Chapter 1

My name is Diana King, I'm 25 years old and oddly enough, I didn't look like that 10 years ago.

I come from a wealthy family that owns a chain of luxury hotels around the world, mainly in the noblest area of the City of Diamond.The Kingdom luxury hotels.My little world started to crumble when I was just eight years old.

I was a beautiful child. All my friends at school kept telling me that. I had long hair up to my hips, black in color. It was very beautiful indeed. My eyes were also black, so black they could be compared to the darkness of a night sky. And my skin, white as snow.

My parents always said that I had unparalleled beauty. They said that all my characteristics were the perfect combination.

But that beauty of mine that I was said to be, was no more important than my family.

It was a day like any other in my life. A sunny day, with several butterflies flying across the field of flowers that we had near our home. I was quietly picking some roses to give to my mother. I had inherited her taste in flowers. Whenever I picked them, my mom would put some around the house and my dad would always tell me not to forget to get one especially for him. He loved blue roses. My mother preferred red roses and daisies.

But a tragedy has happened. Upon returning home, I came across a stranger shoving a knife into my father's abdomen and my mother's body on the floor of my father's dead office.

I managed to hide, but I realized that he was looking for me. I had dropped the basket of flowers on the floor of the room, which made this stranger realize my presence, so I ran away from home for 2 days.

When I returned and finally had the courage to enter my parents' office, I saw their bodies lying on the floor, just as the stranger had left.

My luck was a letter that my mother had given me a few months before this happened.

In the letter it said:

"- My dear, if you are reading this, it is because something happened to me and your father.

I know you are very obedient and would only open when Mom said it was meant to be opened, in extreme case of despair.

Honey, starting today, you're on your own. Trust no one. If possible, change your first and last name. Dad had a partner who was very selfish who wanted all of our fortune just for him. He was the one who hurt Mom and Dad.

Try as much as possible to live away from him, because he will try to hurt you too.

Here are all the places in the house that have money for you to get out of here as soon as possible. Never forget that we always love you. Long live my dear, for us."

I obeyed all the instructions my mother had left me and left.

At first I didn't know where to go. I thought about going to my uncle's house, which was in the same city as ours. But my mother had warned me about Dad's dangerous partner. I was brief for a moment.

I had an anger that was inside of me and questions that didn't go out of my head:

"Why my parents? They were great people. They never hurt anyone. Quite the contrary, they were always helping as many people as possible."

I couldn't stop thinking about such things.

My mom wanted me to run away to live, so I did, but I went looking for a place where I could train martial arts, learn to use all kinds of weapons so I could avenge my parents' deaths. I was too young. , but my parents always stimulated my intelligence and my creativity. So I knew exactly which way to go and where to take shelter for a while.

I walked for days, but I passed out from the heat of the scorching sun that was over my head when I came near a place that looked like a desert. I had no food and only drank water after many hours of walking without rest. body was exhausted.

When I woke up, I was lying on a bed with a cold compress on my forehead and a little lady who looked very nice telling me to rest and regain my strength.

But I just lay there, I wanted to know why that lady is helping me. I was watching the place for a few minutes. It was dark, so I couldn't see perfectly, just feel. The bed was made with wood from trees and with lots of leaves, but It was comfortable. Since I was little, my parents taught me the value of humility. If at that time I no longer had my luxury, a bed of leaves was much more comfortable than sleeping on a cold or sandy floor.

After a few minutes, she came back with a vegetable soup that was smelling really good. I couldn't help myself and asked:

- Why are you helping me?

- Because I found you passed out and weak. In the place where you were\, it is route for several men who are in search of beautiful women to make them prostitutes and profit from it. - she answered.

Even though she told me that, the memory of my mother's letter telling me not to trust anyone don't leave my mind. We were silent for just a minute, when she decided to speak:

- I know you are just a child\, but they would also take advantage of that fact. They say that a child is worth much more than a woman already an adult.

- Thanks. - was the only thing I managed to say at that moment. Then curiosity hit me again and I had to ask: - What is this place?

- It's the Southern Forest\, it's at the foot of Hill of the Moon. - she replied.

So I thought it might just be the destination, as that was exactly where I wanted to go.

- Stay for the night\, if you want you can leave tomorrow morning after you regain your strength. - the lady told me.

- Thank you\, but I prefer to leave right now. I have a lot of road ahead. Thank you for the food and your care. - I waved\, took my things and left his small residence.
