In the Moon empire, lies two princes. One is the son of the emperor and empress while the other, his mother, is just a queen. Prince Amaris Cadel Dion, the eldest son and next in line for the throne. The son whose blood is pure royalty. His hair was white as the clouds and blue ocean eyes. He was very smart and skillful with his sword, unlike his half-brother.
His half-brother was just sipping his red wine under the bright blue moon in his bathrobe and in his own room. His eyes shine ruby red and his hair is white as snow bounces off the moonlight.
"Prince Elatha Kaiser Dion…"
His personal guard name Joshua came out of the shadows. Elatha chuckled softly.
"When we are alone, just call me Kaiser…"
"Your highness, I can't be disrespectful to the future emperor!"
Elatha places his wine glass down on the table before turning his attention to Joshua.
"Listen… I never wanted the throne… my older brother Amaris can have the throne… as long as mother is happy I am happy as well…"
Joshua went on his knees and begged for forgiveness.
"Forgive me, Your Highness but I believe you will be a better emperor!"
Joshua shouted. Elatha sighs before he crosses his arms. Elatha was very skillful in magic and he thinks quickly. He was always smart with his words. He knows how to use his words to his benefit. He is skillful with using weapons such as swords, arrows, whips, etc. But he personally likes using his axes and sometimes using his double axes.
"But your highness, why do you want Lady Viviana's heart?"
Elatha smirks a bit before he picks up the wine glass.
"I look into the future with Lady Vivian's, they say if I have her heart, my illness will go away."
Elatha chuckles the whole wine and then places the glasses back on the table. Prince Elatha has an illness that is slowly eating him away. No magic spells or medicine can save him. He tries everything until he finds the answer. Vivian's heart is the key to making his illness go away.
The illness all started when he was younger. A teenage boy was in love with a beautiful lady named Calista Amelia Dove. She was known as the most beautiful girl in the empire. A lady who was very kind and smart with her words. She was the same age as Elatha. Daughter of the Baron's family. Elatha fell head over heels for her. He wanted to marry her, however, his older brother Amaris loved her as well. Calista also loved Prince Amaris and got married, which broke Elatha's heart.
Soon after that he got sick and could never find a way to make this illness go away. Coughing up blood every night and headache. His muscles become weak and his body shakes in pain. To help him sleep in peace is to drink a glass of red wine every night. Being drunk help the pain goes away for now.
Elatha started to cough up blood a bit. Joshua just stood there. Joshua couldn't do anything to help since Elatha once said there is no hope of helping him.
"Once I have her heart… I'll be alright…"
Elatha wipes the blood off his cheeks.

I was thinking about what happened to my mother. I did my best to dig up some past evidence but nothing came up. None of the maids and butlers like me to give me the evidence.
Soon a maid came in without knocking, Being rude and disrespectful to me.
"Geez…. Look at you… the duchess should really kick you out! You take up space! Hurry up and head to the garden. Lady Celina wants to meet up with you…"
The maid just looked at her nails before shutting the door. I couldn't do anything. If I were to punish her for being rude like all nobles do, my father would punish me because Kalina would tell father. Father will always be on their side.
I sigh a bit before I change my clothes into something more elegant since after that I'm going to visit Prince Cynfal. He wrote in a letter that he wanted to see me but it's hard for him to visit because of grandpa. This is also my chance to ask grandpa did he ever care for my mother.
I quickly put away the letter before I knocked over the bell. Soon Kaiser pops out of nowhere.
"What seems to be the problem lady Vivana~"
He kissed my hand. He really comes whenever I ring the bell or by accident.
"Sir Kaiser…"
"No no… just call me Kaiser my lady~"
He winks at me. I couldn't help but roll my eyes a bit.
"Kaiser, I didn't mean to ring it, it accidentally fell from my table… see?"
I picked the bell from the floor and held it out to him. He then grabs the bell and turns it into a necklace, he must be very skilled in magic to do this out of nowhere.
He then snaps his finger again and it turns into a bracelet,
Kaiser then had the bracelet wrapped around my wrist.
"There… you can take it off and ring it! You can keep it close to your heart…"
He smiled softly. How beautiful his smile is. I wonder how many women have fallen for his smile? I wonder if he is married? He seems too young to be married! However, you may never know.
"Well Kaiser, I have to go now… I am meeting the Crown Prince of the Sun kingdom,"
I start looking in my closet for an elegant dress. He just sits on my bed and watches my every move.
"I hate the Sun royal family…"
I quickly turn around and cover his mouth with my hands.
"Are you crazy???! If someone hears you, they will chop off your head!!!"
I yelled. I could soon feel his smirk form before he licked my hand. I quickly move my hand away and wipe his nasty saliva off of his clothes.
"Eww!!! Take that back!!!"
He grabbed my wrist and pulled my palm hand to his lips before he kissed it.
"Sorry, my lady~ It's some old habits~"
"Old habits or not! Don't do that again!"
I try to free my hand from his grip. His ruby eyes slowly turn his attention to my finger before he kisses my finger. Kissing each finger which made me stop moving.
I was shocked at what he was doing!!!
"Your skin is so soft~ I just want to kiss every part of you~"
He closes his eyes before kissing my palm, I blush and then smack his head.
"Ow!"
He pouted and dragged him towards the window.
"You should just leave until I ring them again!"
"I'm sorry! I just hate the Sun kingdom because they kind of suck..."
I pause for a bit. Why does he think they suck? Like geez... Bias much?
"You do know I am part of the royal family?"
His eyes widened. Of course, no one expects me to have some royal blood.
"How is that possible?"
"My mom was once a princess Until she married my father,"
It seem like he was thinking about something. He pokes my forehead. I was taken aback! What was that for?
"Ring the bell when it's an emergency!"
He shouts a bit before he jumps out of the window and I look down to see him teleport away. Why does he care if they are good or not, He shouldn't be biased! Maybe he knows something? Is he a noble?
How he acts and dresses is way too clean to be a poor shop owner. Most likely a noble. Not a royalty because the Moon empire only has one son.
Prince Amaris Cadel Dion, I heard about him a few times from my father. They say he married a poor girl who was a baron. A true fairy tale story. They live happily. That is what everyone says.
Well, I must get ready now. I don't need to meet up with Celina. The crown Prince of the Sun kingdom wants to meet me. I also must meet grandpa. Will grandpa be happy to meet his granddaughter he never once visited?

I was back at my Moonlight shop. Lady Vivana… I didn't know she got some royal blood in her. It just reminds me of some Moon empire royal problem. I remember hearing, Father got very drunk at the wedding name as it was traditional in our family. He was supposed to enter Empress Annabell's chamber but he never came. She waited all night until the sun rose. She felt embarrassed and people spread rumors that her father hated her. He got a lady in waiting which is my mother, pregnant but she lost the baby. Father felt bad and married mother then had me. By the time they had me, my older brother was born.
I hate my father, he isn't a great person, he is a man who can't control himself and causes two women to be in pain. One being the empress and the second woman being my mother. He is a man who lusts over women. I believe even my brother Amaris hates his father as well. I never wanted the throne because I believe the power of ruling an empire can affect you and I didn't want to end up like a father but at the same time, it's in our blood to flirt with so many women. That's why I choose to leave the Moon empire and have a small shop here.
It also didn't help much with Calista~
"Oh, Calista, if only you would look at me as a man and love me. It's so difficult to get over you."
I soon started to feel a sharp pain in my heart and I soon spit out blood. I wipe the blood off. Vivana, your heart is the key to having me live a long life.
Don't go too far from me…

Viviana was now at the royal palace. She ends up wearing a mint gown with white at the end. Wearing her emerald jewelry.
The maids greeted her and showed her to the garden room where Prince Cynfal was waiting. Cynfal was nervous, he was looking forward to seeing her again and how her beautiful eyes shine so brightly.
"Your highness, Lady Vivana is here…"
Cynfal stood up. She greeted him.
"Greeting The holy crown Prince of the Sun kingdom,"
"No need to do that when we are alone! Rise up!"
She rises up and smiles at him. Vivana held her hand out and Cynfal kissed her hand.
"Lady Vivana~ welcome! It has been a while since we have seen each other~"
"Yes, it has been a while~"
Viviana took a seat as he did the same in front of her. He called for the maid to get hot ginger tea and some sweet desserts.
Cynfal then look her in the eyes and try holding her hand, but Viviana felt weird and didn't let him hold her hand. Viviana felt like he was weird but brushed it off.
"Have you been alright? I know last time Celina been acting up and the whole birthday party,"
"Ah yes, birthday party... Why did you draw your sword on him?"
Cynfal thought about it for a while. Wanting to make sure he answers this wisely.
"He seems like a bad person, I didn't want you to get hurt..."
Cynfal got up from his seat and brush her hair out of her face. He couldn't help but stare into her eyes. He was acting so strange, was it because it was his cousin or he saw her more than that?
"Enough about the birthday party, It seems Celina made everyone hate you,"
"There is nothing I can do… No one believes I am a good person…"
Cynfal held her hand and squeeze it.
"I believe you! Have you tried changing their mind?"
"No, it got worse when Celina came back to life! It's weird, it's like she is a different person!"
"Well, Celina May have hit her head or lost her memory and now she is a different person, but enough about her! What are you wearing to the debut ball?"
Cynfal held her hand tightly as if he knew the answer already.
"Ah! I am wearing-."
"Blue gown?! Your father told me! I can't wait to see you!"
Vivana slowly moved her hand away as the tea and dessert came. The maid held the tea and try placing it down on the table but accidentally spilled it on Vivana.
"Ahh!!!"
"I-I sorry! I-I didn't mean to spill!"
Cynfal snaps his finger and his guard takes her to get punished.
"Prince Cynfal! Don't punish her over something small! She can help me change as a way to fix her mistakes…"
"Fine fine…"
Cynfal snapped his finger again and the guard let go of the maid. The maid cry and thanks Vivana. The maid ends up showing her a room for a guest lady.
"Give me the honor to bathe you with a milk lavender…"
"Oh.. no it's alright,"
"No no! Please! Lady Vivana!"
The maid begged but Vivana said no.
"It will be fine, just help me change."
The maid gives up and ends up changing her clothes. The maid still felt bad and did her hair with some hair accessories.
"No need to show me back to the garden, I know the way…"
The maid nodded, however, that was a lie. Vivana wanted to find her grandpa. She first went to the Library. She heard her mother saying her grandpa enjoys reading books and writing poetry. Viviana also enjoys doing those things. I guess it runs the family, Vivana thought to herself.
Entering the library and finding her grandpa. Slowly walking up to him. He was just reading some poetry.
"Grandpa…"
she whispered which caught the attention of her grandpa.
"Who are you? How dare you enter the ro- wait… your eyes??"
"Greetings King Arthur of the Sun kingdom, I am Vivana Oleander Chela, daughter of Duke Chela. I am your granddaughter,"

"Granddaughter?! I never knew I had a granddaughter!!!"
It seems grandpa is shocked to hear he has a granddaughter.
"Mother… Did you know she passed away?"
Grandpa's eyes widened and his face turned pale.
"I-I what!? I never heard the news that she passed away!? Your father never told me anything about this!"
"You never once came to visit grandpa, mother sent you so many letters! Not once you came… she passed away when I was a young child and my father never cared for me! I ended up having a step-sister and a half-brother! Grandpa… did you really not know!?"
Viviana could feel tears building up but to her shock, grandpa was crying. She should be crying! What reason did he have that made him not go!?
"I'm sorry… my new Queen always told me your mother never sent any letters or told me any news! I am sorry! I'm sorry… Please forgive me! I do care about your mother! I have always loved your mother!"
"What?? Is that true?! And you didn't even check the fact to see if it's true or not!? Grandpa, no! King Arthur… You don't deserve to be my grandpa…"
She wiped her tears before she left the library. Viviana took a wrong turn and ended up getting lost. There wasn't a maid in sight. She thought about it for a while before she rang the bell bracelet.
Right away, Elatha teleports to her. He was grinning until he stopped and realized where he was. In his so-called enemy's home.
"Lady Vivana~ not to be rude or anything but…. What the hell are we doing here!!!?"
"Kaiser Calm down! I am here to visit the Crown Prince of the Sun kingdom! I thought I told you already!"
Elatha rolled his eyes before he noticed her eyes were red and puffy. Without even knowing his hands slowly went towards her face. Gently cupping her cheeks.
"Do you need a hug?"
He softly whispered and she busted into tears. Crying more than before. He embraced her. Slowly she wrapped her arms around him.
"Who the hell are you!?"
Prince Cynfal shouted. Viviana pulls away and Elatha faces Cynfal. Cynfal choked up a bit, and Elatha's red eyes and white hair shocked him.
"Greeting Crown Prince Cynfal~"
Elatha greeted but his eyes never bowed down.
"I'm sorry Prince Cynfal, I got quite lost… This is my friend Kaiser…"
"Ah, I remember him..."
Cynfal brushed past Kaiser and held Viviana's hands.
"Nice to meet you again… Kaiser… let's go, Lady Viviana,"
Dragging Viviana away. Viviana wouldn't dare disrespect the Crown Prince of the Sun kingdom, even at how much she didn't want to leave. As Kaiser Glare at Prince Cynfal.

Stupid Viviana never came! I was waiting in the gardens for hours! I didn't even eat yet! Starving! I found out from a maid she went to greet the Crown Prince of the Sun kingdom!? HOW DARE SHE!?
However! Why didn't Prince Cynfal invite me to come over? I must do whatever it takes to make him fall in love with me. We must have a happy ending. Who in this kingdom can help me?
"Lisa!"
My maid Lisa quickly came.
"Yes, my lady?"
"Where is mother?? I want to speak with her!"
Lisa nodded and led me to my mother. Mother was getting her hair done in her master bedroom.
"Mother!"
I enter in a hurry, trying to not trip over my beautiful pink dress.
"What is it my dear~?"
Mother turned around and held my hand.
"Is there anything I can do to end up with Prince Cynfal? I want him to be mine!"
Mother softly smiled.
"I know his grandmother, Queen Nasya~ I am meeting with her today!"
I smiled. Yes, this will be my chance. If we meet up more and hang out, he will fall for me. The debut ball will be one step closer!
We will have a happy ending~
