Glimpse of The Past, Cecile: The First

The most beautiful woman in the world was in front of him as he grinned proudly. Feasting with his eyes he looked at her dumbfounded face before pointing down with his finger to gesture her to look below against the warm water.

Cecile did so before seeing the reflection in the water. There, a face she had never seen was in the reflection. She touched her cheeks in spots that the reflection would mirror it accurately. Her eyes opened wide in realization as the face actually belonged to her. She never thought that she could be that beautiful. Not even the queen of the kingdom could compete with her radiant.

How would the people think right now, that the criminal was actually more beautiful than the queen herself? There was not a single thought that could run through Cecile's mind, for there was nothing but the bitterness that she felt from the world she had lived in until now.
