“The daughters of a man like that doesn’t deserve to live.” The crowd chattered angrily, they were ready to tear them apart. “The princesses of Elderslot should be put to death.” 
She raised her head slowly, she glanced at the current emperor of the Aubreun Empire, he wasn’t very much different from how she remembered him; he was only dressed in the clothes of the imperial palace and his name had changed.

 “Heads down you insolent witch!” One of the palace guards snapped before smacking her cheeks, her head snapped to the side and blood seeped from the cut. 

“The princesses of Elderslot should be put to death!” The crowd kept on chanting. “The tyranny of the duchy of Elderslot has come to an end his majesty should do us a favor and kill them all.” 
 “Kill them all!” 

“Show no mercy!” 

“Off with their heads!” 

“Silence!” The Emperor yells and the crowd grew silent. “The house of Elderslot has indeed committed treason against the imperial family and the empire as a whole, but I assure you, the Duke of Elderslot and all those responsible has been executed.” 

     Her heart hammered in her chest, and once again she dared to look up at him, he spoke with a dignified arrogance whilst radiating kingly aura; he was like a stranger. 
 “My verdict is mercy, they shall be given their lives but their positions will be reduced to nothing.” The tears that well in her eyes, slipped and fell to her blooded dress. The Emperor turned in her direction as he spoke. 
“They shall be left with nothing,” their eyes met and his hardened immediately. “Nothing but shame and pain to clothe them.”

Not My Sins

"I can't give her up, father, when I was a child. You told me when I become king, I can have everything. What is my point in becoming King? If I cannot have just one woman. You said I'm going to make Nations bow down before the feet of this Empire. How can I do that? If I can't make one woman succumb to me." Aryan explained with determined purpose and the king frowned at the prince's logic.

"There are thousands of other good women out there, the ones whose quality surpasses that of the princess of Elderslot." He advised. "You shouldn't covet an ordinary woman that much."

"That is the woman I love father, and you are not the best person to rule away my feelings as you have also loved so foolishly and blindly." Aryan attacked and the Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly. "If any other thing could replace the moon in the sky, then why haven't you loved my mother for all those years,"

"What?" He asked curiously and he cleared his throat.

Give everything up
