Paris – France.
Laina looked sadly at the silver ring that glittered in the moonlight. He had let her go… not only had he let go of his wedding ring but had also let go of his status from being a wife to being an ex-wife. Laina is tired of her life, she is fed up with everything especially the word love and the man who tells her lies.
"Actually. What is love?, how does it feel to be sincerely loved by someone?," Laina muttered quietly, she wondered while looking at some couples who were so romantic with their partners along the road on the banks of the Seine.
"Can someone like me really not be loved?," Laina mumbled to herself. Laina is aware that she does live in a dark and dirty world, especially since she is the head of the mafia that controls France today.
Since knowing the word love, Laina's cold heart has become warm and continues to want that warmth, even she wants to decide to resign from her status as mafia leader, and wants to give back that status to her uncle who is now living peacefully as a flower seller. But in fact all the men that Laina knew had never sincerely given her that warm feeling, they all only wanted Laina's wealth and power. Even the man that Laina thought was different, turned out to be the same. He just wanted the same thing as the men who approached Laina mostly whom Laina had killed out of emotion and some Laina had let go by living a life of suffering for lying to her.
"Should I kill you too?," Laina muttered blankly. He was emotional but also empty as if he was bored with his life which was not going anywhere. He didn't even know what was good and what was bad, and he couldn't tell the difference between white and black anymore. Laina has lived a black life since she was first born in the world, then her life has become gray since she knew love.
Laina smiled, "I'd better end it all. Congratulations on your life, Alex!," shouted Laina, who no longer thought about the man who had now become her ex-husband because today they were officially divorced.
Once again, Laina stared at her ring for a few minutes before she finally climbed onto the edge of the bridge that stretched across the main river of Paris. He also simultaneously threw his ring and himself into the Seine river which made some pedestrians that night who saw him screamed hysterically because there was a woman who jumped from the edge of the Seine bridge.
"Light or darkness. Which will you choose?"
Someone's voice seemed to be asking the figure of Laina who was feeling excruciating suffocation due to drowning where she couldn't breathe in the water, but she looked calm and resigned, even when she heard a voice asking her, she could only smile because she felt that her life had been real. funny. Of course he who has lived in darkness can he still choose between darkness and light?
"If I had a choice, of course I would choose light, right?," Laina thought hopeful but she knew it was just a futile hope.
Although Laina lives in wealth because she is the leader of a mafia organization that is in power in Paris, it feels like Laina lives only to be manipulated by her feelings by a man who never truly loved her, even by her own husband, who had an open affair in front of her as if he was just another man. dolls on display in their house, or maybe from the start she was just a doll for her husband to play with because Laina was lulled by her fake love.
Not only that, even all his property has fallen into the hands of that bastard husband. But now the husband's words are not right because Laina has divorced him and ended her life quietly without thinking about anything, hoping that she will go to a peaceful paradise, even though her dirty self doesn't feel worthy to hope for heaven, plus her heart is a little burdened with revenge because she is still alive. He felt pain from the treatment of the men who had approached him only for his wealth even though he had killed them and tortured them, but his heart was never accepted and satisfied after doing it all.
Only sincere love can eliminate the fire of revenge in Laina, but no one has ever truly loved Laina.
At the end of her life, Laina finally came to her senses. He just wants to live with someone who loves him sincerely. He does not care about wealth and throne. He just wants to feel the warmth of a sincere love from someone.
He wants to live under the warm light…
"But it's too late… hell is waiting for me for sure."
When everything went dark, a voice again asked Laina the same question where the question came from, and someone who Laina didn't know her form because she had been immersed in darkness answered her question.
"Light or darkness. Which will you choose?"
"If being a dark night allows you to shine brightly, then I will choose darkness for you..." Someone answered with a warm smile at Laina.
***
Laina opened her eyes with cold sweat dripping down her temples, Laina's hands trembled and felt cold, even her body felt very cold as if she had just drowned in very cold water. But after remembering, didn't he deliberately drown himself in the cold Seine river that night?. He should be dead, but….
"Princess Carissa you have woken up!. I'll call the others!" muttered a woman in maid clothes and she left running in a hurry, leaving Laina who had just been called by the name Carissa, where Laina looked confused by her situation until she looked in the mirror and found her very beautiful appearance with a long wavy mane of hair with a beautiful silver color and bright blue eyes make her appearance like a fairy in a fairy tale.
"Wh-who?!," Laina was shocked when she saw her unfamiliar appearance, she was also surprised when she opened her eyes and she was already on a very soft mattress with a thick and warm soft blanket, plus the mattress and the room was so luxurious. to the point that Laina was amazed and didn't realize that several people had entered her room which was bigger than her house
"Carissa… you're awake. How are you?, is anyone sick?," asked a very beautiful woman with her blonde hair very neatly arranged, and blue eyes like hers that she saw in the mirror reflection, as well as her very beautiful clothes. beautiful for wearing a dress that suits her so well.
Laina who was called by the name Carissa was silent and confusedly looked at the people who entered her room with clothes that were strange according to Laina because they were all wearing clothes that were like medieval-style noble clothes that were very luxurious, even the women and men were really beautiful- beautiful and handsome.
"Your Majesty, let me check again," said a man to a woman who looked worried with Laina who was still confused.
The beautiful woman who was called His Majesty immediately pulled herself aside and let a well-groomed man in a white suit with a gold checklist which was also decorated with several badges indicating that he was a royal doctor examined Laina. The man carried a bag like a small brown suitcase made of leather that was polished so well, then he took out several instruments that were similar to a stethoscope and checked Laina's hands and heartbeat who was still amazed and confused by her situation.
"Looks like nothing bad Your Majesty. We'd better continue the ritual tomorrow because Princess Carissa is in need of rest," the white-coated man explained to the beautiful woman and a man with silver hair and dark red eyes..
"Hm. Alright… you can go," said the man called His Majesty.
"Then excuse me, Your Majesty the king Raymond. May you be blessed with three great holy lights," said the man and left the room leaving Laina who was still confused, and the two people that Laina now knew that they were a husband and wife who was also the one holding the highest status in the Vos Lunar kingdom as king and queen.
"They're my parents?," Laina thought still confused because slowly some memories entered her head.
"Carissa, dear. Are you all right?
"Yes, that's true. Don't push yourself. But if you're okay, the sooner the better to carry out the ritual. The guard has also been tightened. You don't have to worry about anyone attacking again," explained Raja who is also Carissa's father. .
Laina is still silently thinking about her situation, "Am I alive again?," she thought.
The king and queen who saw their daughter remained silent chose to let Carissa rest and continue the question later.
Laina was lost in thought and fully realized that she was reincarnated as a crown princess of the kingdom of Vos Lunar named Carissa Elaine, where she should have performed a light blessing today as a sign of her maturity and a potential successor to the throne of the kingdom, where she also had other responsibilities as a who is blessed with light because he was born on the exact day the hero of light defeated the Obscurite Regle, the lord of darkness who had plunged the world into chaos and darkness for a hundred years.
Laina also remembers Carissa's memory which is now her memory as well, where in that memory she who was undergoing the blessing of light was suddenly attacked and kidnapped by a group of black-robed people consisting of three people who didn't know what they planned to kidnap her. But because Carissa tried to rebel and used a little magic that she couldn't control, Carissa finally fell into the Seina river and drowned there.
That's when Laina has simultaneously become Carissa where those who should have both died drowned in the river, but now Laina is alive as Carissa who is also declared alive because someone has helped her from drowning in the Seina river.
A man with black hair, dark purple eyes, and clothes that are also all black. That's all Carissa can remember right now for the people who helped her when she drowned in the Seina river.
"Who helped me?. I want to meet him again..." Carissa muttered, feeling the warmth of the man who had helped her.
Knock... knock... knock...
A man dressed as a servant knocked on Carissa's door and then entered with a white tray with gold flower carvings, in which there was a clear glass teapot showing its contents.
"Princess Carissa. I brought warm herbal tea for you. Please drink it. Hope you get better soon ..." explained the male servant politely and friendly. But there is one thing that makes Carissa can't stop turning away from him, that is because his faint smile is so warm that it is covered by the sunlight that penetrates Carissa's bedroom window, making Carissa want that warm feeling of love again.
"Can I find true love in this world?."
