“Of course she wouldn’t accept me as her mother… yes that’s right…”

Alicia lowered her shoulders dejectedly as she walked back to the stadium.

Although Alicia walked the well-trodden path, not a single soul seemed to realize that she was there. This was the effect of Serika’s warding magic.

“Alumiana…”

Alicia thought back to when they were about to touch, and how her child had avoided her by treating her as if she were a stranger—

No matter the reason, it remains true that I had betrayed my daughter, that I had abandoned my daughter. As I pronounced the girl named Alumiana to be deceased, her life as Alumiana had been denied from her.

Alumiana is a smart girl. I’m sure that she has figured out why I did that as a mother and as an Empress, but even if she understands that in her mind, she cannot accept that in her heart. Alumiana was still young when she was exiled. From what I understood from the reports, for a brief period after she was exiled, her emotions were unstable. She was at an age where she required her mother’s love, yet she was driven away in such a manner. Surely, the result would’ve been the same no matter who it was.

Even so, she has grown into a gentle girl that is loved by everyone. However, it was not because she continued to live as Alumiana whose mother had abandoned her, it was because she had chosen to live her new life as a member of the Phebell family.

Of course, if one thought about it in such a manner, then the young girl that had been kneeling before Alicia was not Alumiana, but rather… Lumia.

“…What a shame, really…”

‘If I knew that I would end up so miserable and pained, I shouldn’t have listened to Serika and Elenora’s suggestions, and allowed myself to be content with looking from afar.’ Such thoughts floated in Alicia mind.

However, it was not the Serika nor Elenora’s fault. In the end, the wish to meet her daughter was hers alone. The two had merely noticed her feelings and acted accordingly.

As Alicia gloomily headed back towards the stadium—

“…Your Majesty.”

Hearing someone call out to her, Alicia raised her head.

Looking around her, she spotted a familiar face under the shadow of one of the trees of the forest path.

It was the commander of the royal guard, Zeros.

For some reason, he looked ghastly and severely distressed.

Huh, that’s odd, how did he manage to recognize me? Serika’s magic should still be in effect…

Carrying curious thoughts, Alicia called out to her devoted guard.

“My, I’ve been discovered haven’t I? I’m sorry that I went out on my own, Zeros. By the way… What are you doing here?”

“I have something to tell you, Your Majesty.”

Zeros soundlessly exited the shade, and stood in front of Alicia. Then, he rose a hand into the air.

It seemed to be some kind of signal.

“—!?”

A large amount of guards suddenly appeared and surrounded Alicia.

“…What’s the meaning of this?”

Unfazed by the sudden turn of events, Alicia softly asked.
