AsherThe shrill cry of someone caught my attention as I unbuttoned my sleep shirt that morning.As I wondered who had the audacity to scream in my palace, it dawned on me that it was my sister, Akira.Just like a flash, I turned towards the door and rushed out of my room. As soon as I got to the hallway, I saw her already running towards my room, barefooted.The sight of Akira crying like a baby pierced my heart. My brows furrowed, and I instinctively ran towards her. As I closed the distance between us, I heard her maids saying to her, "My lady,""Please stop crying," "Take it easy, my lady,"Their voices were a discordant hum of distress as they scurried behind her like bees.They kept begging her, but she seemed too broken to pay attention to their words.As soon as I caught up with her, I held onto her upper arms, and I realised she was shaking. The fear written on her face was undeniable as I stared at her complexion, which had turned crimson."What happened?" I asked her, st

XenraIn that instant, Akira stepped out of the podium, her feet heavy with determination as they carried her towards me.I turned to her as she drew closer, but before I said a word to her, her hand shot out and landed heavily on my cheek.The sound of the slap sent every single maid into silence, and they all fixed their gaze at me, waiting for what would befall me."I trusted you!" Akira yelled, her shrill voice echoing off the walls. Her jaw was tight with fury as she stared at me with her eyes wide open in wrath."Yesterday I brought you to my inner room and even gave you gifts, not knowing you're a thief and a betrayal," She said, her words tumbling out in a single rushed breath, dripping with a mix of anger and disappointment."So when you were asking me about my mother's sacred heirloom, your plan was to steal it afterwards and cause me pain?" She asked, her brows tightly furrowed as she tapped her chest."I thought you were a good person. I trusted you and drew you close, but

Lena"Yesterday when I saw her walking towards Akira's chamber, I followed her and eavesdropped on their conversation," I said, my voice full of pride and confidence.As soon as I began to speak, Royce folded his hands in front of him, his eyes glinting with anticipation as he waited for the full details.Seeing the expectation glinting in his eyes, I shrugged my shoulders, because that was basically it. "Well, an idea popped up in my head after I heard their conversation and boom!" I added.Although I had been thinking about how to set her up, I had never thought about a way to get it done as soon as possible.In fact, I never thought I was going to do it anytime soon. Seeing how they seemed to trust her, I had thought it would be difficult to get her entangled in my web, I never thought it would be so easy to get her off my path for good."After listening to their conversations yesterday, it dawned on me that Akira had just created a perfect opportunity for me." I swiftly added, my

Asher"What would be her judgement?" Akira's words broke into the thoughts that had kept me busy."I want the judgement to be as soon as possible. I don't want it to last for long. Thinking about it is making me really upset." She said, her voice tight and determined.As I stared at my little sister, I could see how hurt she was, and I knew she just wanted to close every chapter about Xenra so that she could move on from the hurt she was feeling."Exactly what I was telling your brother before you came in," Lena swiftly chimed, her voice firm and steady."There's no need to pet the situation; the judgement should be as soon as possible," she said.But then, how could I get myself to pronounce a judgement on her? The thought of it alone filled me with a great sense of uneasiness, and I couldn't get myself to do it.As soon as the words left her lips, Akira turned towards her, the furrow on her face etching deeper."I wasn't talking to you; I was talking to my brother," she said, her wo

XenraMy heart was heavy as I seethed in the corner of the room I was thrown into, my jaw tightly clenched in a fuming rage.Although I wasn't locked up in the dark dungeon as I had expected, which had left me confused, I was too engrossed with the anger swirling inside of me, to pay attention to it.Deep within me, I was certain; I didn't need anyone to tell me it was either Royce or Lena who had framed me up. The look I had seen on their faces confirmed it."It couldn't be any other person but one of them." I pondered aloud.I knew a mere maid couldn't have done it so fluidly; even though they all hated me, I knew only someone of high rank could do such a thing.Everything was carefully plotted and executed, and it almost seemed as though Akira had a hand in it herself, but then I knew she wasn't that kind of person.As my thoughts lingered, the look I had seen on Lena's face and the small smile I saw on Royce's face kept replaying before me, further infuriating me."But why?
