunk?

When she was completely drunk and objects appeared doubled or tripled, a maid asked worriedly.

“Nita…?”

It was Nita, the maid Mother had assigned to her.

Alice shouted with a slurred tongue.

“Where the hell did Mother go! Why can’t I contact her!”

“Don’t worry. Sandra is in a safe place right now.”

“Call Mother, I have something to say to her!”

“If there’s a problem, please tell me.”

To you?

Alice sniffled. However, perhaps because she was drunk, her resentment poured out without hesitation.

“I don’t know if His Majesty loves me. Huuung, His Majesty too, and, Father too. Father seems to like Miona more than me. Why, why not me-!”

Maid Nita, who had been listening to the drunken rambling for a while, nodded with a serious expression.

“In short, Her Imperial Majesty the Empress wants to know Emperor His Majesty’s true feelings.”

“Yes. Hic. Huung. That’s right.”

“Also, you want to wear a wedding dress and have a wedding ceremony with Karl Windsor instead of Miss Miona.”

“Ung, huung. Yes, yes.”

She nodded for now, but-

Is that so? Did I say that?

I don’t know. It seems like I did, but also seems like I didn’t.

My head hurt, and everything in front of me was dizzy.

“Both are possible.”

What does that even mean.

Or am I drunk and hearing nonsense?

“Let’s solve the first problem first.”

Then, Nita took out a medicine bottle from her bosom. It was a pretty sky-blue medicine in a small tulip-shaped glass bottle.

“If you drink this, you can experience astral projection.”

“Huh?”

“It means your soul leaves your body. You become invisible to anyone’s eyes.”

“Eh?”

“I hear His Majesty is currently having a conversation with Duke Lumiere Roland. How about eavesdropping on them?”

What is she saying. Don’t talk nonsense. Alice wanted to tell her not to lie, but perhaps because she was drunk, her thoughts weren’t flowing properly.

“R-really?”

Instead, only these words came out with her tongue loose.

“Wouldn’t he open his heart and talk to a close friend?”

“But how would you know that. They might not be talking about me and discussing something else…”

“So, won’t you do it?”

“…”

No, that’s not it.

But what am I trusting to drink that?

-she thought, but soon remembered that Mother had told her Nita was a more trustworthy maid than anyone.

‘Right, they’ll mention me at least once. I’m His Majesty’s wife and Brother’s younger sister.’

I don’t know. Just drink it! I don’t care if I die like this!

Alice downed the medicine in one gulp in her drunken state.

 

* * *

 

And she really arrived at Lyos’s room in soul state.

“-like this?”

“Yes, next week, as planned.”

Really amazing!

Alice looked down at her translucent body.

‘I’m not seeing things because I’m drunk, right?’

With this body, she passed through walls and doors. Her soul had truly left her body.

Moreover, it seemed she really was invisible to the two men’s eyes. Alice watched Lumiere and Lyos sitting on the sofa drinking.

‘The duration is 20 minutes, right?’

She was told her senses would gradually fade and her soul would be pulled back to her body.

So please, she could only hope they would have a meaningful conversation within that time.

“Then I’ll be going.”

“No, not yet. Sit down. I have something to ask.”

His Majesty stopped Lumiere who was about to leave. Lumiere obediently sat back down on the sofa.

“What are you curious about?”

“That child back then, it was yours, wasn’t it?”

“Pardon?”

“Dana was pregnant, you know.”

“…”

“She miscarried quickly.”

“…That’s right.”

“I was only worried about her health then and wasn’t sad at all.”

Lyos spoke in a cold voice as if analyzing a stranger.

“I understand now why I wasn’t sad then. I never believed that child was mine until the end.”

“…”

“It was your child, wasn’t it, Lumiere?”

“How many times must I tell you we didn’t have that kind of relationship at that time?”

“I absolutely can’t believe it. You betrayed me back then.”

Lyos sneered mockingly.

“You probably know who your real father is by now, right? You’re a bastard with the most lowly, cheap blood. You’re the type who would betray me again without hesitation.”

“If you won’t believe me anyway, why do you keep asking? Think whatever you want.”

Lumiere shot back in a slightly irritated, sharp voice. Then he soon smiled and ran his fingers through his hair.

“Ah, but this time it might be possible.”

“What?”

“If Danae becomes pregnant this time, it will likely be my child.”

“Tell me what that means.”

“To put it politely, it means my bloodline’s seed was left in her womb, and to put it crudely, it means I couldn’t hold back and came inside.”

Crash!

As Lyos roughly swept the table, the whiskey bottle and crystal glass flew off and shattered loudly.

“Why? I spoke like the lowly cheap bastard I am, but didn’t it please you?”

Lyos, who had been breathing heavily, soon spat out in a vicious voice as if chewing his words.

“Get out.”

“I’ll follow your command.”

Lumiere stood up. Soon the sound of heavy footsteps walking away and the door closing could be heard.

Alice stared blankly at the scene.

She saw and heard everything.

‘What on earth does this mean?’

Brother and Sister Dana?

No, more than that, Sister had a miscarriage once?

The fact that His Majesty suspected that child wasn’t his bloodline means Sister Dana claimed it was His Majesty’s child.

That means they, the two of them, had a sexual relationship.

‘When?’

When exactly?

And while never, not even once, having relations with me. I’m your wife, so how…

How.

‘How can this be?’

It felt like the alcohol was instantly sobering from the massive shock.

‘Liar! Cheater! Bad man!’

Betrayal blazed up like flames. Burning with intense hatred, she wanted to rush at Lyos and slap his cheek. However.

Was the time gradually running out? Her vision began to blur.

Her sight became hazy, and her hearing faded.

Her soul was slowly, slowly returning to her body.

‘Bad man, I won’t let this slide, I’ll come confront you the moment I return to my body!’

And that was when it happened.

“Huu.”

Then, Alice heard a certain sound.

Lyos was letting out a sigh.

No, it wasn’t a sigh. This was….

“Bad bitch.”

A voice completely cracked and wet.

It was a voice she had never, not even once, heard from Lyos before.

“I’m going to kill you.”

This was like, this voice was like.

“I’ll kill you, you, I’ll kill you. Bad bitch. Huu, damn it, this, bad….”

A voice filled with hatred cracked completely with excitement and scattered. The sound gradually quickened, then Lyos’s groaning voice rose and became agitated.

Shortly after, a suppressed, short and sharp breath finally burst out from Lyos. Through her blurred vision, she could see his body stiffen and his back arch.

And once, twice, three times, four times…, and once more, the sound of something wetly soaking the floor at length could be heard.

Finally, all sounds stopped.

In the heated silence, only ragged breathing drifted heavily, and then.

“Dana.”

That voice, falling like a guillotine blade with a thud.

“Dana….”

In that moment, Alice wanted to die.

No, she wanted to kill.
