"Honey, Please just listen to me. It's not what you think."

Tom said with a desperate tone.

"Tell me then what did you imagine I was thinking about? That you were sleeping with another woman? HUH!? YOU TELL ME TOM!!"

I replied as my anger rose.

"Honey, please forgive this time you were distancing yourself from me. I have no choice but to feel alone for days-."

Before he could finish he's sentence a cracking sound broke all over the room. And as whispers from the mansion turn to screams. I felt I finally had enough. My hands were bleeding from the vase I shattered. But it didn't hurt as much when he broke my heart.

"Tom-"

I couldn't say it...

I felt like I was stuck at the end of a Cliff. I supposed I cried; tears dropped from my face like the gentle rain. But it didn't bother me I continued what I was about to say.

"Tom, Let's get a divorce."

He replied.

" No! NO! Wait WHAT ABOUT THE UPCOMING BALL. Honey, come on YOU MUST BE PLAYING AROUND RIGHT? RIGHT!?"

Then he realized I wasn't. I was tired of seeing him taking another woman every f#cking single day. He changed it faster than he changed he's clothes.

3 weeks later.....

It's been 3 weeks since I quietly divorced my husband. But I guess I can't hide it that long.

An unfamiliar guttural voice was getting closer in my direction.

"ROSEAL!! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!!"

My father said and added.

"HOW COULD YOU EMBARRASSED YOURSELF. AT LEAST MAKE MINDFUL DECISION FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE. I DIDN'T RAISE YOU TO BE LIKE THIS."

Those words don't really bother me. He didn't raise me regardless I was his daughter by blood. The maids who he paid did. But they tried to poison me, and I was forced to learn to take care of myself at the age of five.

"Father I-"

I couldn't get started with my reasoning.

"*WOULD YOU SHUT UP. YOU HAVE RUINED EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE ALREADY. DON'T MAKE IT WORSE BY BEING A BRATTY DAUGHTER OF DUKE ROZSA. A**rgh* my head."

He added.

"You should just leave and be ready for the ball tonight. Do what you want you are such a headache"

He said with a groan.

In the "LITTLE ROSE MANSION"

"Hick - When will this end I want to die. I'm so tired of this. How could my father and husband do this to me."

When will this nightmare end...

I cried all night. My tears fall like the moon to give space to the sun to rise.

The next morning...

I slept like a baby. My hair was a mess.My dress was stained by my tears. My head felt like a thousand needles stabbed me. I glanced outside the window to feed my curiosity.

It was already snowing. Snowflakes drop like shattering glass but quieter. So beautiful but yet cold.

I mumbled to myself.

"should I escape..."

To be continued...

"Should I -?"

Before I could organize my thoughts a thumping sound interrupted me.

"WHAT THE..."

It was a bird outside my garden. It has beautiful red feathers with a tiny shine to it. Its wings were injured from the fall. It was cute its beak was tiny.

4 Hours Later...

A knock was at my gate. I put the bird aside.

I hurriedly went outside. And the color from my skin went pale. It was my father. He said with a toneless voice.

"Roseal, You didn't attend the ball last night."

Oh, shoot I'm dead...

Later that day...

"Phew, I thought I was good as dead."

"Father didn't yell at me. Rather he was disappointed at me. I thought he was the type of man that would hit me. I wouldn't know I only met him yesterday. And the day of the Rose Ceremony I never met him ever since that. I only met him twice."

The Rose Ceremony only happens to the Rozsa Family. Where it is a ceremony of a Rozsa offspring to introduce to the world. The offspring can also be called the new "Blossom". It is not only giving the title of the offspring but also proving if the Blossom is truly a Rozsa or an illegitimate child. And if the child is truly from outside marriage it will be beheaded or the cheating wife will be executed.

"I passed the Rose ceremony but because of the false rumors. I was like a duck surrounded by swans. My appearance made the whole empire doubt me."

The Rozsa Family has red hair, crimson eyes, and pale skin. While I got the pale skin and red eyes genetics part. I have pink hair.

"At least I was close. Pink is a tint of red anyway."

I sighed.

"Mother why do I have to look different."

"Tweet, Tweet."

"Huh?, Oh hi birdy. Have you woken up already."

It's like it's telling me it's hungry. So I fed it. I had a weird feeling calling it birdy or it. So I named It "Phe". I felt tired and went to bed.

The next day...

I stretched and took a shower. And dressed myself then I cooked to eat. After I took a stroll around my mansion. It was quite lonely. Phe was still asleep. As I reached my mansion's gate a letter awaited me. I took the letter and opened it.

"An invitation to a tea party? From Lady Cleris"

I have to attend this. Or I will be as good as dead.

A noble not attending an invitation is considered rude to the others. They will think you're arrogant.

I never received an invitation all my life.

"This must be a trap..."

I sighed

"It's so obvious they want to make a scene in the tea party and embarrass me. I guess they already heard about the divorce with Tom."

"WHAT ITS TODAY! They could have at least given me a heads up."

I rushed to get ready. I arrived just in time. But i was in such a hurry that I forgot to wear winter clothes. Instead, I wore a green dress. I was shaking from the cold. I felt anxious as I stopped at the gate of Lady Cleris.

I mumbled to myself while I scratched my head.

"I should have just stayed at my mansion. It's freezing here. BRRR~..."

To be continued...

Uuuggghhh!!! I feel like dying. They have been talking for hours now. I just want to go to Phe.

"Ohh Lady Roseal I heard that you and Lord Tom are no longer together."

She smirked. Like she knows what she was doing.

I sighed. And glared at her.

"Yes, Lady Cleris What you heard is true." I said in a monotone voice.

"Oh my~ I guess it did work out that well with him."

She giggled. And the crowd followed.

I replied.

"I can say the same goes for your unborn child."

The crowd went in silence.

Oh sh*t did I go too far.

I giggled. So it seems to be sarcastic. But Cleris was mad. She glared at me with such murderous intent and took a knife and she was going towards me.

"CLERIS! STOP THIS MADNESS!!"

 Henry said with a shrill voice.

Henry was the fiance of Cleris. Before she cheated on him at the engagement ceremony. And was pregnant but the child didn't make it.

He grabbed her hand. And said to everyone in the room.

"EVERYONE LEAVE NOW! PARTY IS OVER."

I can hear whispers from the ladies. But the cry from Last Cleris was much louder from the other room. I was just joking about her baby. I didn't know it was really true. I just heard from the capital about some rumors.

I sighed.

"I should apologize to her..."

 I mumbled to myself. And added.

"I should just leave."

Many days have passed since that incident. But I still felt guilty. I really crossed the line. She must have cried a lot. Cleris have been through an awful lot. I build the courage to go and apologize.

"What should I do? I really don't know how to do this. Should I knock?"

I knocked, and before I could do it for the second time the door opened it was Henry. He said with an annoyed look

"What are you doing here?"

I replied with a trembling voice.

"Well umm Good day to you Lord Hen-"

He cut me off and said.

"Just say what you are here for don't beat around the bush."

I sighed

"I'm here to apologize to Lady Cleris."

He looked at me with a confused look. But shrugs it off.

"Do what you want but if you make her cry. I'll kill you."

I gulped and nodded.

I saw Lady Cleris I hurriedly went towards her. She was startled by my sudden presence.

"WHAT? YOU AGAIN!!"

She yelled with annoyance in her voice.

"Umm hello I'm here to apologize."

She replied.

"I don't care about your stupid-"

"Hey, Look Lady I walked so much because I don't have a carriage that I own. You better listen to my apology."

I stopped and caught my breath. She was terrified and nodded.

"Lady Cleris I'm sorry for what I have said at the tea party. It must have been hard losing your baby and your fiancé at the same time. You're the toughest Lady I ever met. Even at your lowest time you still tried."

I bowed.

Then I heard a cry. I raised my head; it was Lady Cleris.

"Hick-You shouldn't have~ Apologize. It was supposed to be me. I'm sorry, it was hard for you too. You just divorce your husb**and. While I was making fun of it. Will you ever forgive me? Hick-"

"It's okay I forgive you. And will you ever forgive me?"

She replied.

"Yes Can we be friends now?"

I nodded.
