"Your Highness please get up, you have to get ready for the banquet."
I opened my eyes and frowned when I realized that I have to attend a banquet today, the worst is that I'm going to attend with Hades as my partner.
I haven't had enough sleep because of last night. I giggled in irritation with the thought of attending a banquet with the guy who just sent those men to kill me.
I don't know what he's planning inside his mind but I guess it is connected with the banquet today.
"Last night, did you caught that man who shoot me with the arrow?" I asked.
I sat on the chair in front of the mirror and she started to comb my hair. She shook her head before giving me a black box.
"He dropped that your Highness."
When I opened the box, a necklace with a dagger was inside. I gritted my teeth before I plastered an annoying smile, he's really desperate.
"Phoenix..." I uttered the name of
Please leave a comment guys! I love you!
Third Person's pov."Your Highness—"The loud sound from the broken glass echoed in the corner of the dark room. Hades was cussing inside his head while trying to calm himself in the middle of his anger."Where's that bastard?" he asked firmly."Who, your Highness?" the Butler asked.Hades slammed the table before glaring at the Butler's direction who was looking down, unable to see the appearance of Hades."Phoenix, where is he?" he asked before closing his eyes firmly.The anger he felt cannot be compared on how Talia created an image of a victorious woman when she whispered those words.He was sure that Phoenix can do a better job especially when it's from him, unless Phoenix is a traitor and wanted to sabotage him."The third Prince is nowhere to be seen in the Palace your Highness, I already checked—""Fuck! Shut up! You useless piece
Talia's Pov. I swallowed hard before stretching my fingers to ease the tension I am feeling inside. I coughed and pressed my chest to stop myself from panicking. There was a long way for me to succeed and this is the battle where I can use my power as the Crown Princess. I need to gamble my advantage and lessen my disadvantage inside the door after this, the aristocrats meeting will be happened. Aristocrats meeting where the table is the one controlling each of every seat of the highest to the lowest nobility. When I felt that I'm already set, I formed a bright smile on my lips before opening the door. The loud chatters from the nobles echoed the whole room, such a stupid sight. My eyes landed on my father who was waving his hand, I waved back and smiled sincerely. The nobles started to lower their chatters when they felt my presence until
Betrayal is the most painful knife that could stab your heart for a million of times. It is the most painful weapon that I am afraid of. That feeling of breaking, in tears, and dying because of being betrayed. You will never have the chance to see the reason why you were betrayed because of how painful it is. Especially when it's the person you trusted the most and yet... That person betrayed you. I flipped the last page of the magazine before I raised my head on the person who just entered. "Greetings your Highness," he greeted before he slightly bowed. I offered him a seat before I closed the magazine and gave him a bright smile. "It's been a while Duke Richmond," I said. "You've been busy for how many weeks your Highness, how's your plan?" he asked before sipping the tea I've prepared for him. "Actually, the reason why I called because I wanted to
Fara raised the umbrella on the sun's direction to avoid myself from getting hit by the sun's light.We walked through the path where the noble ladies are having a tea party. Hades invited these ladies for me to have a good time before the engagement party, but how can I have a good time? They're all stupid.I fanned myself while walking elegantly, wearing a fierce look while looking straight to the ladies creating a loud chatters at the garden."Can you feel my body blazing annoyingly?" I asked."No your Highness, you're much more beautiful than them," she answered.I rolled my eyes with what she answered. I know that I'm beautiful but her answer was different from what I asked.When we arrived at the garden, I coughed in silent before I plastered a warm smile."Good morning ladies," I greeted.All of their heads turn in my direction and immediately stood up before they b
Third Person's Pov.A loud cry echoed the demise silent of the forest, the scream of pain, and the painful beg of the man trying to escape from the sword opening his abdomen.Blood came out from his mouth while his eyes were painfully begging on the man wearing a smirk on his face and mercilessly stabbing his abdomen repeatedly as if he's a meat to be feast.Until he can no longer be able to open his mouth, the pain keeps arousing until the death comes for him and died.The last moment of his life was a memory of a woman appeared on his eyes, that warmth feeling of the woman, smiling purely.Her eyes were vividly a beautiful image of an ocean scenery, the woman then turned around, she smiled purely and mouthed the words he couldn't let go.'Phoenix, I love you.'Trevor was in deep darkness while his emotions were sunken in the middle of his chaotic mind.&nbs
Third Person's pov.The sound of droplets from the faucet hitting the sink was creating a terrifying sound of silent.She washed her mouth roughly using the water from the faucet, trying to take away the disgusting feeling of his lips lingering on her lips.The sensation is still visible, she couldn't even take away the smell of his saliva from her mouth."Disgusting..." she whispered after closing the faucet.She raised her head and within the mirror was her reflection, her pair emerald eyes were like a venomous snake trying to find a prey.She tilt her head like a dog, examining her whole appearance and chuckled devilishly with the thought that she's really gorgeous.Her eyes blinked for a moment before covering her face using her hands. She messed up her hair and cussed in silent while gritting her teeth."Monster," she whispered looking straight on her own reflec
Talia's pov."I love you," he whispered on my left ear with his warm breath lingering like a breeze from the cold wave of the ocean.I froze with my eyes, widely opened."Trevor, are you drunk?" I asked while trying to defeat the awkward feeling in between our bodies.He chuckled before leaving my shoulder and raised his head, looking at me with pain on his pair eyes."Am I drunk in your eyes master? Do I? Tell me, master, do I look stupid in your eyes?"He looks frustrated, it's unbearable to see him. He clenched his jaw and bit his lower lip when I didn't respond."I'm sorry," I whispered.I thought that I can play him well when he's inside my palm yet the more I see it, the more it's unbearable to see how he's suffering because of love."Master, am I not doing well?" His expression darkened and tears suddenly poured out from his pair eyes.
I stood up within the center seat in front of the painting I designed myself with the help of the history book of Paradis Empire.The portrait was the image of the Imperial Crown facing towards the bloody sword, the scenery of blood dripping from the sword while lying on the elegant table.The Imperial Crown depicted in the painting is often suggested to signify the pursuit of empire. However it also represents the claim made by the Paradians that they were descended from the Paradise of Minoan, who was by legend descended from Fyudor Pedelian, the mythical founder and first king of Paradis.I glanced at the necklace I made from the old crest of Paradis Empire, the pendant of the lost Royal dynasty and compared it to the new crest which is from the Sylvestre.The blue and white royal rose was created by combining the emblem of the House of Sylvestre (the blue rose) with that of the House of Valerian (the white rose).T

I took a deep breath before getting the pen and the paper on my bag. I opened the 13th page and started writing.“Spring has come but I feel like Iʼm a naked body standing outside the winter. Shivering and being devoured by the cold. All those days of plague and pain has overwhelmed me and turned my life into mayhem. Little by little I am swallowed by the devastating world and hollowed by afflictions and self-doubt.Those floral days are over, paradise fled away and transmigrated into a dire world filled with pure melancholy.”Upon writing those words I crumpled the paper and throwed it. I dropped my pen for I donʼt know what to write anymore. When I turn my gaze outside the window, the sunset was creating a light to the path of freedom.I smiled with warmth painted on my face. As I started to write another letter for the next 14th page.Dear Unknown,
The sky wears a mix color of black and gray. I cast about some luscious voice but heard the whisper of the cold wind that will likely bring downpour and thunder.Later I witnessed the cloudburst of little white flowers so as all the grievance and mourning that spreads sorrow to the entire atmosphere.I literally donʼt understand the unforseen happenings but wished for all of them to quit whining. Seconds had passed, I saw myself somewhere deep in a cold stratum. I didnʼt realize that darkness offered tranquility in this overwhelming situation. It goes like this all the time, I miss everything that I had back then such as the chirping of the little birds that creates a soothing melody. Ocean waves rage and banged through the sea rocks. Itʼs been too long since Iʼve seen the dawn so as the sun that peeks through the mountain and greets a good morning. I havenʼt seen the stars and the moon and couldnʼt grasp a chance to acquaint them all my lamentations and
Third Person's pov.Her mind must be a grave of unsaid thoughts and those unspoken that are fettered with tribulation. She spent an hour of looking her own reflection through the whole body-sized mirror. A tall woman of more than average of a statue, a lustrous neck length hair with a white fitted wedding gown.Her eyes were sparkling with solitude and her mind was fighting with compatriot. She, who has the power of vengeance will step inside the sacred room to proceed with the rebellion. She wears a lustrous image but she wrote a bloody rhymes inside her mind.She once dreamed of wearing a beautiful wedding dress, she once dreamed a peaceful wedding with her husband on her side. It was a vintage pavement on her mind that only withered like a dry branches.Narrowed by how the time passed by whilst she was standing with power and confidence on a whole body-sized mirror that was bereft by serene melodies.A glitch of her
Talia's pov.Mind of mine was in its peaceful state, caught up with the silence of the whole room. Lately, I've been grasping the scent of old books I've always read in the past. I missed the old times, the scent of books and painted calligraphy so as discerning the dust particles in the air from the old bookshelves.While I am sipping the tea from my teacup, I was reminiscing the old good times when I was still at my teenage years. I was the lady who chose to stay silent and lived a life without getting involved into any tensions."Rumors that the nobles failed to pass their request about abolishing your crown. That's why the Sylvestrian people are creating a ruckus outside the Imperial Palace to surrender the imperial seal," Declan said.I hummed and put the teacup on the table. "I guess they aren't good enough," I mumbled.A servant suddenly arrived while holding a tray of glass of water and a medicine. "Greetings,
Third person's pov.The clock hits midnight and its sound was echoing throughout the tranquility of the night. The storm was on a rage outside while the nobles and governed officials were silently aligned inside the inner court of the Imperial Palace.They commence a meeting in order for them to propose their assumptions and as usual, they are taking advantage of the Crown Princess's rumored critical condition."Allow us to speak for our nation, your Majesty."Despite the ruckus inside the Imperial Palace, the Emperor was able to attend the meeting. It is their chance to abolish the Crown Princess from her position.Hades on the other hand was taking his nap on his palm while observing them."You may speak," the Emperor said.Duke Seleste was the first in line as the representative of the nobles's table. He stepped forward, hands on the filthy ground and bended his knees resembling that he is
The crumble sound from the teardrops weren't able to hide the bitterness of the footsteps from the lonely soul—thy dress in pure white.I fathomed that every footsteps were concealed with deep meaning. She was walking and walking...and walking that I could memorized her figure from her long sunrise hair, dancing along with the unsteady wind so as the wavering dry leaves were wandering in the void space.Melancholy and a fainted pictures appeared before my eyes, memories that I didn't want to go back yet I didn't want to forget.I memorized every single detail of those messy pictures ascending above on the dreary sky. Her footsteps were creating a pattern of emotions—it was empty and sorrowful.As thy cold wind touched my skin, I retrieved that the lonely soul was part of my memories. I felt disgust about those flickering scene that I didn't expect to see again.What is this? A nightmare? A dream? Or maybe i
Arcaine already left while Trevor remained. We stayed silent for a couple of minutes, or maybe, nobody wants to talk. I wanted to ask him about what happened to him when I was gone, but I couldn't open my mouth. I was reluctant to ask, nor give him a look without hesitation. He seems not to bother with the cold...winter is already coming. "It's unfair..." I glanced at him and our eyes suddenly met. Tears were on his eyes while wearing a smile on his lips. "Why do you always hurt me?" he asked. "What am I supposed to do in order for you to not hurt me?" "I wish for your happiness more than anyone else," he whispered. My mind went blank and I found myself giving him a cold look. Did something happened while I was gone? Or maybe...something changed. "Everyone have been trying to kill you ever since you became the Crown Princess. I told myself that you'll be fine and nothing will ha
"How is everything?" I asked.He stumbled upon answering my question. "I told you, everything is going according to your plan. The only problem is that boy...Trevor.""He's a man," I hissed and rest my chin on my palm. "What about him?" I asked."There's something wrong about him. Not only the color of his soul, but his actions are too repulsive. He's crazy over you," he said.I chuckled while looking straight to the pen I am fidgeting on my fingers. "Why? Did he kill some knights while trying to find me?"His eyebrows furrowed before he shook his head. He took the vacant chair and placed it in front of me. He sat on the chair and crossed his legs, manly."I've never seen a soul like yours and him. It's difficult to explain in words, but I can say that it's filled with darkness. However, there is a difference between yours and him."He place the empty glass on the table. "That glass is you, your soul is l
