LET ME TELL A STORY

The person who is sitting in front of me is Sir. NiKai Dionysus. Maybe he is someone whom I can't offend. It's been a long time since I heard about the Descendants of lord Dionysus. As far as I remember the last descendant of Dionysus died with his family committing a familicide, when I was 15 years old. But I am afraid, why there is a sudden appearance of the dead son of the last descendant of Dionysus. Why was he hiding his identity. Now I am totally scared to marry this man and entrust my two lovely daughters in his hands.

"Sir. NiKai Dionysus, I want to speak out my mind even if it's gonna hurt you a lot". "Don't worry about me, just speak out your mind lady. Scarlet. I like straight forward woman a lot than a submissive one". Is this guy a born womaniser?, his words creeps me even more. "See, Sir. NiKai Dionysus, I am still not aware of your identity and I can't entrust my two daughters in your hand". "So, a marriage proposal from you is not valid at all. I am sorry if I have hurt your feelings". Even though I have lot of experience in denying marriage proposals, this denial made me nervous for some reason. Now I think after a deep observation, that Sir. NiKai Dionysus do look familiar and not only familiar, but he also resemble someone I know. Agh! I could not remember who it is, maybe he was not that important?. But why do I sense a familiarity and love towards him? it might be my lust desires for handsome men, MAYBE!!. Hey! Don't get me wrong. Even I had a  very handsome husband, But he died young. Poor him!

"Well, Lady. Scarlet Athena, you mean this is the reason why you denied my proposal?" he asked me with a sarcastic look. What is there to be proud of while asking this question?. weirdo. "Yes" I replied to his very proud question. " Haha! fine". " Now I'll justify my answer for your question and then you should justify a answer for my question. Deal?". This guy is not testing me for wife material, But he is testing my patience. But there is nothing I can do about it. Just be calm until he leaves me with nothing from me. No pain, No gain.

"Lady. Scarlet, you are well aware that the last descendant of Dionysus died with is family in a familicide, right?". " Yea". "But there was a rumour spreading out like a virus. Have you ever heard of that rumour" I stared at him. " Don't tell me that the rumour about the sudden disappearance of the corpse of the last descendant's son before their familicide action is related to you?" I stared at him in disbelief. "Yes, lady. Scarlet, you are absolutely right" then he continued speak. " As I was telling, the rumour is true. I didn't die entirely nor survived entirely. It was a  situation of life and death. But lucky I survived while, my entire family died for an unknown reason. I am not sure of the details because I was fighting for my life in dead bed". "Then how did you hid your identity?" he wasn't surprised about my question and enthusiasm, maybe everyone who heard about his life were very curious about him, like how I am now. " Well, It was difficult for me to escape from my home because the Manor was surrounded by public and guards, who are still thinking I am dead. But I managed to escape with the help of my mom's personal maid, Who took care of me when I was recovering". "So, that's how you escaped and settled in another kingdom?". "Yes, Lady. Scarlet". I felt pity about his situation but it's still a NO for the marriage proposal!. " So, it's my turn to ask you a question". I felt chill in my spine even before the question was asked. " As far as I know about this world, god and goddess names belong to the noble. Yeah, I know you are from a noble family, But the question is why the family name Athena suddenly appeared after losing it's family name continuation when the last descendant of Athena married the Queen of FENIKS?". I stared at him in hesitation. " Sir. NiKai Dionysus, I think you misunderstood something. I ---" " Don't avoid my question Lady. Scarlet. Tit for Tat. That is how I play with my opponent. So, just answer the question. You said you won't marry a person with unknown history. Now, tell me, who is having a mysterious background?". 

I am stuck now. What should I do now. If this piece of information goes out people might dig into my past which is still a mystery to me. Then let me handle this situation in my way. " I don't know why I feel a sense of familiarity with you Sir.  NiKai Dionysus. But let me tell a story that know one knows except the loyal people who survived and lived by my side" I felt the heavy dazzling yellow eyes set on me. The same way my husband set his eyes on me. Weird. " I am all ears, Lady. Scarlet". I lifted my head with grace as a lady and set my eyes straight and took a peek at the piercing eyes that wanted to know me more. It's better to deal my issue within my manor than making a fuss in the public.

" Once upon a time there was a powerful and beautiful kingdom, isolated from others, rested in a quiet and fertile area where no greedy hands can touch it. The kingdom was filled with beautiful people with beautiful heart. It is expected of that kingdom because it was ruled by the very generous Queen Isabella Feniks. Yeah, that dazzling kingdom full of fantasy and magic was FENIKS!......."
