This second life is for me to fully conquer what I've desire in my first life. This second life is given to me to avenge my awful mother, it is given to me to trample my father and his so called family.
So when I accomplish that, it's just right for me to come back to my orginal place.
Darkness and death.
"Prince Luxius left already milady." I just nod at the maid and went upstairs. I'm beat.
When Duke Ariesè finished his talk with father, he left with Levi.
I lie on my bed.
"What are you looking at Den?" I asked the maid who keeps on staring at me while doing a chore in my bedroom.
"I-i was just wandering milady."
"What?"
"So the reason why you've been rejecting the two princes is because your heart is already set to the first prince?" I open my eyes all irritated.
"Where did you get that nonsense?" I asked her, she flinch, I might've scared her.
Was I being too kind with you Den?
"I-it's the rumor going around the manse, lady Arthia."
"It's just rumor." I laid back to bed.
It's getting cold now. I should go shopping for winter clothes.
"Why do you keep denying it, when it's the prince who said it himself--"
"Shut your trap." I said. This servants wasting their time to gossips.
The whole week, I was the talk of the manse, about me, having crush on the first prince.
I didn't bother, but it's annoying, they talk about it all the time and it's ringing my head already.
"The Second Prince Sansebastian has sent a Kalesa for Lady Arthia to ride to Vanueler Palace!" I jump in my seat. What now?
"No." I immediately said and sip on my tea.
"My sis said no." The bug said and focus in his book infront of me.
"Shouldn't you learn swordmanship with Caesar instead of those useless books?" I asked.
"I should?" He asked and close the book.
"Lady Arthia, they said, the Prince already sent you an invitation and if you want to decline him you should go yourself."
"What?" Wow, the second prince is impossible.
He sure know how to manipulate people.
I glare at the big palace, so this is the second Prince's residence?
I've been avoiding to go here because I don't like rumor and I might be leading him into something I don't want.
I don't know Sansebastian unlike Luxius. Sansebastian is unpredictable and cold. While Luxius is kinda showy but you can't predict him by his expressions either, while Levi, I can't read him at all, he's just confident around me.
A butler lead the way to his study. See? He is busy why would he asked for my audience?
And this is the time of the year he'll be engaged or married, I don't know, I forgot.
"May the peace of Guibash bless you, Your highness, second prince Sansebastian." A long greeting!
"No need to be formal Lady Laissè." But he's the one who's being formal.
"Then I won't beat around the bush, why did you summon me?" I asked. He put the papers in his hand to the table and look at me.
I just notice, he's working with stack of papers beside him.
"Are you going to marry my brother?" A brow of mine automatically raised.
"Pardon?"
"Don't marry him." He stood up, and started walking towards me.
"I don't plan to get married to anyone, Prince Sanse." I took the risk and call him in his nickname but in a formal way.
He stand infront of me so I look up at him. He eyes met mine. I smiled at him.
"You look anxious." I whispered. He look away.
"Cailevi, he protected the border, and conquered 6 country for the 8 years he was gone." He touch a my hair and smelled it, he even close his eyes. "But only 5 countries was registered to Altaruege's." He look at me still holding strands of my hair. "He must've given you a country since there's a renamed country, Elvish Isabelà."
"Y-yes." I said. I didn't know Levi renamed the country after me.
"You must like him since he gave you a country." His eyes tighten.
"Excuse me?"
"Just so you wait, I'll give you the world, not just a country." He said then let go of my hair. "So marry me.."
I pulled back. I heard the double door where I entered open.
"She said she don't want to get married to anyone Sansebastian, I didn't know that brains of yours is pretty slow." Both Sansebastian and I look at the guy who entered.
"May the peace--"
"Throw away the formality Tia, it's not like I'm my younger brother." He said looking at Sansebastian as if he's provoking him.
"What are you doing here, Captain Cailevi of Alta Knights?"
Sansebastian is so formal as if he's talking to someone who's not related to him.
