Chapter 273 – Flurry and Rage
Alicia stared out the window.
Winter in the islands was peaceful. The thick snowflakes carried by the cold wind flutter in pure white, and a cozy blanket of snow covers the streets. The familiar late winter scenery of the islands.
Beneath the boughs of tall conifers, bent over by clusters of white clumps. Looking at the crowd of people walking with their cheeks flushed red, she murmured quietly to herself.
“Who was that nasty man?”
As she tilted her head slightly, Alicia’s long silver hair cascaded down her in an oblique line. It was a beautiful sight like a waterfall in the Milky Way.
The cold blue eyes glisten profoundly and emit a mysterious light. Despite the movements that are nothing special, each and every trivial action is breathtakingly elegant and alluring.
Not only. Her aura itself was different from the original one.
Despite her noble status, she was the one who always wore a kind and warm smile on her lips. Now, it is a lofty atmosphere that criminals cannot easily approach.
Should I say that people themselves have changed?
“The way he looked at this body was unusual. Could it be that he had a special relationship with ‘me’?”
— Sarak…
Alicia was lost in her thoughts, slowly stroking her morning hair, which had grown noticeably longer. Her ‘her’ didn’t grow her hair this long originally. Really, everything just sucked.
It was a truly bizarre day.
She just woke up in the morning and behaved normally. All of her aides, including her maid of honor Jean Leona, made all sorts of fuss with hardened expressions. She said that the princess became strange.
At first, she felt uncomfortable because she wondered if everyone dared to despise the princess of her empire, but as time passed, she naturally felt uncomfortable.
—Molkan… !
“It’s really cumbersome. So… I wonder if the future me will have a body like this sow.”
First of all, the changes in the body were evident.
When she woke up, as if she had been enchanted, she had grown taller overnight, and her frail figure had visibly matured. She had a lascivious body that could charm any man.
Alicia, who was massaging her large breasts as if she were curious, took a quick glance at her mirror.
“So… ‘I’ said twenty-two this year. Then she skipped eight years.”
In her mirror, a dazzlingly beautiful woman was staring at herself.
Elegant and pliable beauty and a voluptuous body that emphasizes distinct curves. As befits her direct descendant of the imperial family, her appearance overflows with elegance, but she overflows with feminine charm to the extent that she could look vulgar at times.
I liked her, but I didn’t like her.
“But, to think that I’ll grow up to be this kind of person. It’s a bit disappointing. The ‘me’ of the future.”
Alicia looked at herself and frowned slightly. Doesn’t this body seem more suitable to be someone’s wife than the lineage of heaven that reigns in front of ten thousand people?
Should I lose some weight from now on?
While thinking that, Alicia smiled and shook her head. No matter how much she was, she still felt the presence of the mana core as if she hadn’t neglected her basic training like ‘herself’.
—Wheein… !
“Sss…! This… Is quite a strange feeling.”
She wouldn’t dare allow anyone else to touch her body, so she probably did it on her own. Then, contrary to what it looks like, this figure must be close to the most ideal shape you think.
The future ‘self’ must have been quite obsessed with femininity.
It wasn’t anything particularly strange. Eight years is enough time for a change of heart. That much can be passed into the realm of taste. A woman can use her appearance as a weapon, so it was obviously a great advantage that she had dazzling beauty enough to buy favors from others just by being still.
And another one.
—Paat!
Alicia raised her finger and pointed at the teapot, which had cooled down. Then, with a slight sense of exhaustion as her magical energy was drained, she began to boil the tea water. Her exhilarating sense of exhilaration crept into her brain.
“Whoops,” She said with a satisfied smile.
“It’s magic. At this level, is it comparable to the second brother’s supernatural ability?”
—Goooh… !
Before long, Alicia began to let go of her magical powers in her body. When she saw blankets, carpets, tables, and other furniture floating in the air, Alicia exclaimed in triumph.
“Strength… The power within me is overflowing infinitely…! Uh-huh…!”
Alicia Von Diana Solaris.
She is currently only 14 years of mental age.
In her prime, she was just the right age to become intoxicated by the mysterious power within her.
—Wow!
“Ah! Oops, my power must have been too strong. Huhu.”
However, there was one minor problem.
Although, in general, the delusions of adolescents of that age are just imaginary. With her adult body, her magical powers, and her power as a member of the royal family intact, Alicia was able to turn her imagination into reality.
In the meantime.
-Smart!
“Who are you?”
“I am the head maid, Her Highness. The guests who will cooperate in recovering the memory have requested an audience.”
From outside the bedroom came the sound of the maid giving her message.
“Hmm…”
Get your memory back
Alicia honestly thought she wasn’t too bad the way she was now. Her memories of her last eight years had faded. She hadn’t become her idiot, and she had managed to like herself as an adult, too.
If she gets her memories back, wouldn’t she be more awkward that way? Alicia now had the confidence that she would be able to handle her grown-up body better than she had before she lost her memory.
‘Can’t we just live like this?’
A thought flashed through her mind for a moment.
She didn’t want to see her saddened by people around her, including Obama and the lady-in-waiting, due to her own change. So, after thinking for a while, she accepted her request.
It is also the duty of the royal family not to give up humanity and righteousness for personal selfishness.
“Stop by.”
If it’s a quack pretending to be a lawmaker or a nonsensical chatterbox, I’ll give it a proper scolding.
Alicia narrowed her eyes and made a firm determination.
* * *
Wolfgang returns from the annex with Hasene.
When he delivered the good news, Leona’s face suddenly brightened.
“Really? This child can cure the princess?”
It was quite refreshing for Wolfgang. Although they knew her face, it was because it was the first time she showed such intense emotions. I thought her loyalty to Alicia was really outstanding.
“Huhihi… Kyaaat!”
Said Wolfgang, pressing lightly on the shoulder of her elated Hasine.
“Yes, that’s right. Hassene is a master of mental paranormal abilities, but she says she’s confident that she’ll definitely help with the treatment. Depending on what her symptoms are, her response will be different.”
“Ah…! As expected, he’s the child the princess herself chose. I’m really, really fortunate!”
As if in prayer, a tear fell from the corner of Leona’s eye as she put her hands together on her chest.
Judging from her appearance, it seemed that she suffered as much pain in her heart as Wolfgang. No, maybe she did more than that.
She took out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and calmly explained her precautions to the two of them.
“From various circumstances, it is judged that the current princess has not completely lost her memory, but is staying at some point in the past. If my memory is correct, she probably went back to around the age of 14 or 15.”
Wolfgang’s mouth opened slightly at that, and Hassene’s eyes lit up with interest.
“Is that… Possible?”
“Well, it’s just an estimate. In the first place, unless we can properly figure out the cause, there are so many mystical things in the world, so we just accept the fact.”
“Oh, angel. Is that why you didn’t recognize me?”
Beside the stunned Wolfgang, Hasene stuck her head out and asked.
“Chief Maid. I’m arrogant, but may I ask you a question?”
“Of course. As long as it helps to find the princess’s memories.”
“Didn’t there be any drastic changes in the princess herself or her surroundings before and after the incident?”
“Change, change… Come to think of it, recently, Snow’s size has increased dramatically. Originally, he was a guy with spirit blood mixed in, so I thought he must have reached the stage of growth. Does that have anything to do with it?”
“Hmm… It’s the growth of the Familiar. For now, I’ll understand. Thank you for your cooperation, Lady Maid.”
The maid and Hasene continued to exchange several questions about Alicia’s symptoms.
After the conversation, the maid carefully stood in front of Alicia’s bedroom door.
That moment.
—Wow!
“What? A raid?”
Although Wolfgang was startled by the sudden noise coming from inside and reacted very sensitively.
“Oh, no. That’s probably…”
“If it’s not a raid, then what is it? What the hell is going on inside…”
It was Leona who hurriedly stopped him from breaking down her door.
“I’m sorry, Sir Wolfgang.”
Then she took a deep breath and spoke as if warning.
“As you’ve felt before. The current princess is probably a completely different person from the princess Kyung knew.”
