Chapter 1
Once upon a time...
There ruled an Emperor, who was as vicious and irresponsible as ever been
He had 3 Children
1st Born is as incompetent as his father who's mother is the Empress
2nd Born is a young man who is as quiet as a mouse even one look at him would let you think he isn't a prince at all, and is the son of a concubine
And the 3rd Born is a mischievous and rude of all he's the Crown Prince even though he's the son of a Queen
The Emperor has his favorite's and it is obviously the youngest
As soon as the oldest heard of this he quarrelled with the young prince in jealousy
While the 2nd stood in the corner and watched
Many years later at the age of 46 the Emperor had passed
And so the Crown Prince at the age 18 had become the Emperor
Years had passed The new Emperor had done a horrible job just as the late Emperor
He neglected his citizens and left for it to let the corrupted nobles handle it
He indulge himself with women and had 2 Children with the age 3 and 6
The 2nd prince had enough and planned a rebellion for years that the incompetent Emperor hadn't thought about
He charged the palace with thousands of Royal knights had betrayed the Emperor and was then beheaded along with the 1st Prince and the corrupt nobles
And at the age of 25 2nd Prince was now declared the winner and The Hero Emperor!
This victory wasn't done alone by the 2nd Prince, he had the help of a witty maid that was watching the Emperor's every move and helped to plan things
The both had fell in love and so the maid was officially announced as Empress
Years have gone by and the Empress gave birth to a beautiful princess
Who's features looked like the empress who had dark brown hair rosy pink lips and the eye color like her Father the Emperor who had light green eyes
The kingdome was overjoyed to hear such news, A princess was conceived by the Emperor and Empress's love and in the future would have yet another competent ruler.
Despite having a lot of burden, they did their jobs wisely and thoroughly
The people were in joy to have such kind rulers
Their kingdome was rising and put hope to the people
Everyone was happy...
Until The princess's 1st birthday, the God's have given their speech that left the King and Queen in despair
The God's said
"I the God shall cast a spell, as the princess turns at the age of 10 a sleeping spell shall be given"
The God said
"A spell?! On my daughter's 1st birthday you give such dreadful news"
The Emperor exclaimed
*Mutter Mutter*
The crowd whispered to each other
"Oh dear! A spell on the princess's 10th birthday?!"
A noble said
"What terrible news!"
The other worries
*Mutter mutter*
The crowd's can't be stopped as this was a shocking news to them too
They whispered everywhere all to talk about the God's spell
"Why shall my daughter bare this spell, can't you cast it on me?"
The Queen bargained
The Queen looked up at ceiling to where the God's voice is coming from
Clenching her hands as it was placed on her chest, shivering in worry
The Queen teared up as she didn't know what to do
"Why are we given this horrible news?"
The King asked
"Silence!"
All went silent to hear what the God has to say
"This spell was casted generations through your bloodline since they have been doing horrible, until now..."
The God said
"I have done a good job, my people are happy now that i'm the one sitting on this throne!"
The king said
"You have done a great job however, your ancestors sin still runs through you I have bo choice but to do this"
The God said
"But why didn't that happen to any of us siblings in the past?!"
The Emperor asked in anger
"This spell is only ever given to the woman who is of direct blood of your ancestor or to you, this was made because of the one who ruled this kingdome first Elena who committed a grave sin..."
The God explained
The crowd silenced and soon the voice of God has faded
Both the Empress and Emperor were devasted by this news however, they cannot undo what has already happened
And all they can do is watch their daughter grow until the age of 10 where she sleeps on her bed until someone kisses her with true love...

Celesteé Marrilyn Milano
Is the current princess's name, lying on her bed as her mother the Empress reads her a story
"Good night, my princess"
The Empress whispered, as she closes the book slowly
She went near Celesteé's forehead and gave a peck
"Mother?"
Celesteé said
"Yes, Cela?"
Empress answered
"What the story told, will it happen to Cela?"
Cela asked
The Empress just smiled and said
"You don't have to be so scared my love, it happen to me once but then I found my true love!"
The Empress said as she tries to comfort Cela
But this attempt wasn't successful as Cela wanted it to be truthful
The Empress worries and sighs
"*Sigh* Cela I hope you understand this runs through the royal families bloodline although it only happens to women, I want you to be prepared although it isn't scary it's just tiring to wait for someone"
The Empress said truthfully
The Empress reached for Cela's hand and caressed it gently
"That's why starting tomorrow I want you to have a royal etiquette until before your birthday, since after that you won't be having it anymore"
The Empress added
Cela contemplated but agreed in the end, Cela doesn't like it but was aware she couldn't do anything
"Mother, may I ask for one last time?"
Cela asked
The Empress looked at Cela with all ears
"What do you mean by tiring?"
Cela curiously asked
The Empress eyebrows furrowed
"It is because while your body is asleep, your mind isn't that is why everyday you'll feel hungry or feel thirsty, there is always servant with you as you sleep"
Empress answered truthfully
Cela felt worried
To only have your body asleep but not your mind, is a scary thought
"But Mother how can they like me if they don't know me fully?"
Cela asked again
The Empress chuckled and said
"I thought this will be your last question?"
"But mother please!"
Cela asked
"... We can only rely on love at first sight"
Empress answered
"But what if no one will truly love me?"
Cela asked again
"Then..."
The Empress paused, she turned to look at Cela who was asking
But then suddenly kissed her forehead and says
"Just hope that will never happen, ok?"
The Empress said
"Now go to sleep, it's past your bedtime already"
The Empress said as she stands up and walked towards the door
"Goodnight, Mother!"
Cela happily said
The Empress smiled back and said
"Goodnight, My dear Cela~"
The Empress closed the door gently, as Cela slept peacefully
