Chapter 0: Prologue
"Tell me, Emperor! What have I done to deserve all the neglect you and the crown prince put me through all these years? I endured all the pain of not having even a word of love or concern toward me! I DID EVERYTHING! I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO PROVE MY WORTH BUT WHAT DO I GET? NOTHING BUT NEGLECT!" Aurelia shouted. "WATCH YOUR TONE, AURELIA!" The emperor shouted in response. "NO! I WILL NO LONGER HAVE THIS. I HAVE SUFFERED MY ENTIRE LIFE! AND DON'T
YOU DARE SAY MY NAME SO CARELESSLY!" She yelled with tears in her eyes. Just then, she took the dagger from the table behind the emperor and positioned it toward her chest. "You wouldn't..." He said. " OH, I WOULD YOUR MAJESTY. I LIVED THROUGH ALL THE PAIN OF NEGLECT YOU HAVE PUT ME THROUGH ALONG WITH YOUR QUICK ACCEPTANCE OF VIVIANA WHO YOU KNOW IS NOT YOUR DAUGHTER SINCE YOU AND HIS HIGHNESS WITNESSED THE BIRTH!" She yelled once more.
Evander, Aurelia's older brother, walked inside the room and spotted Aurelia with tears in her eyes and a dagger pointed at her chest. "AURELIA DON'T!" He yelled, which caught her attention. "DON'T ACT LIKE YOU CARE FOR ME NOW! YOU BOTH NEVER CARED FOR ME MY ENTIRE LIFE AND YOU HAD TO WAIT UNTIL I WAS ON THE BRINK OF DEATH TO CARE!" She shouted. She raised her arms with the dagger in both hands as high as she could and began lowering them. The Emperor and Prince yelled for her to stop but she did not. The prince tried to grab the dagger but it was too late. The dagger was inches away and she thought about her actions for a second but decided not to hold back and stabbed herself.
As she fell to the floor and a pool of blood began staining the wooden floor, Evander fell to his knees and screamed as tears began falling from his eyes endlessly. The emperor looked at Aurelia's lifeless body being held by the sobbing Evander and stood there blankly, then eventually fell to the floor, hugged, and sobbed along with his son.
