Alessia's POVI moved quickly. I entered an open balcony. My chest suddenly heaved when I saw the woman. Even if I don't ask or find out, there is no doubt that she is the queen of Valeria. Elijah married her.I don't know his name, but I've seen him before. In Mythion, where Elijah rests. She was the most beautiful girl I saw. The same girl I got jealous with. I still remember how stunned I was when I saw her coming out of his room when I looked for him.I swallowed. I don't understand how I feel. I feel no love for Elijah, but I can't help but feel betrayed. I felt betrayed."It was her...all along..." I said softly. I don't know where that girl came from, but I know Elijah brought her. I never got a chance to know his character.I feel betrayed for the third time. Suddenly my anger prevailed in my heart. I don't feel love, but raging anger. I feel like I want to leave right now and leave this place. But I know I can't do that.I took a deep breath and controlled myself. I can't get
Alessia's POVI slowly faced the source of the voice. The large and familiar bulk of the man immediately appeared in my eyes. I cannot see his face clearly because of the shadow and darkness. Light and darkness compete because of the poles and plants. But even with his voice alone, I am certain who this person is."Your majesty..." I said and bowed a little and then stood up straight. I did not foresee, for him to reach out to me this early.I guess I can no longer avoid him. Just the first day we will talk immediately. If this is what will happen, then let it be. It's better to clear things between us as soon as possible."Alessia...can I...will you allow me to talk to you?" Elijah asked me politely and politely. I can't see his expression but somehow, I can tell that he's nervous.You are already talking. My mind blurted out. If I am immature, maybe I already walked out right now or became angry the moment he spoke. But I am not childish. I can still reign my slowly rising anger. I
Alessia's POVMy head was throbbing in pain when I woke up the next morning. Even though I was tired yesterday, I couldn't sleep well because of what Sushi said. Sushi's conversation with me did not end there.I wondered why my blood needed the tree of life. Sushi explained that to me. So in the past several thousand years, there was no living tree of life, because it needed a tool to be mixed with the soil to grow it. That is the blood of a virgin.I suddenly remembered that I was wounded before while I was returning the flower that Sushi destroyed and my blood mixed with it and I didn't notice that the golden seed was also mixed with it.The tree now needs my blood to restore its life. It doesn't matter if I'm still a virgin or not because it's sealed that only my blood can restore its life.But Sushi didn't agree to let me do that because it wasn't that easy. Because the tree is already big, it will also need a lot of blood especially and I left it for several years.What Sushi sai
Alessia's POVWe have reached the place where the colosseum will be built. That's familiar to me because I've been there before, that's when I had an anxiety attack. This is the vast plain and soon, a colosseum will be built on it.The surveyors were busy measuring and we joined them. Benjamin was busy explaining about the place but I wasn't interested in listening to him. I can already tell the type of soil, there is also no fault line because there is not even the slightest trace or sign.I am just a little sad to know that some of the trees here will be cut off. So I guess, we need to include the landscaping with trees. Willow trees do not fit the area and somehow, are not fitted at home because it is often inhabited by ghosts. It's just a belief, but still, people are following it. So willow trees are only found in parks and not in homes.The measurements for the colosseum were also finished there and they gave us the full size."His total is 101 thousand square meters." One of th
Alessia's POVI do not know how I got back to my room. I just found myself sitting on the floor hugging my legs. I curled up in a corner as my tears continued to fall.I feel so mixed that I feel like I'm going to explode at any moment. Whether I admit it or not, I was surprised by what Elijah said. I didn't expect them, but instead of me softening, I just felt angrier and there was no room for the love I was looking for for a while.My tears are falling because I don't know who they are for. Is that like myself who has endured and been hurt for years and will only know that it was all on purpose? Or because I was hurt by something that didn't make sense? Why do I feel like it's easy for Elijah to manipulate me? Did he not trust me so he did all that? Was he unable to trust me during those times?I can't explain it but there seems to be a part of me that seems to crumble but I don't know where it is. I don't love him anymore...I stopped thinking because of those words in my mind.How
Alessia's POVI do not know how I slept last night because I only realized myself waking up the next morning. I still feel heavy and there is no change. I have woken up, knowing that I am cursed. Is there nothing more difficult in my life now? Is it enough or will it have more to come in the coming seasons?But no matter what I do, I know that I can't solve it if that's all I do. The options were laid down already and all I have to do is to choose the right way. But my current feelings right now, make me want to stray in the wrong direction. To be honest, I don't care if the king will die. I don't feel any remorse or fear at the moment, but thinking that Aiden will be affected changes everything. If the king will die, the dark force will be leading.I sighed because of the burden I am carrying. I got up and took a quick shower. I also need to start making the floor plan of the Greenhouse because I will do the architectural design of it. Architectural design is especially difficult and
Alessia's POVImmediately I saw the sentinels surrounding us. The handmaiden is smiling in a sinister manner like saying, my fate is in her hands. She's looking at me wearing a proud smile.But before I could say anything, the sentinels suddenly bowed so the handmaiden and I were both surprised and looked at the sentinels now bowing."Lady Condor, we apologize for this mistake. The dear king is in the office and you can come there at any time." A familiar sentinel said that I looked carefully but I couldn't remember his name.I am really bad with names—No! It's Ariadne! I remember because it was with us in Eleftheria and Callora Grande!This group of sentinels is way too familiar to me, especially since we have gone on multiple adventures in the past."Thank you, Ariadne," I responded to him and he was even surprised because I remembered his name. In its reaction, it seems to be very happy. I looked at the handmaiden now that the words were missing from where she was standing and she
Alessia's POVI glared at Elijah but I didn't say anything. I won't gain anything if I reject what he says."I saw your designs. I don't think we still need to compete." Elijah said to me still not leaving sitting on my bed.I looked at the balcony where my miniature designs were placed. I know he meant those, not the floor plan. He won't be able to understand the floor plan alone."That's not mine." My promise is short. I am making those for Ales."You made them." There was a sound of protest in Elijah's tone because of my response."But it doesn't mean that it's my design," I answered him again sounding indifferent. It's not a big deal for me anyway."Are you planning to give out your design to someone else?" Wrinkled when he asked me and I didn't answer. He already knows the answer even without me saying it. "Alessia, that's your design!""Your majesty, I don't plan on staying here for long. I don't even want to be here in the first place. If I didn't come here, I wouldn't have bee
