The golden hair is a beauty that anyone can be blinded. He was such a beauty since we were young and having a sprut of maturity made him more dashing.
'I admit that Kalied is a bewitching copy-paste of Michaela Volire Andre, our mother.'
"Brother Kalied!" She gasped. Never knew that she will still be mesmerized of his beauty despite knowing how psycho is this bastard. Though I admit, that he is pretty good to his one and only sister.
"Lucy told me that you've woken up. Are you now okay?" He said in a sweet voice, no psychotic behaviour could be seen or even sensed in his tone and movements.
His hands wondered in the soft bed that I am resting. Eyes full of affection,
"You...were unconscious for 8 days. We were so worried. The mansion was relentless. Even father seeks audience in the palace to ask for help. It was the first, we laid down our pride." He continued as if to mock me that I was a let-down.
"I am sorry, brother Kalied. But I was also confuse onto what happened to me, before and after I collapsed."
'Do you really think I will be used again by your dirty schemes? The past Katrina is no more.'
It was silent for a moment. Kalied's eyes onto me, wondering and trying to read my conciousness. But there were none. His cold hands reached on my bare cold face who was exposed by the slightly opened window.
"We are not your enemy. Katrina."
I was confused as to what he uttered. His eyes full of expression that I cannot comprehend which is which and which is true. I know from within, there are lies.
"Brother....Kalied...."
A sigh was released from him as he stands up looking down on me who is still sitting on my bed.
"Father just arrived. But he has a visitor so he still didn't know that you've already woken up. I will tell him as soon as the visitor go on your status." He said while walking past my bed to where the windows are.
"As for why you collapsed, you...." He added as he pushed closed the window. Darkness is surrounding the sky.
"....you were poisoned. As to who?" Added that made me shocked. Who dared to poisoned me? It didn't happen before.
"None. There are no suspicious being. Do you know of someone?" The man who looked too handsome on his navy blue suit, a red diamond pin on his chest with a dazzling golden hair partnered with his green deep eyes looked expressionless, as if saying, 'tell me any name and they will be vanished this instant'.
'As if I would!You already killed many this past few days! I will make sure not to let you kill more for this family to not be ruined.'
Though I know for a fact also, that I might be the reason for the family's ruins in my past life.
"I don't have anyone in mind. But I will make sure to tell if there is one."
I answered and gave him a light smile.
'Can I just tell him it's the first prince?Ugh, it's treason and my revenge will not be completed!"
I don't know why, but he give up afterwards, he walks past my bed again in the direction of the door.
She manage to not waste time talking to the little duke and felt relieved for no apparent reason. Maybe they are really not that close like the past Katrina thought.
The silence she is waiting for, came. The door closed as the little duke left without a word after. She remembered when they were young, Katrina was still 8 and Kalied is 10, their mother Michaela was found died in her bedroom, broken glass of wine scattered on the floor and her lying body next to it. Her golden hair was covered with the wine she had. The siblings who wanted to greet their mother on the daily basis greetings, stood there. They were trembling to the sight, maids screaming, horrified on what happened to their mistress. As a young child, Katrina knew her mother is died but then again, she can't rejoice nor cry at the moment.
She might be wicked but then again she never is a bad mother to them. She knew that the wicked 'saint' loved her children more than anything. It was just wicked and disturbing.
But the horror is not the body of their died mother lying in front of them.
It is her brother.
She, in an early age wanted a support from the older brother beside her, so she hastily grabbed the smalls hands in her side. It was trembling and so she looked at it.
She thought at that moment that it was horrifying for their young self to witness such a horrible happening. And so, she wanted to comfort her older brother.
But, he at the moment, was smiling.
She didn't know why. But she knew....
"Katty, mother died."
He said with a smile on his face plastered.

"Ugh!...Why of all things I remembered that? Such a bad luck!"
She murmured, rustling her rustled red hair.
Tok...tok...
"Miss, it's me Lucy."
"Come in."
The girl bought the food she requested and laid it down in a small table arranged at the top of the bed.
"Where is Jinnie?"
I ask briefly halted her mastered hands on serving.
"She's on the dungeon. She was your attendant at the moment you collapsed."
I stopped my hands at the answer. Why I was so absentminded that I even didn't thought that Jinnie and Tramor might be punished more so be died.
I quickly pushed the small table and stand up but was laid down again by my weak body.
"Call the butler! At once!"
I shouted which surprised Lucy. I was never the kind of a person who loses my control. Though the past Katrina whined always but it was controlled. She was never out of her posture. She was teached that way to begin with. But at that instance, she loses her wits and composure. As the two beings, who are in the dungeon are her greatest ally in the future.
