Prologue

"Believe me! I'm innocent!" she pleaded, she was accused of murdering the Imperial princess, Princess Caliana.

She was scorned by the people, they despise her, thinking of her as a murderer, who sucks blood to become youthful through the years.

She's not like those people in their fantasies. She's far different from them, unlike villains who killed people for their own gain, she helped people.

But things came to an end... When someone accused her of murder.

Together with those six families, that are under custody due to their numerous crimes, are dragged until they reached the dungeon. Where they are going to stay their nights before the execution.

Throughout the dungeon, Zeianna was silent and out of the blue. She can't heal herself unlike before, when she's in rage.

She can't even defend herself using a sword. She's a captain of the Imperial guard, despite being a female.

Her birthday will be next week, she was supposed to wake up by the next day in a comfy bed, talk with the maids, listen to the nobles gossip, and training.

How did everything came to an end?

She looked at the bars in her cell, in a corner, thinking if the life she experienced was great.

It wasn't of course.

Knowing that her father was the one who poisoned the crown princess.

But why she was accused? Of course, her father did that. For her mother.

She never met her mother, not once in her lifetime, she believe in a lie that her mother escaped her responsibility as a noblewoman, and as a mother to her.

Because of her mother's death, she never experienced affection from her father, she trained, strived more, learn the etiquette, no matter if they were hard or not, just to please her father and prove to him that she can rule the duchy if her father passed away.

But nothing went well.

She was arranged marriage to a crown prince, crown prince Ylium, the older brother of crown princess Caliana.

At first it was perfect, like two lovers in a novel, she expected it to be the same as the romance novel, happy ending.

The day she fell hard to him, things changed, he got cruel, hurting her feelings emotionally and psychological.

Chasing other girls, and cheating in front of her eyes, she didn't expect herself to cry, since she was born an iron women.

She broke up with him, him being in denial about the cheating issue, she can't handle this relationship especially she have a cheater fiance.

From that day on, she dedicate herself as a captain of the Imperial guards, training the guards properly, and dedicating herself to the crown princess.

She and the princess became friends, Caliana recognised that her Imperial captain was the ex-fiancée of her brother.

But it doesn't seem to be the way to tarnished the two's friendship.

Aside of being the captain, she became the personal guard of the Princess, she also had encounters with the crown prince, but it was only for business and for the security of the Palace.

The crown prince is being a determined man, he slayed a live animal for her, made her the most expensive and delicious tea, baked her favorite cake, gave her flowers, telling the gardeners to plant her favorite flowers while he decorated her room with such luxury, yet none of them happens.

Until a noble from another empire struck her heart with grace, he is known to be a great businessman, a duke in his 20s.

It is said that he had a wide connections, he made successful businesses, and has a sister who is in charge of his other business and he is in charge of the majority of his business.

They fell in love, but they had different business, she had to face war sooner so she had to go back to her home.

Two weeks before the war, she met with the crown princess for the last time, dressing her most extravagant dress, they have their last tea time together since she doesn't know if this is her last time, or day, being alive.

Not until she saw the princess in a different rage, seizures and she's foaming in her mouth.

She screamed, pleading for help, as long as she could, she had to stop herself from tempting to use her powers to heal her to prevent being tortured.

She hold the teacup that Caliana used. The maids rushed onto her, holding the said teacup.

The maids accused her of killing the princess, she was defending herself that she did not kill her.

None of them believed her, they even told the crown prince to come over. He saw his siblings dying on her ex-fiancée's arms.

While Zeianna still holding the teacup, asking what did they put onto it.

"You killed my sister, don't you" he said, clenching his Jaws while holding the lady's neckline of her dress.

"I didn't, I swear, I saw her having seizures" she cried, a sign of begging to believe in her.

"You're holding her teacup, do you think that I am a fool?" he answered, glaring eyes staring at her.

She shook her head, crying.

Begging to believe her, just this once.

He cried, seeing her sister slowly dying, he put her down, rashly.

She may cried, but her whole system was struck by a lightning when her father accused her of killing the princess.

"You're not contented by your emotions" her father said to her, emotionless. "you're killed the princess for your dark desires" he smirked in disgust while staring at her.

"Father, I didn't killed the—"

"Silence" he said sharply. Silence filled the room, but the eyes didn't.

Zeianna's eyes were full of fear, and misery. Why is she accused of murdering her?

"Since the day you were born, you brought nothing but shame in this family!" he screamed, shivers sending her down to her spine.

"You are a disgrace! Can't you see that our name was fallen? And now, you're putting ourselves in a disdain!" he put his fist in a table, roaring a bang in his office.

"I'm sorry" she whispered, looking at her father's angry face.

"I'm so disappointed in you" he said, coldly.

He got out of the office, pushing her behind, as the door closed, she was left behind, crying to his words.

"Wake up!" the guards shouted, she woke up due to their shouts, she didn't even lift her body when she whined due to the guards forcing to lift her body up.

As they got up, the sun is rising in the horizon, as the guillotine was standing, in front of this was a pail.

The people are gathering like sardines in a can, people screaming for justice echoes the air, as she saw everyone, glaring at her.

"She's the person who killed the crown princess, right?"

"She deserves to die"

"She's a monster disguised as a human!"

"All of them are shame in this empire!"

The people are in a rally, telling everyone to die, with leaving no head behind.

"You should've thanked us instead, if it wasn't because of us, all of us will be—" marquees Eric stopped talking when his head rolled down in the pail.

It was gore, his head in a pail, blood prints in the wood, coloring its path red.

It all ended when they put her head on the head bottom, putting the head top down.

People are staring at her. Whispers and stabbing words filled the environment as tears running down on her eyes.

"I didn't killed the princess, believe me just once—" her words stopped when her head cut down.

Even though she's dead, her mind is still conscious. She heard an enchanting voice, so alluring and beautiful, like a goddess.

"What? Get up" the unknown voice snarled, as the people are cheering because of the greedy nobles death.

Her eyes blinked, as she slowly dying, she wished to be reincarnated, so that she can change their fate.

She woke up, holding her neck. "lady Zeianna!" the maid called her.

She looked at the maid, it's her. She's alive...
