Prologue

Rosaline Spades is the eldest daughter of the great general.

Her first time seeing the crown prince, Rowel Ace, was on her first time going into the palace with her father. She fell in love with him instantly. He later saved her once when she fell off her horse during the royal hunt so she felt he had noticed her existence, but he didn't care a bit about her. He had only saved her because she was the sister of the person he had his eyes on. On the last day of the royal hunt during the closing feast, she snuck out of the banquet and waited for him in front of his tent despite the strange looks the guards and servants who passed by, had given her. After hours had past she decided to accept that he wasn't coming and was on her way back to her tent when she saw the back of the crowned prince from afar and ran towards his direction. As she got closer she heard the voice of a woman and decides to hide and listen in on their conversation. The woman tries to persuade the prince that she was not interested in being with him and that he should give up on her before he causes her any trouble. Rosaline got upset at the fact that the crown prince was proposing to a lady that wasn't she and the said lady was rejecting him. Roseline later saw the face of the lady the prince was talking to and was shocked to know that it was her younger sister Gracia Spades who was born to her father's concubine. She had never had any relationship with her younger sister whether good or bad. Gracia's mother was more loved and given more attention than the Rosaline's mother that was the true wife of the general. Rosaline didn't care since her mother had never cared as she and her children were given their full rights and respect. However, jealousy set into the heart of Rosaline Spade as she realized that not only the crown prince but other princes and lords were in love with Gracia for her beauty, calm and reserved temperament. Rosaline went on to commit vicious acts like framing and blackmailing her sister as well as embarrassing her in public events, most of which she failed at because someone was there to either save her or stop the evil plan before they could happen. Rosaline was later tagged as a villainess and no man or woman in the kingdom wanted to cross paths with her. Even her father stopped showing her love or giving her any sort of attention. After the old emperor died and the crown prince took over as the new emperor he made a decree to marry Gracia Spades. This didn't sit well with Rosaline so she decided to do everything in her power to stop the marriage, even going as far as to poison her sister so she would be too sick to even attend her own wedding. After Rowel the new emperor investigated and found out what she had done he orders for Rosaline to be beheaded, however Gracia pleaded with him to give her a lighter punishment. Rowel agreed and decided to rather strip her of her title and send her to become a concubine of a very old and corrupt governor, far away from the imperial city. There she was always locked up and treated worse than a servant as well as being tormented until she couldn't take it anymore. She managed to steal some of the governor's treasures and tries to run away with a horse at night, however the governor found out in time and sent some guards to chase after her. While being chased through the forest by the guards that night, a landslide occurs and she got caught up in it. She clutched on to the bag of treasures and closed her eyes tight as falling dirty and stones knock her out. Before she loses consciousness she caught a glimpse of something in the bag of treasures glowing in different colors like a rainbow.

When Rosaline slowly regained consciousness, she strained to open her eyes forcing them to adjust to the bright sunlight. Now completely awake, she realized that she's laying down on the ground and elderly man is poking at her with a stick. He was scared, thinking she was a dead person because she was bleeding from her head and covered in dirt. Rosaline turns and her eyes land on the strange looking old man which startles her making her scream. The man calms her down and tells her to leave and go to the hospital but she could hardly understand a thing of what he was saying. She staggered and got up before looked around with her eyes wide in shock. On every corner were strangely tall buildings she had never seen before.
