TN: 3 more chapters until the end of volume 1. And then 33 chapters before the extras. I want the extra.s.ss~~ Aaaah, I don't want to workkkk~~~

Silence fell in the Parliament Room at that second.

A few minutes later, everyone made a complete change and applaused both parent and child emotionally, even those who suspected Alicia was a spy from another country before the arrival of the King and Queen.

Feeling the pressure from the authorative figures, the maids were awkwardly serving tea, as they tried to wipe the corner of their eyes at the joyful reunion of parent and child.

Of course, there were people whose eyes wavered as they remembered their action, but they loudly cheered, “Thank goodness! ” or “What a moving story! “, saying such barefaced lie was the standard.

In front of the emotionally moving scenery, Mary was stunned for a while.

Of course, it was because her train of thought couldn't catch up. As she started to doubt Alicia in some part and couldn't even help, she couldn't immerse in this celebration mood because she was beginning to doubt even the memories of her previous life.

And the word that came out after those thought was,

“….Addie, my stomach hurts.”

That.

“My Lady, at last you hit your limit, huh…you poor thing… Tonight, let's have croquette for dinner.”

“This is nonsensical, I want to go home…My stomach hurts…”

“In a bit, everything will be over in a bit. Let's buy something delicious on our way home.”

Pitiful…Mary just nodded weakly in a daze at Addie. The one she held with one hand was closer to her belly than her stomach.

It was an unusual interaction for the two of them, but no one realized it in this situation.

Anyway, even without Mary, this celebratory mood wouldn't go away. Even Patrick was saying, “Good for you, Alicia,” and was being emotionally moved.

In this situation, Mary who hold unnecessary information as this was a game! This was a still image! And knew that Alicia was a princess from the start, after thinking about this and that, she couldn't honestly bend over to this mood. Or perhaps, everyone was still speculating, and they were just reading the atmosphere for the time being.

No, even then, this standing applause is weird… And, thinking about it, maybe this was the game suppression power as well.

Yes, it definitely is. If not, she couldn't consent to this happy mood that seems like a grand finale.

To get pale at the heavy atmosphere a few minutes ago, wasn't it stupid?  She wanted this suppression power.

The more she thought about it, the more her mood dropped.

Just before, she wanted to go home because she was nervous, but now she wanted to go home for different reason.

Honestly, this is such a farce.

Gazing at the scene with that feeling, noise started to begin from the other side of the door. Somehow in the reunion of parent and child earlier, curious onlookers seemed to noticed the change in the atmosphere. Or maybe they were gathering because they heard the applause?

Both King and Queen sensed it, smiled and nodding happily while embracing Alicia's shoulder.

“Let us introduce you to everyone,” must be what they wanted to say.

Alicia could only smiled back with happiness mixed with confusion as reply. From the side, it was a beautiful reunion between parent and child…that was if the other side aren't involved in the story.

“We're running away,” said Mary to Addie, as the royal pair turned to face the door.

Surely everyone was waiting for the conclusion beyond that door.  It was already confusing with this line-up, if they announced Alicia as the legitimate Princess, it surely would become more chaotic.

From the point of view of Mary who began to get fed up with this atmosphere, that confusion was indeed the time to escape.

Addie could only nod in sympathy at Mary who proclaimed such pathetic thing proudly.

It was a situation that made the n.o.ble daughter of Albert House pale and nervous, it was impossible that Addie who was a commoner and an attendant could bear it.

Even now, because Mary was there, and because her heart was breaking, he could keep his calm.

“The moment they open the door and introduce Alicia, there will be confusion. We're going to run at that time.”

“Understood.”

In the middle of battle mood, they whispered the plan and nodded to each other.

And when both royal opened the door, the crowd became noisier.

It was natural, while they were waiting for the meeting to end impatiently, both King and Queen appeared while embracing the girl in question.  Everyone could guess the meaning, that's why the chaos continued.

Those who were still confused even after seeing the situation and those who ran off somewhere to tell others. There were also some who were dissatisfied with the result that went against their judgement and left the place while grumbling. Of course, there were also people who genuinely rejoiced over the reunion.
