Royal Her

Prologue

(Eris's POV)

Tears blurred my sight, as I stared down with my hands clenched. don't cry, please don't cry now. I silently begged my eyes, blinking continuously to keep those pearls at bay. They are not worth it.

My chest feeling as if though, my heart has been ripped out of it, and shredded to pieces. My own people stared at me with loathe and abhorrence and I knew it was all over.

"Your majesty the Queen has committed the grave crime of disloyalty against the kingdom, as well as against the King himself," he gave me a cold, hard glance as I clenched my fists, making the nail dig through my skin. "The punishment to such grave crime is death."

I kept my head bowed, looking at my shoes, as I felt my heart ache. On the throne sat the man, I was to marry but couldn't. All are cheaters! I took a deep breath and lifted my chin, squaring my shoulder I stared straight ahead. Born as a Queen, shall always be a Queen.

My eyes bore into those filled with filled with pretension, as the man that I loved stared back at me with a viel of painful face. "Why, my love? Why did you......." his voice cracked, and I felt my lips lift up in a sneer.

So good at faking pain, was this what I fell for?! My heart ached as I looked beside him, towards the woman, who was to be my sister. Her face held mocking smile, that seemed to slip away from the other's mind, now that the King had put up a show.

Trihumph danced through his gaze, as he lifted his, and said sobbing. "I-i gave you everything, my queen, why?!" I felt my heart cracking, as I looked at the couple that I failed to see. Why me, oh lord? what did I do so wrong?

Bieng underground for two years in my own Kingdom, I had felt what bad was to happen.

"I have not done a thing wrong, nor shall I take the blame of it." The sentence was ignored and had gone unheard, as I felt myself helpless. I am not in the power it seems......a bitter smile made it's way on my face.

His eyes bore into mine, and impatience flashed through them, and he again puts up an agonized look, and ordered in a regretful tone, "Serve the queen, a swift death and quiet death. She shall not feel any pain....."

The instance, the word left his lips, A gasp left Alana's lips, as she covered her mouth, tears leaving her eyes. A bile rose up my as I felt repugnant, how fake can you be? if I hadn't know better I would have believed! The poison was served in a flute, held to my lips and forcefully fed, and such a terrible fate I had, I could only watch thier glee....

Blood rushed out of my mouth, as I finally let go.... there's no point holding back, I need to let go at my last moments, at the least. Tears left my eyes, as I felt the cheers of excitement over my death.........

I felt a bitter smile lift up ny face over the irony, You turnt my own people against me?

Thier souls had succumbed to the evil, and the darkest sins lurk thier heart, only if I could revenge........

my head tilted upwards as I stared through the glass dome shaped cieling of the throne room, stars shone and dark gloomy clouds hid beautiful moon, even the moon is ashamed of your deeds.......

The poison coursed through my blood vessels, weakening me to my doom, my tears continued to leave my eyes, and left a wet trail in awake.

Was this the end? was god so heartless to let me suffer silently, without justice? I wish I had a chance to change the course of fate........to have a life I loved.

I seem to have the worse destiny, the almighty could offer, for I had to watch the gleefully watching traitors whom I trusted and forgave, as for myself, I held fury for being so trustful and naive.

All cheaters! They're serving me the death that was not to be mine, taking over the throne that was to decide, it's holder by itself.

Regret ate me up, as I saw thier cynical smile, that nobody else saw and the mirthful gleam of trihumph that skittered through thier eyes.......only if I could........

Was this death? Slow and encruciating? quick to kill, but at the same time holding the pain a thousand times worse then anything that could ever inflict pain? or was it just me? I would not be surprised at this point, for the pain my heart seems to be bearing was the same as that what this poison inflicted upon me ........

I felt my eyes closing in, and my heart sank......... I had lost this battle of life......lost to those evils, that had no heart and those that killed mercilessly to the people of thier own kind of thier own selfish reasons............

perhaps I was too forgiving..... I shouldn't have been so.

Darkness consumed me in an endless void, as I felt peace and tranquility showered upon me......And suddenly I was gently shaken out of it, "Young princess? Young princess? wake up......it's morning already." My eyes fluttered open, as I gazed upon an old woman in daze, before my eyes snapped open as reality sunk in. A surprised noise left my lips, as I exclaimed. "Moore?!" Moore, looked at me and gentle smile adored her wrinkled face. "Yes, young princess?" I stared at her in awe, and felt my eyes tear. Moore, was my personal maid, and was my caretaker since birth, it was so good to see her after so long, it seems as if I had started even forgetting her..... suddenly confusion struck me as I realised in horror. Moore was to be dead!Moore had died when I had just turned 20, in a rouge army attack.....she had died protecting me. Through my shocked state, my eyes fell over the mirror and a gasp left my lips, shock washed over me in waves as reality struck me like lightening. "How old am I?" The words left me in a hoarse whisper, my thoughts hazard and wild..........No, this isn't real, perhaps this is afterlife! I chanted in my mind continually, this cannot me real. Oblivious to my inner-turmoil, Moore replied with a confused smile,"Princess?" I cut her off impatient and asked sharply "How old am I, Moore?" A frown adorned her old features as she replied bewildered "15 my princess... " A gasp left me, and my thoughts rendered to a stop. Impossible!

just how?.......

somehow I have come back to time?!

"Princess, are you not feeling well? Do I need to call the healer?" Moore asked worriedly, as I ignored her, in my haze. Could it be a dream?...I doubt it very much, it seemed way too painful for that. "Princess?" I snapped out of my thoughts as Moore waved her hand infront of me worriedly. "Princess you do not seem well....." An ear splitting grin spread across my face, as a merry laughter passed through my lips. I was most certainly back!

I spinned around, as I relished the feeling of living once again, I was given another chance!

Trihumph filled my body, as a cruel smile made it's way on my face. They will pay.....for every drop of tear, for every scream that had gone unheard, for everything they had left undone......I shall pay them back with my fair share of cruelty.......

"Princess?" A worried sound brought me back, as I found Moore staring at me anxiously...... I turned towards her with a gentle smile as I replied, "I am fine Moore, you need not worry...." Moore stared at me nervously as she nodded, still unconvinced.

A smile streched up my lips, as I ordered softly. "Get my breakfast in my room Moore, I wish not eat with his highness and nobles today." Her eyes widened as she rushed to me "Are you sure you are alright, princess?" I let a confused smile break through as I questioned back "Why would I be not?" She fiddled with her apron, and shook her head fearfully "Nothing your highness, it's just you seem....... different." She glanced at me, before her eyes quickly strayed back down.

A relaxed smile broke up my face, as I felt content and replied. "That would be because, I have....." I understood her weariness for, never in my previous lifetime did I ever skip the family meals, rather Bieng the excited one about it for I loved spending the little time we had together......seems like a mistake to me now. I was a bit too naïve to notice nobody had an interest back then.

Moore looked at me with a strange face, as respect shone through her eyes. "You have grown up, Miss." her sentence brought a laugh out of me, as I shook my head. "Always so sharp as ever Moore, I could never hide from you even if I wanted to.....

Moore smiled brightly as she said,"I have brought you up, young miss, ofcourse I do know you better than anyone." I chuckled and nodded. Indeed you do Moore........

I shall make them pay for thier crimes and sinful actions.........

I shall revenge.
