The Vin Castle
Emperor Jorald Vin's Throne Room.
"Do you want to tell me who the girl in Diana's room is?" A stern voice dropped into the throne room.
"It's Diana."
The questioning figure reveals to be a blonde beauty in a royal blue gown, coupled with a yellow waistband. Her striking blue eyes looked shocked at the call of the name; Diana.
"Diana... I thought we were over this.", she matched the front of the person she was speaking to. Revealing to be the same man that had brought Diana back to her room.
Emperor Jorald Vin, he was busy going through old pictures of him and someone else.
"We were, but I found her on the riverbanks of Valdam."
"You must be bluffing.", the lady opposed. " Diana is dead."
Jorald gave a stern look which made her resign her footsteps.
"I do not care about your opinion dear sister. We both are aware that you have never liked Diana in the slightest. So I am not surprised."
" Whether you are surprised or not brother. That lady in there isn't Diana. For all we know she might even be an imposter! sent by our enemies."
" She isn't an imposter!.", Jorald barked at her at that moment, putting his sister in her place. " There were a lot of marks on her body. That proves she was molested by some impudent sperm.", He moved round her. "My only regret was that I wasn't there to save her. "
" But we can't be sure---"
" End of Discussion Angelica. Diana disappeared for a long time and we claimed her dead. Now the Goddess has shone her grace upon us and given her back to me."
" Bu--"
" Leave."
"I am not leaving!You abandoned Lola on your first night for some shallow reason only to come back with some imposter!."
Jorald turned and dropped the pictures he was holding earlier. "We both know I don't love Lola, I never did and never will. Father forced me to marry her, doesn't mean I will accept her.", He looks at her with annoyance. " Even if the Goddess didn't bring us together again, I will still not accept Lola. You can go and tell her that."
" It's been five years, Jorald. And all of the sudden, you find someone looking like her, doesn't it bother you??? we all saw how she died. She died in that fire, that's a clear---"
"SILENCE!", Jorald shouted. His voice reverberated across the throne room.
"Brother."
"You will call Me Emperor Jorald Vin and nothing else!.", Jorald warned, pointing his fingers at her.
Angelica sighed, she bowed. " I am sorry, Emperor Jorald Vin. I was only trying to say---"
" Leave at once.", Jorald abruptly uttered, shutting her up in her sentence.
Unable to argue with Jorald about the matter, Angelica leaves the throne room without hesitation as she was still angered by her brother's act.

Meanwhile. . .
"I am not going to have a bath!.", Diana retorted. Loretta and five other maidens were present , regardless, Diana wasn't going to listen.
"Please my Queen!."
"I said! no!. I am not going anywhere with either of you."
Diana refused to have her bath and she wasn't going to let this maidens get the better of her. It was like they wanted to force her but they were giving her an alternative.
"You will let me go! this instant or I will make you all regret keeping me here.", She threatened with the thoughts of homing her fangs and claws.
Jorald wasn't far when he heard a loud chatter from her room's direction. "What's going on now."He changed his plans and walked up to her room.
"Since I am the Queen, as you all claim, why can't you listen to a simple request!."
"Ma'am this is how you have always made my morning stressful and unpleasant!."
'I don't even recall any of that.', Diana maintained a position that made the maiden flinch backwards. She was going to ram them.
Jorald was this close when they suddenly scattered with Diana coming through. She made a tough backflip and landed on her two feet, only for her to actually have landed in front of Jorald.

(Jorald’s POV)
I was unmoved by her movements. She was amazing in every manner, the one thing that moved me was her beauty.
Her heart thumped heavily, she must have been frightened when she saw me.
This would be the third time I am seeing her after five years. I wonder what she's thinking. I wonder if she still feels the same I feel for her.
I was totally unaware that my hands had already held on to her waist. I wanted to let go but I couldn't, fate has brought me so close after five years that I never want to let go.
But, I guess she has other things in mind.
She shrugged off my hands and backed away from me.
"What's going on here?", I acted accordingly and faced Loretta.
"The Queen refuses to have her bath."
"I am not your Queen."
"Zara. . . what's wrong?" I approached her but she moved backwards and she saw me coming.
"I am not Zara."Her words were striking. What did she mean? did she change her name over the years we weren't together?
I know I lied, I shouldn't have. I broke her heart, I watched her die in the fire and couldn't do anything to stop it. Had an extramarital affair. . . I know I am wrong.
But did she have to change her name entirely?
"Zara. . ."
"I said , don't call me that. What's the matter with you?"
"What do you mean? That's your name. If there's something wrong then you can tell me.", I uttered with sincere honesty.
"Then get out of my way."
" Zara, come off it. Ever since I found you at the riverbank, you have been behaving strangely.",
" Are you deaf!.", She retaliated, attempting to home her werewolf traits. "I said! Don't call me Zara, I am not Zara! nor your Queen! I am . . .
