Arc 1 - Marie the Lonely - Leave me be

Eleanora left her room, and she made a left to enter her pitiful little kitchen.

["I was too spoiled before...Always depending on maids"] She contemplated internally with apprehension

She gazed out the window lost in thought, she leaned against the rugged dining table. Her hands gripped it tightly.

Eleanora like all of the other Noble Wife's would be put into the shabby part of the palace, they had there separate little homes for privacy. The house she lived in felt as if it would fall apart at any moment.

She was given, obviously, food, books, and beauty care products. Despite the fact that attire wouldn't be given, most of the time, a portion of the Noble Wife's would need to utilize the fertile land close to there homes to plant vegetables.

At times it would be so bad to the point that the Emperor and Empress would completely forget about the other wives which led to their death.

Eleanora stretched and strolled toward the entryway leaving in a white long-sleeved silk dress, it was gifted by her father before he passed.

Right now she missed him more than anything...

She gazed at the trees, flowers, and the crystal lake.

["I guess I was favored a little, I didn't really appreciate the view until now..."

There was a small bridge that was built over the lake so individuals could travel every which way however they wanted.

Her white heels remained in the green grass as she stood a few feet from the lake, her eyes waited on the water.

["Just a couple more hours before the Emperor comes...then I will do what I should to maintain a strategic distance and avoid any interactions after that"]

Eleanora's eyes narrowed, she attempted her best to hold in the majority of the torment she felt.

"Why did they have to do that to me..? After all, they took..my ability to have children, my older sister, and the Emperor" She places her hand above her heart.

"Instead, I will let go, revenge never gains anything and in the end, I will be hurt even more, but instead I will try to be the best I can and escape this place!!"

She had a determined look in her eyes, her focus left the lake and onto the huge palace in the distance.

It was perfect!

My plan to avoid the Emperor would be absolutely wonderful! I wouldn't have to meet him in any way after this...

Because crazy women are ignored in the palace!

I grinned sharply as I poured myself a cup of tea, I extinguished the fire for the pot.

"He should be here in about 30 minutes..." I said looked out the window as the sun started to set

["The Emperor's heart was very easy to capture, now that I think about it..he asked me a simple question and I was actually quite frightened to answer it.."]

Sighing the memory soon appeared in my mind

("Do you think I'm a wicked person?" His voice was smooth and strikingly rough.

Eleanora had a flabbergasted expression, her eyes widened. Then her face softened into a glistening smile.

"How could I think you were a wicked person if I don't know you, you're Majesty? People could judge you from rumors and faceless actions, but no one would ever know the true you unless you allow them"

She said happily, staring at him directly in his dark blue eyes.)

Why did I say such a corny answer? (＾艸＾)

I chuckled to myself while gracefully taking a light sip of the tea I brewed.

"I should've said he was wicked and gullible..it wouldn't have mattered if he killed me or not, it was actually the definite truth" These words fell out of my mouth.

He was so sweet though, I'm a little excited to see him..weirdly

"THE EMPEROR HAS ARRIVED!" Two loud voices announced.

My heart started to beat faster and faster, if I didn't do this right, my peaceful death wouldn't be fulfilled!

I stood up quickly awaiting for him to enter.

"Greetings you're Majesty..." I curtsied, and I could feel his daggering icy blue eyes glaring at me. I raised my head to look at his annoyed face.

["Geez, I did not remember him being so angry...but he is still so handsome!! v(❆ڼ❆)v"]

"Hurry let's get this over with.." He pushed me aside and walked to the bedroom casually.

The view of his long charcoal colored hair flowed lightly and his aristocratic jacket made him look extravagant.

["...he smells really good..oh darling so sorry for what I'm about to do ⋋〳 ᵕ _ʖ ᵕ 〵⋌"]

I walked right from behind him and I purposely stepped on his long beautiful jacket

["Hopefully I'll have some blood come out for effe-"]

BOOM!!!!

Eleanora opened her eyes softly "AaaOowwwwwww..." she attempted to move yet her body wouldn't respond that quickly

["My plan is now in effect, but jeez I didn't expect to hit the floor that hard.."]

She squinted her eyes trying to soothe a portion of the weight from her temple. Eleanora looked to her side enjoying the perspective on the white silk curtains blowing from the delicate breezes.

The entryway opened and her gaze immediately moved toward that direction.

"You're awake!" He rushed over to her side

["Aww...my close friend Viscount Hervé, looks like you being a doctor came in handy for me!"]

"Who are you?" Eleanora innocently muttered Hervés' expression was shocked and hurt. "Are you my fairy!" Eleanora asked with a sweet smile

"Goodness god..oh no, no nooo!" Hervé started to pace forward and backward scratching at his blonde hair.

"Uh..excuse me fairy? How long have I been here?" Eleanora was able to sit up now, and oh how she was enjoying being crazy.

Hervé halted to take a gander at the young lady, who appeared to have a dumbfounded infantile look all over. He strolled over to the side of the bed again and got a seat.

"Eleanora are you certain you don't remember me?" He asked frantic and apprehensive

["I'm so sorry Hervé, however, this is so I can carry on with a decent life! ། ˵ ︣ ෴ ︣ ˵ །"]

"I'm so sorry mister fairy! I just can't seem to remember you're face..."
