BACK TO BE THE UNWANTED ONE The First Move
The silence that followed Marquis Dane's departure lingered heavily within the room.Princess Kiara Hyperion remained seated by the open balcony, her crimson eyes fixed on the sea of lights stretching across the imperial capital. The city glittered beneath the night sky like countless fallen stars. Laughter echoed through the streets below as music drifted upward on the cool evening breeze.For a long moment, she simply watched.People smiled.Children laughed.Families walked together beneath rows of glowing lanterns.No one looked burdened.No one looked lonely.It was as if sorrow itself had vanished from the capital tonight."...So it was today," she murmured softly.Without another thought, she retrieved a dark cloak from the wardrobe and draped it over her shoulders. Pulling the hood low enough to conceal her face, she climbed onto the balcony railing.Then—she jumped
BACK TO BE THE UNWANTED ONE The Girl Who Returned From the Flames
For what felt like an eternity, Kiara Astesson Hyperion stood motionless before the mirror.The reflection staring back at her was not the broken woman who had accepted death beneath the ruins of a burning church.It was the face of a sixteen-year-old princess.Smooth skin.Bright crimson eyes.Long raven-black hair cascading down her back.No scars.No chains.No loneliness.Her trembling hand slowly rose to touch her own cheek.Warm.Alive."...I really came back."The words escaped her lips as little more than a whisper.Behind her, Marquis Dane Renneth Chalde watched silently, his usually carefree expression replaced by concern.He had never seen his sister look so lost."Kiara..."She slowly turned toward him.For a long moment, neither of them spoke.Her memories still felt like fragments of shattered glass.The burning church.The collapsing ceiling.The unbearable pain.The suffocating smoke.Then...Darkness.Yet somehow...She had awakened here.Sixteen years before everythi
BACK TO BE THE UNWANTED ONE Echoes Beyond Time
Part II – The Beginning of the TruthThe first rays of dawn filtered through the enormous windows of Marquis Dane Chalde's mansion, bathing the grand dining hall in warm golden light.Long before any of the adults awoke, the seven heirs had already gathered downstairs.For once...No one complained about waking up early.Not because they were eager to attend the Imperial Academy.But because today...They would finally walk through its gates together with Theodore Silver Celestial.Luke could barely sit still.Kyra looked equally excited, her crimson eyes sparkling with anticipation."Theo, hurry!" Luke urged. "We'll be late!"Theodore calmly sipped his tea."We're an hour early.""That's exactly why we're late," Luke replied confidently.Everyone stared at him.Neil sighed."I've stopped trying to understand how your brain works."Just then, the dining hall doors opened.Marchioness Maria Renneth Chalde entered gracefully.She stopped the instant she saw Luke.The young man was hold
BACK TO BE THE UNWANTED ONE Echoes Beyond Time
Part I – The Weight of Forgotten TearsThe seven heirs stood before the grand estate of Marquis Dane Chalde, their gazes fixed upon the magnificent mansion rising proudly against the evening sky.Calling it a marquis' residence almost felt insulting.The sprawling estate rivaled the residences of royal families. Towering white stone walls surrounded elegant gardens blooming with rare flowers gathered from every corner of the empire. Marble fountains glittered beneath the moonlight while countless lanterns illuminated winding pathways leading toward the enormous manor.Niel couldn't hide his astonishment."I thought this belonged to a royal family..."Luke grinned proudly."Welcome to Uncle Dane's home."Marquis Dane chuckled."Enough sightseeing. You'll have plenty of time tomorrow."The adults entered first while servants guided the younger generation toward their guest rooms.Everyone retired early after such an exhausting day.Yet...Sleep refused to visit them.Inside one of the w
BACK TO BE THE UNWANTED ONE The Confusion
The tension that had suffocated the banquet hall gradually faded after the former emperor was escorted away. One by one, conversations resumed, though hushed whispers still followed Duke Adrian and Lady Kyra wherever they went.The younger generation prepared to leave the banquet hall and take a stroll through the imperial palace.Just as they reached the entrance, a graceful figure approached them.It was Her Majesty, Empress Katherine.The entire group immediately halted.Standing beside Marquis Dane, Kyra hesitated.Do I bow...?She had never formally greeted the Empress before.Before she could decide, the Empress smiled faintly and inclined her head politely toward Marquis Dane.Dane returned the gesture with equal respect."Your Majesty."Without another word, he stepped aside.Realizing what was expected, Kyra gave a small, respectful bow."Your Majesty."Instead of allowing the young girl to remain bowed, Empress Katherine gently held her shoulders and raised her upright.The
BACK TO BE THE UNWANTED ONE Recognition
The atmosphere within the Imperial Banquet Hall gradually relaxed after the arrival of the Grand Duke and his heir.Standing beside Duke Adrian Astesson and Marquis Dane Chalde, Grand Duke Alcred Silver Celestial exchanged a silent nod with the two men. Words were unnecessary between rulers who had shared decades of trust and countless battlefields.Behind them stood Theodore Silver Celestial.Tall, composed, and expressionless, he resembled a statue carved from silver and ice. Few people dared to meet his gaze, and fewer still possessed the courage to speak to him.Despite the cold aura surrounding him, there was one truth everyone close to him knew.Beneath Theodore's icy exterior lay a heart that belonged entirely to one person.His younger sister.He loved her beyond reason and would protect her with absolute devotion, no matter the cost.Luke wandered over to Theodore with a dramatic sigh, still embarrassed by Kyra's earlier teasing.Theodore glanced at him from head to toe befor
