In the end I alone am the cursed one
Athanasia could admit she wasn't always like this. She was once good and no one could ever deny her of such. She was once shy and timid but also kind to everyone even the ones who scorned her, her heart was once filled with kindness and not vengefulness. But the more she lived the colder her heart became
In her first life she remembered it to be peaceful and lonely, she was born in the ruby palace and was abandoned by her father who wasn't married or had any other child, she met him when she was nine during the night of her birthday and never again until her debunte where Jeannette was introduced, while she continued being abandoned and lonely, Jeanette quickly rose as the emperor's favored daughter.
Athanasia continued being abandoned princess not being anyone's first choice and clouding everyone lives with her timid presence, except of resenting Jeanette and hating for having everything she ever wanted, Athanasia accepted her sister and taught her the ways of the imperial palace and formed a loving relationship with her sister until she was accused for the attempt murder of Jeannette
Of course Athanasia didn't do it, she could never hurt her sister as she knows her head would be on a spike if she dared to. Athanasia will admit she did envy Jeanette but she would never take her life away over it, if she knew the tea was poisoned she would drink it herself. No one believed her other than lily, everyone believed she poisoned Jeanette and in the end she was executed with no trial. she like to consider her death peaceful, she barely felt any pain from noose only discomfort, when she woke up she was only a soul with no body along with her mother who was weeping muttering apologies, they couldn't do anything but watch as the people smear her name until they watched the empire fall
In her second life Athanasia did not feel terror of returning back time, she felt determine to change her fate and the fate of the empire who smeared her name. Foolishly she didn't accept her father's hatred. Athanasia couldn't resent him for killing her when he only assumed she poisoned Jeanette since she had everything Athanasia ever wanted, therefore as a fool she forgave Claude and worked harder for his favor, they met again when she was nine and unlike her past life, she visited him everyday to bond with him, but every visit only left her with tears, he despised her existence and was very vocal about it, Claude belittle her existence, her dresses, her common blood, including her appearance, he made her feel ugly and unworthy to be considered a princess
