Alice stared at Prince Garin in front of her, at the man who had once made her like dead and alive, but now there was only an indescribable disgust in her heart. She had planned to spend tonight with Garin, but at the moment she wanted Garin to let go of her hand.

But Prince Garin did not let go, he looked at Alice in front of him affectionately, and then whispered in his ear: "Since you came to this ball, there is no way back. ”

"There will never be, your back road, from that night, is completely gone."

Prince Garin ignored the panic and pain in Alice's eyes in front of him, turned his head and left, he had been preparing for this day for a long time, how could he be defeated by a woman's weakness?

………………

The rain was still falling over Fort Riptide, and thunder rumbled, followed by an overwhelming torrential rain.

The nobles in the ballroom had already left, after all, it was late, and it was pouring rain below. At this moment, only the old king, Prince Garin, Alice, and a few attendants were left in the castle of Riptide Castle.

"Boom" a huge thunder crashed against the inky black stone wall, and the aged King of Riptide Castle leaned on the throne, quietly watching all this in front of him.

Alice shuddered, and in her hand was the ale that Prince Garin had handed her, an ale from the Silver Pine Forest, which sold for thirty silver coins in Riptide Castle, equivalent to a farmer's wages for a month's hard work. But at the moment, there was poison in the drink.

"Are you so? Alice. The king asked kindly.

Alice walked slowly, afraid that her arms would start to shake slightly.

As a queen, she thought that her future life would be to live with the old man in front of her for the rest of her life. But now that she's finally going to be free, she's just going to do it once, and this time it's fine. The happy life of your dreams is just around the corner.

This happiness was woven by Prince Garin and her own hands.

The king looked appreciatively at his princess, Alice, the daughter of a farmer he had found in the fields of the Arathi Heights, and his proud wife. After all, a peasant girl is not as scheming as the daughters raised by nobles.

"My wife, you've suffered all these years." The old king said heartily.

Alice had a reluctant smile on her face, and then handed the poisoned wine in her hand to the king, and a smile reluctantly appeared on her face, "It's not too bitter, the days with you are rewarded by the Holy Light." ”

The king took the glass and did not drink it immediately, but looked at Alice with a look of expression, "I love you, Alice." ”

Only then did he drink the ale into his stomach.

Alice had a forced smile on her face, then responded, "I love you too, my king." ”

She stood there in a daze, watching the king drink the poisoned wine without any suspicion. The reason is simple, she is the king's wife, and she should be the king's most trusted person, and she should have spilled the poisoned wine on the king's lips at this moment, but when she thought of Prince Garin's sweet words and threats. She didn't know what to do, and although she knew what she was supposed to do, the tears that suddenly appeared in her eyes blurred her vision.

She remembered a lot, those memories that she was trying to hide.

Alice, the daughter of a farmer on the Arathi Heights, has been a well-known beauty near the farm since before the Orc invasion, and although there are many suitors on the nearby farm, she still has a little pride in her heart, which is to become a noble wife and then promote the family to nobility.

Because the resources at the lord's disposal are what Alice has longed for since she was a child, herds of wheat fields, white horses, and handsome armor, all of which are in line with Alice's best mate.

It was a thunderstorm, and a middle-aged knight was sheltering from the rain at her house, and the two met. Soon after, Alice fell in love, partly for her dreams, and partly because of the uncle's meticulous care.

Soon, she went from being a commoner to becoming the queen of the kingdom of Riptide, though she didn't know he was the king of Riptide. Although her husband already had an ex-wife and gave birth to a child, she didn't care, because she would be the king's last wife.

"Boom"

The thunderous rumble pulls Alice back to reality, and the days of becoming a queen are not as good as she imagined, living in a luxurious house that she has never lived in before, eating magical food that she has never eaten before, but these do not make Alice happy.

On the contrary, the arrival of Prince Garin reinvigorates her, the flower that should have withered in Riptide Castle. After all, a young prince is the one who really fits Alice's dream.

She felt sorry for the king, and she whispered, "I love you." ”

But it was too late.

"Dangling"

The metal glass made a crisp sound as it landed on the marble floor, and the king pointed at Alice with one hand, and took his neck with the other, and said nothing.

At this time, Prince Garin, who was not speaking on the side, took the lead in front of the king, hugged Alice into his arms, and then said: "Well done, this old man is finally dead, and we can finally be together in the open." ”

Alice finally noticed that there was hatred in the eyes of the king in front of her, and when this happened, she finally felt that she still loved the king.

Prince Garin let out a burst of wild laughter, and after years of patience, he finally waited for the day when he was finally going to become the king of Rapids. He looked at his father, who was sitting on the throne, the old man was now weakened, and it would take less than three minutes for the fire of life to die on the land.

"You know what? Your stupid policies have ended up ruining the country. Prince Garin let out a sneer and kissed Alice beside him gently, "But everything has nothing to do with you, from tonight onwards, I will be the king of Riptide Castle." ”

"This is the poison that the Temple of the Curse made for you personally, you don't have to worry about everything in this world."

In this way, Alice saw the king sitting on the throne fall, and then turned into a body that quickly turned black, and she wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Prince Garin.

"You should be happy at this time." Alice thought as she stroked Prince Garin's back with her hand and said, "Honey, will we be able to be together after that?" ”

Prince Garin laughed and turned his head to look at Alice behind him, how ridiculous this woman from the countryside was, she would really believe it, but he didn't show it, he stroked Alice's face, and then said in a low voice: "Yes, we will be able to be together soon, but we have to be patient for a few days, otherwise outsiders will see it." ”

Alice nodded obediently, but she had only waited for a few days, and over the years, she had not waited.

"Honey." Alice's voice was low and sentimental, and she rested quietly on Prince Garin's back, thinking nothing.
