"Then the Emperor wasted money on his investment"

Where did everything go wrong?

"Monique, relative of the Emperor, wants to confiscate all his family's property"

Why am I here?

"For all the sins he has committed, like the attempt to..."

What did I do wrong?

"... She will be beheaded for her crimes"

The only sin I committed was to love you.

Flash

I saw the moment when the executioner's axe rose into the sky and sholt into the sunlight.

The executioner was smiling.

Like for the first time, as if he were really happy, he was laughing to finally throw someone like me.

"Haa Ha Ha Ha, " laughed even more.

In a lonely world that revolved around becoming the wife of the future emperor, you were my only light: my salvation. I thought you were the reason I was born.

I've comforted myself that there will be a day when you'll finally be interested in me. I was glad to think that maybe it might be useful to you.

However, it seems I was just an obstacle to you.

Thump

The axe falls.

My consciousness begins to gradually fade, when a tear falls out of my eye. If I could ever repeat this life again... I... Never... I love you.

The Castinian empire was the only empire on the continent and contained a history of nearly a thousand years.

The empire, which has been going up and down under the rule of several empires, was in the midst of a renaissance, thanks to the election of the 33rd Emperor: Mirkang Rushana Castina.

The emperor had it all: a great personality, a good character and a great set of skills. However, the only downside of Emperor Mirkang, who was perfect in all fields, was that he did not have an heir to the throne.

The royal imperial family was known for its pure bloodline for generations, and if the emperor could not provide an heir to the throne, the country was in danger of becoming a bloodbath with its successor battles.

As the emperor cared more about the future successor, the nobles became more disturbed with their greed, a few years later, their heir Lubris Kamaluddin Shana Kastinaga was born.

The empire rejoiced in the news of the new heir, so it led the heir to be called: "He who will give glory to a new morning."

However, the birth of the heir came with another problem, since Lubris was born very late, there was no woman of the nobility who was of a similar age to the heir to which he was engaged.

Under the Imperial Law, potential emperatrics had to be made up of daughters of noble families who had the status of marquistas and superiors. However, when Lubris was born, the youngest woman who had met the requirements was now ten years old.

Also, strange as it may seem, none of the noble families had a daughter born after her birth. In the end, there was a debate among the nobles, whether the Imperial Law should be amended for this strange situation.

Fortunately a year later, Aristia La Monique was born to parents whose condition was that of a duke. She had golden eyes with exquisite silver hair and was set aside for the heir as soon as she was born.

From the moment I was born, they began to discipline me as the future Empress.

Immediately after the prince turned twenty-one, Emperor Mirkang unfortunately died. After that event, shortly thereafter, Lubris was crowned as the 34th emperor of the Castinian empire.

However, next to the emperor was not the married girl with golden eyes and silver hair, but a girl with black hair and black eyes.

It was that mysterious girl who suddenly appeared in the imperial palace when the prince was twenty-one, while Aristia was sixteen.

The prophecy has been fulfilled that the oracle had declared before the birth of Aristia, that everyone has forgotten, that a mysterious girl will appear, as she has fallen from the heavens.

The day the empire celebrated the coronation of the new emperor, which Aristia eagerly awaited, as he imagined that he would stand next to the emperor as the crowd greeted and cheered for her, was ruined.

Aristia was forced to stand behind the emperor, while the mysterious black-haired girl took her place, and she predicted that someday later, she would have to bow to the girl who had essentially replaced her.

Today was the day she was destined to begin her role as wife 2 for the emperor
