My Only Regret Is That I Am Not The Empress
Chapter 2
Veronica Evenrose
Ahhhh!!!!
Veronica woke up screaming. She gasped for air and immediately touched her neck.
Veronica Evenrose
"I definitely..."
She could still remember the cold blade touching her neck. She trembled in fear. It was a frightening memory.
She unconsciously touched her neck again to make sure that it's still attached to her body. How come she's still alive. It was definitely not a dream.
Nevertheless, she had to make sure that she's not dreaming so she pinched her cheek real hard.
She felt the pain with the harsh sound of friction. She murmured as she caressed her bruised cheek.
Veronica Evenrose
"It hurts..."
How can this be? She was alive. But what in the world.. how?
She was surprised when the door to her room was suddenly opened.
Meridith Evenrose
'Veron!'
She can't believe it. The voice who called out her name was her sisters.
Veronica Evenrose
'Edith..'
Veronica approached her sister with a look that showed she knew she couldn’t stop her. Her body began to tremble as if she had seen a ghost and questioned in a voice full of disbelief.
Veronica Evenrose
'Edith, is that really you?'
Only then did Meredith realize that her sister was acting a bit weird. She tilted her head to the side and asked
Meridith Evenrose
' What is it? Did something happen?'
She couldn't control her emotions anymore. She jump off the bed and run towards Meredith.
She hug her sister real tight.
Veronica Evenrose
' Oh my goodness, my sister is alive. You are still alive. '
Veronica Evenrose
' How in the world? '
Meridith Evenrose
' Veron why are you acting like this? '
Meredith remove the arms that are tightly holding her.
Veronica who was shocked with Meredith sudden rejection murmured.
Veronica Evenrose
' How are we still alive? God, how could this be? '
Meredith seems to have something to say so she took Veronica's hand.
Meridith Evenrose
' Veron, it won't work. I can never become his majesty's queen.'
A flashback of events came into Veronica's mind. Her head suddenly felt a tingling sensation. So she asked, stammering...
Veronica Evenrose
' Q - queen? '
Meridith Evenrose
' Yes, Queen! His majesty is asking for an answer by tomorrow. '
Veronica Evenrose
' This is absurd. '
Meridith Evenrose
' What do you mean absurd?! We were discussing this issue since yesterday. '
Veronica scratch her head in frustration.
Meridith Evenrose
' Veron, I was thinking... since I am the oldest, I think I ..'
Veronica Evenrose
' No, you can't be the queen! '
Veronica Evenrose
' You're too kind. '
However, even with Veronica's revelation, Meredith remained silent.
Meridith Evenrose
' What happened to you?'
Meridith Evenrose
' Did you ate something weird? '
Veronica wants to tell her sister that she seems to regressed. But looking at her sister's expression she couldn't open her mouth.
She bit her shaking lips.
She would not let her family experience unfair death the second time. She bowed that she will get her revenge.
Meridith Evenrose
' You're really weird today .'
The voice of her sister brought her mind back to reality.
Veronica Evenrose
' We celebrated our 19th birthday yesterday right? '
Veronica couldn't believe it. She regressed back in time when she was 19 years old.
The exact time for the Queen selection.
