Chapter 27 - Starting Different

The glamorous entrance of the Imperial Ballroom was decorated with thousands of rare gemstones and magic stones which change color with every passing moment. Today, powerful families and prominent figures from different parts of the Empire along with other kingdoms have come to see the prosperous Amanso. Amanso rules one-third of the whole earth but the Emperor didn't name his heir yet. As a result, many kingdoms sent their princesses just in case they can catch the eyes of one of the princes as all princes have equal chances of sitting on the Silver Throne. To the world, Amanso has only two princes but today, another prince is going to be introduced to the world as the First Aster also the wielder of the Darkness.

I looked at Izaak who had his hand extended for me to hold. He didn't seem nervous at all when I was freacking out from inside thinking about the reactions of others. According to Izaak, none other than the Emperor and the Family of Grand Duke Casvoner know about him giving the title of First Aster.

'' Nervous?'' He asked while grinning. I took a deep breath and held his hand. '' I have seen the worst,'' He chuckled and signaled the guard to announce our entrance.

'' None will degrade you so hold your head high, Princess,'' Izaak whispered those words as softly as he could but that was enough to take away my worries. I glanced at his confident self, his eyes were different than Atticus's despite having the same eye color, they held the same level of softness and willpower. I smiled and watched the door opening announcing,

'' WELCOMING THE FIRST ASTER, IZAAK GABRIEL DE AMANSO AND SECOND LADY OF HOUSE DE CASVONER, VALENTIARA VON CASVONER!''

Both of us stepped inside the ballroom which was lavishly decorated with silk, gemstones, and mana stones, perfectly exhibiting the wealth and power of Amanso. People were looking at us in shock. While envoys from other kingdoms looked puzzled by Izaak's sudden appearance their princesses were clearly drooling over his beauty which is in one word marvelous. Even the eyes over me were different from my past life, is that because I entered with Izaak who is clearly called First Aster giving him the first right to inherit the title of Emperor.

'' The First Aster has silver hair!'' One of the nobles among the crowd exclaimed. Mummering filled the room instantly, I glanced at Izaak who had a satisfactory smile on his lips.

'' Someone should learn how to dramatize a situation without even trying from you, Your Highness,'' I told him. '' I will take that as a compliment Princess.'' He smiled radiating brightness. And what happened next was something that I predicted.

'' He is handsome!''

'' Look at His Highness, his smile makes him look like an angel,''

'' I thought His Highness Atticus is the most gorgeous man in the Empire but His Highness Izaak is beyond his reach,''

'' Lady Casvoner is so lucky. She is His Highness Izaak's first partner,''

'' I am jealous,''

These words filled the circles of Young Noble ladies invited there. I don't know why but it was clear that Izaak was enjoying the attention while I was feeling uneasy. Both of us seat in the seat dedicated to the First Aster and His Partner. It was obvious that Izaak and I were the star of the ball. Feeling the burning gazes of the young ladies who were waiting to approach Izaak I turned my head and glared at them coldly. I heard Izaak giggling, '' What's so funny?'' I asked with narrow eyes. He shook his head and patted the back of my hand, '' You will scare them off Princess. I didn't give extra care for my looks for nothing.'' I glared and slapped his hand off, '' Your looks will cause troubles, Dear First Aster. Moon Palace will be floating with letters from tomorrow.'' He leaned closer to me and asked, '' Hey! Are you jealous?'' My eyes widen hearing his nonsense. I was about to open my mouth to deny but the Emperor's entrance announcement stopped me.

'' GREET THE RULER AND MASTER OF SILVER THRONE ARTEMIS ALEXO DE AMANSO AND THE MOTHERS OF AMANSO EMPRESS ELISIS DE AMANSO AND SECOND QUEEN MARY DE AMANSO.''

Every male presented in the room got on one knee and the female lifted their ball gown and bowed to greet them. Stealing a glance of those three their death screen came in front of my eyes. Just how painful an ending did these three people have in my past life, really nothing can beat God's justice.

Empress Elisis De Amanso is called the 'LILY' due to her calming beauty but in reality, her roots are rotten and spoiled by greed Second Queen Mary De Amanos is named 'SPRING' for her beautiful green hair and caring nature when she is nothing but a poisonous weed who is sitting on the throne of Queen by using Black Magic. At last the Emperor, a man with unmatched rulership and sword skills in the history of the Empire, the so-called savior is nothing better than a shameless scum who oppresses his own son because he is scared of Izaak's power. Seeing them once again, I felt both anger and pity, after all, this time I have no plan of going easy on them.

The Emperor who used me to subdue the enemy forces at the cost of me losing my capability of using my left leg properly, The Empress who made me a jokester in front of the whole world by calling me Atticus's Mistress, and The Queen who showed me the fake love of mother just so I could support her son and threw me away when she was done with her mission.

I clenched my fist understanding one thing,

Revenge has taken a deep root in my heart so hoping for a calm life is just a vain.
