"Fuck this shit!!!" I yelled out of my bedroom balcony. There were some knightd practicing on the field and when cursed all of the stopped what they were doing and looked up at me.

I could clearly see that they were trembling. Just how bad was Aeliana? I flashed a smile and slowly backed out.

Aratus Lillian Alphus. He is 4 years elder to Aeliana. Up the age of 18, he was studying at the Academy far from the capital. He is the main lead of this story along with the Emperor. I had such dotting brother back home and I know Aratus is not a doting brother.

I mean when she mistakely dropped tea on the fl's dress, it was mistake by sure cause I read it, he threw hot tea on her hand and it caused her a major burn and a huge scar on her arm, this is one of the main reason Aeliana despises Aratus, he is even said to be cruller than the blood thirsty Emperor, and to be honest he was my favorite character in the book, but right now let's not get in his bad side.

The novel starts when it is the Age coming ball of the women, meaning it is 4 years from now.

I took out a sheet of paper and a pen, surprising it exists here. I thought it would be feather and an ink bottle but pens exits here, there are even trains here! I mean how??? I guess this era is in start of Industrial Revolution.

Back to the topic, I started writing at the paper.

Tomorrow Aratus will return and I think the Future Emperor, The Future General and The Archmage is along with him, those four were called the 4 horsemen of Castilian Empire, sadly the General and Archmage were second leads who fell for the female leads. The Archmage sacrifices himself for the fl and the General dies protecting the other fl, it is so sad.

"Princess, shall we get your bath ready?" one of the maids asked. I looked up and saw her. I smiled widely at her and nodded. She walked from my room and closed the door behind it.

That maid. . .Serena, she is actually the runaway daughter of the high priestess. She was best friend of Aeliana in the story, she arrived last month after running from the temple.

Right now she has face full of freckles and a short brown hair, but she is actually a beauty and has no freckles. She is in "disguise".

When Aeliana was executed, she was executed as well and since she is a daughter of the high priestess she possess huge magic power and right now she is 2 years elder to me.

No one, not even Aeliana knew she was the daughter of the High Priestess. When she was about to be executed she revealed her true form and curses one of the fl and hence to break the curse fl needed a true love's heart, the Duke, my brother, was ready to sacrifice himself but then Archmage sacrifices himself.

That chapter made me cry so much, but right now I hate that chapter. True Love?? Shit!!! Anyway, I need to keep Serena close to me, with her by my side I am not scared of anything, but I need to gain her favor.

"Princess, your bath is ready." Serena said. I stood up and walked to the bathroom.

Serena walked behind me. I stopped and looked out the huge window. The stars were shining brightly. I never had chance to see it.

"Anything wrong, Princess?" she asked me. I turned towards her. Honestly, no one would say that she was the daughter of high priestess if she saw her in this condition.

"You will go to the Temple with me tomorrow." I said.

Her eyes widened. She started sweating alot. The High Priestess will be the one who is going vest me as an Knight as there is no Emperor right now.

I think it is next month that he will get the throne and title of the Emperor and will choose who is going to be his 4 knights. Aeliana, I am one of them along side, Aratus, Archmage and General.

"Princess, I won't be able to go." Serena said. I can sense fear in her tone. I looked at her, "Why?"

"Yes?" she asked me.

"Why won't you be able to?" I asked her coldly. Sorry Serena, I will be needing you there tomorrow. I know what happens tomorrow and it is not a sweet scene. I will be needing your help.

"T...tha..that..." she shuttered.

"It's decided then, you will be the only one I will be taking along with me tomorrow." I said. She looked at the floor.

I feel bad for her, but for me to survive I have to do it and I won't let anything happen to you.

_._._._._

I walked inside my room and straightly jumped on my bed. If this is a dream, please let it end soon and don't let me die in the real world. I closed my eyes.

'There are flowers everywhere, mostly 4 kinds of flowers. Lillies, Sunflower, Camellia and Jasmines.

I looked around and see 3 girls facing the sun. The first girl turns back. I can't see her face.

"Come fast." she says and gives me her hand. I hold her hand, I can only see that the girls are smiling. I can't see their faces.'

"Princess!" I opened my eyes.

There were maids rounding my bed. A dream? A very strange dream, the flowers and the girls. . .

"Good Morning Princess." one of the maids. I just yawned.

"We are tasked to get you ready." other maid said.

"Ready?" I asked confused.

"Yes Princess, for your knighting ceremony."

"ohh~" I sighed. I could barely open my eyes.

"The Young Master will be there as well."

My eyes were wide open. All the drowsiness drained out of my body.

Today, I mean the main leads. . .they might kill me in future.
