5 What Fate Wanted

I have been so tired for most of my life. Being a failure, a liar, a coward, you name it. Im sure I'm supposed to be dead, then why does this feeling feels familiar, that of blankets on top of me, little by little my senses returned, i could hear muffled voices but couldn't quite understand much. i openedy eyes, my whole body ached, but thankfully the room I was in didn't had any bright lights, however little light there was did hurt, but passed away quickly. I felt people running towards me, but I was too confused to mind.

I looked around, there were so many people around me, not even a single face i could recongnize. Their features varied from happiness to joy. Who the hell let strangers enter my room? Last thing I remmebered was being stabbed, so why was i being let alone in a room with strangers who dressed weirdly? Where were my parents? Did they not know yet? How worried must they be!

Someone was hugging me, for a brieft second it felt nice, the foreign feeling of warmness of being hugged so tenderly, who was this guy? I looked up to find the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen, belonging to such a pretty face, i pushed him away and backed to a corner of my bed, as soon as I had done that he looked at me with hurt and concern in his eyes, while what I assumed to be a medic rushed to my side.

"Calm down my Lady calm down." I heard, but there were too many people talking at once. It was overwhelming.

"All of you! Get out! Doctor! I want a phone, I need to call my parents!" I yelled. The guy tried coming near me again but I was panicking, i stood and felt myselt too light, i looked down and touched my belly, there was none, i frowned, I was sure I was overwheight, and where did those boobs come from? I had been a flattie all my life. Just how long was I asleep? Was I in a coma? Is that why I lost weight?

"Honey honey please calm down-" I looked furious at the guy, who the hell did he think he was.

"I want to see my parents! Get the hell away from me!" I yelled, two more doctors came in one talked to the guy while the other came to help the first one restrain me to the bed. My cheeks felt warm. I realized tears of frustration were coming out. My only weakness, stupid tears go away.

"Honey your parents passed away years ago." Said the guy with a pained expression. I threw what seemed to be a box made of stone at him.

"Lies! Who the fck are you even, get the hell out!" I said, i felt something prick my arm but I didn't mind it. My mind couldn't get over the idea of what the guy had just said. My parents couldn't be dead, no they just couldn't be.

Energy left my body and I saw the darkness come. So peaceful. Hopefully they dont wake me up anymore.

The next time I woke up I was calmer. Thankfully the room seemed to be empty except for the guy I had seen earlier. I sat up slowly and saw him sleeping on the side of the bed with his head resting in my hand while his while body sat on the floor. I slowly pulled my hand away, pretty looks didn't meant anything, I didn't know where I was and I needed to get a phone to call my parents. But there wasn't even a decent lamp around the room, much less an actual phone. I tried to move away without waking the guy but I failed because as soon as I tried to he was fully awake.

"You're awake!" He said, I simply stared at him, if I had been kidnapped and I acted out it would surely end badly, this house was full of psychos, maybe if I played along I could find a chance to escape later on.

"I'm not feeling well, please don't come near me." I ended up saying. He looked hurt and rejected at hearing my statement but he slowly nodded his head and stepped back a couple of steps.

"May I know what happened to me? I'm very confused right now." I said slowly, afraid that my questions would make the man suspicious, his eyes widened but he calmed himself and sat at a stool not far from the bed I was in.

"What's my name?" He asked without looking at me in the eye, I narrowed my eyes, surely they couldn't expect me to know that crap right after they kidnapped me right? I stayed silent, anything I said wrong could end up badly for me. He finally looked at my eyes and a single tear fell from his left eye.

"I see." He said softly and turned his head to look out at the balcony that was on the opposite side of where I was. I looked too, because my heart couldn't seem to handle seeing a stranger cry. Stupid feelings.

The night outside looked peaceful and quiet, I studied the room, wondering if he would even answer me. Its not as if he actually would, but something told me eventually would, if i gave him time. I turned to look at him and he seemed deep in thought, most likely thinking up the lie he would tell me to get me on his side. I turned away again, why did my kidnapper happen to remeind me of him? Maybe they drugged me, yea that was the most logical reason.

"A year ago, you were supposed to rescue my niece, that had been kidnapped by the Northen Empire, I pleaded you not to go, but you had made up your mind. You are our best knight and assassin, anyone else would had a 99% chance of failure. You went out on your own, as risky as it was I knew that you were our best chance." He sighed and closed his eyes,

"You infiltrated as a low ranking maid, and and little by little investigated on the whereabouts of my niece. You set up your plan and finally ended with the custody of her. The rescue was a success right until you crossed the border, the Emperor had found out at the end and ordered his whole army to chase you, he didn't know that you had my niece, his informants told him you planned to escape with jewels you had stolen in an attempt to get rid of you, the fact that you were actually outside of the Empire when it happened made it more believable. After realizing they were after you, you told my niece to ride back on her own whike you stayed behund to distract them. The emperor was furious, and ordered for you to be jailed and tortured in his private dungeons. After my niece arrived, she told us everything and the country finally decided to go to war. Going to war for a niece was not justifiable, and the other nations would had quickly allied with the Northen Emperor, but after you got caught, we could finally wage war, but when we finally won, and were able to find you, you were already on the verge of death. You lasted 5months in a coma, and woke up yesterday. Our Imperial Doctor told us that the coma was not because of the beating, but because of a head trauma, and warned us it most likely had side effects. The fact that you don't let me come near and that you don't know my name, or that you thought your parents were still alive proves that the head trauma caused you memory loss." He finished and stayed silent not looking at me.

I must admit, his story is anctually plausable, except for the fact that there are no empires on the 21st century with the name he had given me. But hey, he tried.

"If what you said is true, why would you declare war just for a knight, even if I'm your best Knight, it doesn't justifie putting a whole Empire at risk." I said in a mocking tone. At that he actually did looked up at me, his blue eyes reflecting the storm and despair that he seemed to be feeling right now. I tried to ignore that and hurried him before he could think of another plausable lie.

"Well?" I asked, after a few seoconds that seemed an eternity, his eyes cleared and neutral look came to his face.

"Because you're my wife." He said, i scoffed and for a second hurt flashed through his eyes again before his emotions cleared.

"I am Aiden, Emperor of the East and South Empire, and you are Nora, Empress of both Empires, active Military head and hidden Shadow Assassin under my reign." I burst out laughing. This was by far the most ridiculous story I had ever heard. Empires knight assassins empress emperor, this guy surely was creative.

"Okay I give up, where is the camera? This has gone long enough, thanks for saving me but I can't stay here to amuse you all." I stood and ignored the feeling of dizziness that blurred my eyes. I had expected him to try and stop me, or even question me but he didn't and soon I found myself wandering the halls of the enormous place I was. People who passed by bowed to me and seemed concerned but I ignored them all. All I need is to get the hell out of here, find a phone, and call my parents to end this ridiculous situation.
