But there was no hiding place in the small room, and there was not too much distance for Alice to get rid of the monster.

"Ahh

Alice is bitten by a monster on her calf.

A large amount of blood immediately gushed out from the bite place, and this blood only made the monster even more crazy.

"Don't come here! Please! ”

The monster couldn't understand Alice's words, and pounced on Alice again.

Alice wanted to kick the beast away, but her strength was too small to be any different from tickling.

She had another wound on her leg.

Roar Roar Roar ————

"It hurts! It hurts! Please, go away! ”

As soon as Alice kicked away a demonic beast, another demonic beast would bite up, not giving Alice a chance to relax at all.

The bitten bloodied Alice finally broke out.

"I said go away!!"

The magic exploded in the room.

Turning everything in the room to pieces, the monster was reduced to ashes in the explosion.

"I ...... Am I going to die......"

The little girl fell into a sea of fire.

……

"Where am I—I?"

Alice, who woke up, appeared in her room.

The wounds on his body have been healed and there are no scars left.

"Are you awake?"

"Father?!"

"I heard what Jack said this time, and I must pay attention to it next time."

"Huh?! Brother said it? ”

Alice was surprised.

"He said you accidentally went to the wrong room and locked yourself up, and by the time he found someone to save you, it was already after the explosion."

"No, Father! It's my brother, he'......"

It's obvious that my brother did this on purpose, so why would he lie?

"Alright, you can rest well today."

The father did not listen to Alice's words, and hurried away.

“…… Obviously not like that. ”

……

The next day.

"Alice, I'm so sorry for what happened yesterday."

Alice meets Brother Jack in the gardens of the palace.

"Brother? Brother, why did you ...... yesterday?"

Jack didn't answer her question right away, but pulled her to a place where there were fewer people.

"Listen, Alice! If you dare to talk nonsense about yesterday's events, you will die! ”

"But it's obviously my brother......"

"Shut up! If I hadn't been kind enough to get a doctor, you would be no different from a beggar on the street! If you don't want to die, just keep your mouth shut. ”

Jack's loud growl visibly frightened Alice, and she shrunk back and didn't dare say anything.

“……”

"Let me tell you one thing, the so-called princess, she should be a political puppet honestly, and sooner or later she will be sold to those heroes when she grows up. So enjoy your life now! ”

"Yes...... Brother ......"

"Also, stay a little further away from me in the future."

"Yes......"

Alice held back tears and went back to her room and cried.

But her gray world continues———

Gradually, Alice also realized that what Brother Jack said was not wrong, and there was indeed something different in the eyes of those ministers, who may not have noticed it before, but she could really feel the difference now.

Until one day.

"Your Royal Highness, are you satisfied?"

"Yes, very good."

It was John's brother's voice, what were they doing in the study?

Alice, who was about to come out with the book in her arms, stopped.

"Now, I believe I can beat my brother!"

"That'...... His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"No problem, when I become king, I will marry Alice to your son."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness the Prince!"

Flutter knock.

The book in Alice's hand fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he didn't make too much noise, and the second prince didn't notice that Alice was inside.

"Your Royal Highness, it's not too early, so I'll go back first."

"Well, go ahead!"

It wasn't until there was no sound in the study that Alice dared to tiptoe out.

Alice finally understood the eyes of those people——— which was the desire for power.

Alice, who wanted to rebel against this fate, soon tasted defeat.

In order to get the throne as soon as possible, the crazy second prince tried to fulfill his previous promise before succeeding to the throne and brought the minister's son to Alice's room.

"Please enjoy tonight!"

"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness, I will definitely ask my father to support you as the new king."

"Please."

Bang.

The man walked into Alice's room.

"Alice-chan, I'm here~"

Alice, who was asleep, had no idea that someone had entered her room.

"It's so cute to be asleep! Then you're welcome......"

The man kissed Alice lightly on the mouth and then retracted.

"Whew...... Didn't wake up...... I'm so nervous. Again, it should be fine, right? ”

The man kissed him again, but this time he woke Alice.

"Huh?! Who are you? ”

Alice screamed and pushed the man away.

Having just woken up from her dream, she was quite frightened and retreated towards the bed.

"Awake? It's a shame, but it's more fun. I am William, your future husband. ”

"No kidding, I don't have a future husband!"

"No, no, no, you're going to have it right away, and that person - that's me!"

With that, William pounced on Alice.

"Stay away from me!"

Alice kicked William away in fear.

But William didn't give up, and leaned over to Alice again.

"Obedient, Alice. It's good for you and me. ”

"What a good! Stay away from me, or I'll call someone!" ”

"If you can do it, try it! Outside the door, your second brother John helped me guard it, do you think you can still run away? ”

"Brother John? Why? ”

Alice was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Brother John, who used to smile at her every day, would actually do such a thing.

"Still don't understand? You're your brother's prop to become a king. ”

"Dao... Tool...? ”

"That's right, you're a good bargaining chip for negotiations! So...... Be honest, at least you can repay your brother's kindness. ”

“…… No, that's not true...... This is not true! ”

Alice grabbed her hair like crazy.

Why, why does everyone do this to me? What exactly am I doing wrong? Obviously it wasn't like this before......

Alice's world is gradually crumbling...... Everything is different...... In my father's eyes, am I just a prop......

"Don't be stupid, be honest, I'll love you well."

A lewd smile appeared on the corner of William's mouth.
