I didn't respond and remained seated on the side of the bed while staring at the window where I can see the fascinating appearance of the moon.
I just realized that no matter how we avoid the darkness, it is still important to us.
Because without darkness, we cannot see the beautiful image of the moon.
I felt his hands on my cheek and the square-sized bandage he put to cover the wound on my cheek. He was making a serious expression while treating my wound.
I was about to move when he pressed my chin and mouthed to stay still.
"If I was the same person in the past, I would really scream because of happiness." I chuckled and slapped his hands away from my cheek.
I'm pissed because of the reason that's been bugging me the whole time when I reached the palace.
That he changed and that he's different from the past.
I don't want to admit it and
Slap....This sharp pain, the taste of blood spilling onto my tongue. Just because you've prepared yourself to be struck, doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt.I knew that..."What's wrong your Highness?""Tell me what—"He slapped me again and grabbed my hair while his eyes were definitely dim."How long can you feign your ignorance?" he asked coldly."I am not feigning my ignorance, I simply don't want to believe it!""But how could I not believe such rumors when I saw it clearly with my eyes? You are trying to cast me aside! I heard it, you're going to make her the Empress!"The way the emitted sound of the broken glass window reminds me of how lonely I am, how he disposes all the belongings I kept inside my room was echoing inside my ears like a thunder clutching my eardrums."I was trying to tolerate you since you are my fiancee, but I will not tole
Savannah's Pov.The duel's term of defeat of losing the handkerchief wrapped around the arm or stepping out of the bounds, to me, it felt like a given victory by her Highness.Clang...The way our wooden swords are exactly dancing the same rhythm is unbelievable. Her sword was like a pen to her, she's carefully swinging her sword while breathing heavily.I'm much stronger than she is.There is no way that she can win against me.I raised my wooden sword. "You've lasted quite long," I whispered."Now release all your fingers and go," I said. I'm trying to snap her out from the illusion of winning against me.Slam...I stabbed her chest and gritted my teeth. And so, that was the destined outcome...She fell down on the ground while blood were scattering from her body.That's what should've happened...But what is going on here?&n
Talia's Pov.He pulled off the bandage and wrapped it around my palm to cover my wound. He caressed my cheek and let out a deep sigh.Hmm? He seems bothered by something."How did you get so hurt?" he asked, whimpering like a puppy."Stop staring Trevor," I said."I'm just upset that's why, you're unwilling to interrupt your work when I'm with you. Can you just take a rest for a bit?" he asked."I'm fine. Although the process is infuriating, I've obtained a new piece that is worth it all."His expression softened. "I'm not sure if that person is worth your effort. To be honest, I can't help but think that it's a loss."He seems like he wanted to tell me something. I was busy for about weeks so I didn't had the time to visit him.Should I ask what's bothering him?"She's a knight and a daughter from the noble Lavescha."His eyes
Third Person's Pov. "I'll raise your severance pay by 3 times, so for those who wants to quit, please raise your hands now." The servants weren't able to open their mouths. Thus, they have the same look as if they didn't want to quit, or rather, they must not quit because it was the job that was given to them. "Then..." A servant was hesitant to raise her hand but she does so. "I—" upon raising her hand, the loud gunshot echoed within the whole Palace. She coughed blood and fell down. They gasped and shivered down to their places while looking at the dead body. "Heh," she murmured and burst a devilish laugh. "You guys are fine with me just giving 3 times of severance pay?" she asked. Her expression changed when the servants didn't raised their heads while remaining silent. "Why isn't anyone raising their hands?" she asked coldly. "There's no way that you wou
Talia's pov. I've never been fond of meeting an old lady, I thought in the past that they are useless since all they want is to replenish their reputations. But she's different... Countess Graham isn't just an owner of the jewelry business but there's something more about her. "I've boiled this tea from the first tea leaves harvest of this year, I heard you enjoy this tea." I poured the tea on her tea cup and beamed when I saw the odd expression on her face. She roamed her eyes around before she coughed for a moment. "Are you living comfortably inside the palace?" she asked. I chuckled and nodded. "The crown prince always checked me whenever I'm having my breakfast," I answered. "Does the Emperor told you something?" she asked. Heh, I guess the rumor already reached the nobles's domain. "I don't think the Emperor would have time to tell me some
Dear Lady Madolina Seleste, I know it's odd to receive a letter from me, but I am not a bitter woman who will likely hate you because of the oracle. Yes, I heard about the oracle and I know you're happy because of the sudden news. I've known you for quite short but I realized that you are someone who's close to his Highness's heart. I don't hate you nor angry about the news, I'm actually happy for you. Please take this flower as a sign of our friendship, it's a flower I picked myself. I hope you will like it... Yours,Crown Princess Talia D'aureville "Did she received the bouquet I sent for her?" I asked while flipping the page of the magazine. "Yes, your Highness. She accepted it with a smile on her face," Fara answered. I expected it, Madolina is a person who most likely choose a friendship before betr
Third Person's Pov. "We couldn't figure out the cause of it aside from the flower that was given by the Crown Princess." They gasped and shuddered with horror upon hearing what the physician has said. They thought the the Crown Princess is trying to apologize for acting impulsive towards the pitiful Madolina. But they didn't realize that the flower was poisonous and that the Crown Princess deceived Madolina. "What should we do? We are going to be killed the moment that the Duke will found out about it." "Send two knights to take the antidote inside the chamber of the Crown Princess, it might be better if she's dead!" the Butler ordered while gritting his teeth. After the two knights left the dukedom, the servants tried to lessen the poison from Madolina's body but it was getting worse. Her skin were dry and cold. Her lips was fairly white and she's more likely seen as a c
Talia's pov. "I can't believe I'm seeing you right now, I thought you were dead. Why are still alive?" "Shut up, I can't focus. You're too ugly." "Why do I have to stay in one place with these jerks?" "Really? It came out from a lady with an eye patch, is it painful for the barbarian to lose her eye?" Savannah and Arcaine draw their swords. They pointed each other's neck while gritting their teeth. Declan took a fork of cake before he burst a laugh. "Damn, both of you are totally sucks." "Shut up!" they yelled both and glared at Declan. I thought it was fine to meet them at the same time, but I was wrong. My mind went blank while looking at them, they were fighting since the moment they've met each other's eyes. I let out a deep sigh and massaged my temple. Trevor was combing my hair as if he doesn't mind anything aside from my hair. Fara was calmly stan

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
