PROLOUGE

Athena's P.O.V.

When is this hell gonna end?

“**Athena Elsizia von Bjorvell de Lacruse, for the crimes attempting murder against Noble Consort Beatrice and the prince or princess she carry, you are hereby sentenced to guillotine on 2nd day of the sixth month of the year!"

“Minister Venice! What is the meaning of this?! Milady---The Queen never did the things you accuse her of!!"

Don't protest any more Arielle. Don't cry for me. I'm sure His majesty will come..So...

But he didn't come. It's been weeks since they locked me up in this cell. I was a prisoner of the crime I never did. Normally as a Queen I'd be confined in a room, but a prison of all places? That vixen was the one who did this!

She always somehow coaxes his majesty to do what ever she wants, and now a child?! She deliberately made me push her! She knew his majesty would be enraged when his first child in his beloved consort would be in danger. And yet the idiot me fell into her trap!

“Your highness, it's time for the execution." a cold familiar voice said to me.

Weldon...? The knight my father assigned to guard and protect me...?

With force he dragged out of the cell and my whole body flinched with the noise and heat from the sun. It's been weeks since I had seen the light of the sun, but the Royal capital citizens that used to scream brightly with joy at the sight of their queen, now screamed with anguish with my sight.

My throat was dry and my body can't walk a single step independently so the Knight directly under the King dragged me into the guillotine. The massive size and the sharpness of the blade was enough to bring terror to me.

Am I gonna die? Without fulfilling a single duty as a wife? Without having to be a mother? Without laughing and bonding with my family? Without....?

I had many regrets and tears just won't stop dripping. As my neck was locked in the guillotine, like the flow of time was slow, I can see the people slowly screaming and I felt the slow vibration of the Blade coming down.

If time could stop, If time could be turned back, I want to at least be able to fulfill my remaining regrets, and to choose my own path to walk.

“Is that thee wishes?"

I heard a voice that was so divine to the point that my head cleared and forgot my problems.

“As thou I shalt do. In thee name of Adelaide, thy servant have heard. Amaranthine, my goddess, thee hear thy child."

“I wish to live again!" It was mystical and miraculous. A ring popped into my view, and then...the surrounding people slowly changes.

Is this time coming back?

“...dy! Mi....lady! MILADY!!" I was surprised with the loud yell of Arielle, my maid who should have...Wait--Is this a dream? But the memories were too real to be a dream, so just what...?

Did I come back into the past...?!

I hurriedly got up, and hastily searched for a mirror.

If this is really the past, If I really came back, then....

A small mirror entered my vision and I instictly grabbed it.

My face was of a child. My hands too, and....

“Arielle what...year it is?" My hands were shaking.

“**Pa, pardon? Ah, it's Year 20 of King Severuss' reign. It's year 321 of the Continental calendar, M'lady. Wait, why are you even asking these questions? Did you habe a nightmare?"

“I think I did...a long at that**."

I came back to the past!
