~It's always the things we love that destroys us~

"Because I hate her the most"

"Why? She's your sister, why would you even hate on her?"

"Well I think that's the very reason" said Vanessa.

"She was grown up with love and praises. She had beauty and was appreciated by everyone."
"In the end she was crowned and she owned everything and I? Do you know what was I? I was her shadow... Like every time!" Vanessa chuckled.

"Now tell me why would I be even noticed in front of her. Sometimes I really wished if she was gone how easy us siblings life would have been"

"Do you even know what are you spouting out? Siblings bond is real special. Yes we fight like cats and dogs but in the end we know that we are the only ones who would be with eachother. Sticking by eachother. She was being good to you and you?"

"Yes, you're right, she was good to me, that's what everyone said but do you know the reality? NO. Were you the one living with her? No. Were you the one to face everything? No. She had a bad habit-

' "Lady Vanessa, you won't believe what I heard today" said the royal maid.
"What? What is it auntie?"

"I heard that the king has ordered that soon you'll get married"

"Oh, really auntie?" Vanessa said blushing.

"C'mon let's go to the park he's painting out there"

"Auntie,I can't see him"

"See, he's the boy you'll be getting married to" the royal maid said pointing towards a young man in his 20s.

"He's so handsome" Vanessa whispered.

"Yes, you know he is the son of Jeon family. I don't remember if he have siblings or not but what I'm sure is that he'll be inheriting everything. His name is JEON JEONGUKK"

"Wow I'm going to marry such a handsome man. Flower, flower ..give me a flower auntie hurryyy!!!!"
"Aish, young love these days. Here you go Lady Vanessa" said the maid while handing her a rose and watching her running away to the man of her dreams.

"M-mr.? Please accept this" the sweet girl said.

"Oh? Thank you so much cutie" the young man smiled watching the little girl running away.

"I'll be the best bride ever. Just wait for me mr. handsome" the innocent girl said to herself without knowing what the future beholds.

"Bora my dear child, I have something to talk to you"

"Yes father" said Bora.

"My child I need to set marriage of any of my daughter to this fine man. He is the son of King Jeon, Jeon Jeongukk. I'm thinking Vanessa can be the one for him."

"Father, thank you very much for that. I was afraid as to how would I confront you that I like a man and wish to marry him but you made it simpler for me"
