“Life has taught me that you can’t control someone’s loyalty. No matter how good you are to them, doesn’t mean that they will treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn’t mean that they’ll value you the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be the people you can trust the least.”
The evening festivities were a rousing success. It should be to celebrate her success, their Empress in conquering different kingdoms. She can hear all their laughter but here she is, chained in a dark dungeon.
Clangs of chain can be heard in, blood splattered into the walls of the room creating an art that brings shiver and here at the middle, chained and wounded, the lady of the night, their empress.
Clad in a red dress which are torn and splattered with blood. Skin like a jade ruined by multiple scars given by her own husband, her emperor.
She stared at the man infront of her, amethyst eyes which are uniquely calm meets his sapphire blue eyes. She knows that this man who once showed her love and hope is ironically planning to end her life today. She laughed.
"It is truly amusing that the man that I fully trust is the one who stares at me like im a dead person right now"
Chunhua's eyes doesn't portray fear which the emperor wants.
"I was a fool in believing all of your lies"
"My love, it is truly a pity that I need you out of my way. You are a hindrance for gaining the power I want. Do not worry, this will be a quick death, have it my last gift in giving you a painless death"
Her pale face showed pain but is gone in an instant. She can't imagine that after all the things that she gave him, this is what he gave in return.
"Any last words, my love?"
"I became something I am not. I betrayed my family, destroyed my kingdom and neglected my child. All because of you. I should have never chosen you, I should have listen to my family. A pity, it is too late for my regrets. But this I will not give to you. My life can only be taken by me" Chunhua calmly said as she stared into his shocked eyes. She raised her hand with the knife she have hidden and ended her own life.
And then she welcomed the darkness.
