3-- Serve or Die🗡

FLASHBACK💙

"No means no, do you have a death wish, if not then stop it already, because I surely don't have one." Eleanor cried while explaining Lylah for the umpteenth time.

"Ele, you know, I don't want to have dinner with him. Plus today.. "

"No, don't you even dare Lylah.. "

"Eleanor please try to understand, today's my chance on sneaking out. You know every Thursdays the front guard changes, and the new one always goes to deep slumber. This is my only chance in it, or else I have to wait for a whole new week. Please Ele.. Please.. "Lylah begged showing her big doe eyes, trying hard to convince Eleanor.

" If father finds about it, he'll definitely kill me and the most important thing, what will I tell the Prince. He would get angry himself, if he'll find out you just ditched him.. "Eleanor reasoned. Herself begging Lylah not to put her in such a situation all alone.

" Just tell him that I am sick and wants some rest.. He'll understand, hope so." She mumbled the last words to herself, but Eleanor heard it too.

"See.. You yourself don't have any idea how he'll react, and you are sending me inside the Lion's den all alone." Eleanor cried.

"Atleast he won't kill you, that's for sure. Afterall I think he's more interested in soil than swords. And yeah, you guys can talk about your hobbies like rock and soil.. " Lylah answered, her face brightened on thinking about this possibility.

God, just make that Felix fall in love with her. I don't want to get married this soon.

She thinks I am stupid. She is trying to set me up with that Prince
No way.. I won't help her out for sure.
Not this time.

"Lylah, I don't know about you, but I don't want to die at such a young age. So... Sorry I'm not with you in this stupid plan of yours." Eleanor stated firmly. It was clear from her side. She isn't the part of the plan. No means no, of course there's no in between.

"Is this how you'll serve to the person, who saved you from all the wraths of father, and fought with everyone to make sure you stay in this palace. Eleanor Ravenwood, it's your choice now... Serve or... Die. " Lylah spoke, in an authoritative voice. She knew Eleanor can say no to her sister but not to the Princess.

Eleanor just stared at her face for some seconds, a sad smile forming on her face, "As you wish, my Princess." A tear slipped from her left eye.

Lylah felt like someone pushed a sword right into her chest, seeing the tear drop fall to the ground.

I am selfish. I am not a curse breaker, I am a curse myself.

But the desperation to just get out of the palace, to live like a Normal girl for few hours pushed her go this far.

I am a lone person, I have no idea, how to convince a person. The only way I can get my work done is, to order like a Princess, then no one could deny it. I am a bad person...

"Just get dressed like me and try to avoid him for as long as you could, once he finds out try to manipulate him, just like you always do." Lylah explained the plan and sighed afterwards.
