The Tale of the Moon Princess [Yandere Prince x Princess Reader]

Chapter 9

*Slight warning- mentions of sexual acts and implied noncon acts are mentioned in the "retelling" of the memories - no scene is actually written out in detail though*

The demon had fallen asleep. I watched as he took slow, even breaths. Now's my chance. I can kill. End this and end him. I stood as slowly and as carefully as I could and slowly slid my feet, going over to the bed. I looked down at Kestik's...no, the demon's peaceful sleeping face. I took a deep breath and carefully unhooked my necklace. I held the locket in my hand and opened it slowly. The pink light slowly floated out and landed in my hands. I trembled a bit as I moved my hands over his chest, slowly lowering them to place the light upon it. In the blink of an eye I was face up on the bed; the demon was on top of me.

"What do you think you're doing?!" His voice had changed. It was no longer Kestik's voice. "That belongs to me." He looked at the pink light and it disappeared. "I wondered where it had gone..." He growled and dug his nails into my wrists as I struggled. "I do not care if you are our supposed future queen. You tried to kill me...I can sense it in your blackening heart. You set to kill me, not save him..." I laid still, realizing it was the truth. I tried to kill the demon...I did not even think about saving Kestik. "What a stupid king we have. You'll be dead before he gets to you. All he'll have will be the dark shell of what's left of the one he loved." My mind went blank as I felt the last bits of light and goodness overcome by shadow.

"No..." I used all of my strength to stop the darkness. I screamed, allowing the light to escape before it was totally consumed. I could see it rise from my body. I gritted my teeth and sent it flying towards the demon. Killing it for good.

"(y/n)!" I heard Artik's voice. You're a little late...I smirked slightly and let my eyes close.

I didn't know if I was dead or not. When I opened my eyes, I was in complete darkness; floating on calm warm water. I couldn't hear anything, or smell anything, or see anything. All I could do was feel. Feel my body bob up and down with the water. All of my memories had returned. Memories of my previous life among the stars slowly faded back into my mind. It was quite different than what the book had explained.

My name is (y/n) Cyelena; last princess of Luda; the kingdom on the moon. I lived in the palace with my father and mother; King Florian and Queen Alendria who are both deceased. Luda had a strong alliance with Tubro, the kingdom on the sun. There was a third kingdom, Mydora, Kingdom of the stars. It had been abandoned and disappeared long before I was born. No one knew where its people went.

I grew up well. My parents and I were well liked in both Luda and Tubro. My best friend was Tubro's prince, Erin. I did not like traveling so he often visited Luda. He was a few years older than I and his priority was protecting me. When I turned eleven, I was assigned a personal knight. The commander's son, Syth, was chosen for the job. He was older than Erin, but did his best to be a friend. About a year after I first met him, he started to worry about Erin's and my relationship. He told me it was not proper for a maturing princess to spend so much time alone with an older boy. I was angry and began to sneak out of the palace to meet Erin. When I turned fourteen, Syth was chosen by the sages to become an apprentice, one of the highest honors to be given. He accepted and left to train with the council. With Syth gone, I had more freedom to see Erin.

I was foolish, and naive. I did not understand womanhood. One night, Erin asked if he could kiss me. I said yes. The next night we met up again. He asked if he could go further, I said no, but agreed to lay in his arms on my bed. On my fifteenth birthday he asked if he could go further. Once again I said no, but allowed him to have me in his arms and rest in my room. At that point, we both began getting too busy to meet. We both were being trained with our kingdom's magic.
