An eye for an eye & Revenge for Revenge...
"Lord Thornburg. Never overstep your boundaries~" I order him.
"What makes you think that?" another voice cut my voice.
Everyone's gazes turn around. My eyes widen as I see an unexpected face standing behind the trees. This wasn't supposed to happen!
***
Behind the Tree was no other than the Crown Prince himself. His cold icy blue eyes stare at me, sending shivers down my spine.
He wasn't supposed to be here! In my previous life... this didn't happen.
What should I do?
I am a warrior. I remind myself as I clench my fist. Haha... what am I supposed to do? That's right- finish my comments.
Should I retort and try to explain myself as not guilty?
No... that seems like what a useless little bitch would do. I need to stand up for my rights and my dignity. If I had to... I will challenge the Crown Prince right here and right now.
Suddenly all of the girls stood up from their seats baffled at the sight of the Crown Prince, the one who they were waiting for hours to show up.
"Y-Your Majesty!" all of the girls, except me stood up from their seats and curtsied.
I slowly stood up and did a small bow, and quickly sat back down.
The Prince's eyes turn up against me as he asks it again:
"What makes you think that?"
This Bastard needs to hear the same excuse? I could feel the dull pain on my spine. The way he threw me against the walls and left me to die.
"Think about what? I believe I just explained my reasons..." I say without any expression. My poker face lurked beneath me.
"Why should Thornburg be insulted? Shouldn't I be the one to be blamed? Why-"
"No. Lord Thornburg rudely addressed me... and Your Majesty... I do not respect those who challenge my dignity." I snap back. The Prince's eyes widen when he realizes that I cut him off.
Hmph...
I know that I am challenging my own dignity by challenging the real enemy.
Hohoho... does he think he could defeat me?
The Prince sharply looks at Thornburg and asks: "Did you disrespect her?"
My eyes widened when he asks Thornburg that question. HUH?
Did this really happen? Is he asking Thornburg if he disrespecting me? I clenched my fists. No... after all this time- you finally seem to care right?
But I still won't forgive you- you cheating bastard...
I swear on my life that I will make you suffer and drag you down to hell with me.
Tears burned on my eyes when I saw Thornburg and Prince Ares talking back at each other:
"Ares~ I didn't mean..."
"That doesn't mean you could disrespect others..."
"S-sorry but she was disrespecting you," Thornburg apologized.
So that cheating bastard finally notices, doesn't he? But how many years have I been waiting to be noticed? Twelve painful years, filled with regret, hate, and betrayal.
I remembered my last memories, what I had promised myself that day:
'I will never forgive him for hurting my father!'
I rubbed my temples to stop getting emotional.
Ha... time to take revenge... I gritted my teeth as I fixed my postures. And then coldly ignored them both. The other girls stared back at each other.
"I am truly sorry, Lady Crest for disrespecting you," Lord Thornburg said as he stood up and bowed.
The girls' eyes widened... so did mines.
Is he apologizing? Is this the same bastard's friend who pricked me with needles that day? What the hell?
"Fine... I can forgive you..." I say as I stood up from my chair and perfectly curtsied. I lifted the hem of my skirt and with a perfect posture respected him:
"My Lord Thornburg..."
Hopefully... this is the way I drag you to hell. But still... I haven't gotten revenge for you to kill me.
And...
I looked at Crown Prince Ares who was coldly staring at me.
And still... I haven't forgiven that bastard yet. I will finish my mission.
"And you to as well, Your Majesty," I say with a snicker on my voice as I curtsy at last.
