The gentle sunlight came in through the window of Princess Selina's room. The room was so beautiful and majestic. Everything in this room dominated by white. The room is spacious and painted white. A fine white carpet covered the floor of the room like snow. White roses decorate the entire room, making this room even more beautiful.
Selina was sitting in a chair looking at her face in the mirror of the dressing table in front of her. Her maid stood behind her, brushing her beautiful long black hair.“My princess, you are so beautiful like a goddess.”Selina smiled at her maid from the mirror with prideful on her face. Her maid smiled back at her with a fake smile. Selina has a face as beautiful as a white rose, but everyone knows that she has a heart as black as a black rose.Someone suddenly knocked on the door of the room. “Come in,” Selina said as she kept admiring her face in the mirror.The door opened, and a maid walked into the room and stood by Selina. “My princess, I have news for you.” Selina turned to her maid. “What is it?” she asked curiously. “The girl doesn't sleep in the maids' room. Prince Lucian made her sleep in the attic upstair his room,” said her maid.The anger and jealousy smoldering inside Selina made the demon in her heart awaken. “You two go to the attic now and teach her how to be a good slave!”“Yes, my princess,” the maids said with evil smiles on their faces, then they walked out of the room.The maids banged on the door when they got there. “Open this door now!” said one maid. They walked into the room when the door opened. Suddenly, one maid slapped Violet hard on the cheek. “You lazy slave! You are here to work, not to sleep!”“No, I'm not sleeping. I'm still here because no one is telling me what to do.” Violet wanted to say those words to them but she didn't dare open her mouth to speak and could only say it in her heart.“Why are you still standing here! Get off your ass now! And do your job!” the maid said, glaring at Violet, then she and her friend walked out of the room arrogantly. Violet sighed inside before she followed them behind.The maids brought Violet into the stables. “Clean it up now!” one maid said to Violet, while pointing to the pile of horse dung in front of them.The maids smiled evilly, seeing Violet, who was about to vomit. “Please, I can't do this. I don't even want to touch that,” said Violet. The maids' faces turned angry, and one of them pushed Violet's body so that she fell onto the pile of horse dung.Violet immediately stood up hastily, her uniform and her arms smudged with horse dung. The maids laughed mockingly as they watched Violet vomit, crying.Selina then walked into the stable with the two maids behind her and stood some distance away from Violet. Selina had an evil smile on her face as she looked at Violet, her heart so happy to see her suffering.“My princess,” the maids who bullied Violet greeted Selina with evil smiles on their faces. “Take her now. I have a special gift for her that she will never forget,” said Selina while gazing into Violet's eyes with hatred in her eyes.“Yes, my princess,” one maid said, then she walked closer to Violet while covering her nose with her hand and pushing Violet's shoulder roughly. “Move now!”They all then walked out of the stables towards the dungeon.
Esther, who was peeking at them through the stable window, was sad and worried about Violet. She immediately ran to find prince Lucian and told him everything she had seen and heard.Violet's heart raced with fear and sadness gripping her at the same time as she saw her uncle hanging on the cross. He had skinned alive. “Uncle Fredrick!” Violet said as she cried with her body trembling.Fredrick stared at Violet while enduring the excruciating pain. He couldn't say a word and could only shed tears from his bulging eyes.Selina smiled with a satisfied expression on her face, then she grabbed Violet's face with her demon eyes fixed on hers. “I want to skin you alive just like your uncle, but I have better plans for you. I will make you suffer more than death.”Selina then walked over to get a burning hot iron bar and walked closer to Violet. “Hold her!” she said to her maids.“No! Please let me go! Please...” Violet said as she struggled in tears as the maids held her arms. Selina smiled evilly; she couldn't wait to burn Violet's beautiful face. “Selina! What are you doing?!” Lucian said as he and his two soldiers walked into the dungeon before the hot iron touched Violet's smooth cheek.Selina turned her head to Lucian in startled as she wondered why he could be here. She then distanced the hot iron away from Violet's face and gave it to her maid.The maids who were holding Violet's arms immediately let go of their grip on her as Lucian stood in front of them, staring furiously into their eyes, making them look down in fear.Violet was so frightened her body trembled that she sat on the floor. Lucian wanted to hug her in his arms, but his mind suddenly reminded him not to do that.Lucian's eyes opened wide in shock when he saw Fredrick hanging on the cross. “What have you done to him? Why did you skin him alive?” Lucian asked, looking Selina in the eye.
“Why are you asking me that? You were the one who said you wanted to skin them all alive!” Selina protested.Lucian fell silent, staring into Selina's eyes as he told himself that what she said was true. Violet had made him forget his grudge against her father. Lucian couldn't bear to hurt Violet, and he didn't even have the heart to hurt those who Violet cared about.“Have you forgotten her father killed our beloved father!” Selina shouted to Lucian as she pointed her finger at Violet.
“I'll never forget that!” Lucian lied to her and to himself. “Then prove it! Kill them both for our father!” Selina challenged Lucian.Lucian then took a sword from one of his soldiers and stabbed Fredrick right in the heart. “No! Please don't kill him! Please, I beg you,” Violet said as she cried, covering her mouth with both hands.Fredrick looked into Lucian's eyes, grateful for giving him such a quick death. He was in so much pain he couldn't take it anymore.Fredrick realized Lucian had fallen in love with Violet and it made him feel relieved that Violet would be safe in Lucian's protection. But Violet didn't realize that. In Violet's eyes, Lucian was a cold-blooded killer who had killed those she cared about.Lucian pulled the sword from Fredrick's heart when he was dead and gave it to his soldier while saying, “Take her now.”
“Yes, my prince.” The soldiers then walked over to Violet, who was crying, and helped her up from the floor. “Where are you taking her? You must kill her now!” Selina said to Lucian as the soldiers took Violet out of the dungeon.Lucian walked over and stood in front of Selina with his cold eyes fixed on hers. “I already told you, I will kill her after I bored playing with her. Don't go against me. You'll regret it if you make me angry,” he said in a threatening tone.Selina clenched her palms with anger burning within her as she watched Lucian leave her walking out of the dungeon.The soldiers led Violet to the maids' bathroom. It was Lucian who ordered them to take her to that room so she could clean herself. “Violet, are you all right?” Esther asked worriedly when they were standing at the bathroom door. Not a single word came out of Violet's mouth, only tears dripped from her sad eyes. “We leave her to you,” one soldier said into Esther's eyes. She nodded at him before those soldiers left the room.Esther sighed sadly inside seeing Violet's pale face, her uniform and her body were dirty and smelly. “You should take a bath now and change your clothes,” Esther said. Then she took Violet's arm and led her into the bathroom.Violet had finished bathing and changed into her uniform. The beautiful flower has become as beautiful as it should be. Esther smiled warmly at Violet, who was standing in front of her. “Let's have breakfast now. You must be hungry,” she said. Violet shook her head. “I'm not hungry.”Esther sigh
Lucian walked into his uncle's room and he saw his uncle with Selina sitting on the couch, staring at him with anger in their eyes. His uncle's name was Luther Steverus. He is the younger brother of Lucian's father.“Uncle, Albert said you wanted to see me,” Lucian said as he sat on the couch opposite theirs.“Why did you make that girl your slave? You must kill her now!” his uncle said, raising his voice.Lucian smiled casually. “I did that not without reason.” His face turned serious. “We still can't find where Darius is. My informant said that Darius has fallen in love with Violet, so I want to use her to catch him. He will come out of hiding to save her and we will be able to kill him.”Lucian said a lie. The truth was, he found out about the news when his informant told him last night and he used that excuse to save Violet's life so she could stay in his arms.His uncle furrowed his brows in thought. “That's a good plan,” he said as he nodded
In the kingdom of Merrill.This kingdom is not as beautiful and peaceful as before. The flowers that previously bloomed so beautifully were now scattered, covering the blood on the ground. There were no more birds singing beautifully, only a flock of crows devouring the corpses of the soldiers.There was no longer the cheerful laughter of the children. All that could be heard now was weeping and gnashing of teeth. Violet's mother was standing by the window in her room, staring at the moon covered in black clouds, with tears streaming down her cheeks. Grief and despair gripped her firmly at the same time, making her unable to think straight. She could no longer hold back the sadness in her heart, so she chose to end it.She wiped her tears, walked to her bed, and sat there. She took the knife from the bed and placed it close to her beating heart. “Violet... Please forgive me....” she said in tears.Suddenly, her bedroom door opened just as she was
“Open this door now!” It surprised Violet to hear a woman's voice banging on the door. She recognized the voice. It was the voice of the maid who bullied her back then. Her heart was racing with both fear and anxiety as her body petrified. She too scared to get up from her chair to open the door. “I knew you were in there! Open this door or Princess Selina will cut your head off!” Violet had no choice but to obey. She then stood up from her chair, walked over, and opened the door. The maid shoved Violet on the shoulder hard as she walked in and stood before her with her angry eyes fixed on hers.“Move now! Princess Selina ordered you to clean her room!” “I must not leave this room. Prince Lucian ordered me to do that.” The maid suddenly slapped Violet’s cheek so hard. “You better shut up or I’ll slap you every time you open your mouth,” she said, glaring at her. Violet held her cheek with her trembling hand while enduring the pa
“Cut off her hand and I'll cut off your head!”Violet opened her eyes when she heard a familiar voice shout those words. She suddenly felt safe seeing Lucian standing near to her with two soldiers behind him.“Let go of her now!” Lucian snapped at the soldiers who were holding Violet. “Y-yes, my prince,” the soldiers said obediently and carried out his orders. Lucian skewered them with a lethal glare. “Your prince?” he asked. He reminds them who he is now. The soldiers immediately bowed to him. “Please forgive us, my king,” they said in fright.The anger in Lucian's eyes turned to sadness and anxiety as he looked at Violet, who was standing terrified by the soldiers. Her body was trembling, with tears dripping from her frightened eyes. Lucian wanted so badly to hold her in his arms, but his mind forbade him from doing that.Lucian moved his gaze to Selina, who was staring at him with anger in her eyes. “Why did you order them to cut off her hand?”
The light from the same moon that shone on Violet and Lucian came in through the window of Lester's bedroom in his castle. Lester was sitting on the sofa in the room, crossing his legs with his index finger on his lips while his thumb on his chin. His eyes sparkled devilishly, thinking about Violet. He couldn't get her out of his mind, even for a second. Her beauty has cursed him, driving him crazy about her.He was like a hungry demon wolf who wanted so badly to eat the beautiful rabbit he loved the most, but unfortunately, he did not know that another demon wolf had eaten the rabbit.The sound of someone knocking on the bedroom door broke through his thoughts, making him look at the door. “Come in,” he said. The butler, along with a young maid, walked into the room when the door opened and they both stood in front of him.The maid had an innocent face with the same eye color and hair color as Violet had, but her face was not as beautiful as Violet's. “
The gentle morning sun shone on Violet, who was standing in the back garden facing the roses in front of her with scissors in her hands. She stood like a statue. Her gaze was blank, with dark circles around her eyes. Her body was here, but she left her soul and mind in that beautiful lake.She couldn't sleep at all last night. Every time she closed her eyes, she remembered what Lucian had taught her. She could still feel his soft touch and his warm breath against her skin that made her body shiver in pleasure and made her feel like she was on fire. She loved so much the way he enjoyed her body and she will never forget the pleasure and pain he had given her.“Good morning.”The sound of someone greeting her politely broke through her thoughts, making her turn to her left in startled and she saw Albert staring into her face. She just realized that he was standing beside her. She didn't even hear his footsteps as he headed towards her. “Good mornin
Lucian walked down the hall to the attic in a hurry. He couldn't wait to hug Violet in his arms. “Young master, please wait!” Albert said from behind, making Lucian stop his steps and turn around. “What is it?” Lucian asked as Albert stood before him. “Horace is waiting for you now. Your messenger has given him news.”Lucian told himself he had to meet Horace now. He then forced his feet to walk with Albert to the secret chamber in the underground of this palace. A well-built man wearing knight uniform was standing in the chamber waiting for Lucian. The man was Horace Asog. He is one of the warlords of the Melancthon kingdom who is loyal to Lucian.“My king,” Horace greeted Lucian politely as he and Albert walked in and stood before him. “What message did you get?” Lucian asked him directly.“Our messenger told me that the people of Greenville have started to believe the fortune teller who told them that you are the king who will bring this kingdom to ruin. A pl
