133  Last Day

On the last day, Alicia was already too exhausted to get up. She just sat on the bed all day long. Many people were coming to the room. From Rizertia House, there were Raymond and his wife, Butler Ji, Alicia's sisters, Lea and Mia. From Merona House, there were Firia's father, Marcus, and his wife, Linda. Edmund and his wife also came along with Bryan. The last was Alex, Firia, Marco, and Sherry. Fifteen people in the big bedroom. Alicia sat on the bed and looked at them with a smile on her face. All of them could only hide their worries and smiled back.

"Thank you for coming," Alicia said.

  "Father… Mother… thank you for taking care of me all this time. I know I'm a bit willful and bring you many problems."

"No, how can you say that!" Raymond said. He bit his lips.

"That's right. It's a parent's joy to see a smile always planted on their daughter's face," Madame also backed him up.

Alicia smiled, "Father, thank you for always supporting me and for always protecting me from when I was a kid. Mother, thank you for raising me this whole time. I know that you and father always spare some time even in your busy days to see my sisters and me. I'm sorry that I can't help and lighten your burden."

"No, no, this is our job as parents, you three are the greatest blessing in our life," the madame couldn't hold her tears. Even Raymond's eyes became red, he tried hard to keep his tears at bay. The madame hugged her while crying, Alicia also hugged her back as she let out tears on her pretty face.

After a while, she finally turned to Marcus and Linda, Firia's parents, "Uncle Marcus, Aunt Linda. I'm sorry that…"

Before Alicia finished her words. Linda already hugged her in tears. "You are also my daughter, just like Firia. Don't you dare to say something like that! Firia is very fortunate to have you as her sister."

Marcus nodded repeatedly showing his confirmation of what Linda was saying.

"Aunt Linda, Uncle Marcus. Can I call you father and mother too?"

"Of course, my dear," Linda replied hurriedly.

"Father… Mother."

"Yes, my dear," both Linda and Marcus answered at the same time. Firia closed her eyes, she was trying to hold her tears from falling.

"Elder Sister Lea, Elder Sister Mia. I'm sure that I had brought you many troubles when I was little," Alicia looked at the eldest one, Lea. "Elder Sister Lea, do you remember when I was six years old, your favorite clothes suddenly disappeared? I stole that. It was found after a day, though."

Lea immediately hugged her, "It was always a joy to play with my little sister."

"When I was seven years old, we were going to a shop. That time, I suddenly disappeared. Because of my curiosity, I suddenly vanished from your sight and strolled around alone. I was almost kidnapped back then, luckily big sister found me and defeated the kidnappers."

"It was the duty of an Elder Sister to protect her Little Sister."

"Elder Sister Mia, do you remember when we fought each other because of a toy? We both wanted the same toy. We fought with each other, and eventually, there was a cold war between us for two days before father reprimanded us. Back then, even after father scolded us, there was still a cold war between us. The next day, Elder Sister suddenly came to me and gave me the toy. I always remembered what you said back then, you told me, 'I don't want it anymore. If a toy can break the relationship between two sisters, then I don't need it'. In the end, we shared the toy. I kept it for a day, and you would keep it the next day. Until you suddenly got bored with it and gave it to me completely. It's still in my bedroom back in Rizertia House. It's my precious treasure, after all."

Mia also got closer and hugged Alicia. She didn't care about Lea, who was still hugging her.

"Elder Sister Lea, Elder Sister Mia, I'm glad that I'm your little sister."

"We are also very glad that we are your Elder Sister. You are our Little Sister, you are our treasure."

The three sisters hugged for quite a while. Undescribed words were flowing within each of them. Their memories of childhood, when they were together, whether they were fighting or getting along. All of them were precious memories for them that made them even closer as a family.

After that, she looked at Acacia's King, Carollus. But for her… "Uncle Carollus, thank you for taking care of me. You are even very protective of me. You always spoiled me that even Big Brother Crown Prince was jealous of me. It's saddening that he can't come here for the moment."

"That brat. He is only thinking about getting stronger. How can he think that is even more important than his sister? Let's see how I will teach him when he goes home," Carollus was angered.

"Hehe… don't beat him. I'm sure that he has his reason. But… maybe, please hit him once for me, alright?" Alicia giggled a bit.

"Of course, I will hit him for you, hard enough to make him fly higher than our city wall."

"Hehe… but, the thing that I'm most thankful for was how you acted and made some illogical reasons and made me Alex's fianceé back then."

"What… you knew?"

"Of course. I could never forget that sloppy act. But, I'm thankful for that. If not, I might not be able to stay by his side and make so many happy memories with him and Firia. Of course, with Sherry too. These four months, each day is the best day ever in my life. Of course, the memories with Uncle, Fathers, Mothers, and Sisters are only second to these memories. Uncle, thank you, thank you very much, because of you I'm now Alex's wife."

Carollus couldn't say anything, he could only hug her tightly, he let out all his feelings in his hug.

"Sherry," Alicia called Sherry and she walked closer to Alicia. The soon to be sealed woman stroked her fur. Sherry licked her fingers. It was showing her concern for Alicia.

"Sherry, from now on, I'm leaving Alex in your hand. Please protect him, alright?"

"Wuu!" Sherry nodded her head repeatedly.

"I'm sorry because I have to make you do this. From the first time, you brought the unconscious him back here. Looking at your condition at that time, I know that you had carried him for days or even weeks tirelessly. When you finally arrived, your battered body fell to the ground as you fell unconscious. I know that your bond with him is far higher. If you are the same as us, I want a sister like you, we will be by his side forever."

"Wuu!"

"I know that you will always be on his side and help him in the time he needs you the most." Alicia suddenly got closer and whispered something in its ears, "Alex is a charmer. I'm sure that he will charm many women later. This is my personal request. Make sure that no bad woman, homewrecker, thieving cat, or gold digger approaches him. You are the one who will judge whether they are worthy or not to be by his side. If they are not, make sure you beat them up, so they don't dare to approach him."

"Wuu!" Sherry replied.

"Uncle Marco, thank you for taking care of Alex. He can become the way he is now because of your guidance."

"No, no. I let him solve his problem alone. I only supported him a little back then. I don't want him to be dependent on his status. That way, he can freely soar in the sky like a heavenly dragon, not like some caged dragon. I want him to become a sovereign, not become someone's pet. So even if I'm not beside him, I decided to do that after I saw the darkness deep inside his heart. Luckily I made the right decision because he now believes in himself more. All the things he achieves until now are his own hard work," Marco explained bitterly.

"Firia," Alicia looked at Firia, "These four months… for me, these four months are the best in my life. I'm really happy that I can become Alex's wife. And seeing how you became his wife also makes me happier. The memories that I made with you, Alex, and Sherry are the most precious one. I won't forget about this.

11:08

I still remember the first time we met in the classroom. I was very jealous at that time. I never thought that we would become sisters who will accompany him to the end of time. I can confidently say that I'm grateful knowing you are also beside him. I'm sure that you have so much to do from now on. Please take care of him, and please take care of me."

Alex, who was standing on the side, finally knew the reason why his teacher seemed to rarely appear when he was in trouble. When someone provoked him when he offended someone, his inferiority seeped into his bones. It was precisely the thing that his teacher wanted to break. If he was too dependent on his teacher, he might become a 'Useless Young Master' like those novels he read on Earth, where he flaunted his status, his teacher, etc. He was sure that his teacher also felt pain in his heart, "Teacher…"

"That is still because of your guidance. I'm sure you also felt pain when you did that. I'm glad that you are Alex's teacher," Alicia smiled.

"Firia," Alicia looked at Firia, "These four months… for me, these four months are the best in my life. I'm really happy that I can become Alex's wife. And seeing how you became his wife also makes me happier. The memories that I made with you, Alex, and Sherry are the most precious one. I won't forget about this.

I still remember the first time we met in the classroom. I was very jealous at that time. I never thought that we would become sisters who will accompany him to the end of time. I can confidently say that I'm grateful knowing you are also beside him. I'm sure that you have so much to do from now on. Please take care of him, and please take care of me."

Firia couldn't help but cry. The tears that she tried so hard to hold finally broke down and flew smoothly on her beautiful face. She hugged Alicia very tightly, "I should be the one who feels grateful. If you didn't give me the chance to pursue him, to pursue my happiness at that time, I don't know what I would become now."

Alicia smiled, her tears also flowed on her cheeks, "That might be the best decision I have made in my life. Only second to my decision to be by his side."

Firia giggled even though her tears were still flowing. Alicia also giggled a little, before she finally said, "I leave him to you."

"Yes. Leave it to me."

Finally, the last person she had to say goodbye to was her husband, Alex. She looked at him, she presented her most beautiful smile. Even though in his heart, he felt pain, Alex tried his best to smile.

Alicia looked at the rest of the people in the room, "Can I talk to him alone?"

The crowds didn't say anything. They left the room, leaving Alex and Alicia alone. Sherry didn't even stay in the room to follow Alex and walk out following the rest of the people.

They looked at each other, holding the sadness in their heart. Memories of the past flooded in their mind, and Alicia finally broke the silence.

"Husband."
