Because Queen Alicia never returned to the palace, King Theodore gave a final ultimatum that made everyone at the meeting, including myself, very surprised. The man said that he would make me a queen. Of course, it was opposed by many people. I was against it too.
I didn't want to do it. That was a huge responsibility. What's more, I was just a disabled woman who couldn't see. I had many flaws and surely in the future, I could only burden so many people.
Besides, here in Northendell, I had no other family. I had no one who could protect me other than King Theodore. The atmosphere in the meeting became more boisterous because King Theodore didn't hear the protests of the higher-ups.
The man also didn't try to calm down the protesting nobles at all. He actually pulled me to come with him to his study.
"Your Majesty, don't do that. Queen Alicia is still a legitimate queen. It is so unfair to her."
"She has caused all of this."
