1 Prologue

She looked at the 4 men who stood in front of her. Why were they so cruel towards her. The only people in her head right now was her two friend, from which 1 was dead.

Now she was going to be executed because she tried poisoned her brother's favourite sister and the other one's love of his life? That was ridiculous. She didn't poison her. She was framed. She did think about poisoning her sister but she didn't. In the last moment she stopped.

Daniel, her brother, walked in front of her. "Please brother! I didn't try to posion Susan!" she cried with her hands tied. She was bleeding from the corner of her lower lips. Her blue eyes had dark circles under them. Her, once soft and fair, skin was now full of wounds. Her light pink hair, which used to be long shine, was now short and dull. It were as if whole colour out of her face was drained out.

Some guards would try to take advantage of her while she was at the jail. She was drugged and to stay awake she would cut her thighs from the broken piece of glass she managed to get before getting caught.

"Oppa! Why are you doing this?" she asked with pain in her voice.

"Oppa?" Leonardo, the 2nd prince and Susan's lover sneered at her. "You let that thing called you Oppa?" Xavier, the Commander of The Imperial Knight or The 2nd Prince's right hand man, asked Daniel.

"Let her be. Why are you doing this to her?" Aron, The 2nd Duke of the Empire, asked with pity in his tone. Aron was once Irene's best friend but after he went to attend the Academy, he changed.

"This thing tried to poison my only sister. She has no right to call me Oppa." Daniel asked with resentment.

Irene eyes filled with tears. She wanted to cry but she didn't want to show them that she was weak.

"Oppa!" someone called from back. The 4 men turned and saw Susan with her 2 friends. She looked weak. "Susan!" Daniel and Leonard called.

The 3 girls walked towards Irene. "I want to talk to Eonnie." Susan said. "alone." she added.

The 4 men hesitated. "Don't worry, we are here." Tiffany, one of her friend and Leonardo's step-sister assured. The 4 back from there and stood at a distance and watched over them.

"Eonni!" Susan called. Irene eyes lit up. 'Is she here to help me' she thought.

"You know it makes me so happy to see you this way." she added.

'What?' Irene looked confused at her. "Ever since I first saw you. I hated you." Susan said bitterly. "Infact we 4 hated you and your friends so we did something."

Irene eyes widened. "I hated how anyone could be more beautiful than me." Tiffany said, the twin sister of Leonardo said.

"So we just thought of killing you." Caitlin said.

"You know how you couldn't attend the age coming beacuse you became sick. That was beacuse before the Age coming ceremony I put some rotten eggs in your food. Since then, everytime you were sick or something bad happened to you, I did it." Susan said evilly.

"Your friend Alexandra didn't commit a suicide. We killed her and made everyone think it was a suicide and right now Anastasia is taking care of your last friend Gabriella's dead body." Caitlin said.

"You all are sick." Irene said full of resentment. "Go to hell." she said.

Susan smiled she slowly untied her hands and took out a glass piece and cut her cheek. Irene's eyes widened

'Is she insane?'

"Ah!" She screamed. The 4 men ran towards her. "What happened?" Daniel asked. "I was just trying to help her. I know it's wrong but then all of a sudden she attacked me with a piece of glass." Susan cried.

Leonardo looked at Xavier and gave a nod. He covered Susan's eyes just when Irene head was no part of her body.
