Aliceliese Lou Nebulis IX/Relationships

## Family

### Mirabea Lou Nebulis VIII

Despite Mirabea's cold demeanor towards her daughters, Alice still loves and cares for her mother very much. This was shown when Salinger escaped from prison, as she feared that he might go after her next. In fact, after the coup during the events of Volume 5, Alice decided to sleep with her so she can protect her, even though Mirabea was strong herself.

Although she listens to Mirabea like a good daughter, there are times when Alice disagrees with her but can't bring herself to speak up and can only complain about it to Rin. Like how she keeps assigning her small missions and promptly return home despite having enough power to turn the outcome of a major battle. Or like when she stayed silent while Mirabea lectured her about keeping Imperial paintings in her room despite liking them.

Mirabea, in return, has high expectations of Alice and trusts her very much. Of all her daughters, Alice is the one Mirabea wants to succeed her as queen, which eventually comes to happen after a Saint Disciple nearly killed Mirabea and left her unable to rule.

### Sisbell Lou Nebulis IX

Sisbell is Alice's younger sister and eventually love rival due to their mutual love for Iska. After Sisbell shut herself in, the two didn't interact much and their relationship deteriorated. However, Alice still cares for her and is willing to protect her.

In Liesbaden, Alice (as well as Rin) saw Sisbell with Iska and shown envious when Sisbell is clingy towards Iska as if they were on a date. After witnessing Sisbell eating a leftover piece of smoothie cream from Iska's cheeks, Alice would have a jealousy meltdown and threaten to turn her little sister into a sculpture and sell it off to a jewelry shop for committing the crime of touching "her" Iska, causing Rin to restraint her. When Rin brought Iska to shoulder her master's wrath, Alice reveals that she wasn't mad at him, but only at Sisbell for holding hands with Iska, which she considered to be unfair.

When Nebulis rose up again and headed towards the Empire, Alice was worried that Sisbell would get caught in Nebulis' onslaught, so she made her way to the Empire to protect her younger sister. After Elletear's betrayal, Alice reunited with Sisbell and shown thankful of her sister's safety. Alice was initially going to take Sisbell back home to the Nebulis Sovereignty, but decided to stay at the Heavenly Empire after being offered by Emperor Yunmelngen to find the way of defeating Elletear.

### Elletear Lou Nebulis IX

Elletear is Alice's older sister and later her worst enemy. On the surface, they seemed to get along, as Alice mentioned that talking to Elletear was fun because she was cheerful and lively. However, to Elletear, Alice was nothing more than an obstacle for her to claim the throne.

Like their mother, Alice came to suspect Elletear of acts of treason, including leaking Sisbell's location to the Zoas and the failed coup. However, she regretted thinking this when Elletear seemingly sacrificed herself to save their mother. In fact, seeing Elletear being "killed" causes Alice to abandon her goal of peacefully ending the war and wish for the Empire's destruction instead, going so far as to throw away what she had with Iska. This is even more heartbreaking when it's revealed that Elletear was still alive during the invasion of the Empire and was indeed the traitor who conspired against the family. As if this wasn't enough, Elletear psychologically torments Alice even further for being so gullible, crushing what good image she had left of her sister.

Despite her sister is a traitor for endangering Sisbell and attempting to usurp Mirabea, Alice still won't kill Elletear as she wish to defeat her traitorous sister and bring her back home for her crimes, shown that she does have a remnant care for her older sister even though Alice lost whatever's left of good image she had of Elletear.

## Allies

### Iska

Iska is Alice's main rival and love interest. They have clashed multiple times on the battlefield, and have proven to be equally matched in experience, skill, and power. After their initial meeting, a series of coincidental encounters would cause her to develop a deep fascination for Iska, who shared many of Alice's hobbies, tastes, and even goals. While Alice sees these newfound feelings as respect for her rival, these are actually feelings of love.

The two are very close despite being "enemies", and she is even willing to protect Iska from her own people. At times they work together to take down a common enemy, such as the Witch Hunter or Nebulis herself. Alice teamed up with Iska and the Empire against Subject E.

After seeing Sisbell doing all sorts of things with Iska, Alice becomes jealous and ends up in a foul mood. However, she calms down once she reenacts them with him, including holding hands and pressing her chest against his arm. This causes the two to become flustered.

While sleeping together with her sisters and Iska at the royal villa, Alice attempted to remove Iska's pants because he saw her panties earlier from their drawer.

After Elletear's betrayal towards her, Alice spent some time with Iska. In their mission to defeat her sister, Elletear and destroy the Great Star Disaster, Alice asked Iska if he is interested in her for her title and power, only for the latter replied that she will be Alice to him even if she lose her powers or status.

### Rin Vispose

Rin is Alice's attendant and they are very close. Because of her status as a princess, Alice didn't have many friends growing up, but Rin was always there for her.

## Enemies

### Salinger

As a notorious criminal who attacked the previous queen, Alice wanted to stop him because she was worried he would go after her mother next.
