*clang-clang* chain dragging to its ends. This is how my life would end. My father Duke Matiaz John Danvual, The Danvual Family was the sincere Noble who follow the Imperial family and they are the all here with me dragging the heavy chain to our death.

The man who standing at the top of balcony with the women he choose to be with looking down, who else. It was I, Samantha Clarisel Danvual.

A priest who serve the Gods standing and walk at the center were crowd were waiting for my trial, no actually my own end.

"Samantha Clarisel Danvual, do you accept your faith?"

He asked if I accept such miserable faith!

"Ha! haha haha.... I, who gave everything to you and this country! Even my own life! I was given you (I look at him) my love and support as the daughter of the Duke Danvual! but what did I get to you! Your Majesty!"

I sarcastically call him Majesty, The crown prince, the person I love, the person who I gave everything he wants even my father's favor for the thrown he could get but what does the man I thought that I, who hallucinating to think he does have feelings for me! just thinking that every fiber of my being shaking in anger and hatred to the who now a King.

"Nonsense Samantha Clarisel Danvual! I never such any desire to you! not a single bit! But who would have thought that you women dare to kill my soon to be Queen! and more over than that soon to be a mother of our child! "

"What"

What did he say? soon to be a mother? Who? My mind was blank I look at his side which that women stood beside him looking at me with such a smirk on her face! My world was ceumble

"They trap me! They have known each long! She knew that I have a feelings to the prince and this! This happened because of my stupidity!"

My mind starting to hurt but then a women in a black cloak suddenly showed up.

"What is it your majesty saying that this women have never even carrying your child!"

I look at her in my surprise it was

"Maise! Why did you came back!"

Maise my only servant who trust me and see me as a older sister now she's in front of me. The crowd started to talking, murmuring. It was true I was also carrying his Majesty's child but does he even care?

"Nonsense! She and I had never done that!"

"You are a peace of crap! Crown prince?! *pweh* That title should not be yours if my lady didn't choose you to be her fiancee! You are just nothing!"

Maine was a nice person but seeing her side like this I blame myself for what just happen to her. The prince looks about to be explode but then Maine look at him. I don't know what does Maine look like but seeing the prince stern and scared face Maine did something.

"Now your 'Majesty' Do you know the clan of Gaideiol?"

I was stunt and break my mind went blank as I looking at the corpse of a person dear to me then I heard scream from my side the strike of sword and swinging as if they killed a monster my father my mother and all the people from the house of Danvual slaughter without hearing them plea. Then the last person was my sister-in-law Grabiella!

"Stop!"

Even though my body is tired, weak and loosing to much blood.

"Why! WHY?! I gave everything you wanted. Why?! "

I look and saw my sister-in-law dead body I scream and kneel my body won't listen to me anymore. I don't have any more strength I have notice they drag me. A weak women who lost a child, a family and even my dignity I don't have any more strength before they kill me that women went down and whisper in my ears.

Slowly get off to my bed and straight to the mirror.

"This is?"

"Miss! Is there something wrong, miss? I'll call the master and madam please wait.."

She run off... Then this is not a dream after all. my knees just give in and I knelt down then I cried I cried and cried that I was thankful and even greatful that I was given the Gods a second chance to be alive.

"Sammy!"

(This time the narrator)

Samantha had calm herself. She notice one person is not around.

"Where is Big Brother?"

Her Father smile at her as he cares her.

"Your Brother were at the palace for the Knight attendant have you forgotten, my dear?"

She look at his father and remember. That's right... How come I don't remember that.?  That what she thought. She look at his father and smile.

"I am fine now father thank you..."

 Even if I said that I am not okay at all... sigh... for some reason because of my breakdown earlier I do forget sometimes. I was spoiled by my parents and they do what I asked. It seems I have realize it by now that not all I could get with just my parents power. 

"Something wrong dear?"

Samantha's Mother asked as she look at her and smile.

"No, Mother I am fine."

"Wife, Maybe Sammy is just overwhelmed because she just got out from danger, It is best if we should get to eat? Am I right Sam?"

Samantha smile as she nod and agree for the fact she was truly hungry. After the breakfast the couple went out to do every noble do a meeting for the court household dukes. It is everywhere of the dukedom to pass there strategist nor the plan for the event for the empire. Samantha wants to stay out after long she thought she dream.

"How come I, Samantha Clarisel Danvual would think that was just a dream. Never, I would never thought it was just a dream. My family, my life even my own dignity I was being treated a fool but now it won't ever happen again. Ever!"

"What was that?"

Samantha was surprised to hear a voice she turn to see his brother with his friend.

"B-brother?"

He smile as he pat Samantha's head.

"Yes, who do you think I would be?"

Samantha doesn't even care if this is a illusion nor a dream because the one thing she knew she miss his own big brother, she stood and run toward to her brother. Her brother Henry Marcus Danvual was acknowledge as genius because he were the first young man who became part of the white tiger knighthood more likely the first young general. Henry who just receive a letter a week ago about his sister might not make it to be alive because she was a high fever and she could not even eat nor drink without any assistant to help her.

"Big brother..."

"*smile* I am here now, dear sister."

After a while Samantha calm herself after what she did she couldn't even look in the eyes of her brother. Henry who was quiet glancing at her notice what her expression was.

"Don't tell me that my dear sister is embarrass what just happen earlier?"

"*blush* Please brother don't tease me... *ahem* Why did you come home? I thought you will be back here around the end of this month?"

"I ju- I mean we just finish the knight exam so the school gave me a permission to have a rest until the result are coming."

He finish explain then he had almost forgot.

"I haven't introduced you to my companion He's-"

"Greeting to you lady Samantha, I am Carlos Raj Gastros. I am one of your elder brother's friend."

Samantha stare at Sir Gastros as she remembered.

"(thought) Right. He is the unwanted child of Count Metrios first wife and because of it the Count Family of Gastros adopted him but he. He will die. "

"Miss? Little Miss?"

Samantha snap as she remembered she keep staring at him. As embarrassing moment she turn her head as trying not to be found out but that won't happened though because

"My dear sister? If you're shy what happened please hide your red ear it is visible after all."

Samantha turn herself around at it is both of her face and her ears were hiding behind her hair.

"*chuckle* Am I bothering you two boys teasing my daughter?"

The Duchess, Mistress Samuela show up.

"Mother!"

"It been awhile Mother."

"Greeting Duchess Samuela."

Mistress Samuela giggle as she walk toward to her daughter.

"Yes, it was a hard time for you boys. I guess both of you might stay for dinner?"

Mistress Samuela smile at them. Henry sadly he shook his head and smile sadly at his mother.

"To tell you the truth the position for the general were past down to me mother and the thing is I came back home is for sale for a advice to you and father. "

Samuela smile at him as she turn her head looking up were their father work.

"We all have destined to choose the path either which we supposed to be faith and destined we should choose but our will."

Samantha was quiet when she understood now.

"*thoughts* Mother was right I won't choose between those two because my purpose is to change my faith. Died in the hands of the man I thought whom I share my life and burden. And destined to die. I Will change that! because that's the purpose why I came back.

Mother persuade brother to stay but brother Carlos is going back to the knighthood house.

"Brother why won't you let brother Carlos stay?"

"*smile* Raj always do that well he is also second in me which he look to our brothers even new recruit knights."

"I see.."

I did not see if he smile nor grin but I just felt the warm big hand of my brother. We both went into our mother's room. *knock-knock-knock*

"Come in."

Coming from mother, Mother, she is weak when it comes, there were gathering from every dukedom and she get headache and even collapse. She hate people only to get closer to her because the king and my father were closes brother (they are not real brother it is only they call each other because they were close that's all) now looking at her she is really pale."

"Mother, don't push yourself. Father will be home soon."

"Mother would you like some tea?"

Mother look at me and smile.

"Yes, dear if you may, I would like to have some tea."

Mother always smile but looking at her I feel bad. Leaving the room and went straight to the kitchen Maine, who following me suddenly grab my hand.

"Miss? Why are you going in the kitchen? You can always ask me."

"*chuckle* Silly Maine. It is not I don't trust you nor I won't asked favor but the tea that I want is no one know about it."

"Then Miss, what kind of tea is your liking then?"

"*smile* southern tea."

Maine follow me to the kitchen the people in the kitchen was surprise to see their miss walking around in the kitchen and even held a pot but I don't mind them all I think is mother's tea to relief her headache in my first life their was from southern people arrive at the castle as guest, I was regaila at the time, lady in waiting be the crown prince wife and the next empress. Dealing to the southern I have lock myself in the study room to understand, even learn their life and language and the tea is the only that I love the most. They were praise in different kingdom and empire because of their unique taste and crafts. After finishing brewing the tea I left with a tray in my hands Maine keep pestering me to stay a little. I didn't know nor what was I heard but

"You can't Father! Why were you agree to do this! Sam just recovered and mostly doesn't want to leave the house nor stepping the same land to those hyprocite people!"

"I don't have a choice Henry it was the King suggest to all young lady to visit the castle for the chance to meet the two princes I do not have a choice neither would I react only your uncle want to change the topic as soon it is about the two princes. *sigh* I do not have a choice."

Father, Mother and brother in sorry but I won't run away nor I would meet his highness the crown prince. I barge in.

"Sammy!"

"Samantha..."

"Sam.."

I know the moment I went in I knew they have the hint about me, who was standing behind the door.

"Mother, Father and Brother... I'll go."

Father's POV.

Sam just woke up and I have to attend the assembly as the way it was. My wife comes with me to attend the ladies tea time as the always they did.

"My lord, we have arrive."

"Thank you, Fredrick."

"Fredrick why don't you stay at the coaches dine and have a break."

"I'll do that Duchess Fiona. Thank you."

I took my wife hand as she walk down slowly while hold the other hand her gown to see her feet while going down. We both walk toward the house of archduke, who also my cousin she is Archduchess Cecil Von Druke and his husband the Archduke Gabriel Lenord Von Druke.

"Fiona~!!"

Ah... She's here...

"*sigh*"

"*chuckle*"

"dear??"

"Dear husband, Cecil is your cousin and beside we haven't seen after Sam got sick."

"*sigh* I know dear it just that. I suddenly feel lonely."

"Geez! Matiaz, I have seen you every council and I haven't seen Fiona for so long beside you have promise me Matiaz that when Fiona here she'll stay with me."

Cecil drag my wife without me saying a word back at her *sigh* I felt a hand on my shoulder and it was Cecil husband Gabriel.

"Good noon to you Gabriel."

"And to you as well. It seems my wife took your wife again?"

"*sigh* I just let it of this time. Fiona need a break after all what happened to our daughter."

"Speaking of your daughter? How is she?"

"It was a miracle Gabriel my daughter survive and now she's eating and walking a little after all she stayed in bed for so long."

"in happy to hear that. Cecil was also worried she suddenly run off when the clock bell at 6."

"What? Why did she that? And where is she going at that time? "

"Our coachman says Cecil went to church to pray I thought she did that for Samantha be well as soon as possible and maybe for her to see your wife Duchess Fiona, of course *chuckle*"

I was surprise to hear that. My daughter Samantha she is our blessing after all because she is the last gift to is by my aunt, Cecil's mother.

"Thank you"

I don't what the archduke expression was but I feel deeply move and shed in tears a little. Fiona and I knew without them we knew we might giving up hope for Sam but we didn't.

"Thank you..."

I whispered. I only felt a hand patting my back but I never knew someone from the council made a plot even the archduke did not know.
