1 days later:
Both raine and Eda were in the library. Raine was reading this book called heroes of Olympus: the lost hero. They really seemed to really love those fantasy books.
"Raine?" Eda said softly.
"Yes princess?" They replied, turning over the page.
"Do you only ever read Rick Riordan?" Eda asked.( rick Riordan is the author for those who don't know)
"No, I read other books" they smiled softly. "Why?"
"I dunno, just bored." Eda sighed.
"Well you could pick up a book-"
"Can you let my sister out of that prison?" Eda blurted.
Raine chuckled softly. "I'll have some guards get her in the morning, she's probably sleeping right now."
Eda nodded. She missed her sister.
"Either she's gonna kill me when she gets out or be super happy I'm not living in poverty anymore." Eda yawned.
"Well you should sleep" raine smiled, setting down their book. "I can tell you're tired.
"Fine, but when is the wedding happening?" Eda asked
"That's entirely up to you" raine said. "Though sooner is better than later."
Eda stood up and walked to the door.
"Night" raine said as she walked out.
Eda walked through the long halls. Her room was in the west wing so it took a while to get there. When eda had agreed to marry raine, they gave her more freedom to roam the castle, she also had the will to open her windows and not have guards around her 24/7. Which really was a score. When she finally got to her bedroom, she headed to the bathroom that was connected and turned on the shower.
She went to go grab some pjs and went back in. Obviously she then had a shower. The hot water steamed around her body and seeped through her hair. It was almost as nice as when raine holds her close to them.
Eventually she hopped out and put on a pair of black silk shorts and a black button up pajama shirt.

Then she crawled into bed and went to bed.

Charlotte's timid voice awoke Eda from her slumber.
"Eda, you're wanted by your fiancé. They say its urgent." She said
Eda opened the door and yawned.
"What's going on?"
"Get changed and then I'll explain" she sighed.
So eda quickly changed into a dusty brown gown with a white underlayer and under shirt. And a pair of black button up boots.

She then left for the thrown room.
"What do you mean she's not there anymore!?" She heard raine shout.
"W-well, yesterday we found her dead...we were gonna come to you- this morning she wasn't there!" A small female guard squeaked.
"What's happened?" Eda asked, coming into the room.
Both raine and the girl stayed silent
"Well, go on! Tell her!" Raine demanded
"Uh...m-miss your sister-" she started
"What's happened to my sister!?" Eda interrupted, walking over to raine.
"S-she..she went missing..." The girl mumbled. "After we found her dead..."
"This is a joke right? Sh-shes- no she can't be dead...right?" Eda said frantically. "Raine what happened to her?"
"According to the girl she refused to eat or drink, leading to her dying of starvation and/or dehydration." They said, glaring daggers at the small girl.
"Was anyone incharge of her?" Eda asked the girl.
The girl nodded. "There was Darius deamonne a-and um there was also a new guard called Jason grace, they uh...he was found dead outside her cell..." The girl said. (definitely not a pjo character and reference)
Eda looked at raine and then back at the girl. "You're positive?"
The girl nodded. "Yes miss"
"Okay...what's your name? And were were you when this happened?" Eda demanded.
"My name is Maria, and it was my day off yesterday." The girl who was now known as maria said.
"Raine, do you know if that's true?" Eda said, her voice a bit shaky as the information sunk in.
Raine nodded. "She came to me before you woke up, making sure I didn't need her."
"Do you think you'd be able to find my sisters body?" Eda mumbled.
"I can't say for sure...but we could try" maria said.
She nodded. "Just try your best"
"You're dismissed" raine said to maria.
Maria nodded and left the room. Then eda turned to raine.
"Princess?" They whispered.
"Yes?"
"You okay? I mean you just found out that your sister-" they started nervously.
"Don't... Just don't." Eda whispered.
"Eda I'm so sorry..."
"That's okay...you just have to keep...have to keep moving...forward..." Eda said unsteadily.
"Eda-"
"I'm fine! Really!" Eda said. "I just want to be left alone for a little while..."
Raine nodded and kissed her cheek. "Take all the time you need."
Eda then left for her room. Once she closed the door to her room she walked over to her bed and pulled out a tiny dagger from under her pillow.
She looked at her forearm then looked away as she sliced through the skin. Blood fell onto the bed and pillows. She looked at her arm and saw all her old tiny white scars, barely noticeable on her skin. Then she looked at the cut she made. After two years she actually had a relapse... She then cut her skin again.
Then again.
Then again.
