YOU ARE NOT TOUCHING A SINGLE HAIR ON HER HEAD!!

"You say he clutched his heart when you mentioned his name?"

"Yes! He went like this....!" Anastasia said evidently proving she wasn't telling lies!

*Silence*

"Oh come on! Stop your lie stories! You think you can just poison my brother and tell us stories then we'll let you go? NOT UNDER HENRIETTA'S WATCH! GUARDS!... EXECUTE HER!!!". Lysander's sister commanded and the guards obeyed without delay as everyone watched on with despise!

"Heyy, I am telling you the truth I did nothing to him. I cannot do anything to him!!!" Anastasia cried out as she was being dragged out of her room headed to the dark eerie dungeon Lysander had brought her to when he first kidnapped her! She was thrown into the cold dark and dusty room and yelped when her back landed on the hard floor!

"We'll get you after preparing everything!" The guard said and left.Anastasia cried her eyes out as to how scared she was and how cold and dark the place looked!

"Why the heck was I born a princess? It's suffocating!!! I just want to live a normal life for once!!!" Anastasia wept some more!

"Anastasia?" She heard a familiar voice call out to her!

"Huh? Who's there?" Anastasia asked startled.

"You don't recognize your sister's voice anymore?"

"Xe....Xenia?" Anastasia said shocked dragging herself closer to the direction of the sound.

"Anastasia!!!"

"Xenia!!!!? How...how come you are here? How long have you been here? Is home fine? Where's Mother and Casimir? How's father? How's Rivendelle?"

"Woah! Slow down a bit on the questions! I missed you so much, infact we missed you so much! Rivendelle is not in good state right now and I am sure it's gotten much worse!" Xenia explained to her sister who was in another separate dungeon facing her's.

"How?....how are you here?"

"Isn't it obvious that...Lys... that mysterious man brought me here!"

"When exactly?"

"Like two or three days now?"

'And he didn't tell me? Oh come on how am I supposed to expect he would tell me? He is my enemy! And I hate him forever! For causing my plight! For hurting me and my family and Rivendelle! I wish I could hurt him back a millionfold!' Anastasia said with bitterness in her tone.

"Ana? How were you brought here?" Xenia asked.

"To be honest?.... I...I don't know! You? How are you here?" Anastasia asked her sister!!

"Father sent us to Windstorm! I, mother and Casimir on our way that man came in and killed our Carrosse rider and kidnapped us all!"

"You.... you mean... mother might be here?"

"Yes and Casimir!"

Anastasia went into a temporary mode of shock and blankness! Her mother whom she had been longing for, for so long was in the same place with her? While she was busy eating lunch, her mother was locked up somewhere in this place? While she was busy having and dozing off in baths, her mother laid in the same position unreleased? But before she could talk more, the huge metallic cell lock creaked open!

Anastasia felt someone enter into her ward! And then hands grabbed her upper arms up!

"Ouch!Hey! Xenia help me....!"

"Ana!"

But what was there to do? Anastasia was blindfolded and taken outside! She looked a mess and the whole kingdom of Edgeville who were invited to watch the princess's execution were cheering! Anastasia would be executed together with offenders! She was arranged at the last line of the long queue who awaited their execution in the hot sunny afternoon.

Anastasia's heart was raging non-stop against her ribcage and she feared she might die even before she would die! Anastasia was blindfolded much to the delight of Henrietta! First princess of Edgeville! Anastasia's hair was messy and damp from sweat in the hot sun! Her milky white skin was burning red and her white clothes turned into brown! Anastasia heard as screams of pain in agony was heard as the sound of metal hit metal and the crowd went crazy!!!!

Anastasia was next as she felt the crowd go CRAZIERRRRRR than they ever did! She was brought forward and awaited as she heard the sharpened of swords!

She was brought coldly to her knees and her mother screamed in sight of that! Yes, the wicked Henrietta had demanded her mother tied up to watch the daughter she had laboured into birth sliced to death!

The sword was raised and a loud silence washed over the crowd in anticipation! But as if Anastasia knew she was about to be sliced through, she shouted the word.....

"WAIT!!!"

Everywhere was silent! The executioner turned his gaze to The princess who nodded for him to wait a bit!Anastasia sensing her plea had been taken into consideration continued.....

"I want to prove my inno....innocence once more!" She said bravely as voices of disapproval erupted from the angry crowd! But Henrietta ordered silence and wanted to hear the last words of the dying princess!

"I did not do anything to your king! After I had my food, he came into my room and then after some talks, I pleaded with him to let me go but I guess the mistake I did was mentioning his name! He told me I couldn't address him by his name! But as angry as I was I did again and that was when he clutched his heart area! It's the truth! There's nothing I can do to hurt him , please listen to me!" Anastasia pleaded.

"Listen to you? You and your entire kingdom treated Lysander like he was nothing and needed no mercy and now you want mercy? it's only you in the entire world that can do something to hurt Lysander! Do you think we do not know who you are? You think we do not know you are the "Aster"? Which takes hundreds of years for the rebirth of someone like you? You might have poisoned his food with the co operation of Thyra!! I have seen you with her before! Chitty-chatting!!!!" Princess Henrietta spoke out and the crowd went even wayy crazier!

" 'Aster'? Rebirth??Thyra??? Thyra is alive?"

"No time to waste kill her and hand me her head! The Aster's blood can make us more powerful she shrieked evilly with laughter!

"YOU ARE NOT TOUCHING A SINGLE HAIR ON HER HEAD!" A loud voice was heard and everyone turned into the direction of the voice!!!!!!!!!!!
