The cold stone floor presed against my cheek.Blood slowly spread beneath my body,warm at first, then painfully cold .Each breath felt heavier than the last,as if death itself was sitting on my chest.
So...this is how my life ends.
I laughed weakly.
What a joke .
I had been twenty eight years old.
A woman who gave up everything for love.
A woman who trusted the wrong person
My cousin ,whom I treated like a sister.
My fiance, who swore eternal loyalty.
The stood not far away, their shadow overlapping under the dim candlelight.
Don't blame us, "my cousin said softly, her lips curved in a gentle smile. "You were always too naive ".my fiance didn't even look at me. "If you had stayed obedient, this wouldn't have happened. "
Obedient.....
That word hurt more than the knife still lodged in my back.
Tears blurred my vision as memories.
Rushed through my mind.I remember The letters I never sent
The warning I ignored. And ane face...
A face I had pushed away with my own hands.
The Crown Prince.
The main everyone feared for his cold heart.yet the only one who had ever tried to protect me In my previous life . I misunderstood him. I avoided him. I even publicly rejected his proposal,choosing another man instead.
How foolish
If I could go back...
If I had one more chance..
"I won't make the same mistakes again. "I whispered, my voice trembling.
The candle flickered.
Darkness swallowed my vision.
And then -
My heart stopped
"Miss wake up!"
A sharp voice cut through the Darkness i gasped and opened my eyes.
Bright sunlight poured in through silk curtains.The scent of fresh tea filled the air. My body felt light. Too light.
I slowly raised my trembling hands. They were clean. Uninjured young.
My heart pounded wildly as I turned my head. A bronze mirror reflected a familiar yet unfamiliar face. Smoth skin.
Innocent eyes....
I froze.
This face belonged to me....
When I was twenty years old.
On the table besides my bed lay a neatly folder academy uniform. Next to it, a calendar.
Year:The 3rd year of Emperor Aldric's reign
The exact year..
Before everything went wrong.
Before betrayal.
Before death
Before I rejected him.
I clenched my fists, my eyes burning with determination.
"This time ,"I whispered my lips slowly Curling into a smile,
"I will rewrite my fate ".
And the first person I will face...
Is the Crown Prince.
