...(Note - Please skip this part, if you feel uneasy due to harsh language and violence. There is no need to push yourself to read, if you feel uncomfortable!)...

She opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar environment. She tried to understood where she was, and what happened till the last memory.

It must be prison! There were covered with dust and the few corners covered with spider web, she heard some whispers and heard few footsteps was coming towards her. She instantly shut her eyes. The sound of footstep stopped...

She could hear a young boy's voice... It was somehow familiar... Who could it be? Aye?! Her mind was completely with full of doubts and questions.

But, the voice came closer... "Sister"

A bell rang! It's her own younger brother!

She felt strange that her own brother was completely different, like a total stranger!

Her brother gaze was cold. Her instincts alerts that it is dangerous, if she sat there.

"Brother! " she shouted out with helplessly. " You can't do this! I am your sister!”

She was tied with a strong nylon rope which she was chained, unable to move her hands, her eyes were void blank. The whip came smashing on her bare skin, several men were watching this sight, even her own maids . What can she do? She was fully hopeless.

" huh? Why can't I?” “You are nothing but a useless one! You should be grateful. That, you can be a help of our family!”

These words, ached at her core of her heart. What grave mistake she has done?

His mouth widened enough to be his teeth, his eyes sparkled as it shows how pleasure to see his own half- blood sister is being tortured by several of his men. He smirked at the sight.

She felt, it was a being tortured in hell. She thought, it might be her mistake not to spend time with his brother at childhood but it wasn't! when a creak of knock caught their attention.

Her brother murmured,“ Here it comes our real heroine!”

The brown chestnut hair color, the jet black eyes, it was clementine.

Her anger came into rage, “What the hell, you are doing ? You deceived my brother. "

Clementine smiled, “Eh? I deceived him? You must be overthinking. I didn't do anything, I just offered a helping hand to him, your so- called brother readily agreed to it”

" You are lying, you are lying! He won't do anything to me unless you brainwashed him! “

" Are you really a stupid or... you can't accept the reality of your brother's doing ? “

This shocked her and her face turned pail and her whole body felt numb as if the final end of her life.

" Do you who poisoned crown princess's drink at the last banquet? You might be confused at the moment, to be truth, it was your own brother but I didn't thought you would easily take the bait of being a viscous woman..."

"And did you remember the pain that you suffered at your chest, you would locked down in your room, cornering yourself to not anyone worry especially your... Brother and... Father, am I right?”

“ How did you...? “

“ Oh, my! You even didn't suspect the soup, your brother delivered was poisoned”.

After hearing this, she understood that everyone was only with her to snatch the opportunity use her.

Clementine interrupted her thoughts, "Opps! My bad, I forgot to introduce another member who took part in the welcome of hell. Please don't be shy, Dion “

Clementine grip her chin and forced her to look into her eyes," So... How do you feel about your beloved charming, Dion that you had a crush for 8 years?"

Dion twisted his eyes with fury and disgusted eyes, uttered scornfully, " You, with a lowly life of yours, no one will take a look at you but you need to thankful because of me, you had the time to spend with the men that I send you ".

These words shattered her heart into million pieces, her mind was blank.

...Who would have thought, those who smiled at her and almost cried when there was a small cut would turn their back and stab at the root?...

She turned her face to brother and uttered

"Why? Why? Did I do something wrong? What about father? He would be worry if you keep me here for so long?”

New character, Clementine

l

“Pfft! You are really amusing! Let me tell you, your father is in the court to prepare for your presence as a sinner in the public execution.”

“Why? What did I do wrong?” her feeble voice was trembling... Her dear brother and the crush she had were enjoying themselves....

...Her eyes were sink with tears, rolled down her red, soft chicks. She was abandoned by the ones, she trusted the most......

...Something was bursting deep down inside her heart.... She didn't know, when the tables turned, she didn't know how scary the world was, she didn't know why her father never showed affection to her, she didn't know why her own brother held grudge against her......

“Because you are u-n-f-o-r-t-u-n-a-t-e !”

“You should not get attention from royal

family, you should not have stepped into the banquet, you should not have got those things.... YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE BORN FIRST IN THIS WORLD !"

A pierce of sharp blade, went through her upper abdomen, causing a flood of red blood.

A faint smile on her face were seen, she murmured, “ I really ... regret on my decision... I should not have been...”

“Phew! That bitch finally came to an end ... Now, what should we do with this mess?”her brother asked.

"We would tell, she broke through the prison and fled away in the direction towards Northern Mountain ! Isn't right? Clementine " Dion said.

Clementine threw the dagger and turned around. Her eyes were in tears, she answered, “Are you two satisfied now?”

Dion approached and reached out his hand and patted," Yeah, you did a great job! But you should not have told our plans but its okay she is dead, and I can finally lay my hand one of the ninth celestial treasure...

...“I wish, if I had another chance to change my fate, then I would take that opportunity to reveal the truth behind my death... If I could...”...

Those were the words, she was utterly in her mind.

“My lady... My lady... Wake up!”

Someone was calling her... A familiar voice...

She felt a cozy where she was, a soft, fluffy, warm place, the bright, warm light accompanying with the light fragrance of Juliet rose and camelia...This made her, to not to wake up instead to slumber deep down.

But...

"My lady?" she opened her eyes, to settle down her curiosity, her vision was slightly blurry... She was shocked! There she saw, Mary!

She hugged her tight out of joy and repeated her name again and again as if she want to confirm, she was real.

Mary was confused by the sudden hug she gave and said with a confuse tone, “My lady?”

...She could no longer hold her tears, her heart felt like " if it is a dream then, I don't want to wake up **or if it is afterlife then I want to stay here..."...

But somehow , she felt strange. When did Mary grown so tall? She was unaware about her situation**.

"My lady, I think, you can let me go now, or else it is going to be late."...
