1 A Melancholy Story's Beginning

[Darkness...]

This world is a cruel place.

[Pain...]

A place where light does not exist.

[Sorrow...]

A place where happiness remains but a fleeting dream.

This was the conclusion that Iris came to after living in this place for one lifetime.

[One Lifetime]

In front of her now was the huge lie that she lived. The life that she wasted.

"Empress Iris Silcia, on the account of committing various unspeakable crimes and lèse-majesté, has incurred the wrath of the heavens and shall be executed."

Execution was the repayment she got for all she did for them...

All their lies and deciets, she truly was an idiot to have believed them. And only when her life is ending, did she realize it. Now that she has a sword to her neck, it was too late...

Emperor: "Commence with the execution."

"Ha ha ha!" She laughed madly and stared at the Emperor and the women next to him.

Never again!

Never again will she be trampled by them!

Or fall for their traps!

She will make them pay!

She will....

Have her revenge!
