Kevin was walking behind Rose when he realized that he accidentally brought his mother's handkerchief with him so he went back inside to return it to her. When he got inside the dining room, he heard noises. He stood there in shock to see the king of Sophiesia trying to harm his mother.
"Stop!" She yelled but none of the guards or maids dared to even move an inch or even look at her. "Please...help!" She yelled again but all of them just stayed silent. Kevin's hands began to tremble and he watched it all in horror. He just watched his mother crying and yelling for help but he was not able to do anything.
The king was trying to use her for his needs and she was trying her best to protect herself. He tried to force himself on her and was about to reach for the hook on her dress when he heard something fall. He quickly looked behind but saw no one. He just saw the huge vase fallen on the ground.
Thinking that it was the perfect time, the queen ran away from there and hid inside one of the rooms. She was panting heavily and was crying badly. She clutched her dress and slid down the door of the room.
Kevin ran outside and he was crying too. He suddenly lost his balance and tripped on the ground. "Ow!" He hissed in pain and looked at his knee which started bleeding. "Are you ok?" He heard a girl's voice and looked up. She bent down on his level and tied a cloth on his knee. "You will be fine now." She smiled at him and lend her hand for him to take and stand up.
For a moment, he forgot every pain which he was feeling. He got lost in her eyes. Her hairs were flowing like threads of silk, her soft eyes and kind acts were all making him feel like as if he just saw a goddess. He slowly took her hand and stood back up.
"I'm princess Claire from Andria." She introduced herself. "I'm prince Kevin of Sinsila." He gave her a small smile. He looked other royal kids there too and soon he got lost in his own world while playing with them. He was constantly paying attention to each and every small detail of Claire's behavior.
The way she loved playing with a little paper butterfly, her love for paintings, her smile which was brighter than the sun itself and all of her other qualities made his heart flutter for the very first time. That day he decided that she is the girl he loves and will marry once he gets older. She was the one who instantly made him forget his pain and made him smile.
Later in the evening, the queen and Kevin were on their way back to Sinsila. The queen was awfully quiet and was clutching her dress the whole time. Her face lost all the colors and she was seeming to be very scared. Kevin noticed it and suddenly remembered what he saw in that dining room. He clutched his fists and promised himself to take the revenge for his mother's pain.
A few days passed and once again Kevin was roaming around the castle, looking for his mother. "Mother~" He called her in a cheerful voice. He just made a little bracelet for Elena and he wanted to show that to her. He was in the hall when he saw his father. He was about to go to him but the next thing which he saw made him stop on his tracks.
His father just slapped his mother. He was shocked to see that behavior. He gathered his courage and took steps towards him but then he saw him choking her. "Why?! Why did you betray your morals?!" He heard him yell at her. "I didn't--" It was getting hard for her to breath. "My guards told me that you tried to get intimate with the king of Sophiesia and you want me to believe you!?" He yelled again making Kevin flinch and he hid behind a pillar.
"You have always been so proud of your beauty. You just want everyone to pay attention to you!" He held her neck tighter. "I n-never--" Her face started to get red and she was struggling to breath. Her hand unconsciously went to her belly and she wanted to tell him to stop but even breathing was becoming difficult for her.
He harshly left her making her fall on the ground gasping for air. She coughed and tried to breath properly. "I can't believe that a lady like you is my queen." He said and took out his sword. "It will be much better if I get rid of you here right now." Her eyes widened on what he just said. "NO!" She yelled but it was too late, he already stabbed her right in the stomach making blood come from her mouth.
She clutched her stomach tightly. "My daughter...." These were the words which she said before the wound got deeper making her lose her breath and consciousness. She was no longer able to keep her eyes open and finally took her last breath.
Kevin's face also had a little splatter of her blood on his cheek. He felt that his heart was about to pump out of his chest. He began trembling badly and ran away from there to his room and locked himself inside. He began crying loudly, messing up his whole room. "MOTHER!!!" He yelled and sat on the ground, crying his heart out.
He was flipping all of things all around the room. Suddenly he saw that drawing he made of his 'sweet and happy family'. He picked it up and looked at it in rage. He tore off his father from that picture and threw it outside of the window. "You will never be a part of my family. You are not my family anymore!" He yelled and tried to control his tears which were falling uncontrollably.
The very next day, a funeral was organized for the late queen. All the castle workers who witnessed that incident were executed by the king to prevent this secret from coming out. He told everyone that it was an intruder who did that to the queen and he has been caught and punished as well. Nobody knew the truth of the queen's passing away except Kevin.
He was also standing there with a blank face, looking at his mother's lifeless body being buried and the priest reciting the prayers. He promised himself that he will not cry anymore and will avenge his mother's and sister's death. He promised himself that he will take revenge from each and every person who made his mother suffer. He promised himself to make all those people bleed to death who made his mother cry. He wanted to take the revenge of each and every tear that left his mother's eye.
He was looking down the whole time, fighting his tears which were threatening to fall out. He looked up and saw that the king was crying as well. "All for the sake of some sympathy..." He whispered to himself and went back inside once all the rituals were over.
He was sitting in his room when he heard a knock on the door. "Come in." He said and saw his father coming inside. "Kevin...I know that you must be feeling very upset now but I have an important news to tell you." He said and Kevin looked at him with no emotions. "Bring her here." He said and the lady who worked as their astrologer came inside with a girl standing behind her. She seemed scared and was hiding behind the lady the whole time.
"She is Julia and she is your sister from now on." The king said making Kevin shocked. He felt rage building up inside him. "She!? My sister?!" He was in disbelief but the king kept his hand on his shoulder. "I know it will take time but you will eventually get over it." He said and went out of the room.
Days passed by and Kevin was starting to get irritated by Julia more and more. He was not able to digest the fact that he now had a new girl in the castle who was his 'sister'. He developed a strange hate towards her because he felt her taking the place of Elena in his life. He wanted to see Elena in her place and was getting enraged by her presence around him.
He was walking back to his room after eating his lunch when he saw Julia standing near his table. He ignored her and decided to go to his bed but then his eyes landed on her holding that bracelet which he made for Elena. He went to her and snatched it from her hands. "Who gave you the permission to touch my things?!" He yelled at her.
He lost control over himself and smashed a vase kept near him on her head making a cut near her eyelid. He was sent to dungeon for his deed. He was sitting there in complete silence just looking at that bracelet. He felt tears build up but he held them back.
"I'm sorry....but you can never take the place of my sister...NEVER!!"
