Chapter 8

The tension in the room grew heavier. Toya wasn't answering. She wanted to make Tsuky more anxious, so her goal would be easier to achieve.

After a while she broke the silence, and answered." His hands are covered in blood, his eyes resemble those of a hungry beast, and he knows no mercy. He kills everyone who approaches him in cold blood." Her voice was low as a mere whisperer as if she was afraid to say another word.

Her body was trembling. Goosebumps run all over it, and tears slide down her cheeks. Soon the sound of her cries echoed in the dark room.

Tsuky was stand. She didn't know what to do.She never had anyone comfort her when she cried, so she didn't know what to do to make her sister feel better.

Toya wasn't calming down instead she was crying harder. Panic overwhelmed Tsuky, and she thought of calling the maid, but Toya grabbed her hand, stopping her from leaving.

Not sure of what to do Tsuky set dawn next to her sister and put her arm on her shoulders. Then after a while, seeing that Toya wasn't crying as hard as before she asked." Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Should I inform the maids? " Her voice was trembling anxiously, showing just how worried she was.

Under the disguise of darkness Toya smiled in satisfaction. Then she lifted her head up, dried her tears, and answered in a bitter-sweet smile." l'm fine! "

" You don't look fine to me. I am going to call the maids." Tsuky said still worried about her sister.

"No, don't go!" Toya said loudly, unlike someone who was crying and trembling a while ago. Then realising her mistake she added softly." Don't leave me alone."

Tsuky was confused. Toya was acting strange, and it was bothering her somehow. No matter how little she knew about her sister those actions weren't normal.

This leads her to believe that Toya had something else in mind. And for what that may be, she would soon find out.

Toya would no longer beat around the bush, she would soon say what she had wanted to say all night long.

And there it was, she begins to speak slowly. "Tsuky the reason why I came to you so late at night and talked about our wedding is because I.... The truth is I don't want to marry his highness prince Yukio." She said, and busted into tears again.

Tsuky hesitated for a while then responded." l see! You really don't want to marry him, but what I don't understand is why are you telling me this? When you should talk to his majesty, and ask him to cancel your marriage." The tone of her voice was indifferent the whole time.

Toya bit her lower lip, holding back her anger. If it wasn't for her determination in achieving her goal she would have cursed and yelled at Tsuky a long time ago. She really couldn't stand people ignoring her like that.

" Tsuky, you don't understand. Father won't help me with this. You know how important this marriage is to him, he would never cancel it." She said with tears rolling down her cheeks.

The marriage was really important, it could help their empire in a lot of way as the Northern Empire has the strongest military forces in the continent. But if Toya really wanted the marriage to be cancelled The Emperor would immediately agree. But no, Toya didn't want the marriage to be cancelled, she had something else in mind.

"Than what do you want me to do?" Tsuky said, playing along with her.

" Tsuky, l know what I am about to say may sound ridiculous, but please listen to me. Please ... you are the only hope l have left." She said with a desperate voice. " Please! Please Tsuky, switch places with me."
