“What I am trying to say is… Think about yourself a bit more will you…!?” said Rubia as she wiped her tears
“…” tears fall off from Fredricks eyes
“Huh…!? Are you alright...!?” said Rubia
Cuurently -
Fredrick’s Pov –
I knew from when I was a child that I was someone who would never be loved… Even if it was an act... The first time my mother had embraced me before my father was somewhat special to me at first… But my father only visited my mother and I once or twice a month and my mother grew excited whenever he had come...
She immediately poured out affection to me before him but once he left after seeing that I was doing fine… My mother had taken out all her anger on me... The maids who witnessed the scene were all terrified of my mother which was why they never bothered to help me…
After that incident all I was left with was the realization that I was someone who was ha
Previously -“Ha-ha…! So, get some sleep today alright…? If you have bad dreams then just imagine me by your side you won’t feel scared then…! I will be with you...!” said Rubia in a cheeky way“…!”“Bye…!” said Rubia as she left before Fredrick could answer her“You are the one who has gotten braver...” said Fredrick as he placed his hands on his face which was flushedCurrently -Rubia’s Pov –He cried… I wonder why I always see myself in him. When the tears rolled down from his Ocean blue eyes my heart throbbed. When he told me that the goal, he had in his life was to become a worthy Prince… I felt a sense of nostalgia because in my previous life I was just like him…I always took everything upon myself because I was entirely aware of the fact that my existence itself was worth
Previously - What the hell is this…!? The newspaper has a picture of a man who has black hair on the front page…!In the novel ‘True Love’ there was no mention of another person who had the dark black hair other than the Emperor and Fredrick… Black hair was considered as a type of hair only Royal seemed to have yet the guy in the picture clearly has dark hair as well… Just what in the world is going on…? Currently - “Carol…!” said Rubia as she raised her voice “Yes miss…?” said Carol as she entered the room “I am allowed to go out of the palace aren’t I…?”“Yes miss. You are allowed to do so.” “Then… Let us go to the Royal library…!” “Very well your highness... I will ask the maids to get you ready and the carriage to be kept ready.” “Thank you.” Rubia gets ready and boards the carriage. * “Let us go.” Said Rubia as she sat
Previously -What a strange lady… I’ve never met a woman who was this interested in such matters...But I hope the magic lasts for some more time… I hate covering myself with appearance transforming magic… I learnt my lesson from the last time… And I was given sufficient scolding as to never head out with my natural appearance… How exhausting…Currently -The carriage arrives at the Royal Library. *“Thank you for the ride…” said Rubia“Aren’t you going to do something for me…? I did help you didn’t I…,” said Alex“You are right… If you are ever in a problematic situation, I will offer my aide.”“Thank you for that…!”“I am the one who is thankful.”Alex’s Pov –She truly is such a
“I told you not to do anything reckless didn’t I…? Alex.” Said Duke David from the kingdom of Atria“I did not do anything reckless old man… I just saved a damsel in distress…” said Alex “Damsel In distress…!? The person you helped was not any ordinary lady…!” “Yeah yeah… She is the young lady from the Charleston house… I was curious about her because I heard rumors that she had changed a lot so I wanted to see for my own amusement… It isn’t a crime to help someone is it…?” “It is not… The lady you offered help to was Rubia Mary Albert Charleston who is the fiancé of the crown prince…” “Were they engaged…? I had no clue…” Duke David’s Pov – I have been taking care of this child ever since he was young which is why I know that he lied about not being aware of the engagement between His highness the crown prince and Lady Rubia… I suppose the child feels bad because he has the assumption that he is
The previous emperor was someone who was unbefitting for the title of ‘Emperor’… It was decided that he was to inherit the throne ever since he was young but he wanted to make sure that he would be the only royal… He wished for the death of his only brother... The kingdom of Atria and the Kennedy Empire had a good relationship in the past as well but the emperor grew an interest for the princess of the kingdom of Atria… Her name was Amaryllis. She was made the empress against her will and was often abused by the emperor… He appreciated her beauty but the reason he married her was to break her… He wanted to see her with a broken expression on her beautiful face… He was overjoyed as he saw her weep and mourn asking for help knowing no one would help her… It was amusing for him... The current emperor Aelius wished for revenge against his uncle who was the emperor… Aelius had lost himself in a pit
Continuation from CHAPTER 42 - THE MAN NAMED 'ALEX' Previously - Alex… There is no one named Alex in the Kennedy Empire... Could he have been one of the Nobles who were visiting the Empire from the Kingdom of Atria… Who is he…? Rubia couldn’t have lied to me… And the knight along with her says that the man’s name was indeed ‘Alex’… Currently - “What are the results of your investigation…?” said Fredrick to Tristan “We contacted the information guild and they said there was no one named Alex in the Kennedy empire… They suppose that the person her highness met was... The crown prince of the Atria Kingdom… His name is Alexis.” Said Tristan “Alexis… I suppose it is his first time coming to the empire. The King and Queen of the Atria kingdom are great people…” “Is that so your highness…?” “Yes… When that woman passed away the King and Queen were the only people who understood my true fee
This chapter will be a continuation from CHAPTER 43 - THE EMPIRE'S PAST Previously - Princess Amaryllis had died during child birth and her final words were for her child to not be taken to the Kennedy empire… Alexis was made the crown prince of the Atria kingdom instead. Aelius was hit hard by the death of Amaryllis’s death but he was not given time to grieve because... The nobles had pressured him to fill his harem and to produce an heir to carry on the family lineage. The person he was to be married with was… the princess of the Southern Kingdom… Princess Vanessa. Continuation - Vanessa first met Aelius when she was invited to the Kennedy Empire by the previous emperor. She possessed a great beauty and the previous emperor wished to take her into his harem when she was old enough. She met Aelius purely by coincidence. She was on a tour around
Previously -The events of that night were blurred to Aelius. He had come to regret meeting Vanessa.Vanessa's death had surprised the Southern Kingdom but they dared not fight against the Empire without a strategy.That is where the events of the Empire's past end.Currently -Rubia's Pov -What a story! I never read anything about the Empire's past in the novel but this book contained every single secret!Not everyone in the empire is allowed in the royal library and since I am not only the young lady from the Charleston house but also the crown princess of the Empire.It's quite the advantage... Why didn’t I think of it before...?A knock is heard on the door of the room. *"Good morning your highness. It is time to-." said Carol"Good morning Carol." said Rubia as she got up from her bed"Did you not get any
Previously -"Does anyone have anything they would like to say before I end this gathering...?" asked Aelius*Damien raises his hand. *"Is there something you'd like to say, Grand Duke Valentino...?" asked the emperor"Yes." said Damien in seriousnessCurrently -"I would like to use this gathering to my advantage and inform you all of my future plans. I am aware that almost everyone in this room despises the Southern Empire's Emperor for his foolishness and greed." said Damien"...?" The nobles stared with confusion at Damien having no idea what the consequences were of the words he uttered"I will be starting an internal revolt against the emperor." said Damien as he smirked"What is the meaning of this, Grand Duke?" asked the emperor"I am sure you all have your doubts about me, but you have to trust me when I say this... I despise the Bastard sitting on the thro
"A wedding invitation from the Kennedy Empire?" "Yes." "It's finally here. With this we begin the plan, Marcus." "Yes, your excellency, the Grand Duke Valentino." Meanwhile at the palace. * "So, what you mean to say is that... there actually is a person called Damien from the Valentino Grand Duchy?" asked Sarah "Yes. He is a relative of mine from my mother's side of the family. He has been a friend of mine ever since I was young." "I see." "Why do you have a sudden interest in him, Sarah...?" "Fredrick... I promise you this, I will tell you everything once the Ceremony is over. Hiding things from you, the man whom I've fallen in love with is... Hard. I know it may seem unfair but, please give me some time." "Alright, Sarah. I trust you with my life." said Fredrick after which he kisses Sarah "Get some rest, Sarah. I know how rough things have been with yo
Previously -"Were there any other marriage candidates excluding me...?" asked Sarah"Hmm... There was the princess of the Southern Empire but, since her constitution is weak it is obvious that she cannot marry me. The other one was the daughter of Marquese Dinax." answered Fredrick"Dinax... I've heard about them.""They are a family known for their knights and their loyalty to the Empire."Currently -Six ladies from Noble families will come for the interview. I am free to choose at least three or four out of the six but, I doubt there'd be a majority of the ladies who are interested in the job.They may have hidden intentions like spying on me or seducing Fredrick.But they would have to be stupid if they thought of me as a foolish naive Lady. I will make sure I educate those who may intend to harm me in the future on how I am no 'Foolish Lady'..."Let the first group of Ladies in.,&r
Previously - Fredrick, I do not think I have ever be able to understand you but, I sincerely wish for you to live a good life. You deserve that. Since, I read not only the original story but also the Altered version of the story where Fredrick is not the male lead but, the villain and Rubia is never brought up. It is kind of Ironic to know that Me and Fredrick do not have the relationship of Villainess and Male Lead but, Villain and Villainess. Currently - Sarah's Pov - I liked the novel 'True Love' for a lot of reasons but, I also found it sad because the author never displayed the emotions felt by other characters excluding the Male lead and the Female lead. The feelings felt by Rubia when she was waiting for her death while the man, she loves gets married to the woman she hated. Those feelings were ignored and cast aside. The author of the Novel 'True Love' had made
Previously - "Since, your body was sensitive to magic after the poisoning incident so, I was asked to limit my usage when next to you by Sid. Your body's condition is getting better now." said Fredrick "I see... So, you’re saying that I can see Aura's when my body's cured...?" asked Sarah "Yes." "The only ones who have Aura's are the highest of nobility." Currently - An aura. It was a term that was never used in the novel 'True Love'. Fredrick has nothing to gain from lying to me and I trust him since I know my feelings for him. But, how could the author not mention anything about it in the book...? Have the events of the book altered because of me? Now that I think about it... My brother and Lady Margaret have recently started going out with the family's approval. This was not the case in the novel. Louis was someone who had absolutely no interest in anyone other than Catherine.
Previously - "My name... Its Sarah." said Rubia as she looked at Fredrick with her hands clenched "...!" "Sarah James." "It is a pleasure to meet you, Sarah...!" said Fredrick as he smiled Currently - *The couple arrive back at the palace after their date. They have their meal and take some time to talk about the Empire. * "Is it safe to say that the nobles have decided to heed the emperor’s warning to them...?" asked Sarah "I am sure you know that the noble's and aristocrats hate making choices or decisions that bring them a great loss. The nobles who plotted along with the Southern Kingdom were just trashy Counts or Barons who were about to become fallen nobles." "Of course, I am aware of that." "The one thing every noble fear is making a rash decision which may lead to the Family's downfall in the near future. They who have been labelled with th
Previously -"I had figured that you have been hiding something from me ever since long time. But I kept silent because I knew that it would be a hard topic for you." said Fredrick"...!"Currently -Rubia's Pov -He knows...?I have pictured this situation in my head countless times and the only solution I could come up with was try to evade the question somehow.But why the hell am I so nervous right now...?Am I scared... that he will leave me after knowing that I am not the real Rubia?My heart tells me to tell him the truth hoping he accepts me for who I am. But my mind tells me to think about it rationally."Before I try to answer your question could you answer my question, Fredrick?" asked Rubia"Okay." said Fredrick"When did you start having these thoughts... about me hiding something from you?""Ever since I heard from the emperor
Previously -The imperial bloodline has 'That' curse within us... I am certain that it was not a dream but, a vision that even a saint or saints could never be able to see.I know it is selfish of me but, I want to know how Rubia would react to the story.Currently -Rubia's Pov -A play made by Fredrick. Ah! I'm so curious but, I what type of play it could be... an educational play...?That sounds like something that Fredrick would make but, the expression on his face tells me that it isn’t.I'm quite excited!"These are our seats. Wait for me over here. I'll meet with Jonathan (the playwriter)." said Fredrick"Sure but, you don’t want me to come with you?" asked Rubia"How about after the play? I'll take you to meet him.""Sounds good. Thanks, Fredrick!""Of course." said Fredrick with a smile on his face*Fredrick enters th
Previously -The only question in my head is what the female lead is doing right now?Isn’t something supposed to bring the Male lead and the female lead together?The prophesy will be declared soon and the thing I worry most about... May indeed happen.But my selfishness exceeds each coming day.Currently -"Rubia... are you sure you can accompany me? You do not have to push yourself..." said Fredrick in a depressed tone as he looked at RubiaRubia's Pov -The thoughts I had from yesterday have proved to be a real pain in my neck. Today was supposed to be a day where I and Fredrick had a chance to be together and talk about each other's past... But I'm ruining it. Hahn..."I am sorry, Fredrick. I had a few things on my mind but, I do not want to throw away this chance!" said Rubia as she closed her eyes and let out a laugh"Hmm..." said Fredrick as he turned his flu
