Pain, Heartbroken and Betrayals

"Good to see you here, my dear elder sister, ah no, our sacrificial pawn in the Assfrior family." Sophia said with a tainted voice behind her demure looks.

  Sophia Lynn rolled her eyes as she a bouquet of Peonies she saw the most disgusting thing in her whole life.

  "Do you think those students of yours really adore you huh? They're just felt pity on you, sis." 

  Yukie just went quiet and gave her a stern look, while Sophia Lynn sneered at her and tried to manipulate her. That's how terrible her younger sister is, she becomes a more spoiled rotten princess when King Harry dotes on her.

  Sophia Lynn saw her expression as she just gave her a silent treatment. The blonde-haired princess wasn't sure if she'll be happy or pissed just she went quiet.

"And Father was right, you bring nothing here in the kingdom but shame and disgrace. You end up socializing with those filthy rags who are as thick as two short planks."

  Sophia Lynn started rubbing salt on the fresh wounds as she started to speak ill of her students she suddenly snapped but she did not show it as she gave her a silent treatment.

  But Sophia, being a rude lady, added more salt to the derogatory.

  "What's the point of schooling and educating them if they're still homeless when they grow up? IT'S POINTLESS. They just ended up being a criminal by stealing treasures and money. And maybe being a harlot, they're eager to sell their bodies to the rich man and willing to spread their legs as they're willing to lose their dignity. That's what they get of being destitute and living in poverty because of how brainless they are."

  Sophia Lynn said while being so boastful and full of herself, making Yukie go near to her and slap her face.

  Sophia Lynn just stepped into a landmine. Raging and mad, the furious young princess boils her blood as she expresses her anger.

  While Yukie, on the other hand, gave her a deadly gaze as she insulted her student.

  "Sophia Lynn Assfrior, I am sorry to say this but you are a real shame in our family. Yes, Father loves and adores you but your ethics, morality, and dignity here is worse than a zero."

  Sophia touched her right cheek where Yukie slapped her. She was surprised that her older sister can fight back.

  "Giving you a silent treatment doesn't mean I am weak and afraid of you. I am not.

  I just know my limits, my boundaries, and my worth. Insult and belittling me Sophia Lynn, but not my dear students. Don't you even dare."

  Yukie threatened her younger sister as her ocean azure orbs were burning with a bright light piercing while she was staring at her deep soul like she was ready to steal her life in a nick of time.

  "How dare you, Yukie! I must tell Father about this so you'll be dead meat using his own power!"

  "Oh yeah, go tell him, Sophia! Why would I tremble at his power if he already sees me as bait and a worthless person. You seem to be the type of person who is not satisfied by the outcome, you just want them to suffer more. I never knew my sister was a psychopath princess."

  It was Sophia's turn to rub salt in her fresh wounds as she clenched her hands, and balls into a fist as her knuckles became pale white.

  She almost started to engage in a physical fight yet someone stopped her, and it pains Yukie's heart to see the figure, it was her first love, Prince Viktor.

  "That's enough, sweetie. Your beauty and grace are not worth fighting about a woman who'll disappear in our Kingdom so soon." 

  He said while looking at Yukie as her violet eyes showed how much he disgusted with her making Yukie was hurt. 

Sophia Lynn saw her reaction thus she wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to make her jealous since Prince Viktor and Princess Sophia Lynn will hold a marriage party next year.

  "Oh my darling, yes, you are right, why would I waste my time on the unrecognized princess that'll be good for nothing but as a sacrificial pawn?

And good thing you love me for real, Viktor, not hers."

  Prince Viktor gave Yukie a smirk, starting to spew spears of words that he'd stab her fragile glass heart.

  "Why would I like her? She is not as pretty as yours, and her? A community worker instead of a successful princess like yours?  I'd rather bury myself on the ground than be with her."

  Yukie already had enough as she got out of their sight and heard their mockery tones and chuckles and locked herself in her room.

  She threw herself in bed and let herself cry like there was no tomorrow. Now she knows why Viktor is being distant from her when they used to be so close and almost become a best friend.

  But their friendship is ruined because of her romantic feelings about him and he firmly rejects her and throwing sarcastic words that he'll humiliate and worsen her emotions and mental health.

  "Why did I fall in love with that evil jerk!" Yukie gritted her teeth as she exclaimed while burying her face in her soft pillow while she couldn't control her tears and feelings.

  Yukie started to get up and take a warm bath for an hour, letting herself be emotional and changed into comfortable sleepwear.

  Instead of she'll sleep, she starts packing her things since she'll leave the Kingdom and stay at Adkins.

She gathered her belongings and carefully packed them then put her luggage and boxes.

  She tried to distract herself until an aquamarine-color small box tied in a pearly white ribbon caught her attention.

  Curiosity was eating her alive as she unwrapped the gift, Yukie couldn't herself but cover her mouth as she remembered this gift. It came from her late mother giving her during her thirteenth birthday.

Her mother said she'd open the gift when she turned eighteen. The princess maiden is already twenty-five years old and it is her first time to open the present.

  She pulls out the necklace and it's beautiful. 

  A teardrop-shaped sapphire with small diamonds that patterns on the side of the surface of the teardrop-shaped necklace.

  The large mirror is facing in front of her bed, reflecting her features and she tried to wear the necklace.

  She felt like a different woman here and she loved the view of her silky smooth collar has a necklace wrapped around her neck.

  "I'll wear this to my wedding tomorrow evening."

******************

  "Wait? What did you say?!" King Alexander, on the other hand, is surprised to hear the news from his secretary as he receives news from Angelica Florencia.

  "Yes, your Majesty. It's unbelievable but that's how I find out. Princess Yukie will forced to end her career as a community worker and a teacher."

  King Alexander became speechless as his eyes went wide while sitting on his throne. He is in deep thought, now he understands why Yukie wrote a letter to him and they'll have a long serious conversation after their wedding ceremony ends.

  "May I know the reason why, Ms. Florencia? Just like I ordered you?" 

  King Alexander asks her as he becomes more authoritative and serious, the eerie sound of silence on the throne gives enough of a suspense thrill to Angelica, she knows that seeing this expression, her boss is disappointed.

  "According to the anonymous person when I dig an information about the Assfrior family, Princess Yukie left no choice but to follow his order cause she had to marry you, King Alexander as she went against marrying you.

  Princess Yukie dislikes arranged marriage and King Harry threatens to disown her in the Assfrior family thus Princess Yukie begged King Harry to let her teach the children until a while ago in exchange for marrying you, your Highness."

  Angelica stated her report without fail as she explained the information she said to King Alexander.

Now he felt bad for Yukie, maybe that's also the reason why she stayed at the Peony Flower Farm when she said she was depressed on their first meeting as he tried to analyze the situation.

  When King Alexander heard very clear like crystal clear, he had an idea that popped into his mind and this plan of his would have a big impact, on both the Kingdom of Adkins and Derora, especially her father, King Harry, and also, his bride and wife-to-be, Princess Yukie.

  His lips formed a sinister smirk. Angelica saw it and she completely knows nobody can stop him as he is scheming something.

  "Ms. Florencia." Said in a dominant voice.

  "Yes, your Majesty?"

  "I hereby give an order that all of the households here in Arison's palace have overtime for the preparation of mine and my bride's wedding.

  While I am doing something important, I'll summon you once again when my urgent business is done."

  King Alexander didn't wait for Angelica's reply as he left his throne chair and walked out of the room, Angelica stood and crouched and it kept repeatedly until her legs were calm from the sore muscles.

  "King Alexander, you slowly have an interest in your future wife. She was indeed beautiful and kind, your Highness."

  Angelica giggled as she remembered King Alexander slowly changed his behavior and she knew his act was not a care for the benefits of marriage alliances, but a care for a certain person that he is willing to take a risk to protect his loved ones.

  "You show your overprotective side without realizing it, your Highness, and it's cute for me."

  As she walks out of the room, even though Angelica is a professional secretary, she had her ridiculous side during the King's absence and they knew that as she prepared a wok and a ladle she got from the kitchen and kept beating the wok with a lively melody sound and voice.

  "ALL HAIL AND LONG LIVE HOUSEHOLDS OF ARISON'S PALACE! KING ALEXANDER SPENCER ARISON GAVE THE ORDER TO HAVE OVERTIME IN PREPARATION FOR THEIR WEDDING WITH PRINCESS YUKIE MAE ASSFRIOR!

  COME ON EVERYBODY!

  RISE AND SHINE EVERYONE IF YOU SLEEP PEACEFULLY!

  I REPEAT!"

  Angelica keeps doing her job as she acts like an annoying pirated announcer as she is the walking loudspeaker in the palace.

  She keeps repeating her antics and shenanigans and she won't stop doing this until they're all present and start her job.

  King Alexander rode his black horse and went to the capital city of Nadinia, Lueur City as he stood in front of the said city Monarchy Office.

  Even though it's already evening, the Knights are working here and see King Alexander as they kneel before him.

  Before he speaks, he stares at the millions of stars and a bright crescent moon, he mutters that only he can hear alone.

  "I am sorry for this, Yukie."
