Not My Sins
“The daughters of a man like that doesn’t deserve to live.” The crowd chattered angrily, they were ready to tear them apart. “The princesses of Elderslot should be put to death.” She raised her head slowly, she glanced at the current emperor of the Aubreun Empire, he wasn’t very much different from how she remembered him; he was only dressed in the clothes of the imperial palace and his name had changed. “Heads down you insolent witch!” One of the palace guards snapped before smacking her cheeks, her head snapped to the side and blood seeped from the cut. “The princesses of Elderslot should be put to death!” The crowd kept on chanting. “The tyranny of the duchy of Elderslot has come to an end his majesty should do us a favor and kill them all.” “Kill them all!” “Show no mercy!” “Off with their heads!” “Silence!” The Emperor yells and the crowd grew silent. “The house of Elderslot has indeed committed treason against the imperial family and the empire as a whole, but I assure you, the Duke of Elderslot and all those responsible has been executed.” Her heart hammered in her chest, and once again she dared to look up at him, he spoke with a dignified arrogance whilst radiating kingly aura; he was like a stranger. “My verdict is mercy, they shall be given their lives but their positions will be reduced to nothing.” The tears that well in her eyes, slipped and fell to her blooded dress. The Emperor turned in her direction as he spoke. “They shall be left with nothing,” their eyes met and his hardened immediately. “Nothing but shame and pain to clothe them.”
Come up
The Duke has gone back to his chambers, Rain sat down in the aftermath of their conversation. She felt a lot of things all at once anger, sadness, pain and fear. But most especially she felt fear, the Duke is like a natural disaster, he did not regard anybody.
The only thing he was concerned about was his own gain and his selfish interest, to him humans are nothing but tools including herself.
She doubted he has ever loved anybody, but also the duke's eyes held a certain sadness, he believed a myth and took it to heart but there was also something he was not telling her.
She laid back in her bed, trying to calm her nerves from the horror of her conversation.
"My lady," Marine said as she entered into the room her eyes were filled with tears, Rain's inquiring green eyes darted to the door and they widened as soon as they noticed Marine. "I've been so worried about you my lady, I thought you were going to die."
