"I hear by announce that the perpetrator, Hestia Vermilion is proven guilty for her crimes of killing the innocent nobles and for using black magic which is ban in the entire Empire." The court judge said her final words, the people–no, the nobles who witnessed the trial were in tears of joy and applauding after the suspect was proven guilty.
"Any last words, Hestia Vermilion?" A man asked while looking at Hestia on her execution day. The woman grinned and look at everyone who's witnessing her death and said her last words.
"Hah... I won't ask for forgiveness from all of you, I Hestia Vermilion stand right before you with confident until my death." This is the pride of a Vermilion that everyone are looking at.
She wandered her eyes around and no one was there to save or stand on her side. She realize she was lonely, no she was lonely to begin with. If she had killed herself on the day she lost her family and realized that she lost everything, she won't feel such loneliness right?
She kneeled on the guillotine and put her head on the lunette. She gently closed her eyes after she heard the sound of the glassy blade.
The blade fell down and hit her neck, as a result, her head was separated from her body as bloods splattered all over. People who witnessed her death were cheering for the death of a criminal. It was weird that the people are cheering after witnessing a death sentence rather than shivering in fear on a very disturbing scene.
Hestia's sight went all black after the blade hit her neck...She died. Hestia was still as prideful as a Vermilion even in her last day. However neither did those people had understand her, She was clearly in pain. No, She suffered a miserable life. It wasn't because she was broken that lead her to do those evil things because it wasn't her doing, after all she was framed.
Those blades that hit my neck are so painful but not long, the pain ceased and as if everything that happened to me are just like a nightmare and had to open my eyes in this wonderful place. Is this what they called the 'Afterlife'? Whatever, I just want to rest and live in this kind of place, it's bright, colorful and peaceful. I even forget about my problems when I look in this place.
Hestia went and rest herself under the tree while mesmerizing the beauty of it. "The trees in here are totally different than the ones that I always saw on my world." She was busy mesmerizing the beauty of this land that she didn't even realize that she feel asleep.
My surroundings became noisy, it was not peaceful as it was earlier. I opened my eyes and saw those familiar faces of the people I once knew. The tears that touched my bare-skin and the whimper sounds of their crying. They embraced me with such a warm hug just then I realize that I was crying, my tears came running down on my cheeks. I missed them so much, I was longing for their warm love for over 10 years and now here I am. If this is afterlife then I wouldn't mind staying here than finding a way to reincarnate.
How could I forgot such a warm memories as this? I should have cherished it back then. Back when everything was fine and those incident haven't happened yet. But, did I come back from the past?
Really? was I so unfortunate and miserable to be given such a second chance? Still, I'm thankful for this since I can save my family in this life. I promise to get my revenge to those people who made my life miserable and avenge my family who murdered and ruined them, I swear on my name as a Vermilion.

Her amethyst eyes were glowing after promising to get her revenge. After they embraced her, Her mother touch her cheeks and pinch it which made her to come back to her senses. She pout her mouth while her brothers were laughing on how they see Hestia's face just now.
She glared at them and asked, "What are you laughing at?!" One of her brothers named Hugh cleared his throat to stop himself from laughing and said, "Are you sure you're trying to look cute? 'Cause your face says you're not and it said you're ugly."
Her brother burst out laughing which made her annoyed even more and decided to throw her pillows on their faces, her brothers throw it back to her and ended up having a pillow fight, while their mother is also laughing at the sight of her three kids that are acting like a child.
They looked childish that even nobles would faint if they see the sight of this prideful family.
"Stop it!" Their father yelled as he tried to stop his children and that made the siblings to eventually froze yet their mother throw the pillow into their father's serious face and laugh out loud.
The siblings couldn't hold it either and laugh at their father which also made him laugh and join his family's pillow fight.
I wish time would stop right now and stuck on this time where I felt the warm of their love again but I know it's impossible, that this happiness would last forever.
