Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 Old Love perish into Hate

His hand reached for my hair slowly as I smacked it away. His filthy hand was going to touch me, his filthy manwhore diseased brothel hands.

'Fate?' I let out a chuckle and compose myself.

"Fate? How can it be fate we are family now. I can see you everyday as a brother-in-law." I said with charm as I walked past him.

'Stay calm.'

"Flavia, didn't you say you had feelings for me still? You can divorce my idiot of a brother! I can give you what you need! I am the Crown Prince afterall."

I looked at the corner of my eyes as I saw maids pretending to clean while listening to our conversation.

"What I need?!"

I'll make you regret marrying him! Can Enzo do this?!" Silas spawned a flower into his hands and hand it to me. I looked at with disgust because it was the same flower from my last life.

"Enzo may not be able to use magic yet, he is quite capable of being able to make me happy!" I yelled at Silas as I stormed off. As I stormed off I felt a hand grabbed my wrist.

"Silas, let go of me, your brother's wife! Have you no shame!?"

"What have gotten into you?! You would beg for my love once and now you forgotten about me?!"

I felt like darkness was pouring over my vision. I felt incredibly weak. I felt like I was in full blown panic and I felt like I was going to faint.

'Please just let go.' I squeezed my eyes tight as I prepare myself to faint.

"Silas, let go of Flavia she is my wife." I heard Enzo's voice as my face was in a cold sweat.

"You made Flavia go into a panic, you know how much she hates being grabbed unexpectedly. You know she could have drawn out her mana weapon by accident. She's not a weak girl and she is the Grand Duke daughter. She had to train like her brothers for sneak attacks."

'Enzo, take me away.' I went limp and my breathing was heavy as a sign to Enzo to take me back to our qaurters

"Look what you did, you exhausted her powers. Next time approach her nicely afterall she is your sister-in-law and a married woman." Enzo sighed as he walked away.

As my eyes fluttered open I saw Enzo and the doctor chatting.

"Her mana core is stable."

"Thank you doctor."

The door shut as I looked over peering eyes half-open. Enzo crossed his arms demanding an explanation of what just happened.

"I felt sick from the beginning but I didn't want to tell you." I said plainly causing him to get more agitated. "I ate a bad breakfast. I felt like throwing up."

"Okay..." Enzo tilted his head with an annoyed expression but slowly came back into his regular mood.

"So, the royal mother Asli, wanted to see you but she heard you were sick. She told some maids to make you all your favorite dishes."

"Is that so, What did the Empress say about me falling ill? I was suppose to go see her to discuss the party."

I felt suspicious of the Consort but the Empress would most definitely summon dishes.

"She didn't say anything but the physician that was here had to run out to her. Rita is about to come later in the day and message has it she felt ill on her way to our kingdom of Deotis" Enzo walked over to the window with his hands behind his head. As he glanced down he can see the maids rushing around and preparing in the courtyard.

'Weird in my past life the Consort didn't like me after I was selected as Crown princess but the Empress like me but that was fake later on. What make the Consort like me now?' I thought as I crossed my arms in deep thought. I wasn't in any position to be disliked now. Right now, was the time to go see the Consort and get answers.

"I should see the consort." I got up and grabbed my cloak. My body felt heavy but I need the correct answers to make sure this life goes smoothly.

"Wait, Flavia-!"

As I walk down the hall in my royal cloak and ran to the other half of the palace to avoid being seen by anyone else. I knock on the Consort's palace door.

"Who is it?" A maid called as I back away from the door.

"Its the Princess Consort, Flavia!"I called back and the maid open the door sizing me up.

"Alright, Princess Consort right this way."

I followed the maid into the palace. The palace of Consort Asli was decorated in the finest gold and exotic desert decorations. She was a desert beauty. She was from the kingdom of Shazzatha the only princess born from there. Her clothing was unique and exotic. As if she was a dancer but a classy goddess at the same time. Her arms and hands decorated in a lovely design. It was a culture shock to our western kingdom.

A lively viel was adorned on her head and she was quite young looking even younger looking than the Empress. Of Course, she was the emperor's charmed and favorite consort.

"Flavia." A soft voiced called out to me as the incense blew away to reveal Asli's face.

"My daughter-in-law have you recovered, the servants must be still preparing your recovery meal. Please, sit at the table in front of me and I'll send a maid to redirect all your food here."

Her voice was soft and lovely like a mother should. Why did she hate me in my past life? I need to figure it out.

"Your grace, Have I offended you?" I said with caution as she mid paused putting a grape in her mouth.

"No, my dear. Why would you say that? You're my daughter-in-law, why would I hate you? The only offense you can do is not give me a grandchild! You didn't reject my Enzo's proposal therefore I have no hatred towards you." As Consort Asli lifted her wine cup to her lips she flicked her eyes towards me.

"Come now, I heard the Crown prince offended you. The Empress is not happy that you didn't handle the situation discreetly~." Asli told me in a singing-song voice.

"You do not blame me, Consort Asli?" I replied quietly as I felt scared of her boiling anger.

"I do not dear child because I was too pursued by the Crown Prince many times. Before I first arrived in this country as you know at the time, the Emperor visited my home country and got me pregnant. It was custom to secure her place as Consort or Empress the Princess must seduce a foreign ally. So I did, after a couple of years later about 12 years or so. The emperor was good looking for his age and his son the Crown prince was of only 18 and I was 29 after he came back. I was young looking for a 29 year-old, haha, you may have mistaken me for a younger maiden of age 20."

"But why did the Crown Prince tagged along with the Emperor?"

"Well the crown prince wanted to know how beautiful I was, I heard he was a playboy so I decided to avoid him on purpose. He tried to woo me and didn't know better."

"Consort Asli, did he ever bother you again?"

"Not until the meeting day, he tried to beg my father for my hand in marriage on Enzo's 12th birthday, Enzo showed up and ran out into the Royal Court to meet his father. I had a victorious smirk on my face. The look on Silas face was priceless, he was so embarrased. To figure out I was going to be his step mother soon." Consort Asli stated with a coy smile as she drink her last sip of wine. As I ate during this fascinating story.

"Silas was embarrassed and refused to meet my eyes ever again, now when I think about it what would happen if he did suceed? He would probably be turned off by my age...Me crown princess at my big age? Preposterous, hmph." As Asli waved a maid away to fetch her more wine, I couldn't help think.

'Still doesn't answer my question fully of why she hated me in the past...Also one thing still remains on my mind where did she and Enzo go during the rebellion?'
