Translator – Yue“Salerno Inn”Alicia read the old sign that was hanging atop a building. It was an inn, so it definitely offered food and shelter to travelers.“It would take us around two hours to reach your mother’s mansion. It might be faster if we rode my horse together, but you can’t while pregnant… if you don’t want to spend the night in a place like this, then I’ll find another way…”Ivan murmured while trying to assess Alicia’s reaction. He knew that the inn was old and gloomy. He’d spent some nights here before himself but he knew that it was different for Alicia, who’d only lived in mansions and palaces. She might even find this place repulsive.He did not want the news of them here to spread too much, which was why he’d chosen this place as he could keep their identities hidden. But… perhaps he should have thought of Alicia more. Maybe it would be best to go to someone else’s house and reveal their identity so they could spend the night somewhere more comfortable.As he ke
Translator – YueT/N: This is the end, so extra-long chapter for today?Ivan irrupted into the room, sword in hand and a murderous look in his eye… to see Alicia licking her fingers. In front of her there was a huge plate filled with food. There was an abundance of seafood. Next to her was a worker who looked at Ivan with widened eyes.“Ivan?”Alicia quickly took her finger out of her mouth and looked at him. She asked again, nervous.“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”The inn worker looked alternated glances between Ivan and the sword in his hand, his legs shaking.“Oh… it’s just… it looked like your wife was pregnant, so I was only asking if there was anything she disliked so I could bring something else…”Since Alicia had taken her robe and coat off, she was wearing a light dress that showed her bulging belly clearly. It seemed that the inn boy had noticed it and was only asking whether she liked the food.Ivan felt ridiculous for getting angry over something like this.No, more
Epilogue (1) – DimitriTranslator – YueYears later.“…and Elheim truly loved his human woman. But he was a God, pure and divine, so he could not remain too much longer on earth. If he stayed in the human world for too long, he’d lose all his divine powers…”The man who was reading the book out loud paused for a while and looked at a particular direction in his audience. There, there was a little girl with the same hair color as him. He saw her yawning while little eyes narrowed with displeasure, as though wondering why he’d stopped. The man resumed reading the book.“In the end, Eiheim had no choice but to leave the woman he loved and to go back on earth. However, he wept for the love he had to leave behind on the human world and those tears turned into rain. At the same time, a baby was growing inside his woman’s womb, a baby created from their union. This baby was born strong and healthy, and she had an incredible power. She had the power to turn himself into a bird. In the human w
It was drizzly and cold.Here sat the most humble of the kingdom's come, and it was no place for a nation's queen. She had a noble background, but she was trapped and didn't know when she'd see the light again.In fact, she had long abandoned her desire to flee and her hope of survival. The moment her unborn child died in her womb and her husband abandoned her was the moment she died on the inside.Squeeek…The prison door opened, and a woman dressed in baroque attire entered. She was wrinkled with opulent jewelries and ornaments fit for a queen. A chair near the prison bar rested, and the noble-like woman sat in it."Good day, dear sister."Alicia raised her head.The noblewoman's fiery eyes glowed with unspoken desire for Alicia."Oh, my dearest sister."Unlike the words that came out of the noblewoman's mouth, her countenance was one of mockery and criticism rather than compassion."I told you, sister... you needed to step back and allow me to pass. If you had listened, this would
Alicia was surprised to find herself back at the age of twelve.She had awoken from a deep slumber to find herself on the bed of a mansion, where she had lived until she was married off. Her body belonged to a small child.Alicia got out of bed and looked in the mirror. Her eyes widened as she realized she was twelve years old again, at the time of her mother's death."Have I returned to the past?"However, she shook her head in denial. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She's having a dream. That, or she's having a flashback before crossing the river of death.Alicia was forced to accept her reality by the time she saw the rising sun.She had returned. She had returned. She was twelve years old.It was an unbelievable reality, and Alicia sat back on the bed, silently watching the door. If everything was true, the door would open and her maid, Latty, who had been looking after her since she was a baby, would walk right in. Latty would frequently wake her every morning, and she
Alicia's mother came from a noble family in the neighboring country of Coulson. Both Ehrlich and Coulson shared a common language, writing system, and a long-standing marriage alliance between nobles and royals. And there is a recent history of Ehrlich and Coulson joining forces and fighting the same enemy.When her mother was young, she traveled to Ehrlich, a neighboring country, at the invitation of her cousin and fell in love at first sight with a young man. The only problem was his lowly status, and he already had a lover. Her parents actively tried to prevent the marriage for these reasons alone, but she was adamant, fiery, and stubborn. She was tough and had a warrior's heart.Many men had fallen for her carefree attitude, but she only had her sights set on that young man, and she wanted to be with that young man.That was it.As a result, her parents made a suggestion. If the young man ended his relationship with his old lover and accepted the marriage, the Ehrlichs would besto
When a middle-aged man with round-rimmed glasses entered, Alicia sent Latty out under the guise of bringing the carriage over.For a brief moment, the man stared at the small, little girl on the big chair before quickly bending over to bow."Lady Alicia, I heard you called me. "What's the problem?""First, take a seat."The man nodded and sat on the chair closest to him, his face filled with questions. He couldn't understand or comprehend why the young lady had summoned him.He'd had the good fortune to meet her on occasion, but he can't recall any memorable conversations aside from the obligatory greeting. He'd always seen her as the quiet little girl who stayed close to her mother and had hair and eyes that were unique to the northern part of the country.Today was the first time he had properly heard her voice.He suddenly realized he'd never expressed his condolences to the girl and expressed deep regret."I am deeply sorry for your loss and extend my heartfelt condolences."

Cesca Anna.She was the only bloodline borne by Ehrlich's King Edgar II and was politically married off to Coulson, the prince of the neighboring kingdom. Edgar II had no other children when he was nearing the end of his life. The old king's problems worsened as his death approached. In the Kingdom of Ehrlich, no woman had ever been crowned king. Nonetheless, the old king handed over the next throne to his one and only child and daughter at the last minute, leaving his last will and testament on his deathbed.Will he?'My daughter, Anna Cesca, will be the next king.'Some faithfully followed the king's last will and testament, while others did not. There were dissenting voices until some of the nobles conspired to crown the king's cousin, Duke of Lucas, as the next king and imprison Anna in the castle.The successful coronation of Ehrlich's throne appeared simple at first, but things quickly changed when Anna escaped the castle she was imprisoned in with the help of Coulson.Anna quic
