Is the Emperor already crazy? Why did he think of inviting me to the dinner, for Pete's sake!

To my anger, I accelerated my pace and did not realize that I was separated from my mother.

How unlucky of me!

I just kept walking even though I knew I was being stabbed by the sharp eyes of every aristocrat around me. Never mind, I'm so used to it.

While walking, the garden full of different types of flowers caught my attention. I looked a little further to see how beautiful they were. As I pondered, I did not realize that I had collided with someone, causing me to fall.


"I'm so sorry, I didn't know someone's there." I said


He held out his hand and as I looked up, I was paralyzed to see the first prince in front of me.

It gives me chills when I suddenly remember this scene; when Alexis was looking down to me. The only difference was he don't have his sword to kill me.


"Are you alright, miss?"


I came back to reality when his attendant spoke.

I shouldn't bump into him in the future or else I'll be done for. I stood up for myself while my head keeps staring at the ground.


"Yeah, I should keep going. Again, forgive me for my impudence." I bowed as I quickly as I can and walked away


But I was stopped when suddenly someone grabbed my arm. When I looked around I saw Alexis and his face looked sad.

"Why didn't you come back to the palace?"


My eyes were enlarged in shock in what I heard.


What does it mean? Alexis didn't care for me at all in fact, he doesn't want to be with me in the first place.

I became paralyzed in a moment. Once again, I was be able to reminisce all the sufferings I've been through because I fell in love with him.

It's all your fault! I was blind back then and naive. You take advantage of me while you were in love with my sister. I regret all of it, I wish I didn't met you!


"Adel, what's wrong? Are you okay, you look pale." Alexis said with worried eyes


They noticed that something was wrong with me but I calmed myself down. I did promise to live my life to the fullest with my love once, I can't ruin it this time I had my second life.

I swayed my arms and that made him lose his grip. I looked at him with my serious eyes and it made him surprised.


"I supposed that is inappropriate for a lady to go to palace because of a prince who doesn't even care for her." I said


I saw his confused eyes while he was looking at me. Like he couldn't believe what was happening.

We may be close in our childhood times, but all is destined to be change.


"This lady will not bother you again, your highness" I said with a big smile in my face


My words made him speechless and I continued to walk away. It's better to stay away from him. From this life, I will not love Alexis anymore.

I'm still walking but my eyes won't stop to cry so I can't clearly see my path. My heart began to hurt.


I wanna shout! I wanna scream! But I can't... Somebody, help me..


"Adel! Adel..."


I need someone...


"My daughter!"


My mom hugs me from afar and that made me cry loud in her embrace. Mom pats me in my head and comforts me.


"Don't worry, Adel. I'm here, you're safe" she said in a soft voice

When I'm with mom, it's just all my sorrows and pain will instantly gone like magic. It's the first time I felt something like this with my mom.


"What are you doing here?"


My hair all over the body straighten when I heard that man's voice. I looked and it was indeed my father. He saw my eyes and probably know that I cried.


"Tsk, is that really worth of crying when the prince didn't noticed you? Well, how could someone willing to talk with a spoiled brat like you?" Father said

His words sinks in to my chest and it hurts. My father didn't change at all. He still didn't care about me.


"Duke, you shouldn't be like that to our daughter." said mom

Mom did stand up for me.

He turned his back coldly.

"I didn't have a daughter like her." After he said that, he walks away


Mom looked at me with worried eyes but I didn't see it clearly because I was drown in my thoughts again. Was I still be able to change my life? In 6 years, Ivellina will become my sister because mom died.


"Adel, are you okay?" she said in a worried tone

"Yes mom" I said with a smile

"Thank goodness! Adel, whatever your father may say to you, you will always be my daughter"she said in tears


I cupped her face and wiped her tears.

Mom shouldn't cry anymore. Mom should be happy. Don't worry mom, from now on I'll make you happy.


"Don't worry mom, even if father doesn't acknowledge me, as long as I have my mom. I can be happy. " I said and give her a big and warm hug.

I promise to protect you in this life, I won't let you die!
