~ Million years ago, gods ruled the land, and they showered humans with blessings...there was an empire established by sun god" Sol "

and Moon goddess " luna" named "Aristella empire" .... Then they decided that they would

Give their most loyal and favorite kid the kingdom. It was dragon king and his family. The dragon kind made his daughter princess sitara and her mate prince Wagner the emperor and empress.....but the happy time in empires did not last long. The people divided in "solar followers" and "lunar followers". This enraged the sun God and moon goddess. ...so they punished the Royal family a curse.... A curse in which is if they didn't find the Maiden of light they would go crazy and reverse to Their dragon form. They can never be human again....and later will die of heart attack....and to search for the Maiden of light, goddess Luna left a ring. if a girl's finger turns the purple diamond into black then she is the maiden of light. ....~

~ A dingy,cold and dark cell where a girl with faded golden hair and soulless Ruby eyes with trickling tears is looking up at a little window where a bright and blinding sunlight is seeping in. Suddenly, A girl which flaming red hair with jet black eyes in a rosy outfit, where several diamonds are dripping out....smirks at the half dead girl...~

"Didn't I told you not to covet my things...hmm?..

See what you have done to yourself...serves you right ...humph! "

" ....why...? ....just why did you do this...? if you have ever told me that you liked Him ...I would have happily left him...why?.... I thought we were friends...then why Melissa….?.."

"... Tsk. …Tsk….my oh my…." FRIENDS" ….? Friends don't covet other people man...and they don't break Their friends' engagement. ...they don't humiliate their friends .... Like you did Lillian!…"

".... B-but I-i ..... I truly cherished you .... and He loved me...he said that ...he didn't like you...and after that... I said yes... I thought it was better for you.. (feebly holds her hand)…"

" ...

".. (Gasps) ....N-no. ..it isn't like that..believe me...I truly love him and he loves me too. This diamond which has turned black in the ring is the proof of our love..that I'm his soul mate. ."

" .... Damn this ring...if I kill you...anyone won't save you...and He. …well why don't I show you….how much he loves you huh…??"

"…..wh..at are ...you...saying...?"

~ while both of them turns and a burly muscular man with black hair and bluebell crystal eyes..enters....he slides the door open while the metallic door crunches...and then came closer to Melissa. ..staring to the corpsly body..his eyes show disgust and cold emotion...~"

"(Coldly) why did you call me in here …it's so smelly, and I think I'll catch an infectious disease from it..."

"Meghan it's me ... I'm here ...y-your lily. …can't-can't you see me…? Please save me …. I'm dying…she betrayed us, and why are you……?"

"T-toy…… W-what ... A-are you s-s-saying...?

"Oh my... I think after being here for so long ...your hearing sense has been damaged huh...? He said that you were just a toy. A tool for a fling. A doll to be poured of fleeting emotions....you were nothing in his heart.....humph!"

"Is it true....ERHE? "

" Are you deaf ...? What she said was true!....and you were just a mistress whom I can toss of anytime ...you were a rubbish. A stain on me. I hated that ring and the fate with you...!! "

"W-What....but you said...you said that...YOU LOVED ME!!"

" Tsk...you did nothing wrong...but…(smirks)...that ring chose you...and I hate that ring...so I will hate the owner too."

"ERHE and Melissa, I vow on the honor of the ice castle and pledge that if goddess Luna allows me to come back again... I will give both you the most brutal death in the history....and I will retrieve my previous glory .... I promise you…!!!"

~Lillian cursing everyone while ....drawing her last breath ...prays that ..."please luna grant me one wish...please give me a chance to redeem myself and retrieve my position....please give me a chance to rehearse my mistakes..." while begging she died....and there was a person grieving beside her corpse. ~

"No....no... E-erhe....p-please... I beg you..don't do this (gasping)..."

"Miss...miss Lillian. .please wake up...."

"Nnnnoooooo"

"M-miss...?"

"A-anne...?"

"...miss ..are you okay..?. You were gasping and huffing a lot in your sleep. Were you having a nightmare...?"

".... Yeah...a realistic nightmare.."

"(smiling and cheerfully) Then just forget about it. It's just a bad dream right?... Let me tell you something good. Prince Erhe and countess Melissa has arrived. They are waiting downstairs. ....you will be relaxed after meeting them.. "

" (clenches teeth)...Erhe. ...is here?...and Melissa too...?"

"... Oh ...about that.."

" Yeah ...you should apologise for fainting midway and leaving in that bastard's arms..."

~...humph! How foolish I was to fall for a mean and proud guy like him. He doesn't even care about me. All he cares about is...that How his pride was hurt due to king punishing him....ha!"~

"... Why should I apologize to you..instead you would be the one to do it..."

"(shocked).... W-what ...?"

"Lillian. ... (crying coyly)... The Prince was very hurt when he saw you...in the second prince arms...you should apologize for that..."

"... And what about Erhe dragging me in the ballroom forcefully...can't you see that..?"

"... Y-you...you should learn something from lady Melissa... (wiping her tears and hugging her)

"....your highness (sobbing slowly) How can you not see his highness pain Lillian. ..?"

~.... Lillian thinks"...you can't stay away anymore right...then so be it."~

"...your highness should also care about me or else I don't know how long I can support you..."

"I hope it goes as you tell me...as I'm not sure that she is really out of love with that bastard!"

"....O merciful god..please bless my sister's future path"

"....Claude. ...I need you to protect her from any means...even if she wants something illegal .... just do it!. Don't ever hesistate...she is more precious than family or anything!"
