Dust of the Hourglass

Prolouge

Gone the fancy dress and the strong look, replaces by a shabby dress and bruises all over her face.

How the hell did i end up here?

"Lady Cordelia Amelia Transivia proven guilty of treason leading a rebellion and killing her own sister Lady Amethyst Angel Transivia, and sentence to beheaded" the executioner said

'naku, pati sarili nyang kapatid pinatay nya!'

'ano pa bang aasahan mo eh kilala siya bilang demonyo ng marquis household'

'tama pinatay nya ang kapatid nya at nagtaksil sa bayan natin'

Halos mabingi ako sa narinig ko, hindi pa ako pwedeng mamatay i haven't found the person who order to kill Amy. Tears stream down to my face as i realize that i failed Amy, i promise her that i will find justice for her death but now i'm helpless not even my family can help, if only i could turn back the time.

Please give me chance to make everything right and change Amethyst fate

I looked at the crowd only to see a smirking Duke, he is Amy's fiancé before she died, how could he smile like that to me?

"This is the reason why you shouldn't get yourself involve in your sisters death" The executioner whispered to me, i want to shout curse him but i'm tired.

I close my eyes as  i feel the sword in my neck and  i heard a sound of dust like it was falling in the ground.

"Delia! Hoy! ano ba naririnig mo ba ako?" did i just heard Amethyst voice? i open my eyes and see a living Amethyst shock surrounded me, how?

"Delia, something wrong?" she said it with soft voice at puno ng pagaalala

"How could you be still alive ate?"

she laughed and said "Mukha ba akong patay sayo ha!" i finally look around and realize i was in the garden inside our mansion. Tumingin ako sa kanya at naglakad papunta sa kwarto ko.

What the heck happened?

I look at the mirror only to see a much younger Cordelia i held my face and stare at the mirror realizing everything i quickly look into the calendar near my vanity and saw the date.

13th April 251

Which means  i'm 18 years old at the moment, i heard the sound of dust again like before i was beheaded and saw a hourglass in my bed. i hold it and heard a knock.

"Come in" as soon as i said it the door open and showing up my older sister Amethyst Angel Transivia. She's the angel of our household compare to me na halos maging isang demonyo na ako sa ugali ko, we are the daughter of the Marquis Transivia despite of having a different attitude sobrang close kami sa isa't isa.

"May problema ka ba? may ginawa na naman ba sayo si Ama?" tinitigan ko sya sabay ng pagalala ko sa pagkamatay nya blood filled her dress and her veins shows up. niyakap ko sya ng mahigpit na para bang napaka tagal kaming hindi nagkita.

"Wala naman, i miss you" i whispered to her

"What's with you huh? bigla kang naging ganto samantalang kanina iniwan moko sa harden Lady Delia" she teased me, sya lang ang nakakatawag sa akin ng Delia, i never like my name except kapag sya ang tumatawag sa akin.

I chuckled "How about we have a tea?" we both like teas lalo na kapag magkasama kami, i guess she is the only person who can melt my heart as of now.

Amy ring a bell to call the maids and order some tea, we both have a personal maid pero kapag kami ang magkasama pinapaalis namin ang mga ito.

"i heard from father that you were going to have much more intensive training for swordmanship, Delia aren't you already good at it. Come to think of it i think you can withstand the imperial knight" Amy said before she sip a tea.

"It's fine, atleast i could protect you more"

"I envy you Delia, compare to me you can protect yourself, you're strong and intelligent" she looked at me with a soft smile.

"Amy have you remember a lot of people adore you, because of who you are. Sa ating dalawa ikaw yung mas hinahangaan so stop that" i smile and put her hair behind her ears.

Lahat ng tao ay kinokompara kami sa isa't-isa for a lot of reason, Amy has a soft features a eyes that can melt everyone she also has a sweetest voice at mahinhin din sya, compare to me i have a dagger eyes and a dangerous calm voice my features is very opposite to hers.

Our parents shoved me always and focus to Amy despite of them treating me like that i use it as inspiration i tried to become useful to our family by learning every aspect of business,

at the age of 10 i started training every kind of swordmanship, i remember the old me was trying so hard to please my parents i until my last breath but i never earn favor to them.

Umalis na din si Amethyst pag katapos namin mag-usap lalo na sa pagkakaalala ko parehas kami ni Amethyst na halos isang taon na sinanay  para maging handa sa rite passage.

It is a competition which five selected candidates from different household strictly order to participate , who ever win the competition will become the future archduke

And our lovely Amethyst manage to win competition and manage to win the heart of the archduke, i guess even with the archduke she has her soft charm.

Still what is the reason of Amethyst death, she mentioned that she learned something that will surely kill her, what could possibly Amy learn that can lead her to death.

I held my neck as i remember the blade who cut and ended my life, i clinched my fist and slowly drift to sleep

Right now,  i'm surely going to change your tragic ending my dear sister.
