1 Prologue: In my next life, I swear I will . . .

Huff. . . Huff. . .

I panted loudly as I kept running as fast as I could.

Please let me live. . . I've done nothing wrong, please save me. . .

I didn't notice someone overtake me that it caught me off guard when that person tackled me.

I struggle as hard as I could, screaming my lungs out crying for help.

But I was stopped with a punch on my face, ot was so hard that it almost cave my whole face in. I couldn't do anything but let the tears flow down my face as I tried my best to catch my breath.

"You b****, you think you could run from me?"

"Pwbeash jus le m o." I tried to say.

He spitted on my face and scoffed. "Ha? Let you go? After the bulls*** you put me through?"

I didn't get to speak as he slapped my face.

"If you had just followed what I had said, you would have remained ignorant and safe but no, you have to stick your nose where it didn't belong now you're a liability not only to the Linneaus but it will damage Lorelei's and My reputation as well." He said. " We can't have that, especially when we already have our first son on the way."

He must have noticed my reaction to the news. " That's right, we're having a son. Nicole gave me something you couldn't give. An Heir to my throne!"

Anger boiled beneath my skin. "I saved your life, in exchange I almost lost mine. Because I save your life in exchange I lost the ability to carry a child are you saying that it's my fault I couldn't give you an Heir? Shabaan you're too much!"

"Blaming you would do nothing, the only repentance you could do now is die." He declared as he is pulling out a knife and placing it in my hand.

I tried to struggle but he was much stronger than me. "I'll slit you throat and I will tell the people that you killed yourself in repentance for betraying Linneaus Kingdom to your father the King of Arcene Kingdom."

"My father will not believe I killed myself neither with your lies."

"That's the thing! He would not believe me and that would mean only one thing. Tell me dear Tatyana do you know what it means?"

My eyes widen in realization but I didn't speak.

"That's right, WAR!" He exclaimed, "Your father would declare war and the poor little me who was betrayed by my wife and princess of the invading kingdom. Who do you think the alliance will put their trust to? Me! And when the time comes that your father is dead and no one to claim the Arcene throne and by laws that I am your husband disregarding that you 'betrayed' me I will be King of both Linneaus and Arcene enough power and resources to Destroy Mávros Drákos Empire and I will build my own Empire with I as the Emperor and My beloved Lorelei as my Empress."

He paused for a moment and raised my hand that was holding a knife at my throat. "Shame if you hadn't caught up with my plans you would have been made a Queen Consort but alas it's time to part ways. Any last words Tanya?"

I wanted to scream and fight back but he was stronger and I couldn't channel any mana to my weak body. "If . . . I'm given the chance . . . In my next life. . . I swear I will . . ."

"Sorry to cut your dramatics but you're out of time." He said, with no remorse slitted my throat.

I slowly choked with my blood and died.

'I swear I will make your death painful.' as my last thoughts.

As I slowly slip into the void, I woke up.
