Chapter 2

"My lady—"

"I'm not in the mood Gwen, tell Mama that I want to have my dinner inside my room." I cut her words off. 

She looks confused when I walk pass on her and went straight to my room. 

I'm pissed, so much that I want to kill right now. 

He was playing with me, I didn't realize that he was like that. It's disgusting, the way he smile and the way he looked at me, it's making me vomit. 

I immediately wash my hands roughly until I can no longer smell his scent on my hands. 

I tore the dress I was wearing and threw it on the trash bin. 

As I looked my face on the mirror, my eyes are red because of frustration. I can't believe I was such a stupid lunatic woman in the past, I fell in love with someone disgusting. 

His touch and his kiss, I can still feel it. I growled and jumped on the bed to erase my frustration, but it gets worse. 

Hades Sylvestre, the eldest among the seven royalty siblings. He was given the title as the Crown Prince and the first in line to the throne, he's ruthless and doesn't live among the opinions of others, he only thinks of himself. 

That bastard left me when everyone goes against to me, he left me because I no longer have use to him. 

Such reason, I will never accept it. 

Shame, If only I killed him before I died then my reborn would not be so bad at it is. 

I heard a knock from the door and Mother entered with worry on her face carrying the tray of food. 

"Ali, are you not feeling well?" Mother asked after she put the tray on the side table. 

I shook my head and get up. She caressed my face down to my neck and hold my hand, Mother really is a sweet woman. 

"Mama I'm fine," I said to stop her worry.

"I'd like to make sure that my daughter is fine."

I smiled and stuck my head on her arms, embracing her smell and soft skin, Mother really is the best. 

"I heard that the Crown Prince visited? His Butler gave me the invitation for his birthday celebration." 

My forehead fumed with disgust hearing his name, I want to throw up right now. 

"Uh huh," I answered avoiding myself to make a bitter sound. 

She let go from my embrace and looked at me. "You look worn out, are you really fine?" 

My eyes closed and open repeatedly before I shook my head. 

"Actually mama, I have something to tell you." I tried making my voice convincing as the commercial in an opera. 

"What is it Ali?" 

Let me say it now or I will no longer have the chance to say it to her. 

"Mama, I want to live inside the Palace. I want to stay with his highness, I'm... I'm really in love with him to the point that it's making me feel insecure with the noble ladies entering the Palace." 

I clenched my fist to hide my disgust in every words I said. 

Mother's mouth left opened looking at me with surprise. 

"Is that the reason why you're feeling unwell?" she asked. 

My forehead bittered, it doesn't have to do with it. I'm not unwell, I'm totally mad and frustrated. I couldn't even bring myself to directly look at him. 

"Y-Yes," I answered.

She sighs before she caressed my shoulders. "You should've told me, but it's making me feel sad that you wanted to live separately with us."

My eyes widen and immediately shook my head, there's no way!

"Mama, you will always be my home, you, papa, the knights, and the servants are my family." 

Her lips trembles and I saw tears coming from her eyes. "You've grown Ali, you've changed so much that It's making me scared."

She pulled me closer and hugged me, I heard her sobs that makes my body softened. 

I can't just stay happy until everything repeats again, I will make them suffer, the one who was behind our death. 

After that, I will let them live freely until I got to see their smiles, I got to see them getting older and die with nothing, but a happy memories. 

Mother seems to had a talk with Papa, I know that papa wouldn't worry too much because he trust the Empire so much, but in the end he was betrayed by the Empire itself. 

"My Lady, please bring me with you—"

"Do you know why mother birds forget their babies?" I asked making her paused for a moment. 

A smile formed on my lips as my eyes stares at the moon that shines so brightly. 

"because they no longer need to guide their babies to fly," I continued. 

Someday, she will understand me. 

"Gwen, will you still follow me even if I turn into an evil one?" I asked.

Of course, I already know the answer. 

"Yes, my lady. I will never abandon you even if it means going against to the God, I will always be with you."

That's right, never did I doubt her. She was always like that, giving her life to me until nothing has left to her. 

That's why I'm making this decision to change everything, even if it means making her go against to me. 

"I already made my decision, I will not bring anyone from the D'aureville manor. His highness would give me his most favorable servant right?" I turn my gaze on her and I saw how her eyes glittered with questions. 

Yes, the favorable servant would be the Butler, I will start with him until I got to see how his life will end. 

Of course it wouldn't be boring to start with him since he took his own life just to acknowledge me as the one who killed him. 

"Will you really be alright without Gwen?" Mother asked. 

I stopped and turn my head on her. "Of course mama, I trust his Highness." 

I trust him so much that my inside wants him dead. 

Father offered his hand and helped me to ride the carriage sent by the Crown Prince himself. 

What a thoughtful bastard.

"I'm jealous with your father, he can enter the palace without a problem that's why he looks at ease," mother hissed and glares at my father who was laughing. 

"There's no way, I'm sad too, see? I'm sad." 

He avoid the slap from my mother, they look so cute that it makes me calm. 

I will protect them, no one can ever lay a hand on them. 

My eyes stares at them before I wave my hand as a farewell, for now. I must leave the manor to ensure my plan and to succeed from every steps I make. 

The carriage already moved and I saw them waving their hands on me, my eyes left on Gwen who looks sad until I lost their gazes. 

When the carriage became quiet, I felt my expression darken. The coldness of my inside is just too strong that I want to destroy everything I see. 

An hour passed, the carriage stopped and entered the golden elegant gate, the tall pine trees are making it look more beautiful. 

The entrance of the Sylvestre Empire, I can already hear the loud pleads of the people when I was sent to death, when my head was cut off on the guillotine. 

I grabbed my neck feeling the suffocation, how can I not forget everything when even a glimpse of the palace makes me lose my breath? 

"We're here my lady," the knight says and opened the carriage door. 

I swallowed hard before I formed my lips with a bright smile.

I am going to start here. 

"Talia." 

My eyes turn on the carriage door and I saw him giving a hand, damn, how could I forgot that he's here? 

I accepted his hand and stepped out on the carriage, the smell of the breeze coming from the Palace is making me vomit. 

I felt his hand on me when we entered the Palace, around ten servants are following us. 

Where is he? 

Where is the Butler? 

"Greetings your Highness and to you the lady of D'aureville, I already prepared the gazebo for you to have your time with each other." 

I grinned when I heard the voice, the man I've been waiting for. 

"It's been a while Sir Gavin, you're still good looking as ever." 

He chuckled and shook his head. "There's no way my lady," he humbly denied. 

"Yeah, of course since his Highness is the most good looking of all." 

Hades gave me a cold stare before he smiled. "Do you really love me that much?" he asked. 

I burst a laugh, I was in love with you before you looked at me pathetically when I died. 

"Don't tease me your Highness, I'm still too young. Your Highness will always be in my heart until I got to marry you," I said with my tone full of love. 

God knows how I am too much as a liar. Well, I don't believe in Gods anyway.
