Long ago in a far away place, there is a kingdom that no one would dare oppose. The ruler of that kingdom is a young peasant girl at only age of 16. The new queen ruled her kingdom fair and just, giving support and always puts others first before herself. She was once in love with a man from  the small neighboring blue kingdom, but seeing him in love with another girl from another neighboring kingdom, she decided to give him advice. "Just be yourself. If you want to show her that you love her very dearly, just start it out slow and steady and carefully build up from that relationship. Whatever you do, don't break her heart. If you do, she might never forgive you for it." She said to the man. Shocked from the kind heart of the queen, he followed her advice and soon, the two were together and formed a close friendship with the queen. "Thank you for your advice. We will always remember it for eternity." He told her, holding his new fiancé's hand.

The entire country she lived in never knew the corruption starting to seap into the queen's soul further and further, slowly turning her light into night... And her pure flower into a Corrupted Flower...

???'s POV:

Believe me, it's never easy being the queen. My brother became King with me, so we ruled two sides of the kingdom. He's the one doing things from outside our kingdom and help in trade and our best strategist whenever we have wars or incoming attacks coming from the other nations. I rule the inner part of our kingdom, giving support and helping our economy go up and beyond our state right now. The population is growing steady for now. I look over to my brother and he looked back at me before nodding seriously. I nodded back at him and one of our maids stepped in. "Excuse me Milady, but if it's not a trouble to you, may I ask for some advice?" She asked me. I looked at her before smiling. "What kind of advice?" I asked her. "Well... I saw this young man... He looks so handsome and kind... He comes from the red kingdom. I wanted to go out with him, but I'm not that confident. Any advice to gain back my confidence?" She explained. I cupped my chin in thought, then had an idea. "This worked for me once, so listen very carefully." I told her and she got closer to me as I whisper in her ear. "Make sure to pretend like he's someone you really looked up to and just try not to flirt to much. If you do that, the man you want to be with will simply push you away or not talk to you. Make sure you take things one step at a time and be yourself. Do what I say and the man will be willing to love you back." She nodded at my advice and she went back to her position. One of my ministers came in with the twins from the other lesser kingdom. Their hands were cuffed for some reason, so I stood up and walked towards them in a serious manner. "Milady, the royal guards caught these guys stealing our kingdom's gold!" He told me. I stared at them before sighing, shaking my head slowly and smiled gently. Seeing their tattered clothes and the way they look at me... I won't regret this decision. "Take them to my maids for a bath and give them some clothes to warm them up. Once done, bring them to me at 3:00 pm. I will talk to them personally during tea time. Treat them with kindness... And don't you DARE betray my trust. We don't want another repeat of the recent ones now do we...?" I said and threatened the guard. I walked back to my throne, not looking at his horror-stricken face. "Un-cuffed them at once...!" I strictly commanded without turning back around. I hear keys shuffling and unlocking. The twins looks at me once I turned back to them and sat on my throne. I smiled at them. "You don't need to be afraid anymore, you're safe now... You're both under my protection..." I said kindly to them. They smiled and nodded before following the guard. I secretly threw a small bottles message to the brother and he opened it on the way. Before the two left the room, however, they turned to me and nodded. Once they're gone, I waved my hand out an the door loocked itself. "Alone at last...!" I sighed, slumping over the throne. "Well done dear sister, I never would have thought you can take them in like that. If this keeps up I may as well make you one of my kind." He mused. My smile faltered before frowning.

"... No more tricks Réve. No one is around to stop our talk."

He smiled wickedly before everything around us went dark.

"... If you wish so..."
