Alex stared at Riya hugging the petite girl with a warm expression as if she had met her long-lost sister after a very long time.

Alice even forgot her image of the Princess and mingled with Riya.

Alex turned his eyes toward Catherine and Christina with an inquiring gaze but they simply averted their gaze from him with an expression saying that.

‘Don’t pull us into it. It’s your business.’

Alex already started to know her identity after Riya screamed but that was making him more worried about it.

If she was her sister who was a member of the Royal family then what was she doing here?

And was she even allowed to meet him who had been kicked out of his home?

And on top of that, how can that old man of his allow a member of the Royal family to come here to meet the disowned Prince?

After hugging to her heart’s content, the girl named Alice, Alex’s so-called sister parted from Riya and looked at Alex with a delightful expression._.

“Ahem!”

“Sorry, I forgot the courtesy due to meeting my best friend.”

Alice walked toward Alex and held the hem of her long skirt while bowing her head gently, and spoke in a respectful tone”It’s nice to meet you King Of Nevan, Big Brother Alex.”

Alex felt a tingling sensation on hearing the word big brother and bowed his head and greeted her politely.

Though he was slightly feeling awkward he tried his best not to show it on his face.

Alice made a pouting expression seeing Alex behaving like a stranger and walking toward him raised her hand and asked Alex to escort her.

Alex nodded and held her hand while leading her to the castle.

“Big Brother I see you have recovered. So, did you remember anything about me?” Alice asked with big pearl-like eyes.

Alex wanted to avert her gaze but seeing such lovely and cute puppy-like eyes on this girl made it hard for him.

“Princess Alice, I am not going to tell a lie. I don’t remember much about the past.”

“I just have a faint recall of who I was but nothing more than that.” 

“I see!” Alice spoke with a dejected expression but that didn’t last for long, and after pondering for a moment her expression brightened up.

“You don’t need to be sad. We can create new memories as long as we are together.”

“Since, I am the smallest daughter in the family. I was often left alone and I sneaked into your palace and we used to play around all day.”

“Big Sis Riya used to take care of us and play with us. Those days were quite fruitful.”

So, I have been playing all around my life. Before I used to play with you girls now I am playing with my own life and also some people.’

‘Haaa! Some things never change.’

Alex sighed seeing Alice sticking close to him while gripping her hands tightly.

‘Why is she so close to me? Is this a facade to trap me down by lowering my guard? Shouldn’t people of high-class society find me unpleasant? How can she have had such a warm attitude towards me from before?’

Countless thoughts ran into Alex’s mind. He was dealing with a member of the royal family who might be quite good at conspiracies and schemes.

So, Alex couldn’t help but doubt everything until he had a rough summary of their relationship from Riya.

Alex entered the Throne room and sat on the throne while everyone except Riya took a seat.

Alex wanted her to take a seat but she refused to take a seat in front of the Envoys in case they might find it disrespectful. 

Fortunately, Alice was kind enough to pull her and make her seat beside her and no one was brave enough to offend her.

Josh looked at Alex and opened a scroll

“Your Majesty, this is the royal decree.”

“I am announcing the decree of the Emperor.”

“King of Amidon had not only trespassed the borders of Wright but also tried to the situation of chaos that might extend to all over the Empire. Minor wars are not forbidden but the act of Amidon trying to take over an entire Kingdom cannot be forgiven as it may make others assume that they can wage war according to their wish and will.”

“Since Wright and Nevan were victims here and retaliated due to Amidon, their act of occupying Amidon would be forgiven.”

Alex along with others sighed in relief on hearing the words.

“Though, your act of aggression of occupying Amidon can’t be ignored which may cause some friction in the future.”

“But you won’t be entitled to any punishment, rather there will be a 5 per cent rise in tax and your state has to give a sum of 1 million gold coins within the stipulated time of three years.”

“You can start integrating Amidon, Wright and Nevan into a single kingdom as soon as possible.”

After Josh’s announcement, the entire place descended into silence. Though they have been able to ignore the worst-case scenario, the sum of money raised in tax would surely cause a headache.

“Sir Josh, is there any order about King Angus? How should we deal with him?” Alex asked.

“King Alex, there are still more things,” Josh spoke in an embarrassed tone.

“You are asked to hand over King Angus to the Empire. We will deal with him. Since he had violated certain terms, he is punishable by the offence.”

Alex massaged his forehead thinking that it was good that he didn’t overdone things with Angus otherwise he would be in trouble if Angus died.

” King Alex! Now, this is the most important message.”

“You should have been crowned as a king but since you were in a coma, you hadn’t gone through the official coronation ceremony. Without the coronation ceremony, you are still considered an unofficial king.”

“That’s why you are asked to head to the capital within a month from now where your coronation ceremony will be held.”

“And in the meantime, you can think of renaming the new Kingdom or keeping it as it is.”
