The fate of our story chapter 1

“Promise me you will marry me?!” a boy heartily told a girl under the starry night. “I will” the girl looked into his ocean blue eyes and smiled.

Was that a lie? Was that the truth? Is everything around me just a lie?

“Please, don’t touch me Violette! You disgust me” a boy pulled his hand out and glared at Violette. “Stop doing this Leondre!” Violette screamed back and was bursting into tears. It was a windy night. Violette’s silver hair flew along her face. The wind stopped and Leondre looked at her deep purple eyes with his cold ocean eyes. The glare Leondre gave was terrible, Violette thought. “Look, you mean nothing to me. I love your sister, Charlotte. So please stop interrupting us” Leondre said in a cold tone. No, this can’t be? The moment when you said “I love her” it feels like my world is falling apart, my heart is beating too fast, i feel dizzy, Violette thought while trembling. “But I'm still your fiance!” Violette was desperate. It was a hopeless moment, nothing will change. “In papers, yes. But don’t you dare to think that I will treat you like one”. Leondre stepped away and was leaving, “I will never love you and I will never marry you. When your mother murdered my mom, that moment I had nothing to do with you”. Violette’s legs can no longer bear. The moment when Violette fell down, sitting alone staring at the ground. She can’t hold her tears anymore. WHY? Violette was thinking. This wasn’t supposed to be like this. My mom never murdered Mary the Queen. They were like sisters, my mom would never do it! Violette barely got any breath while crying. It happened four years ago when someone murdered Mary the Queen of England, Leondre’s mother. It wasn’t certainly my mom. Everyone blamed her because they thought my mom loved Claude the King of England and was jealous so that’s why she murdered Mary. But that’s nonsense! After that my mom was poisoned and died, I don't know who did it. But I will take revenge. I was only ten, after my mom’s death my dad started to ignore me and gave all his attention to my step-sister Charlotte. The maids started to ignore me and my mother-in-law Bethany and her daughter Charlotte tricked me all the time. Charlotte was an innocent little girl in everyone’s eyes, but she wanted to take everything from me, and eventually she took my fiance. After that I was all alone in this miserable world, no one cared about me. I had to protect myself and be a good princess, a fiance of the next emperor Leondre Carleton and a good daughter after all. I thought if I started sword wielding, I could protect myself. Also I started to learn about medicinal herbs so I don’t have to depend on anyone. That all happened four years ago, Violette thought. She was still sitting on the ground after a long time. Violette wiped her tears and got up, her legs were still weak. From now on, I will never trust people, I will never love anyone, not even myself. The moment when she was thinking about love, Leondre’s words went through her head “I will never love you”. It hurted but Violette had to be strong. She looked up, it was a beautiful starry night while the moonlight was only light. She smiled and closed her eyes, a tear went through her cheek and fell from her face. Violette promised it was her last tear.
