Sol Ah's P.O.V

It was the day,the big day, Empress mentioned earlier.

It's a day,where I am going to be named as the next one to inherit the crown.

The crown thing wasn't something which mattered.

The thing which matters to me right now is Hye Jin.

Hye Jin,the one who would go to any ends to keep the crown for herself.

I am pretty sure she has got some shitty plan out there to meddle in this ceremony.

I don't want this chance of inheriting the crown,as this makes my work a lot easier.

                           ......

I looked at the big mirror,my reflection on it infront of me.

My face held a blank emotion as the dress revealed the scars on my back.

It was the scars I received when I turned 6 years old,and then it continued I recieved each and every smack on my back after that.

It still looked fresh, it haunts me, it's my weakness, it reminds me of how dreadful was past and how weak was my past self which couldn't even protect herself.

My blue eyes shifted from my own reflection to the figure standing next to the door as I abruptly turned towards the figure not wanting to show my scars to the particular person.

There she stood,my bestfriend. Yeunha.

She walked inside,towards me as I stood up.

"What was that?" She asked her voice a low whisper which could be barely heard as I shook my head.

"Nothing,Just some random thing,now lets get going, we are getting late." I replied to see her reaction turn into stern one.

She held me by my shoulders, turning me around out of nowhere so that my back would face her.

I mentally rolled my eyes but I didn't get any response in return as I slowly turned back to see.

She was crying. Tears were leaving her eyes silently, she stood there with blank face still processing,her eyes shedding tears without her permission. 

She looked at me, her black eyes stared at my blue ones as she spoke,"When?"

"Since I turned 6,late at nights.."

Her palm went to cover her mouth as she gasped.

"Why didn't y-"

"I didn't wanted to Yeunha. And now we have nothing in between us to talk about my scars, remember?"

I said with blank face,even though how badly I wanted to say her that it still hurts, that the empress hurted me so much.

I wanna throw myself into her arms and cry my eyes out cause I am exhausted.

But,no.

I am not going to let myself be weak infront of others.

I looked at her with blank face as she wipes her tears,her eyes still glossy as we both walk out of the room.

My heels clicked at the marble floor, as people went aside,as me and Yeunha made our way towards the throne where the three sisters stood.

One with huge smile,other with proud face,while other with pure hatred.

I internally smirked seeing,Hye Jin
with pure hatred written on her face as she glared at me secretly.

My eyes went all around the hall, people staring at me with small smiles, all the people present there were mafia's, politicians, assassin's and many others who worked under our empire.

Some hated me, some were jealous of me,some were in pure shock,some were happy.

I was the only one with a blank face,not wanting to show my feelings.

Feelings aren't in my vocabulary

After a long time which felt like eternity I reached the throne as I now noticed the Jang sister's father, I didn't see him till today,I didn't even know that he actually existed.

My right side was the other two sisters, my left side was Yeon Wu and Chan Seong,not gonna lie,he was looking dashingly handsome in that black tuxedo suit.

My eyes now went to the person beside me,having the crown in her hands, Hye Jin.

I side eyed her as Mr.Jang (father of Jang sisters) started giving his speech on his Mafia empire and the persons who inherited the crown from generations.

Soon after he finished his speech,gasps were heard as everyone started panicking.

The power went off.

Whole hall was dark,as everyone started running here and there, making a chaos.

I rubbed my temples in frustrated manner but kept a calm face as I moved towards the mic.

"I expect you all to be silent in this moment, we are sorry for the inconvenience"

My voice boomed through the hall followed by dead silence.

After 5 minutes or so, we had the power come back but...

Hye Jin wasn't present there.

People started whispering things like "Did she run away?", "Ofcourse she will,I heard she hated Man Wol"

I smiled, I wanted to laugh so badly but held in.

I looked towards Yeon Wu with aa as he smirked back.

I signalled him to go as he nodded and bowed towards me before getting out of the hall.

"Where is Unnie?"

Empress spoke as I looked at her with fake concerned face.

"She ran away."

Juhee muttered as her blue eyes turned red in rage.

"Empress,Ms.Jang, please be calm we'll have our guys to find her."

Yeunha spoke as she was about to leave but stopped.

"No need. You all can stay and rest here. She is already caught"

Whispers stopped, everyone stood in silence once again as I got down from the thorn area and made my way through the hall.

Such a messy plan,Hye Jin
