CHAPTER 1
I will die..
'I don't deserve this..what did I got myself into? This isn't what I expected.Did all of them planned this?'
I questioned myself repeatedly which was the result of being nervous and scared of what's going to happen to me next.
As I parade the long way through the eye of the capital while being held by the two knights,people gathered shouting,protesting,causing a commotion.
"Kill her! She's the evil witch who caused our poverty!"
'Stop..'
"You deserve to die!!"
'Please stop...'
"This is all your fault!"
'This is not all my fault..please make it stop..'
The woman who was called a goddess before due to her stunning face has turned into a messy, pathetic woman similar to a pig.Her once beautiful shiny strawberry blonde was turned into a sloppy short hair,stained with blood and her once beautiful blue eyes that captivated the hearts of many men turned sore and had become like the eyes that belongs to a rotten fish.
Calliope was forcefully dragged up to the top of the wood plank where the guillotine was placed.
"Make her kneel."At the command of a man who have the appearance of unique white hair and yellow eyes,the two knights kicked her harshly on her back to make her kneel.
The man glared at her with a sharp look,while Calliope was lying down the wood floor,struggling to move due to her countless bruises that was caused by the knights who had beaten her before they had shown her into the public.
'Pathetic'
The man thought to himself.
The man finally removed his eyes from her and took out a paper where her sins were listed.The people who were causing a lot of noise suddenly turned quiet,as if nothing happened.
"Calliope Donadieu Lavelle,the sinner who was said to be the one who caused the poverty of people in the kingdom of Arvienthra,tried to kill the crown prince,harmed her sister due to jealousy and..killed her nanny Diana-which was ------."
What the man mentioned in the last sentence made Calliope's sanity finally broke.Her feelings was mixed,it was a very shocking matter to her.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!I-I'm going insane!.."
After what Calliope suffered through,she managed to laugh causing the people to think she's crazy.
"Why am I the one getting blamed?!Those are not my fault!"She shouted as loud as she can causing the people to shut up.
A woman from the crowd suddenly approached towards them,surprisingly, the people automatically made a wide space for her.
The knights were about to stop her from approaching but the man raised his hand,a signal to stop them.
The
man sighed,"Let her speak."
"Lift her head."The woman with a dark hair and scary glowing violet eyes commanded,it was none other than her sister,Anastasia.
Calliope who was confidently smiling at her was pulled by the hair and raised it to mid-air by a rough hand.Her face was in a condition worse than a peasant,it was painful to look at.
Anastasia knelt down on the floor.
Her actions made the people frightened,scared that the 'evil' woman might do something dangerous to her.
Anastasia brought her lips close to Calliope's ears as if to deliver a kind,farewell message.
"This is what you get for stealing everything from me."She smiled wickedly.
"I didn't steal anything from you.I took all of your misfortunes!"
Calliope gritted her teeth.
"I'm glad you will finally die.You are much of a parasite than a leech..oh and I planned all of these!Did you liked it?"Anastasia barely stop her corners of the mouth from laughing.
"Ah..Ahahaha!You crazy bitch!"
Calliope widened her eyes as she laughed.Her laughter was contained with unbearable anger.
"I forgive you,my dear sister."She spoke aloud intentionally making it look like she's the saint here.
The once called evil woman due to her appearance is now being praised by people because of how kind she is for forgiving her on what she did.
And the once called saint is now being cursed to death by the people around them.
The tables have turned,but nobody knows who's the real evil among those two.
Who knows?Maybe among them is just a victim,while the other victimized her self and claimed to be innocent.
After their short yet intense conversation,the knight finally dragged her down to the guillotine and placed her head there.
After losing sanity,Calliope is no longer scared of death nor the pain the death will cause,she made up her mind and said to herself-
'I will finally stop suffering after this..but I won't let it end easily like this.I will definitely get revenge.'
She smiled and closed her eyes,as if she's spreading her arms to approach and hug the death she will face-she welcomed her fate dearly.
The blade shone brightly,it was so sharp,it could cut through someone's bones in one drop.
She opened her eyes once again and even though she's struggling to move her head,she managed to look at the man beside the guillotine,the blinding light coming from the sun was passing through him..causing Calliope to hallucinate.
'So you are the god of death who came to save me..'
As such,the knight let go of the rope attached to the guillotine,the blade dropped through her swiftly,separating her head from the body.Her life ended fast just like that.
People were terrified when they saw her precious head placed in the basket.It was an unforgettable moment,someone might have nightmares from seeing it.
As for Calliope,she didn't felt any pain as her death was fast..but what she's seeing right now made her confused.
"Where..am..I?"She rose from her bed quickly,as tears streamed down her face.
'Is this a dream?Perhaps..the afterlife?'
Eek..
The sound of the opening of the door startled her.The maid that appeared infront of her eyes got startled too.
"Lady,are you finally feeling well?Should I call your father?!"The maid almost dropped the tray of food she brought because of panic.
Calliope was dazed for a moment.
She stood up from the bed and looked around for the mirror inside the bedroom.
'What happened to the execution?Where is this unfamiliar place?!'
"Lady!!Please don't move yet!"The maid cried.
She finally looked at herself in the mirror.What she saw in the reflection made her tremble it wasn't from fear but from happiness.
She touched all the corners of her face to see if she was dreaming but no,she's not.
The mirror reflected the image of a beautiful yet pale woman with a mid-long dark hair and a glowing violet eyes.
"I-I-I am Anastasia!"
She was very happy,even smiling cannot express how happy she is for finally getting in Anastasia's shoes.
