4 Chapter:2

I was walking in the garden of the palace. It was dark but the moon and the stars were shining while I was walking between the trees in the garden. Suddenly, a strange wind came to me from the left side. The strange thing is that I remember there was a wall blocking this side but it was gone, how did it disappear? Because of my curiosity, I went to the older garden. I never saw it in the palace before and it seemed to be forgotten, since the chairs are full of dust and dried leaves. I walked deeper to the garden, then I almost fell because of the book I stepped in without notice. I looked at that book closely and picked it up, it was strange book with a strange cover, plus; it had no title. It was empty, with dark green and blue shades. I opened the first page, the title of it was Joker. I started to think what is that book all about, then I decided to take it with me and read it since it was thrown here in this forgotten place. After that, I went back to the party and the book was in my hand. As usual, Luna is holding the crown prince's arm and laughing at the view, which made me feel disgusted as I wanted to throw up. Then I notice my brother Christian was there, looking at the couple with sadness and anger, I went to him and whispered softly.

Priscilla: "It would be better to forget about Luna, she will never be yours. As he will never be mine..."

Then I left without saying any other word. My brother was looking at me from behind, shocked, from what I said. Before it used to be hard for me to admit that fact, but now it's not. when I held that book, something inside of me has changed, as I don't want to look at those couple again. Instead, I wanted to check what's inside the book. I had this feeling that my life will change because of the book in my hand. I went to the carriage and I was gazing at the book through the whole trip.

Priscilla: "Why do I feel like you will be my friend."

I took deep sigh and said to the book.

Priscilla:" I think I'm starting to lose my mind because I'm talking to a book. Maybe because I am not with the man that I've truly loved, from the bottom of my heart.

Then I arrived at my estate and went directly to my room, then Lucia came wanted to help me change my clothes, but I was so tired, That I jumped into my bed

Lucia: "Duchess don't jump over the bed like that, hurry let me change your clothes".

Priscilla:" Oh Please Lucia it was long hard day I just want to sleep".

Lucia:" But Duchess .."

Priscilla: "Don't try Lucia Please leave the room I want to sleep.."

Lucia looked at me in a worried way.

Lucia: "Yes madam, then have a good night".

Then she left and closed the door behind her. I slept deeply while the book was up my hand. Later that night, I dreamt I was standing in a place light all around me. In front of me was a man standing, giving me his back. I could see his green hair flying and shinning from the light. I was wondering who is that person but my heart was pounding as I wanted to touch him, when I went to him I woke up with a strong, thunder voice. My heart was beating fast, I looked over the window I found the sky light in color and it was raining hard with strong thunder, and I found myself sleeping in my outfit dress, I got up and looked at the book, when I wanted to open it Lucia knocked the door and opened saying:

Lucia: "Duchess are you awake? Good you are awake! now please it's bathing time since yesterday you've slept."

Then she looked with funny ANGRY, SAD expression

Lucia: "AND THAT MADE ME SAD SEEEING MY BEAUTIFULL DUCHESS TIRED LIKE THAT, IS IT WAS BECAUSE OF THAT B*TCH LUNA "

I laughed softly then stood from my bed saying:

Priscilla: "Okay okay relax I'm coming with you".

Then I left the book in the bed and went with her. She gave me a relaxing bath and she was talking all time. I looked at her and I loved that I have such a great maid, Lucia is special to me. She cares about me and loves me, although she is five years younger than me. I admit, I can never find someone who loves me and cares about me more than she does, not even my cold parents, brother and everyone surrounds me … After I finished my bath, I got dressed and went down to have breakfast with my cold-blooded family. My father sat in the middle, not caring about anyone. He only cares about the family's reputation. He used to hate me and punish me a lot because of my bad reputation in the empire; and my mom is worst than my dad, because she was forced to marry for political reasons. She belongs to Da Seleva family, her family forced her to marry my dad for the politics noble's business and view. My mom used to hit me a lot when I was little, lastly, brother… no need to say anything about him since everyone knows how much he loves me… Normally, all the family members meet in breakfast and dinner time. It's when the time where you can actually consider us a real family. No one speaks or talk during breakfast or dinner, it's just like a duty to do and then leave. After I finished my breakfast I went quietly to my room as usual but this time, when I went to my room something new was there as it was someone waiting for me in my table. The small table which is next to the small sofa of my bedroom. When I looked at the table, I found the book I took yesterday from the garden since the bed is clean. I'm sure Lucia moved it here. However; since it's a rainy day and I can't go to the garden; I sat in the sofa, took the book and when I opened the first page a strange wind blew into my face I looked around the window it was closed. Nevertheless, I did not pay so much attention and then I started to read the title it was "JOKER". I opened the second page and it was the introduction.
