"Crown prince Amaris,"
I heard a knock at my office door. I couldn't bring myself to speak or even say a word. I am having mixed feelings about what my wife Calista did to me. She was my everything. She was the first woman I love…
I couldn't wrap around the idea of my wife cheating… I once again heard a knock at my door. I did my best to bring at least a small smile to my face.
"Please come in,"
A young maiden lady came in. It seems to be that lady, Elatha follows around and speaks to her.
"Your highness, I have some tea to calm you down,"
She smiled a bit and place the tea set on my desk.
"Thank you, what is your name may I ask?"
"My name is Viviana, your highness…"
Ah! Viviana! A nice name! She has a very sweet face, I can see why my little brother like her. Well, it seems he wouldn't say it but I know he likes her.
"Sweet name… thank you for the tea,"
She nodded and left the room. I sip the tea and felt a little better. I should still go ask my wife… to hear the truth… I should also see Calix… I work with him for many years, I know there is no way he would do something like this.
I brush my hair back and sigh a bit. I soon head downstairs and towards the jail cell. I first had a word alone with Calix.
"Your h-highness! You shouldn't be here!"
"I know I shouldn't but I came to hear the truth…"
Calix my good dear friend… I don't know if I want to hear the truth she slept with you or hear a lie…
"Your highness, to tell you the truth… I was focused on s-sleep with her! For a while, she has been talking and meeting with me! I should have said no but I feared she would kill me!"
Calix has never lied to me, not once… I believe that is true, I have to accept the facts and move on. Even if it hurts me, I can't be with a cheater… I'll have to end it with her.
"I believe you, Calix, since you never lie to me… Guards! Set this man free!"
The guard came and set him free. I soon turn my attention to my wife Calista. She saw me and started to cry begging me to believe her. I chuckle a bit. I just couldn't believe she would do something to me. But let's hear her bullshit.
"Hubby! *Hiccup* Hubby! I-I didn't sleep with him! I would never d-do that! Believe me, hubby!"
"You think I am stupid!? Do you really believe he would lie!? Calista why would you do this to me!? Because I never spent time with you lately!? Or maybe I never give you everything!? Which one!? Did I never make you happy in bed!? What was the reason to cheat on me!? Why!!?"
I yelled at her as I can feel tears streaming down. I toward around and walk away from her. No matter how much she begs for me to come back. I couldn't do this… This is my last goodbye… I am going to end this…
I went to my mother and didn't expect to see me with tears.
"My poor child~"
My mother came up to me and wipe my tears. She hugged me and patted my back.
"Mother, I want to divorce Calista…"

Viviana was packing some clothes for the trip. Having it in a tiny bag. Wearing a very simple cream color dress that goes down to her knees and is elbow bishop sleeves with a simple brown under-bust corset. Having her hair down for the first time in a while since she enters the palace. Only at night, they can leave their hair down to sleep. She felt a little nervous thinking of being alone with just Kaiser but at the same time felt very worried in a sense of what if they never find her mother burial.
Viviana could have asked her father, however, her father is never willing to tell her. With Kaiser's help, she will find it and say her last goodbye to her mother. She always wonders why Kaiser cares so much about her and wants to help her. Viviana shook her head and laura came into the room with tears.
"What's wrong Laura?!"
Laura hugged Viviana tightly.
"I-I am going to MISS YOU!!!!"
Viviana softly smiled and hugged her back.
"Laura~ I am not going to leave forever! I'll be back in three days!"
Laura pulled away and wipe her tears. Laura took out some coins and give it to Viviana.
"Here! I am just worried! I just got a feeling that you will never come back…"
Viviana grabs the coin and put it in her bag of other coins.
"Don't worry! I'll buy you the fine silk and sew you a dress!"
Laura's eyes widen with joy like a child seeing candy!
"You better! I'll be waiting!!!"
Laura outed a bit before she smile.
Viviana smiled before she hugged Laura one last time and left to the maid gate, where Kaiser was waiting. Kaiser was wearing a pine green deep v shape shirt with a string tie across the chest and wearing simple pine green pants with high black boots. To top off the outfit, he had a dark green pine clock, golden sewing around the edge. We also can't forget his black leather gloves.
Viviana was amazed at how handsome he looked. She wonders, if true… he is from a noble family, so maybe it makes sense why he is always dressed so well and why he is always at the royal palace. Kaiser held his hand out.
"My lady~"
Viviana couldn't help but smile! Soon roll her eyes.
"I don't want to lose you~"
He held her hand and pull her towards a horse waiting outside the gate. Kaiser got on first and held his hand out once again.
"You're going to get on or do I have to make you~?"
Kaiser teased her. Viviana softly chuckles a bit.
"I can get on! Just wait!"
She held onto his hand and he pull her up behind her. Grabbing her small bag and throwing it to Joshua.
"Hey! That is rude of you! I am going to need that!"
He only smirked before he lightly tap the horse to move. Viviana got scard a bit and hled onto him.
"You always forget I have magic~ We need clothes to pack! Now hold on tight!!!"
He made the horse go faster by tapping on the horse a little harsher. Riding towards the sun kingdom. Stopping at a small town to rest a bit as the sunset. Finding an Inn to sleep for the night. Making sure there was two bed. It was on the second floor. It was a nice small room that was mostly dark cream color walls and a wooden bed with a handmade quilt blanket.
Also having a two-night stand with one candle. Vivian took off her shoe and jump onto the bed to rest. Kaiser took off his clock and brush his hair back. A little tired but seem glad Viviana is doing alright. Soon she heard some noise outside. She quickly rushes to the outside window. Opening it to see the view.
"Wow! This town is small but beautiful! It looks like they are having some festive!"
Viviana smiled and watch the people coming out to play music and lights on the streets lit up. A small balloon lit up in the air. People dancing around. Viviana was enjoying the music she heard from outside and wonder if she could go. Kaiser see she was enjoying this. Kaiser then got an idea. He taps on her shoulder and she turns around to face him.
"Let's go, Viviana! I know we are here to find your mother's burial but at least have fun for the night!"
Viviana bit her lips, thinking yes or no.
"No, it's alright! You must be t-"
Kaiser rolled his eyes as he grab her hand and dragged her outside. Towards the center of the dance area, Everyone cheers! Kaiser held her hand and spin her around. Having fun dancing and Vivana felt a little shy. He smiled and let go of her hand.
"Don't be scared, just have fun~ I'm always here for you…"
Viviana softly smiled before she nodded, slowly enjoying it more and dancing around. As each person cheers! Kaiser steps out of the dance area. He wonders what is this festival about!
"Good sir, what special event is today?"
The man turn around and smiled before handing him a hand sew handkerchief of a pink dahlia flower. Kaiser was taken aback and couldn't accept it but the man put it in his hand.
"My good lord! It's the festival of the Harvest goddess! Where she comes and blesses us for our hard work! It's very important to buy some flowers before the harsh winter come as a sign to say thank you and to wish luck!"
Kaiser never knew there was such a religion out there. It was very nice! Everyone coming together and having fun. Giving each other flowers to wish luck and of course, thank the Harvest goddess. Kaiser should go and wish Viviana some luck. He went to the flower stand and look around. Most flowers were sold out!
"My dear child! What type of flower are you looking for?"
The old lady asks. Kaiser thought about it and then look at Viviana. To see which flower would match her, maybe find a family to cheer her up.
Kaiser look back at the old lady who was selling those flowers.
"I flower with great meaning for that lady over there,"
He points to Viviana still dancing with the small little kids. The old lady smiled and handed him a pink dahlia.
"Take this for free, it seems this lady is special! I would have given you the orange dahlia but how you look at her is more than just the orange dahlia~"
Kaiser was a bit flustered.
"N-no! We are not a couple or anything!"
"Oh! That's what they all say~ I wish the best of luck to you~ Now shoo shoo!"
He pushed him away from her and towards Viviana. Viviana stops dancing and walk towards Kaiser.
"What's wrong Kaiser?"
Kaiser's cheeks started to turn pink at how beautiful she looked. He quickly hands her the flower.
"This is for you! It's a traditional Harvest goddess festival! They give flowers to wish them luck!"
Viviana didn't expect him to do this for her. She took the flower and smell it, making Kaiser's eyes widen when staring at her. It felt like flower petal was falling onto her.
"It's very beautiful and smells sweet~"
Kaiser looked away and did his best to act as if nothing happen.
"I just felt bad you felt so negative all the time!"
"That is sweet of you~ One day I'll sew you something to thank you~!"
Viviana smiled. Kaiser look back at her smile and also smiled as well.
"Let's head to bed now! You don't want to be late out with a monster who eats beautiful girls like you! They are very scary! They will rip you apart and then eat you!"
Kaiser slowly walked back to the Inn and Viviana couldn't believe what he said.
"You're joking right!?"
Kaiser shook his head but still keep walking.
"Kaiser… Kaiser! KAISER! YOU'RE JOKING RIGHT!? Kaiser!?"
Kaiser was now inside his room as Viviana follow him behind yelling about what he said. Sooner and later they both fall asleep as someone watches them from afar. Soon reporting to someone who was in their royal bedroom.
"Oh! My dear cousin is free!? But she is staying with that Kaiser!?"
He was pissed and threw a book at the little spy.
"I don't care what you do! Make sure Kaiser doesn't come back alive! I need Viviana alive and well~ She is going to be my soon-to-be bride~"
"Yes, Crown prince Cynfal!"
The little spy left and Cynfal was not having it. As long as Kaiser was dead, everything is perfect. He was stressed and needed some time to relax. He got off his bed and pick up the book he was reading. He was reading a famous story about a Korean king who fell in love with a married Korean woman who soon die and soon he meets her again at the palace!!?
"My poor book! I should have never thrown you in the first place! I hope that Korean King gets a happy ending~ Just like I hope I'll be with Viviana~"
He looks outside his window. As the night sky soon became day. Kaiser woke her up.
"Good morning! We are almost at the sun kingdom!"
"...Kaiser… Can't you teleport there or something… why do we have to take a long way??"
Sleepy Viviana said and put her head under the pillow. Kaiser pause, she was right! Why didn't he use his magic? Was it because he wanted to spend more time with Viviana!? Kaiser shook his head.
"You're right!"
Kaiser snapped his finger and she fell into some river.
"Kaiser!!! What the heck! I was still sl- Woah! We are in the sun kingdom!"
Looking around to see the sun kingdom palace just pass them a bit.
"Now! Let's ask the capital people about your mother…"
Kaiser lifts Viviana out of the river and grab some grass. Using his magic to make her dry and then placed it on her and turned the grass into a very beautiful long sleeves green dress.
"Should we get going~?"
He smiled at Viviana.

Calista stuff was getting packed since her ex-husband divorced her. Calista was pissed! She wasn't dead! Of course, the fire would never kill her! Since the jail bar blocked magic, she at first couldn't burn it but after the fire itself burn some of it, she could use her magic the end the fire.
She really hates Viviana and how Kaiser. If she can't have Kaiser, knowing should! She needs power soon! But how!? The answer was very easy, if you can't rise to the top, may as well get the crown~
Calista smirked and went to one maid.
"I have one last wish~ Let me have one last tea salon with empress Annabell and Queen Eirlys,"
The maid was not happy but agree to ask the empress and queen as Calista thought it was time to use her illegal soldier who she train to bless this wonderful family~ Making sure their family name will live on forever~ Having, most of Calista's soldier dress up as royal guards, to blend in and having Calista noble follower ready to be on Calista side. The maid came back.
"Lady Calista, the empress, and queen agree… please follow me,"
The maid said as Calista look at her personal maid who nodded. Knowing the plan. Calista walk towards the garden where Empress Annabell and Queen Eirlys were having a small chat. They stop when Calista was here. Calista greeted them and put on a perfect smile. The empress just gives her a disgusted look.
"Your majesty and your highness, I am grateful you blessed me with this one last wish…"
Calista had a seat and Empress Annabell refused to look at a cheater.
"It was your last wish as an ex-crown princess after all,"
Queen Eirlys sip her tea, and Calista could feel her blood pressure go up. She did her best to stay calm and be a perfect lady. Now that Calista thought about it, she never saw Queen Eirlys much, but she can understand why Kaiser was so handsome and cold at times. He was like his mother. Ruby's eyes can shine bright with joy or glow dark as hell.
"As my last gift as an ex-crown princess… I made some apple pie…"
Her personal maid came and place the apple pie on the glass table.
"Tch… I don't want some dirty cheater dish!"
Empress Annabell huffed. Calista just fakes a smile. Deep inside, Calista was very angry!
"Sister Annabell, even I don't wish to touch or even look at it, however, it is her last gift… right?"
Queen Eirlys looked toward Calista and she nodded. Caslista just wants them to taste it. One bite is enough to send them to heaven. The maid cut a piece of apple pie for both of the Makladys. Empress Annabell didn't agree but soon after ate it.
"This is very sweet! Thank you for the last gift,"
Queen Eirlys fake a smile.
"Yes, it's very sweet if I say…"
Empress Annabell put her fork down as Queen Eirlys started to cough up blood.
"-what is this-"
Queen Eirlys cough up more blood as Empress Annabell panics!
"Quick! Call the royal doctor!"
The maid quickly nodded and some went to get some guards. Then Empress Annabell started to cough up blood, as Queen Eirlys cough blood non-stop and fell onto the ground. Having her head hit the ground bleeding.
Empress Annabell went onto her knees and held Queen Eirlys head up!
"Sister Eirlys!! Please stay alive! The royal doctor is here soon!!"
Calista took this chance to take out a knife that was hidden under her dress.
"Guards! GET CALIS- WHAT ARE YOU DO-"
Calista stabbed Empress Annabell in the head. Calista came out and started to kill everyone who dare stop or get in their way. The maid who tries to run to get the royal doctor also dies. Calista then started to laugh.
"Your majesty! We killed everyone in the garden! What do you want us to do next?"
Calista smirked a bit before she stood up to face the many soldiers.
"I am not Emperor yet! Just wait! I first want you to find Emperor Leonidas and bring his head to me, so we can show it to my dear ex-husband ~ Make sure to find my ex-husband and keep him alive! Tie him up before I get to him,"
Calista stepped on both the empress and queen who was now dead.
"Yes ma'am!"
The soldier shouted and went to do their task as Calista dragged the empress towards the palace as you can hear people screaming in horror and blood on the glass.
Calista grabs the empress's hair and yank her dead head up.
"You smell that~? Smell like power coming towards me~"
