I'll Protect My Family

My hands are tied with a rope. Two royal guards are escorting me. In front of me is waiting my death. This is the gift from the man whom I loved for ten years. The Emperor of Vascotine, Lennox De O’brien. Yes, today is my public execution. And my crime is trying to assassinate a royal family member.

The place where I'll be executed is cold and dirty. A big crowded place. Where the whole country will be watching me and gossip loudly as possible. As the two guards escorting me in front of the guillotine,the large crowd started shouting, "Look!!! The witch is here!." "Kill her", "kill her". The large crowd started throwing stones and cursing me for being vicious and evil. But I don't care these things. I was looking for the man who gifted me such a precious gift.

As I looked at the outside castle. A man cold but charming was seating in the dazzling seat of the emperor's. Eyes as golden as gold which is the proof for being a royal, and hair is as silver as the silver lining of the clouds. A fair complexion, which is pure white. A tall and handsome young man of every noble lady's dream. He's looking at me in a cold gaze with a cold smile,as he's enjoying the scenery. Those cold gazes are quite unfamiliar because once they were filled with warmth and love.

Beside the Emperor she is seating quite comfortably. She is none other than Ashley Val Ashleigh. She is the emperors childhood sweetheart. The girl who I was replacing.Eyes green as emerald and black hair as the night full of starts,fair and beautiful. She is seating on the empress's seat. Watching me being pitiful. She's enjoying the scenery as much as she can. Trying to hide her laughter.

"Huh, how laughable!!". Is what I was thinking. As they placed my head in the guillotine. I laughted. Laughted my last laugh. "hah,haah,haaah,ha". I told the cold emperor. "If there is a God, and watching your vicious deeds. If there is a second chance I will take revenge for house Lancaster". After saying those words everything went blank in front of my eyes.

"It's warm". "Where am I?" "Ah, I want to stay here forever".

It's pitch black.There's no light. A warm and gentle feeling. It's making me feel safe. "Why can't I open my eyes?". "Huh, where's that light coming from?". Suddenly a light from nowhere showed up. There's a crying voice as soon as I woke up. "Huh! I'm crying? Why am I crying?". "Congratulations, Duchess you've given birth to a sweet little girl". "How's my daughter?". "Don't worry Duchess! She is healthy and fine." "Wait, what the hell is going on? Why I'm so small? and who's the woman carring me?".The woman carried me away and gave me to someone. When I again opend my eyes, I was shocked. My father, he was carrying me with his warm hands. After seeing my father I started crying. I cried of joy. I missed him so much.

"Honey, why are you scaring our daughter?"

When I looked towards where the way the familiar voice was coming from. I saw my mother. My mother, who loved me dearly sacrificed her life for the sake of her daughter. The unworthy daughter was me. After seeing her again, I cried even harder. My father hurriedly took me to my mother. My mother embraced me. I fall asleep in her warm embrace.

"My sweet daughter!! sleep tight! you're your father's precious daughter.Edith Van Lancaster"

...After few days, I'm able to understand that I've been reborn as a baby again. The God is indeed merciful. This time I'll protect my family from the crown prince. I'll protect my family....
