Chapter 1 - The Betrayal
Lucia opened her eyes and saw a beautiful lady with scarlet hair. She still cannot get to use it. Because three days before she took the girl's body, she's Lucia De Lumia, the Archmage of the
Luvis Empire.
Her job is to keep people safe from demons and monsters. Truthfully, it was a very easy job for her. She effortlessly kills every enemy with a combination of a powerful spell that she creates herself.
Beside her, there was a knight who helped her in every fight and that was the crown prince Richard. She saw how the prince sympathized with the people and how he protected them. She knows that Crown Prince cares about her. That's what made her fall in love with the prince.
After they had won the battle against the evil king Alastair, she confessed her feelings to the prince. And the prince also admitted how he felt about her and they become a lover. He also promised to marry her after he stepped on the throne. Because there were plenty of people against him to be the Emperor. He needs to have a continuous fight with the nobles.
Lucia embraces the prince and promises to assist him to ascend the throne. That night, she learned who was opposed to her prince. Same time she make a move and blindly kill all those people without mercy. She becomes a bloodthirsty tyrant who kills mercilessly for anyone who disobeys or who stands against the prince.
At last, the day of the coronation arrives, and the prince rises to the throne and becomes the new emperor of the Luvis Empire. She was so happy that they were going to be married. Her eyes are full of tears. Those were tears of happiness.
The Archbishop finally announced the Empress's name. She checked her appearance and motivate herself because she was so nervous. The Archbishop announces the name. "Saint Sixtine Jannson" and a beautiful lady come forth and give a happy message to everyone.
Everything turned dark for her. She felt a betrayal. Why does something like that happen? She becomes wicked towards his enemy to protect his position, she has committed reprehensible acts for him. Why did he have to do it? She asks herself a lot of questions. She even violated her principle. Then they announced the union of both, Imperial Holy Land and Luvis Empire.
Only rage ran towards her. She needs to be avenged. "Richard!" she cries out loud in his name. And everyone was staring at her. Richard looked at her with a sorry face. Why would he look at me that way? She wondered. It hurts her to see his face like this. But there's no way of dispelling her anger at him.
She flew high and began to summon the most powerful, vengeful spirit of the evil king. After killing the evil king, she took her soul and turned it into her follower with the contract. This is the f*******n lost magic, using this magic you have to sacrifice your half-soul to form a contract. The sky grew darker and a big hole appeared in sky. Then the evil king goes out. She wants to destroy everything.
Richard called out to her "Lucia" she looked where Richard is. "I'm sorry, I know this hurts you, but forgive me. I know how much you love people, don't let them get involved, you've looked out for them your whole life. I still love you and I always will, but this marriage will help our empire. I don't know how to say this till this day comes. Please be my second queen, I will love you and only you," said Richard with a restless face.
She came down and got close to Richard. She hugged him and asked for forgiveness, she just doesn't know what she is doing, and promised him that everything would be back to normal. She lifted her hands and started dispelling the magic that was calling. But when the magic summons dissipates. Somebody stabbed her with the sword when she found out who, the Empress is.
"You've been fooled! Everything was according to the plan we made, you're just a tool that needed to be removed. Farewell Archmage! said Sistine, smiling foolishly.
Before everything went black, she saw Richard kissing Sixtine while the tears fell to his eyes. Why he needs to cry when a whole thing is just an act. I can't understand it. And I regret every single thing about him.
And when I opened my eyes, I became Ana Muller, Count Muller's foolish daughter, and that was 250 years after her death.
