Chapter 4

Alexander:

I entered my room, seeking solace in the secret space that only I knew about. But as I opened the door, I felt an unexpected presence - Aurora's. It had been a long time since I'd felt this way, and I couldn't understand why it was happening now.

I uncovered the hidden pictures of Aurora, the only ones I had left. The room was filled with memories of our time together. I gazed at the baby clothes she had prepared for our child, a painful reminder of what could never be.

My heart burned with anger and a thirst for revenge against Cassius. I vowed to destroy everything he held dear, including the earth. I wanted him to feel the same pain I had endured - the pain of loss, of being shattered into pieces.

My existence was now solely driven by revenge. I had helped Amara only because she could aid me in my plan. I would use her and then discard her, just like everyone else.

I didn't care why she was forced out of the palace; that was irrelevant to me now. My focus was on my vendetta, and nothing would stand in my way

I sat down, surrounded by the memories of my past, and let out a bitter laugh. How had it come to this? I, Alexander the once-noble being, now consumed by hatred and a desire for destruction.

But I couldn't help it. The pain of losing Aurora, of being betrayed by my own brother, had left a scar too deep to heal.

I stood up, my eyes fixed on the picture of Aurora, and made a vow to myself. I would see this through, no matter the cost. I would destroy Cassius, and everything he held dear.

And then, I would turn my attention to the earth. I would make them all suffer, just as I had suffered.

I walked out of the secret room, closing the door behind me, and began to make my plans. Amara would be the key to it all, and I would use her without hesitation.

After all, in my world, there was no room for sentiment. Only revenge.

As I walked out of my room, I could feel the darkness growing inside me, spreading its wings, ready to take flight.

And I knew that nothing would ever be the same again.

I made my way to Amara's room, my mind racing with plans and strategies. I would use her to get to Cassius , and then...well, then I would take care of her too.

But as I entered her room, I saw something that gave me pause. Amara was sitting on the bed, her eyes fixed on a small, leather-bound book. She looked up as I entered, and our eyes met.

For a moment, I forgot about my plans, forgot about my revenge. All I saw was her, and the way she looked at me.

"Alex," she said, her voice soft. "I've been reading about you."

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what have you learned?"

Amara smiled. "That you're not as bad as everyone says you are."

I laughed, the sound harsh. "Don't be fooled," I said. "I am exactly as bad as they say I am."

But Amara just shook her head. "I don't believe it," she said. "I think there's more to you than that."

I felt a pang of surprise. No one had ever looked at me like that before, like they saw something in me that I didn't even see myself.

And for a moment, I wondered...maybe I wasn't as lost as I thought I was.

But I pushed the thought aside. I couldn't afford to be weak now.

"Enough," I said, my voice cold. "We have work to do."

Amara nodded, and I could see the determination in her eyes.

Together, we would bring down Cassius , and everything he stood for.

And then...well, then I would take care of her too.

But for now, I would use her.

And maybe, just maybe, I would find something in her that I thought I had lost forever

We spent the next few days gathering information, planning our attack. Amara proved to be a valuable ally, her intelligence and cunning impressing me.

But despite our growing partnership, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was using her. That I was manipulating her for my own ends.

And yet, I couldn't stop myself. I was too far gone, too consumed by my desire for revenge.

As we prepared to strike, I could feel the darkness inside me growing stronger. It was a palpable force, a living thing that pulsed with an energy all its own.

And I knew that once I unleashed it, there would be no going back.

"Alex," Amara said, her voice hesitant. "Are you sure this is the right thing to do?"

I turned to her, my eyes cold. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"I mean, is revenge really worth it?" she said. "Is it worth losing yourself?"

I laughed, the sound harsh. "I am already lost," I said. "And revenge is all I have left."

Amara looked at me, her eyes searching. And for a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of understanding there.

But then it was gone, and she nodded. "Let's do it," she said.

And together, we set out to destroy Cassius, and everything he stood for.

The darkness inside me cheered, its energy surging with excitement.

And I knew that nothing would ever be the same again.

Do you want me to go there as maid and gather some information about him ? She asked 

Well ! That's nice plan but is risky ,I don't want her out of my sight and Cassius is not someone she could handle.

He is more than what she could imagine ,I don't know if she have any other plans apart from being his maid 

Hold on ! Did she said a maid ? A princess to a maid ? Did she knows what maids do ? 

I'm going with that plan "She said sternly and walked out. 

Did she just walked out on me ?
