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
Alessia's POVWe are inside the hospital room. There is no one there and I don't know if Anisto still comes in here. I put medicine on Aiden's cheek because I know it will pass, especially since Aiden's flesh is still soft and Nicola is slapping him hard. Even though I beat up Nicola, I still get annoyed every time I see Aiden's cheeks turn red."Aiden, what exactly happened?" I asked him. I don't know the whole story yet. Even though I know that Aiden is guilty too, it is not right for him to hurt the child. She's a grown-up woman, she should know how to control her behavior."I was touring around, mom. I was with Sushi, then suddenly that girl demanded us to leave." It answered me. "I didn't say anything to her at first. I decided to ignore her, but she suddenly grabbed my arm."Aiden frowned even more. "Then why are you just strolling alone? You are not familiar with this place, Aiden." I preached to him. I know that Sushi is good enough to be Aiden's guard. But in the eyes of othe
Alessia's POVIt was a jaw-dropping appearance is what I saw in front of the mirror. My hair was curled like a beach wave beautifully. There was even gold powder sticking on my hair strands. I am wearing a golden wreath. My lips are as colorful as ripe peaches. My long and thick lashes framing my eyes are more emphasized. The golden dress looks too good and perfectly fits my body and my skin color. I look like a goddess from Olympus!"Estrebelle, don't I look too much? Can we reduce it a bit?" I started this because I feel it exceeded my expectations.Estrebelle shook her head. "We don't have time, Lady Alessia."I wanted to complain but I didn't because it was my fault too. But I didn't think it would improve his work so much."Let's go." I just promised him so I can go to the trial. I didn't think about where Aiden was, because I didn't want him to go to trial.It is worth noting that there are many guests that I am not familiar with. Often among them were servants who accompanied t
Alessia's POVThe whole palace is in uproar after the talk about the incident spread out like a disease. I am more stressed when every living thing in this palace looks at me like I am ready to slay them. They are all walking on eggshells and afraid to commit any tiny bit of mistake.I only terrorized the nobles, but why are the servants more afraid of me? Even though that question was in my mind, I didn't waste time on it. Nothing will change if I think about it. I am not willing to reach out to them just to make my name look good. I am already tired of pleasing everyone to like me. I just don't care if they think badly about me.There were also many gifts sent from the nobles. They gifted me with gold and jewelry. There are even ancient jars that are considered antiques already. It was their way of apologizing and getting some favor.I am not naive when it comes to this. Even though I did not accept the position yet, in their eyes, I am already their queen. Now, they are currying fa
Alessia's POVWe decided to talk outside. So we are now outside the temple where no immortals roam.Ate Roselle has changed a lot. He no longer looks arrogant and is always challenging. It was like she was completely reborn. I don't know what happened to her to turn into like this.He frowned and I noticed that he was looking at Estrebelle. She was eyeing the child in Estrebelle's arms."Is that my son?" Ate suddenly asked Estrebelle. We both didn't know what to answer because I didn't know and I didn't expect Ate to have a child. The child doesn't resemble her that much that's why I can't tell."Mom!" The child cried again and it almost fell from Estrebelle from being carried, so Ate came quickly to pick up the child. The child is wailing like a siren destroying everyone's eardrum.It's her daughter. That means the child is my nephew. So I couldn't understand why the boy was afraid of me. There is no reason for her to be afraid of me."Your daughter, Sister?" I already know the answe
