Second to the 7th Prince

2~

As I opened the door I expected a greeting from my brother and possibly my father but yet again no one was present for dinner. Father and mother have always forgotten of my existence and put more care into my brother. O f course I'm happy he is being respected and loved but I want that as well. Today was supposed to be special I was going to tell father about my books and how I was excelling the courses he wanted me to take but no one is here. At the same time I am worried because my brother usually is the first one here so I can't help but to feel weird about today. 

"Princess we are so sorry your brother has fallen ill and we will have to wait for the doctors therefore the Emperor can not make it to today's diner," said one of my father's servants.

"Is my brother going to be alright?" I asked with a frightened tone. My body suddenly stiffened and my heart felt heavy. The maids and my father's servants were talking to me but it felt like I couldn't hear him. I was scared because my other half was sick and I didn't know what was going on. I dropped and somehow deep inside me my fear was loosing the most important person in my life. My twin brother meant everything to me and it just felt so surreal he's sick... I couldn't even protect him from getting sick. 

Flashback~

"What is wrong with you? Why did you two have to be twins when you can't even protect your brother?!! You're a useless daughter I will make sure no one will ever see you!!" yelled my mother. Of course everyone knew my mother had a temper especially since she is the Empress. However, as a 3 year old I couldn't do anything about the fact that my brother had fallen from the stairs. She raised her hand to hit me and someone stops her. 

"Just what do you think you're doing Empress?" Duke Alexander spoke with such a stern look on his face. Luke tapped my shoulder and offered his hand. I took it and so did he not before hearing his dad tell my mother some important things.

"Just because you only birthed boys and she is your only daughter doesn't mean you can abuse her like that. If the Emperor is happy his favorite lover finally had a son princess Delphina shouldn't be the one to blame!" he tells her with a stern yet soft voice. 

End of Flashback~

I can't stop crying and it starting to get even heavier and harder for me to breathe. I clench my fist and hold them near my chest. I feel someone grab me and then eventually I fall asleep while someone is petting my hair.
