~•Travis PoV•~

While I was walking around in the garden I saw a girl lying on the green grass...I thought that she is dead so I approach her as I was about to touch her face she said...

"Who are you?"

And she opened her eyes...

I was enchanted by her eyes that were full of stars it was so beautiful I had never seen those eyes in my life.

"I'm the 3rd son of the Emperor"-I said.

She stand up quickly and greeted me.

" How about you? Who are you and why are you here?"-I said.

"I'm the Daughter of the Duke Nephus my name is Psyche Nephus"-She said.

"I thought that the duke didn't have a daughter"-I said.

" I'm adopted"-She said.

"Psyche There you are"-Duke said.

"Greetings father"-She said.

"Oh Your highness Greetings to the 3rd prince of the Katia Empire, Welcome back Your Highness"-Duke said.

" Glad to see you again Duke Kaim"-I said.

"How are you, Your Highness?"-Duke said.

"Still the same nothing change at all"-I said.

" Good to know that Your Highness"-Duke said.

"How old are you Your Highness?"-Psyche said.

" 15 years old How about you Lady Psyche?"-I said.

"Soon to be 18 years old"-Psyche said.

"Wait What?!"-I said.

"What is happening here?"

A sweet familiar voice that I heard behind my back and when I turn around I saw my Older sister Janette

"Greetings to Princess Jean of Katia Empire"-Psyche and The duke said.

" Oh Lady Psyche I've been looking for you there you are"-Sis Janette said.

Janette De Aphelion- The only daughter of the Emperor.

"Please ask my maids Your Highness if you are looking for me cuz they know where I am"-Psyche said.

" You know each other?"-I said.

"Oh yes, we knew each other because we have the same teacher in Etiquette Class"-Sis Janette said.

" Oh...I see"-I said.

"Well, Lady Psyche are you free this weekend?"-Sis Janette said.

" Yes, Your Highness"-Psyche said.

"Well, I invite you to my tea party"-Sis Janette said.

"I will be there"-Psyche said.

" I will excuse myself sis Janette, Lady Psyche, and Duke Kaim"-I said and leave.

As the days go by I always watch Lady Psyche train with his brothers and I always saw my brother with Lady Psyche...I wonder why I get jealous when I saw them together laughing or talking as if they were like Girlfriend and Boyfriend...

-Fast Forward-

-Festival of the Empire-

I run as fast as I can because the guards are chasing me they thought that I was the one who stole a thing from a merchant but I wasn't the one who stole it...as I was about to get by the guards someone pull me and we teleport from another place and As I raised my head I saw Lady Psyche in front of me and said...

"Shh don't tell anyone about this ok Your Highness"

And she smiled at me.

"Lady Psyche?"-I said.

" Do you wanna do something crazy?"-She said.

"Sure"-I said.

" Then Hold my hand tightly"-She said and gives me her hand.

"Ok"-I said.

" Close your eyes Your Highness"-She said.

And I felt like we fly up to the sky as I felt that we land on the ground she said to me...

"Open up your eyes Your Highness"-She said.

As I opened up my eyes I was shocked because We are walking in the sky, no there are no clouds it's lower than the clouds let's just say that it's high like the Tower of the Palace it's so high that you can see everyone at the City and because I was too shocked I hold Lady Psyche's hand tightly.

*Psyche Chuckle*

"Pfft HAHAHAHA don't be scared, your Highness you won't fall try to walk and you'll see that you won't fall and if ever your gonna fall I will catch you"-She said and she smile.

As I hold out her hand she removed her hood and the air goes through her hair and again I was fascinated by her charm.

" Don't look way too much at me Your Highness try to use your mana so that you won't fall"-She said and look at me.

And I was embarrassed so I look away and try to move and yeah I can move.

"Do you think that your brother likes my sister?"-I said.

"No need to think he already likes Your sister Your Highness"-She said.

" Really?!"-I said.

"Yep, I know since the day He saw Lady Janette He fell in love my Brother's feeling is Clear as the water he was just scared to tell about his feelings to Lady Janette"-She said.

" Lady Psyche tells me what is your relationship with my brother"-I said.

"I don't know I feel like I'm just a rebound to him"-She said and her emotion change.

" Do you love him?"-I said.

"Yes I did love him but the question is does he love me? Because whenever he encounters the daughter of The Baroness It feels like he still loves her"-She said.

I don't know what should I feel about it.

" Anyways, Let's move on to a new topic Let me ask you why are you so tall? You're still 15 years old, right?"-She said.

"Why is there anything wrong with my height?"-I said.

"nothing"-She said.

"Well do you want to watch the firework with me?"-She said and smile at me.

" Yes "-I said.

" 1...2...3"-She counts.

*Fireworks everywhere*

"It looks so beautiful"-She said.

"Yes it is"-I said.

From that moment I wish that the time will stop...I want to be with her.

" Let's go down now Your Highness?"-She said.

As soon as we get down we eat some food and take a look at some necklaces and bracelets and then I saw a violet moon necklace and I purchase it and give it to her...she also got me a blue flower Brooch pin it was so beautiful and then we look for more and we went home.

"I will go now Lady Psyche"-I said.

" Well, It will be nice if You will call me Master Your Highness"-She said.

"M-master?"-I said.

" Pfft just kidding I'm just joking"-She said and laugh.

And then suddenly I feel like the curse is happening again...my power started to get out of control and my eyes are turning red...it always happens when the Curse occurs.

"Your Highness Are you ok?"-She said.

" No, please don't look at me Lady Psyche"-I said.

"Why?"-She said.

And I turn around to her she was shocked by what she saw...I knew she will hate me like the others she will disgust me.

I was wrong...she is not afraid nor disgusted nor hates me...she instead helps me to overcome it by using her power.

" Lady Psyche? Your Mana"-I said.

"Don't worry Everything will be ok your highness just concentrate on my eyes"-She said.

Her eyes are not just beautiful but powerful it contains a lot of magic in them as time pass by I feel like a little bit of the curse is gone and I feel like I'm dizzy.

I always wonder if Heaven hates me that much for giving me this curse called...The curse of the Heiress...yes I am the heir of the throne.

-Months Later-

"Go call the Empress Tell her that the Crown Prince is Awake"-Butler said.

" What happened?"-I said.

"You've been in a coma for months Your Highness the curse almost killed you but thanks to Lady Psyche and she take all the curses away"-Butler said.

"How is she?"-I said.

"She is in a coma for days but she is ok she is just so exhausted so her body gives up she just needs a lot of rest"-Butler said.

" Son! Finally, You're awake!"-Mom said.

"Yeah"-I said.

" I thought that I will lose you"-My mom said.

"No, you will not lose me mom"-I said.

After that, I visited the Duke's Household to check on Lady Psyche, and when I got there the duke said that Lady Psyche is still in a coma.

-At the bedroom of Lady Psyche-

" Greetings to the Crown Prince of Katia Empire"-Maids said.

"I want to talk to Lady Psyche Just me and her"-I said.

As soon as the maids leave I close the door and said...

" Why did you still save me when you already know that it will cost you your life? I always thought that you will be scared of me, I always thought that you will gonna hate me, and I always thought that you will gonna call me a monster when I look at you but instead, you help me and heal me...I suppose to hate you...I hate it when you smile at me...I hate it when you look at me...I hate it...because I know that every single moment you do that I fall for you harder...So, please get well soon...I will always wait for you"

I hold her right hand and kissed her right hand and I swore to myself that I will make her the happiest woman in the world and I will protect her at all costs...I will never let anyone hurt her and if ever there is someone that will hurt her...they will taste the blade of my sword and I will show them the hell here on earth.

As time pass by my love for her grows...I will do everything to make her mine only mine.

As I open up my eyes I saw two maids beside me and I thought that they are the maids of the De Ross household so I get wild and said...

"Please don't hurt me! I didn't do anything so, please!"

"Milady Please calm down!"

One maid said.

"Tell the duke that the girl is awake"

The other maid said.

And the maid left to tell the Duke, and I look around at the room.

"Where is Rose?"-I said.

" Rose? Who is Rose?"-The maid said.

"The girl that I'm with is she alive?!"-I said.

" I'm sorry Milady but I don't know what you're talking about"-The maid said.

As far as I remember rose got shot by an arrow and then she said to me to leave but unfortunately, the assassins got me and they stab me in my stomach...wait I saw the badge of the person who stabbed me...the badge of him was the same as the badge of the knights of De Ross household...could it be that my grandfather wants to kill me?.

"What happened here?"

A man said and walk towards me.

"Who are you?"-I said and look at him.

"Flow and Marie you can leave now"-Man said.

They curtsy and left.

" Now let me introduce myself...I'm Duke Kaim Nephus my age is 37 years old"-Duke said.

"And where I am?"-I said.

"You are at the Phoenix Mansion, one of the estates of Nephus family"-Duke said.

" Oh...I see"-I said.

"Now can you introduce yourself?"-Duke said.

"I'm Callista 15 years old"-I said.

" You don't have any surname?"-Duke said.

"Callista De Ross"-I said.

"You're the daughter of the duke of De Ross household?"-Duke said.

" The Fake daughter...the duke kicked me out because he already find the new one"-I said.

"So you are homeless?"-Duke said.

" Yes, but I'm not alone I have a friend her name is Rose"-I said.

"Oh...I see"-Duke said.

" I wonder if is she still alive"-I said.

"I have an offer to you"-Duke said.

" What is it?"-I said.

"Would you want to become my daughter?"-Duke said.

" You're gonna adopt me?"-I said.

"Yes"-Duke said.

"You don't have a daughter?"-I said.

" I have but she died because her mother that was supposed to be my wife gave birth and at that time I was away from her so I let my Brother take care of her while I was away but when I came back he said that my daughter died and he already buried her and later that day the mother of my daughter died due to frustration and Sadness and my current wife can't give birth so I don't have any daughter or son"-Duke said.

"Then I will agree but Can I change my name?"-I said.

"Yes you can"-Duke said.

"Then will it be ok to call you father?"-I said and smile.
