A/N: The title is in honor of Princess Crystal because, I mean, really, what is her problem.
After a month of staying in Liberty Manse my heart longed to go back home. My bags were packed and I had already called in a car to take me home, regardless of whether Augustus was coming along with me or not. I need to go back home to sort my problems out. I can't go on avoiding them forever.
Unfortunately for me, my 21st birthday, which is in 2 months, is also the day that my parents choose who I must marry.
I walked down the long hallways of the Liberty Manse and was almost at the grand doors to exit when I heard someone calling my name.
"Crystal! Crystal! Wait up!" I slightly turned around before feeling the strongest impact on my body and then.... on my lips. A bruising, brutal, and passionate kiss was taking me over. He held my shoulders with his hands and my mind with his lips.
After the initial shock, I found myself returning the passionate kiss and locking myself with him. I snaked one arm around his broad back and the other around his nape. My fingers started grabbing and circling his hair. With no breath left he pulled out of the kiss and rested his head on my shoulder, his breathing hitched and heavy. My lips were numb and were tingling from coming back to life. I found myself missing his lips on mine in the heat of the moment.
"....Keith...." I slowly stated, tuning my head towards his resting one.
"I love you, Crystal. I always have and, I promise you, I always will. It started when we were innocent children, playing together. And it truly sparked when we were teens, hanging out with everyone and occasionally alone. And now, it's grown into something uncontrollable and impulsive. I can't hold back any longer and I refuse to. If you can honestly say that you don't love me, I'll leave you alone. But if you say you love me I promise, I'll never leave you and I'll never let you go."
Wide-eyed, I felt tears starting to well and roll down my face. We stared straight into each others eyes, before I slowly shut mine and turned around to continue walking down the hallway and exiting his mansion, his kingdom,
and....
his life.
I didn't have to look back to know that he wasn't following me, and that he was blankly staring at my back, watching me leave, with the click of my heels fading in the distance.
Keith's POV:
A ripping, tearing sensation in my heart after I confessed my eternal love for her. A cruel woman, and yet, somehow and someway, I love her with all my being. She never said she loved me, and she never said she didn't.
Crystal's POV:
The ride home was brutal. Having to sit there and just mellow in my own depressing thoughts. At this point I didn't know whom I loved, or what I wanted. All I knew was that I needed some space from everybody for a while.
When the car arrived at the mansion, nobody was there to greet me and nobody seemed to care of my existence. This is how my family has always been: neglectful with unreasonable expectations.
I got out of the car and walked into the mansion while our servants took care of my things. When I got inside I could hear voices coming from the throne room. They were soft and calm, but still, barely audible. I recognized two of the voices, being my mother and father, but there seemed to be a third one that I couldn't quite make out.
I continued walking down the ornate hall towards the room and leaned my ear against the wall.
"Please, your majesty. I would be honored if you would allow me to have your daughter's hand in marriage." Marriage?!?!?! What the hell!?! My fists balled as I contemplated who it could possibly be. Either Roberto or Keith. Although, I would never assume that either one would be so low as to go behind my back to marry me.
"Of course, we would be honored to have Altaria partner with Artesia. You're dismissed now." Roberto? What? The once sweet and loving man has now turned against me? How could he do this to me?!?
I see the doors open and a smiling Roberto walks out. I retract from the wall and walk over to him. When he sees me, his face contorts into an ugly smug expression.
Suddenly, almost instinctually, my hand flies across my body and bitch slaps him across the face with all of the force that I could manage to muster up in the heat of the moment. All he does is stare at me, and all I can do is stare at the burning red mark on his face that I created. My mood had altered from depressed to enraged in a matter of seconds, although I appeared calm on the outside. His face began to smile again after a few seconds.
"I thought that we cut off this relationship, Roberto." I just stared at the buttons of his shirt as he stood in front of me.
"No, dear. That wasn't mutual. I was hoping that my letter of apology could have soothed your anger towards me, but it seems as though you didn't make the deadline. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands." I looked back up at his face with a soft expression even though I was on the brink of a breakdown.
"Roberto, I don't love you anymore. I love someone else now. I love....
Keith."
"That's unfortunate for you because you will be married to me on your 21st birthday, and you will bear my heirs."
"What have you even become!!! You- You- YOU MONSTER!!!!!! I fucking hate you!!!!" I ended up hitting him again so hard that he came crashing down to the floor and held his face in his hand, trying not to cry from the immense pain I had caused him.
"Do you feel better now, Crystal?" He said when suddenly the throne room doors busted open and my parents emerged. They stared at the scene laid out in front of them. Me, standing over Roberto with my fists balled, and him, sitting on the floor with his face contorted and crouched into his hand.
"Crystal, what is wrong with you!!! What have you done!!"
"Darling, why can't you ever just act like a lady? Just once?"
My mother, always calm and collected stood slightly behind my father, and my father was rash and completely unbearable as he yelled insults and rejections at the top of his lungs right in front of Roberto.
"Listen, Roberto. I never want to see you again. Don't talk to me, don't look at me, don't say my name, and don't even breathe the same air as me!!!! I hate you!!" I ran to my room and cried the consciousness out of me.
A/N: So... Crystal is bipolar as fuck, Roberto is the most OOC I've ever written in my life, and I honestly have no idea of what I'm writing anymore. I promise the angst is almost over, just bear with me for a few more chapters. Alrighty! Bye!
