The one you had thrown away //WMMAP//

Prologue

I stood silent as I saw His Majesty watched mesmerized by the new dancer named Diana. I can feel my heart slowly breaking as I saw how he looked at her like how he looked at me, no, stronger than how he looked at me. Such adoration and hope was seen present in his eyes. I felt envy for the girl. She was able to bring such strong emotions out of him even though they had just met. The years I've been with Claude since childhood had been thrown to the drain. The effort I had given for him to love me, he ended up loving someone else far more than he loved me.

Why did it had come to this? The Empress chair that I sat on besides His Highness felt like a chain wrapping around my neck. It suddenly felt like a burden.

It had been a few months since Diana had joined the harem. Like i had feared, I was neglected. It had been around 3 months since he had visited me, and the last time he did, it was only to relief his lust. I wasn't stupid, I know he had been visiting Diana on most of his free time. I see how the servants in my palace pity me. The maids that is close to me felt hatred towards the so called husband of mine. I cannot say I don't feel the same. He had thrown me away like I was someone who doesn't have any significant meaning towards him.

God had blessed me by Felix presence. He had been visiting me for a while. I felt touched to know that he still hadn't forgotten about me.

Contrarily to other's expectations, me and Diana had become good friends. It wasn't her fault that His Highness fell for her. Rather, I know why he loved her more than he loved me. Her honey blonde locks reflected the sun and her beautiful, kind pink eyes felt like she's pulling you towards her. She was soft spoken and free. I had known from the very moment I saw her that she had never taken one's life before.

Everything about her screamed of freedom and hope.

Unlike me, who's hair is midnight blue, that looks dull in the sunlight. My amethyst eyes held power and authority instead of kindness. I know of bloodshed. I had taken one's life before and I had seen the cruelty of the world. I was a knight, a magician.

Nothing about me compares to how innocent she is.

I know I can never win against her in terms of Claude's affection.

Which is why I hide that I am pregnant with his child.
