Chapter 23 - The princess with the Unusual Heartbeat

The witch 'Melissa' appears to look elegant and quite dominating as she's seen stepping out from a magnificent carriage as her magical creatures of all kinds gather around her in escort. She smiled at them as she heads towards a beautiful cottage. Just as she walked into the cottage, some maids servant showed up to welcome her.... Greetings to you, 'Your Benevolence'. Where is she?.....she requested. Just then, a middle-aged woman of about 65 years of age appeared right in their midst. I had an urgent matter to attend to Melissa. Why do you seek for me? Melissa answered. The prophecy, godmother. How do I change the prophecy? ... I keep seeing that boy stabs a dagger right into my heart in my vision. Most often, I do have terrible nightmares about him.

Her godmother replied. You have to stop your obsession for revenge, Melissa. Is the only way you can stop the prophecy from coming to pass....she retorted. I can't do that, godmother! We both know exactly what the emperor is like. In order to get into the throne, he sacrificed so many lives in battle and eliminated everyone who came between him and the throne. He had my whole family wiped out just because they were against his autocratic way of ruling the kingdom. He forced me to marry him and turned me against the very principles and tradition I always wanted to protect. He made me this way, godmother! I will never forgive his arrogance and deception. I won't rest until I exact my revenge. He will see his beloved kingdom crumble to the dust before his very eyes and the throne being taken away from him.

Her godmother answered. Your hatred for him will cause you to lose everything and everyone who you ever loved including your son, Melissa. She exclaimed angrily. He's not my son! He never was. She laments. He possesses the bloodline of that treacherous beast who parades himself as a virtuous ruler. If only everyone can see the demon, he truly is.... This isn't you, Melissa. I hardly can recognize you. Her godmother retorts. Melissa answered. I guess people do change....
