I drove away the guards who were following me and climbed up the tallest wall in this palace. When the wind blew, I stood on the high wall, opened my hands, closed my eyes, and let the breeze blow through the ends of my hair and across my cheeks. My big red dress fluttered, dancing gracefully with the wind. It must look like the bloody edge of the horizon with the setting sun. Cristin, do you see it? The person who killed you is dead and she has been punished accordingly. Are you looking down right now? Cristin, you must be lonely over there by yourself. Don\'t worry, I will be with you soon. Cristin, I especially wore your favorite big red dress today. You said that red looks festive, so I thought it was most suitable for a day like today. Cristin, do you blame me? Do you blame me for not listening to you and returning to the most prosperous and ruthless place in the world? Don’t worry, I will leave here... soon.
My name is Lisa Jiang, and I am the only princess of the Western Kingdom. I also have an older brother named Philip Jiang. He’s five years older than me and is the prince of the Western Kingdom. Zach was the child my father picked up from the mass grave when I was five years old. When I first saw him, he was only seven years old. He was skinny and dying of hunger. It took strength to rescue him. When he first arrived at the palace, everyone saw that he was timid and didn\'t like to talk, and he seemed like he was always on guard. When he was older and became familiar with the palace environment, my father asked him to accompany my brother as his reading companion, but privately, his food and clothing costs were almost the same as my mine and my brother’s. My father said he was very pitiful, he wanted me to play with him more and even asked me to call him as my brother. I didn’t want to call him older brother. I only have one older brother
My father did not call Zach back, and I missed him more and more each day. I heard that he was brave and invincible that everyone in the army praised him. It was said that he made military merits and was granted the seal of the capital division. He was also awarded as a fourth grade official. I heard that he was injured and was pierced in the ribs by a sharp arrow, and his life was hanging by a thread. My hand holding the embroidery needle trembled at the news and the sharp needle pierced my finger. Blood dripped on the sachet that was sewn crookedly by me and it was soon smudged. In addition to embroidering the sachet which has been torn down and re-embroidered by me countless times, I had one more thing I did every day, and that was kneeling in front of Buddha, praying for Zach’s recovery and safe return. My temper was much quieter, unlike before when I acted like a wild girl. My father said I finally have something a princess s
I began to wait day after day, but fortunately, he often returned with letters, which helped eased my pining for him a little bit. Hearing that he had won a big victory the first time he led the army, he quickly gained fame. He was loved by both generals and soldiers which gradually cultivated his own power. Hearing he was brave and invincible, as long as the enemy heard his name, they would be frightened and would retreat. It was said that in just three years, he opened up territories for the Western Kingdom, conquered more than ten cities and captured more than 80,000 prisoners. He finally got his wish and became a general. He told me in the letter that he had already asked for my father’s permission to get married and that my father promised him that he would agree when he takes over the North. \"My Lisa, you must wait for me,\" Zach said in his letter. He called me his Lisa and he said he would marry me as his wife.
The first time I was pointed at with a knife was when I was fifteen years old. Earlier that day, I happily put on the most gorgeous clothes and stood on the high palace wall, waiting for him to return triumphantly, waiting for him to marry me as his wife. Unbeknownst to me, the news of my father and brother’s death were also waiting for me. I never thought that these words would be associated with Zach. \"Why?\" I was now on the high palace wall, looking at him with fearful tears. I was still wearing his favorite dress. I fiercely clutched the sachet in my hand, the one I spent three sleepless nights on, because I promised to embroider a better one for him when he left three years ago. \"Why? Why are you doing this! Have my father treated you badly? Ten years ago, he brought you back from a mass grave. He raised you by his side, taught you to read and write. He also taught you how to ride a horse and archery! You became a famous general fr
Before, I always stubbornly believed that if a person had the determination to die, then no matter what, he could achieve his wish. But now, I found out that I was wrong. Because I jumped down twice from the palace wall that was more than ten feet high, but both times, I didn\'t die. Perhaps this was God\'s will. It was God who knows that I have not yet avenged my grievances and wouldn’t let me die. In fact, when I learned that I was not the real Elisa Lin, I thought about the countless possibilities of my true identity, but I had never thought that I would be Princess Lisa Jiang. It was rumored that Zach was so in love with her that it was enough to change the country’s name with hers. He also collected women who look like her in a harem, so he wouldn’t miss her former princess, Lisa Jiang, day and night. I was afraid that no one in the Eastern Kingdom knew who I really was except Zach. Even Cristin didn\'t know about th
Zach\'s hand paused, and it took a long time before he whispered, \"I know.\" I suddenly raised my head, sad and tearful, \"Why? Since you knew that wine was poisoned, why drink it?\" \"Because...\" Zach lowered his head, raised his hand to stroke my cheek and smiled bitterly, \"Because I don\'t want to see you sad again, I\'ve made you sad long enough, my Lisa.\" He called me \"my Lisa.\" The wine pot in my hand rolled down slowly, making a slight dull sound. My body shook and even my voice couldn’t help but tremble along with it, \"You knew everything?\" \"I knew it from the moment you woke up, your eyes could never deceive,\" he said with a slight smile, but it was sad and desolate, something I had never seen before. \"Today is the anniversary of your father\'s death. It has been ten years and I have never forgotten it. I knew that this day would come sooner or later, but I didn\'t expect it to come so fast.\" Fast? He
I couldn\'t wait to snatch the so-called \"will\" from his hand. I thought about it, no matter whether he said was true or not, drinking two glasses of the poisoned wine I made with my hands would definitely kill him. But when I saw the contents of the will clearly, I fell to the ground, \"No... It’s impossible. It couldn’t be...\" The scroll slowly fell on the ground, vaguely written on it were the words: \"My dearest Lisa...\" I clearly recognized my father’s handwriting, there was nothing like it in this world. Everything Zach said was the truth. My father said that he had actually seen my brother\'s ambitions a long time ago. He knew that my brother was cruel, incompetent, had a tyrannical temperament, and could not bear the heavy responsibility of the kingdom. He said that if he had to, he would let Zach take the throne by overthrowing the palace and told me to never hate him. I suddenly remembered the words Cristin said to me, she sa
