Listless Princess

Chapter 2

This isn't the first time I stood in front of this huge blade. At first look, it may seem clean since it hasn't been used, since it was never used to execute high rate criminals, rather they were hanged by a sharp rope after their body was hanged in front of the palace gates.

However, I was an exception. This was always used for me every time I get executed and I can feel this blade sucking off my blood. I don't know what happened to my head after that. Perhaps it was hanged for everybody to see.

You may as well be asking why I said 'every time I get executed' is because it's not my first time which is a fact for my mentality at least.

No one knows.

That my life gets a reset every time it's a game over.

I've been playing this game life of mine for over centuries that I lost count of how many times I died.

That's why I'm being a playful psycho right now. I die in the end anyway so what's the use of begging for my life.

I did try killing Jennette in many of my lives but my ending stays the same.

Death.

"Well, care to assist me?" I cheerfully said as I held the rope connected to the blade. "How wonderful" I got excited at the thought of feeling that sensation through my skin again.

"Come on, what's the lag, hurry up and help me cut this rope," I growled.

But no one listened, their actions were stopped by the emperor's command saying he wants to listen to me one more time.

"What now, your majesty?" I spoke lifting my chin to look down on him.

Hearing the whispers from the crowd didn't bother me at all. It's just they were saying how "Just how much she resembles his majesty"

"Even his cold attitude"

"The way they look at people"

"It's the same"

The Duke interrupts with a loud bark, "Your Majesty, what's the lag? This vile woman is clearly dangerous to be left alone" He protested so much however the emperor didn't bother to listen he was looking at me,

"Father, please don't kill sister"

Argh her again? I really hate it when she speaks about me and calls me 'sister'

"Stop yapping around Claude's dear Jennette, I'm not your sister..." I said with an annoyed expression,

I even clicked my tongue to express how irritating she was, she replied with a face full of confusion.

As innocent as ever, dear Jennette

"Athanasia"

Speak of the devil he was still there?

Claude spoke my name as if it was normal for him to say that.

"What did you mean by 'my brother'?" He questioned.

"I am not obliged to respond to that, Your Majesty" I replied in a cold tone looking away from his glare.

I opened my mouth once more, "So can you please, end my suffering now?"

"Proceed with the execution," he said.
