Love And Secrets

The Woman Named...

Alice was still crying, yet she tried to regulate her emotions again, she did not want William to be distracted by her presence.

"Dad, have you finished?"

"Hmmm.."

"So my wish can be fulfilled?"

'What will William want?' As Alice's cries came to a halt, she became curious about the conversation of King and William.

"There's still time, I can't just grant your wish.

"Maybe he'll change his mind.

"And..

"You saw your brother for yourself.

"You won't survive Will."

"Of course not, no,

"Where can I."

William leaves the King, and Alice follows him from behind.

"And what did you find Alice?" William looked at Alice who was trailing behind him.

"Ah, I think Gara still loves me Will.." Alice tried to smile.

"Then Will, what are you talking about with the King's majesty?" Alice frowned.

"Hmm, let me think about it.." William pretended to think, he pointed his head.

"You're a bitch to Will!!" Alice hit William's back hard.

William laughed softly, he grasped Alice's hand gently.

"I'm just expressing some of my wishes Alice..

"However, it seems like it will be difficult to walk according to my wishes.."

"Ah, of course..

"I hope you succeed Will.."

"I'll, I hope you'll be happy if I make it.." William blinked his eyes.

"I have a bad feeling.." William laughed out loud at Alice's reply.

"Then, what are you going to do now Alice?"

"I'll still follow Gara..

"You know, I miss him a lot."

"Haaa..

"Sure Lady Alice will miss her husband.." William laughed miris.

"Have I mispronounced Will? you don't seem happy with my answer?"

"No, no

"I'd only feel lonely if you weren't around.."

William rubbed Alice's head.

"Stop Will, I'm not a dog!"

"Oh of course, you're an Alice.." William laughed out loud.

Alice kicked William's leg violently, William almost fell down. When William turned back, Alice had already disappeared.

"And now an Alice is running away from me.." William walked to his room.

Alice ran quite fast after kicking William's leg, she ran towards Gara's room. But Alice saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the new door.

'Did I go the wrong way?' Alice tried to remember the location of her room.

'I think this is really my room, then who is that woman?'

Alice tried to find her answer quickly.

'God...' Alice closed her mouth tightly.

'Cannot be...'

With her legs limp, Alice tried to approach the woman, she dragged her feet lazily, Alice was so frustrated right now. He seems to have lost before the war.

'How could I possibly win?'

'I am not rich, then I am not beautiful, but not ugly, just enough.'

'And most importantly, I can't get pregnant.'

As soon as her stomach felt nauseous imagining Gara with another woman, even more painful, Alice was there watching her.

'Oh, god..'

'Give me the strength to get through all this...' Alice clenched both her hands.

Tok

Tok

Tok

'Even the beats sound very soft..'

'Oh...'

"Young Master, I'm Evy..

As Alice had expected, she was the son of Minister Matt who spoke with Gara yesterday.

Walk towards the door and open it slowly.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Ah..

"I'm sorry for the sassness of my Young Master, but..

"Can we talk inside?"

"Are you kidding me?

"I don't want anyone in my room if my wife's not in!"

"I'm sorry for my Young Master's innocence.." Evy looked very sorry, he bowed his head and intended to leave.

"Wait, wait,

"Follow Me.."

As she walked quickly to her study, Evy followed her with a little run, tripping over her long dress.

'Bruuuk!!'

Because looking back, and it looks like Evy fell with a position that is quite painful. He walked over to Evy and helped her up.

Alice was still watching him from a distance.

'Gosh, it must have hurt a lot to fall like that..'

'Luckily Gara came back to help him.' Alice rubbed her chest slowly.

"You okay?"

"Thank you, sir, I'm fine." Evy stands up and follows Gara again, but this time Gara walks slower. Evy smiled happily, she did not expect Gara would help her even now she did not run after Gara anymore because Gara was walking right in front of her nose.

Alice's heart aches at the closeness of Evy and Gara, but she doesn't want to make a decision too soon.

She opens the door to her study, then waits for Evy to come in and close the door. Alice was almost left behind, yet she was able to enter with a bit of luck.

"Sit down.."

"Thank you Young Master.."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Once again, forgive my presumptuous Young Master.." Evy clenched her hands wet with sweat. He was so nervous sitting face to face with Gara.

"Dad said that I should be your concubine Young Master.." Evy took a deep breath and continued her words.

"But I know if you only love Lady Alice, then I'll never have the slightest place in your heart."

"You may not remember that we used to be in an academy class, but it was a very precious memory for me."

"Then what do you really want to say?" Because she doesn't like Evy going around in circles and just wants to get it done quickly.

"Young Master, I'll be your concubine..

"I'll give my Son to Lady Alice if my son is a boy, and I promise I won't tell anyone this."

"However, if my daughter is a girl, then I'll take care of her myself."

"I don't want anything Your Majesty, I really want to do that."

Alice's heart almost stopped when she heard all of those things, she could not believe hearing this directly from someone who would become Gara's concubine.

'Who would hand over such a child so easily to someone else?'

'Who? Where there may be!'

'There, if Evy really loves Gara..'

'Gosh..' Alice covered her face.

Because he said nothing, even his face did not show any expression.

"I don't mind Your Majesty..

"In fact, if everyone doesn't know that I'm Your Concubine, I don't mind."

'I object to Gara...

'I object...' Alice's little heart was so hurt hearing this talk.

'I should pretend I don't know, I can't afford to listen any further.'

Alice tried to hold back her tears from falling, she wanted to put an end to all of this, but from a distance there was a sobbing sound, Evy cried.

"I..

"I just want to give you His Majesty's descendants..

"Even when I know that your heart is only for Lady Alice.."

"I will not bother you with the glorious Lady Alice..

"I swear to you.." Evy covered her face with both hands, she could no longer speak, while Gara just kept silent saying nothing, Evy felt very embarrassed.

Alice is silent to Evy's words, she does not know that Evy loves Gara so much, and is willing to do anything for Gara, even though she knows Gara will never see her. Alice touched her chest, her heart beating so fast that she was hard to breathe.

'Cara..

'Speak..

'I want to know what's on your mind..' Alice held herself back from touching Gara's back.

Like being pushed by something, Gara finally decided to talk.

"Evy..."
