Twisted Fate

2

When i woke up, i was in a comfortable bed, a really comfortable one at that, it was like laying in a pile of clouds, now this was awesome.

I was about to stand and jump on this bed but i was interrupted by a voice.

"My lady, master is calling for you, please prepare in an instant" The voice, err servant said, he looked like the butler, which turned out to be right. But damn the butler seemed to look down on me. . .like i was a little pesk causing some trouble every single day. Well it's not like i know a lot about Vestia but...who is this person?

As i got up, the servants braught in some water for me to wash my face, as i was about to do so, i noticed how dirty the water was, and i also heard the laughs that echoed through my room.

Then i snapped. I called the servant who came with a smile, a sinister one.

"What is this?"

"what do you mean my lady? It's water, for you to wash your face" She said with a devilish grin.

"Oh really? I suppose this water would be enough to wash your face then?" I said as she looked taken aback

"o-oh but my lady this is for you, and its not that filthy-" i cut her off by grabbing her hair and shoving her face to the water. Then i yelled at a servant, who was now cowering in fear, to gather all the servants in the hall.

now yes, i somehow know what the layout of this house is. It was just like that when i woke up.

she hurridly ran off to carry my order. Then i pulled the girl up, she was currently gasping for air.

"m-my lady!! how dare you?!!"

"How dare i? Do you hear yourself right now? Am i not your master? I am the one you serve. And yet you still chose to be reckless in choosing your own words" I said with a low voice, but full of menace aswell.

Then she was now shivering, prolly terrified, i know im awesome and all. Then as i threw her at the ground she began apologizing saying how aweful she had been, and iw as enjoying this. Call me aweful or anything but, hey, she deserved it.

"My lady. All of the servants are gathered in the hall, including the master, your father."

The butler said as he looked at me coldly. still looking down on me huh, ya think ill be scared with a simple mention of father? hell no. Welp time to meet my so called father.

I reached the hall, as expected, there were many servants gathered, all of the snickered. Guess they all heard the news about my little tantrum.

Then i spotted someone. My father. There ain't no way someone could ignore that kinda presence. He had silver hair that reflected the light, he had a strong aura around him. His gaze was firm but soft when it landed unto mine. He was muscular, impresive. Plus, why does he look young- Oh boy, welp, can't turn back now can i?

As i gathered my courage to speak loudly, i heard whispers that says:

"oh now what, is she gonna just stand there, pfft- who knows, she might end up crying"

"the guts she has to pull someone's hair, i thought she was weak"

Then i snapped.

"As you can see the young lady you speak of is right in front of you. Show some respect before you end up like that maid. Who knows, it might be the blood of your comrades that ill spill on your clothes. Now be quiet."

Well that shut them up. I stared at the man, aka my father, he looked at me with a proud look along with anticipation. I looked at him and sent him a silent message saying Can i?

He nodded, and that alone made me smile.

"Alright listen up, as of today, anyone who's caught speaking ill about any member of this family will be executed."

As i said the last words, all of the servants trembled with fear, ofc i woudn't really kill anyone, it was just to shut them up.

"Execute her." I said, pointing at the servant who prepared that filthy water, also, i found out there was urine with the water she prepared. Disgusting.

Well, they weren't really going to kill her, i asked the guards in advance that they would place her in prison for an average of 6 months.

As they dragged her away, she kept begging for mercy, asking for help from my father, but he remained unfazed

"b-but my lady, she's merely a child. Pls give her a chance" The butler knelt and bowed his head.

"Yes. A child who's already capable of thinking. She knows better than to put her own urine on the water i was gonna wash my face with-"

"What?"

My father said as they all trembled. My father was now emitating a dark aura around him. It was like smoke that surrounded use, i can feel the air thinning, it was suffocating. All of the servants started to drop, holding their neck and gasping for air. I too was starting to feel drowsy, and out of air.

"F-father that's enough. I can barely breath" I said giving him a stop sign.

Then the air started turning normal again. The butler started apologizing for the maid's mistake again. All of them were like fishes dropped to the ground. Some of them lost conciousness. Some of them were trying hard not to sob.

"Scilar we need to talk, Vestia, go to your room and rest. I will handle all of this" He said glaring at the butler

"ye-yes sire"

Then the crowd dissapitated. The concious one's dragged the unconcious to the maid's chamber. And me? Well ofc i was gonna go to my room, what else can i do

As i was heading to my room, i remembered a really important detail, that man.

I rushed to my room expecting my servant fixing my sheets. Yes, this servant was trustworthy, she wasn't one of them.

"Hello my lady, quite the day huh" She said as she prepared my tea.

"Eleona, tell me everything about me. Now" I ordered. I may know the layout of this hous but i still don't know who i am

She seemed hesitant at first but started talking aswell. It's a good thing she didn't ask why.

"Well my lady. . . You are the princess named Valestia Ables Elioner. You're the daughter of the Emperor. You were shy and timid, you always stayed quiet even if your being bullied. You were physically weak. You would cry whenever you trip, fall, or injure yourself even the slightest. But then you volounteered for the war. Your father was skeptical about it but you kept pestering him about going. But then he still denied your request. So you sneaked out to participate in the war, you dressed yourself as a knight, then cam along with them, and i don't know what happened next but master came back with you all injured. You were shot by an arrow too, it was a horrible sight. His majesty tore the place apart while you were unconcious all because he coudn't find a doctor who could heal you. M-my lady you were dying!! please don't do that ever again!!" She yelled as she cried and hugged me, then i hugged her back

So that's how it goes huh, this girl. . .SRSLY?? But how could they say her body is weak. . . during the war, this body was light, strong, has a lot of stamina, so how come. . .was she pretending to be weak?

Also, it was my father that saved me? Shocking. But still, why would the original Valestia insist on going to war? Plus the moment i entered her body, she was in tears. Could she have been betrayed by the man i killed? Uh-oh, welp too late now.

Let it all remain a mystery for now, sooner or later, all of the secrets will begin to unravel, one by one.

The more i thought about the original Valestia, the more guilt i felt. Did i steal her life? Could she be cursing me right now because i was in her body? Have i angered her? I realized it has already turned dark outside, how did it turn dark in an instant? I was certain it was just morning tho. Then with that,i drifted off to sleep.

I opened my eyes to see a feild. A feild full of flowers. This was the feeling i felt when i entered Valestia's body. Except, the scene was more different, it was more peaceful. The feild was full of different types of flowers. The sky was like tainted with diamonds, well mostly because of the stars. But the shy was even more different. It had the shade of purple, orange, yellow and blue all mixed up. with the clouds hovering over the sky. Ut was suppose to be night because of the stars, but because of the different colors from the sky, it felt more like afternoon rather than evening.

It was so peaceful i wanted to lay down there forever. But of course, my peaceful day dreaming was interrupted by a voice.

"Hello"
