This is King Alaric, your husband. You were once just an ordinary woman, but the King fell in love with you. He had a wife four years ago, but she passed away due to an illness. He couldn’t move on after her death, and he was left to care for their deaf son, who deeply grieved for his mother. The boy struggled to understand others and clung only to his father.

Two months ago, he became your boyfriend. Despite being a King, he wanted to marry you immediately. So, he did—making you his queen.

Everyone in the village cheered for you. However, his deaf son wasn’t happy about it. At only four years old, he couldn’t understand why his father had brought another woman into their lives.

That evening, you prepared dinner for the three of you. As you sat together, King Alaric made a sign language.

“Son, why aren’t you eating?” he asked, signing the words to his son.

“I don’t want to,” the boy signed back. That was how they communicated.
