Chapter 1 : Reborn with Scars.

Nectar opened her eyes slowly and looked around. She moved her arms around her body in horrified confusion I'm alive? Nectar squinted her eyes in the bright light as she looked around at the familiar room.

She realized she was in front of a mirror and frowned What's the meaning of this? She was so engrossed in her thoughts, she didn't see the concerned look on the servants faces.

She snapped out of her daze as she heard the door burst open and a man with blue eyes and ash coloured hair came in with a slight frown on her face, " What do you think you're doing? You should be getting ready ".

Nectar rubbed her eyes furiously and then pinched herself So this is my new reality Liam seemed worried as she suddenly smiled brightly, " What's gotten into you? You're scaring the servants ". He staggered slightly as she jumped on to him.

She held on to him and hugged him tightly. He was about to pry her off of him when he realized she was trembling. He sighed in defeat as he slowly wrapped his arms around her, " I understand that you're nervous and all but you need to let go ".

Nectar sniffed and held him tighter, " Liam is it really you "? Liam patted her head, " Yes it is, now let me go. You're beginning to crush me ". Nectar let go and stared at her delicate looking hands as if she'd suddenly fade away, " What day is it "?

Liam signalled for the servants to come back in, " The third day of the fifth month on the Lishflour calendar. Why "? Nectar nodded and closed her eyes I don't think this is a dream, details like dates wouldn't be so accurate.

She opened her eyes when Liam began pinching her cheeks and she futilely tried to leave his grip. He raised an eyebrow as he looked her in the eye, " What in Othorne's name has gotten into you? You need to get dressed ".

Nectar didn't want to argue with him and watched as her clothes for the day were picked out. She kept glancing at Liam who was ordering the servants around. She was afraid to blink, lest he disappear.

A few minutes later, Nectar ended up blinking and scolded herself silently. When she realized nothing had changed, she relaxed some. She smiled and finally got a good look of herself in the mirror.

Just like in her first life, she still had the azure eyes and long pure white hair I'm a lot hotter than I remember Liam came back in then and they locked eyes, " What are you doing? You should have taken your bath by now ".

Nectar: '.....'

Liam pushed her into the bathroom, which was the next room and closed it, " Just get ready. I'll take care of the rest ". Nectar looked around and slowly removed her clothes.

She was a bit surprised as she stared at her reflection in the pool. The scars from the whips she'd gotten in her first life had followed her here, just like in the modern world It's like fate's cruel way of reminding me about my past

Nectar soaked in the pool shortly before getting out again. She'd never really had to worry about the scars before but now it would be a problem. Nectar wrapped herself up and watched as Liam frantically went through clothes, " What imbecile licked out those clothes for the Empress "?

She couldn't help but giggle as she watched him panic. Already feeling bad, she spoke up" I think I'll pick it out Liam. Okay "? Liam was hesitant but let her pick, Nectar decided on a long blue dress with see through lace flowers, matching it with white colored heels

Liam seemed satisfied with her choice and she got dressed. Nectar came out of her changing room satisfied with herself. She sat at the mirror and he began to dry her hair, " So what exactly is happening today "?

Liam stared at her through the mirror suspiciously, " His Majesty's parents are coming. Its your first official meeting since the wedding ". Nectar nodded and played around with some ice she conjured, " There's no need to make it complex, a simple ponytail will suffice "

Eros was annoyed, he didn't really want to do this. He'd been married to Nectar six months now, and he wasn't fond of her. [ She's not supposed to be here ]. His first love, Athena was supposed to be.

But they'd found out about his betrothal to a princess from the neighboring countries, the Actso isles. Apparently his great great great grand father had signed a peace treaty with their ancestors.

Now , five generations later, he's marriage was merely a peace treaty. [ Why did it have to be me? ] His mother was against it as well, especially since she liked Athena as well.

His father was adamant, since it would disregard their ancestors. So now Eros was stuck, Athena was unhappy about it as he was and he decided on the next best thing.

He'd made her his ' FIRST LADY ', the position second only to him and Nectar. It was no secret who he really loved and Athena now sat beside him. She was dressed in red robes and a white inner. Her gold hair glided effortlessly on her back and her make up subtly brought out her glowing golden eyes. " Are you sure she's coming? I should leave, I might cause trouble "

Eros snickered " I'd like to see her try ". Just then, the doors opened and Nectar walked in. Her hair was in a tight ponytail with loose strands scattered all over her face. Liam was dressed in a black suit with a gold waistcoat. He also had a phoenix shaped stud on his left ear.

" Empress greets His Majesty and First Lady Athena ". Eros grumbled and waved his hand " Rise empress ". Nectar stared at them both and smiled " Many thanks ". [ A dog and his bitch. What a fitting couple ]
