Chapter 13

I was always sitting at the edge of the dining chair far from him as if I am stranger to him. 

He always say that he loves me that's why I pretend... 

He always promised that he won't leave me that's why I forget... 

He always promised that I will stand beside him that's why I trust...

Everything I did was all because I love him. I created a large effort, I collect numerous of supports, and in exchange of that is losing my humanity. 

I kill to have better results, I made them beg on their knees because I know I'm powerful. I lost every emotions because I thought that love alone is fine. 

The most painful thing that happened to me was betrayal. 

"Talia we can still talk about this, please trust me. My brother doesn't love you, he's only using you!"

"Shut up!" 

No matter what they say, no matter what they tell me that Hades doesn't love me, I won't believe it. 

I will only believe him, he promised me, in God as the witness he told me that he loves me. 

I trembled when I saw him lowering his body before he bended his knees. "Please help us Talia, the knights and their families are already suffering."

No, it's all their fault for making their lives like that. It has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with Hades. 

"I can assure you Talia, I will protect you if you will help us. We are going to proceed our rebellion tomorrow evening, we will end my brother's rein and everything will be back to peace." 

I repeatedly shook my head and stepped back. "You can't do that, Hades is powerful. You will never win against him," I said with horror. 

"I can, Talia and you know that!"

He held my hand before he begged. "Please, help us. We can't do this without you, Talia p-please." 

His voice started to crack and the tears started to poured out from his eyes, begging me to help them. 

No, I can't help him. 

I pulled the sword on his pocket before pointing it to him. "Stepped back and don't come closer," I ordered. 

He was looking at me, straight to my eyes before he gripped the sword using his bare hands. 

I can already see the blood dripping from his hands, why are you so desperate? 

"Stop it Pursues, I will not help you." I threw the sword on the floor before I turned my back from him. 

"Don't blame me Pursues because I will forget what happened today, your death has nothing to do with me."

I was the heartless, I was the crazy woman who became mad because of love. 

I always see him in my dreams, his image of begging on his knees while crying keeps visiting my dream making me possessed by guiltiness. 

There was no days when I tried not to sleep because of not wanting to see him anymore but the more I get tired, the more it becomes scary and frustrating. 

"Is that lady Talia?" 

"What happened to her?"

I can already hear the large gossips from the noble ladies. They were looking at me with their pathetic look as if I'm someone disgusting. 

"Stop looking at me!" I shouted and glares at them making them avoid their eyes from me. 

I need to see him, I need to see Hades. I missed him, I want to see and hug him. 

I stopped and I felt how my world started to crumble like a broken glass when I saw him with Madolina. They were hugging each other and the worst is that I'm seeing his smile that I wanted to see the most, with me. 

That smile I've put so much effort just to see it clearly but it was easier for Madolina to make him smile just like that. 

It's unfair... It's so unfair! 

I hurriedly walked closer to them before pulling Madolina's hair making her scream because of pain. 

"You bitch!"

She was trying to get my hands off but I was strong enough to even wound her skin with my nails. 

"Talia enough!" 

I froze and slowly pull my hands off from Madolina who was crying endlessly. 

He hugged her before calming her down, why? Why is he doing that? 

I am his fiancee! 

"H-Hades," I called.

He glared at me before calling the knights. "Get her and don't let her come inside the Palace until I say so," he ordered. 

My mind went blank, feeling the pain that was throbbing inside my heart. It's too painful that I can't bear it, why did it go like this? 

I only want him to love me, why is it so hard? I was too close of grasping such warmth from him, too close and yet it became farther until I can no longer see him. 

Please answer me your Highness, why did you betray my heart? Why did you betray me? 

I looked my eyes on the mirror and study my whole appearance from my eyes down to my lips. The emerald eyes that I didn't know I had, it was such a pity that I didn't realized how beautiful I am in the past. 

I raised my head and confidently entered the entrance of the banquet hall inside the Imperial Palace. 

I can already hear the music from the orchestra playing the music entitled 'Se la face ay pale' by Guillaume DuFay. 

I already know what happened, that I slept for three months because of my time reverse. 

My soul was trying to get back from the past making my reverse to stop and made me lose my conscious for three months. 

But it doesn't mean that I will stop my revenge just because I slept too long. I've got my heels prepared to stomp everyone that pissed me. 

I walked confidently on the red carpet seeing Hades with the Emperor sitting on that golden seat. 

Their eyes were on mine as if a dead suddenly came back to life. I can't believe you played your role as a disgusting too well Hades, should I congratulate you for having such despicable appearance? 

He was crossing his legs while resting his chin on his palm. His eyes found mine and I know, he didn't expect me to come because I saw how his expression changed. 

Great, this is really an unexpected event for me. 

When I reached three meters away from them, I held my skirt slightly up and bowed as I sign of greeting. 

"Greetings to the Sun and to the future Sun of Sylvestre Empire." I plastered a playful smile after raising my head on Hades's direction. 

"It has been a long time, do you missed me your Highness?" I emphasized the last word and grinned when I saw him tapping his fingers. 

I am no longer afraid of seeing you Hades, since I only have one goal right now. 

To kill you and to get back my throne. 

It was all mine from the start since I was the one who worked hard, I was the one who played the ruler card, I was the one who knows about the negotations. 

"Happy Birthday your Majesty, " I said before I kissed the hand of the Emperor, this seat you're sitting will be mine though. 

I'm just giving it a blessing. 

"I'm impressed, you're well taught with etiques. Did you had a good sleep lady D'aureville?" he asked looking down on me.

I stand before I nodded. "It was such a good sleep your Majesty," I answered. 

I moved my eyes on Hades and playfully grinned. "I can't believe I had such a good dream with his Highness," I continued. 

"Hmm? Is that why you're unable to wake up?" the Emperor asked. 

I chuckled. The orchestra started to go deeper near the end chorus when I answered his question. 

"Of course it was such a great dream, since his Highness was vomiting blood while I struck the sword inside his heart."

That was such a nice dream, a dream that will happen in the future.
