BLAIRE

"To the one who is reading this,

I entrust thy soul with all of ye secrets, be it with thy being or whole life. This heart of mine is connected to memoir that I've left. Thy may not be able to see thee whilst reading this, however, I hope through this notebook, my memories will be encrypted with thine.

My love, the star of my universe, believe and you will see that everything inscribed in the delicate pages of this diary is never fabricated. Be still and never act on an impulse for there would always be a right time for everything. 

Remember me, my pains, and my sufferings. Make it yours until the day you will avenge me, My Nightingale."

    Sirens and Mermaids are nemeses since the beginning of time. Although they live in the same environment, their personalities are like oil and water. The latter is known to be gentle and kind while the former is alluring and mischievous in nature. In a flash, her tail vanished and a pair of feet came into sight. She glared at me with her cobalt blue eyes and furiously marched in my direction. My maid grabbed my wrist as she stood before me, protecting me with her body from my origin's arch-enemy. Everyone knows that mermaids and sirens never get along. Now, I get the reason why my blood would never be calm around her. She stared intenselyat my maid and gardener who were present in the situation and parted her lips. "I will say this once..."

    BLAIRE I slowly opened my mouth and ate a spoonful of dessert with a little uneasiness. The number of eyes that has been focusing on me are making me feel uneasy for quite sometime now. I've already been used to Mr. Spy's unwavering stares but not from the others. I gently placed my utensil back on my plate and smiled awkwardly at the three of them who are standing in front of me. "Uhm..." "My lady, you should drink more water!" "You should eat more food to stay healthy!" "I've prepared these dishes to supply you with ample nutrients for your body, my lady!" I scratched my head and squinted my eyes without removing the smile on my lips to them whose faces are fu

    Blaire "Haaah!!" I heaved a deep sigh before sitting up on the bed. I massaged the temples of my head and decided to get some fresh air. The sweet midnight breeze immediately embraced my pale skin against the thin nightdress that I'm wearing. The mixed scent of wet grass welcomed my nose in delight before averting my gaze towards the starless sky. The void is filled with dark gray clouds but the shining moonlight is slowly peeking through the small gaps. I can't sleep! I sighed once again in frustration. Is it because I'm too nervous? or maybe too excited? of what? what the capital looks like? what other people in this world is like? My uneasiness made me pout like a child. I closed my eyes and felt the gentle wind comforting me in its own way. When was the

You wouldn't believe what I just heard!" the high-pitched voice made my heart sink in hopelessness. The sound of her heels paused as she entered the room as if reading the atmosphere. Mother? Is she....I slowly lifted my head and the moment our eyes, she sneered at me with disgust and sashayed her way towards her mother. The color of her hair resembles the Empress but hers was longer and straighter.

    BLAIRE "But Your Highness--!!""Joewella, I've already made up my decision. This is the path I want to take and I'll take responsibility for whatever happens." She frowned upon seeing my firm determination. I know that Joewella is just concerned about Victoria but I have a task to fulfill in this body. I can't accomplish anything if I just stay inside my abode. I took a deep breath and gently held her hand "Just.... trust me with this, okay?" She nodded her head weakly and embraced me tightly. Eunice came out of the palace with a hat in her hand. "Your Highness, you might need this to cover your wounds.""No need, Eunice. I already have a cloak---""The weather is very hot and you must protect your skin, Your Highness.""I won't be walking long so there's no---""Aaah! Maybe you prefer the parasol! Plea

    BEN The mysterious lady walked past the people without averting her gaze away from me. I smirked at her gathered courage as she faced us with more confidence than before. "Forgive me for my late introduction, my lord. I am the new recruit of Jerome, you can call me Tori. I would be glad to be in your service." I narrowed my eyes and examined her carefully. Her clothes are not lavish unlike what the nobles wear and her unrefined actions made it enough to assume that she's a commoner like us. However, if she's a normal citizen, she wouldn't bother to cover her face. I stared at her intensely before I noticed something. Her eyes--she's hiding something. Now, if she's a spy, this will be more interesting. "Remove your mask." Her body tensed at my words but her eyes spea

    "Your Highness, can I talk to you for a moment?" Blaire turned her head and saw Evander, the Intelligence Commander of the Black Sun with a serious expression. Victoria was stunned by his appearance for a moment. His midnight blue hair was neatly brushed back with his undercut and his eyes glistened like the color of the ocean. She only noticed how attractive he is now that she has seen him up close. She excused herself from the rising number of people congratulating her and followed him.They passed by a narrow hall where the noise is slowly dying with Blaire quietly followed him from behind. She started to get wary as they continued to stray farther from the place where came from. She finally decided to stop in her tracks as her expression darkened. 'He's not planning of secretly killing me, is he?' Noticing that the presence behind him stopped, Evander looked back with cold eyes

    BLAIRE "uuhhh... do you think this is fine?" I asked Eunice shyly as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My mix-colored hair was temporarily dyed with blonde and neatly tied into a braided ponytail. Some loose strands fell but they don't look messy, rather they outlined my face in a pleasant way. The long dress I was wearing was similar to that of a maid with the colors white and black. Eunice's eyes twinkled as she excitedly looked at me from all sides. "My lady! You look so beautiful!" I hid my face in embarrassment as the other workers started to praise Victoria's beauty. Ah! I'm still not used to these stuffs! The head waitress entered and clapped her hands to catch our attention. "That's enough! Back to work!" I lifted my head and was surprised to see a familiar face behind her. "Evander!" He smiled gently a

    BLAIRE "My lady, shall we go now?" I lifted my head and smiled at Eunice who was extending her hands to me. I accepted her assistance and got in the carriage with drowsy eyes. Noticing my sunken aura, Eunice didn't bother to ask questions and allowed me to close my eyes and rest against the wall. I can't sleep well from what happened last night. All my emotions are too mixed up that I can't distinguish one from the other. I gave out a sigh and lifted my heavy eyelids on the window. The people are crowding over the streets, laughing, talking, doing the things they've always done. +Please wait a moment. I will upload the full chapter in the next few hours.+

    BLAIRE "Haaaaaaaah" I let out a deep sigh as I surrendered my body against the door. How many times have I sighed this day? I closed my eyes and enjoyed the cold breeze of spring comforting my racing heart. I've barely started the plan yet it seems like my life span has drastically decreased. I shook my head in defeat and smiled sadly. Life's never been easy to me. I slowly walked towards the railings of the balcony and inhaled the sweet scent of the moist green grass.I turned my gaze upward and appreciated the beauty of the wraith-silver disc hanging in the withered skies. Lasers of moonlight, as bright as diamond-flame, turned the scenery a-glow like melted platinum together with the tiny heavenly bodies glittering merrily in their lovely abode. '12th balcony to the left' is what I remembered to be Duke Vel Lavite's sanctuary in the Imperial Palace. I still remembered a scene from the book where he attended a banquet and got distressed

    BLAIRE “My lady,” I flinched at the sudden voice behind me. W-what was that? I didn’t notice their presence at all! I tightly closed my eyes and took a deep breath. You can do this, Blaire. In three, two, one… I dramatically turned my head back with my hair swinging like a melody of a lullaby as I faced the group of gentlemen walking in my direction. “My lord,” I called back with a gentle voice and a coy smile. My eyes were narrowed from the uplift of my cheeks as I secretly inspected them from head to toe. These men…. they may be wearing ravishing clothes befitting a noble, however, their crude etiquette could never conceal their rigid per

    BLAIRE “Ugh! I don’t feel right,” I grumbled with an uncomfortable expression. I leaned my head against the wall and sighed. Ben couldn't help but chuckle at my frustrating situation. “There’s no need to be nervous. I bet the duke won’t be able to take his eyes off you.” I ran my hands on my waist with an uncomfortable expression. “Why is this so tight?! I can hardly breathe!” Ben frowned and soothed my back with his gentle hands. “The aristocrats have always believed that: the slimmer the waist; the more desirable a woman is.” “Hah! What bullshit is that?” I scoffed and flipped my head away in disbelief. I can feel Ben's glare digging through my head but I didn't dare to look back. So is this how I’m going to clothe myself from now on? “I’m not withstanding this!-” “-Not unless you become the Empress,” Ben replied abruptly with a s

    BLAIRE “-ur Highness! You have to wake up now!” I drowsily opened my heavy eyelids at Joewella’s urgent voice. “Mmmm--what?” I asked weakly while rubbing my eyes. “We have to start preparing now!” I furrowed my eyebrows and glanced through the window. The sun is just about to rise and you’re telling me to start preparing? “The party is still is still in the evening, right?” I asked dumbfounded at their panic. Eunice looked at me with fire burning intensely in her eyes as she clenched her fist in the air, and replied emphasizing each word. “Let’s. Start. Now!” With that, a couple of women with familiar faces entered the room. Wait! They are the ladies from The Black Sun! What are they doing here? They looked at each other and exchanged strange expressions. Uh-oh! I don’t lik

    BLAIRE My jaw dropped at what I’ve heard. This man looks like a living statue, perfectly sculpted by the gods but would have been better if you wouldn't hear them speak. “W-w-what are you talking about?!” I immediately found my stable footing on the ground and pushed him away. “Who are you?” I asked with furrowed brows as I didn’t take my suspicious eyes away from him. The hood from his cloak gently fell on his back and his glorious crimson hair shined brightly under the heat of the sun. Woah! He’s hot! It’s definitely a sight to behold as his purple eyes looked back at me gently. He flashed a smile so bright that even the sun envied his radiance. “It’s me! Ishi!” He exclaimed excitedly. Ishi? I don’t think I’ve heard that name before. I tilted my head and thought for a moment. I d

    BLAIRE “HAHAHAHAHA!!” “Stop laughing, Evander! You’re making me more embarrassed!” The heat on my cheeks is burning up as I tried to hide my face with my hands and kept my head low. “I was an expert with heights before but Victoria has a really bad sense of balance!” “Seriously! Who would try to climb on top of a door?! HAHAHHAHAHA” Ughh! My face flushed redder than it was before that I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole. I started to hit Evander on the arm and explained,“I do! I was scared of tall places before but I wanted to be an acrobat so I conquered my fear little by little and now it has become comforting thing for me already!” Evander

What’s with the commotion? I carefully got up and suddenly, 6 pairs of eyes immediately turned in my direction. “What’s going on?” I asked weakly as they froze in place. “Your Highness!” They shouted in unison which startled me greatly. They ran towards my side, leaving the poor silver-haired guy on the floor with his hands and feet tied. “Are you okay?” “How do you feel now?” “Are you in pain?” They asked me countless questions in a hurry that it started to make me feel dizzy. Ah! Suddenly, a quick shadow entered the room thro

    BLAIRE “Here’s the paper today, Your Highness.” Joewella placed the newspaper in front of me as I slowly took a sip from my drink. “It’s really weird to see milk inside the teacup instead of tea,” Eunice murmured quietly while frowning. I turned my head towards her and smiled sarcastically “Then close your eyes.” “Your Highness!” She cried in annoyance as I laughed out loudly. “You’ll get used to it in no time, Eunice.” “But I should not. It should be you who must get used to drinking tea, Your Highness. Noble ladies serve and drink tea in parties, not milk!” “Aya!” I waved my hand in disapproval as I frowned. I know that but I can’t get over the taste of this expensive drink yet. I have four other siblings at home and we can’t afford to buy milk so I’m taking my time and enjoying every bit of it here.
