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
Trevor's Pov. I met master when I was still young. She was still a little girl back then but there's something unique about her. And I realized that it was her aura and beauty. She's fearless and gorgeous yet the way her eyes were looking at me feels suffocating. I thought that it was only my illusion, but she told me that she will kill me in the end. I was sad and couldn't think of any reason why she wants to kill me. I tried acting low and did everything what she ordered. But the moment her eyes looked at me earlier was definitely the real reason why she hates me so much. She wants to kill me... I climbed up at the veranda of her chamber before I knocked three times on the glass door. There are several ways to tell if master wants to see me. Knocking three times on the door is something that master and I have agreed on. And when the response
Talia's Pov."Have you heard anything about the Lion Palace?" I asked.Fara nodded and put the dessert on the table. "The nobles are trying to start a trial and they wanted the Duke Seleste to be the judge. They also wanted to talk to the Crown Prince and they wanted to declare the context of the oracle," she answered."What about the countess? Have you heard any news about her?" The countess seems quiet for a whole week."She hasn't showed up from any gatherings your Highness."That's good, she knows where to point her sword at.Everything is going according to my plan, the only problem is that Hades hadn't showed up in front of me. He kept himself inside his room and no one heard about him.It's bothering me that I don't have any knowledge of what he's doing."Fara," I called. I need to open the boundary between us. He might feel threatened because of Pursues and I
Third person's pov. "What does lady Talia mean to me? She's my one and only savior." He clutched his fingers and chuckled. "But I'm sure that she doesn't remember me, I wonder how she's doing? I've sent her a letters that I already reached my homeland together with my comrades." Declan flinched upon seeing the innocent smile of the man. It was the man who was caught when the engagement happened. Talia save him when he was about to be sentenced to death. He was grateful and he will never forget about it. "That's why I was happy that she sent you," he whispered. Declan deeply sighed. "I never thought that you would survive in such state, that woman is really unbelievable." "Are you close to her highness? She trust you so much that she sent you to meet me." Declan froze and bit his lips. They only met for a month and he doesn't even know her very well.
Talia's pov. Before Declan's mission... I flipped the last page of the magazine, humming calmly, as I wait for my guest to come. "Your Highness," he greeted and bowed. "I apologize for being late." He sat down on the vacant chair, wearing a smile on his lips. He seems prepared unlike the first day we met. I lowered my magazine and plastered a calm expression. "It's fine," I muttered. "It's only five hours of waiting so it's not really that bad," I said sarcastically. His eyebrows raised for a bit before he chuckled. He put his stuffs on the table before giving me the black case. "What is this?" I asked. "My remaining payment your Highness," he answered. I parted my lips and plastered a smirk on my face. "Hmm," I hummed. "Let's see," I whispered. I opened the case and I saw the golden bars, glittering inside the dark case. I guess
Declan's pov."Declan...will you promise me one thing?"That voice again, that blurry face of a woman that I couldn't remember."Please don't die.""Please live for me..."I cussed in pain upon getting up from a tiresome dream. The moment when I woke up 301 years ago, I know that the time was reversed.My lifespan was stopped so I couldn't die, my life was fuck up. However, even if I can still remember the era of Paradis, there's this woman that I can't remember.She's like a pigment of one's memory. I can't even remember her name, I can only remember her silhouetted appearance.As if the fate didn't want me to meet her...even in just a dream.I stretched my arms and massaged my neck while sitting on the wooden bench. It was an hour before sunrise when I woke up.This is the homeland of Goryo, the man that was o
Talia's Pov. The more I look into it, the more it's laughable to imagine. There was nothing important aside from the invitations from the nobles. "How ridiculous..." 'We have received a word that the engagement will happen next week. Please invite us all to gather at the Palace.' Distant nobles who started to create rumors about me, wants to act friendly? It's not like I am bitter enough to cancel their request. It's just that...I didn't expect that the result would be like this. I thought about it for how many times, realizing that Hades did something behind my back that caused this atmosphere. I clenched my fist and stabbed the paper using a dagger. "They must have think that they can walk all over me." There's no way
Book 2 will be published soon! Thank you for reading HER REVERSED TIME and for all your supports! Book 2 will have a different title and plot. Expect that new characters will be added and answers will be unveil on the next season. I will publish it next month, I hope that everyone is still there. I hope that everyone will still remain and support this book. I appreciate all your feedbacks and time, I couldn't describe it in words how grateful I am. I didn't expect that this book will have thousands of readers. Thank you very much... See you soon everyone! Yours, DuchessLucia
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
