Chapter 5 - Her Past (1)

TW : Abuse ; Rape

Kyra smiled at the thought.If she can raise Prince Cassian right, who knows how big of a backer he can be in the future?If she can properly awaken him then he won't go mad and die at such a young age.Kyra is confident that Prince Cassian would pay off her good deeds.

Kyra knows that it'd look like he's using him but this will be a give and take.Raise him properly as an emperor then he'll back her up in the future.It's an agreement Cassian doesn't need to know, at least that's what Kyra thought.

At this point where her heart closed off of all affections, all of her actions and the emotions she's showing off were all just of interest and not affection.She's interested with Cassian as her probable ally.

Kyra swears to not be a slave to her own emotions again.Instead, she locks it up and controls it before anything else.

Emotions was what got her best in her past life.

She lived as the Duke's only daughter.Her mother died while giving birth to her while her father passed away when she was 9.The Dukedom was passed to her uncle as there wasn't a direct descendant that could rule the territory.

In her past life she was engaged to the crown prince at the age of 10.Though she lost both of her parents Kyra still lived her life at that time with wealth and joy.As the crown prince's fiance and a duke's daughter, she held a different kind of nobility.

With her grace and wit, Kyra drowned on the empire's lime light.She was the belle of every ball.

That was until her 18th birthday.

At that time Kyra wasn't aware of her own powers, that's when all hell broke loose.

As if enchanted, Almost everybody around her started acting weird.Hands started reaching out towards her uncontrollably, voices started to get louder yelling at her not to go away.Kyra was confused but she knows— these people are crazy and at that time, she doesn't know why.

Kyra panicked.She started running but a crowd started chasing her.Stampedes occured but that didn't stop them from chasing Kyra.Men or women, They all wanted her.

As if a prince from a fairy tale, Crown Prince Elias, her fiance, saved her from the crowd.After the chase was over, Elias calmed her down.Kyra hugged him tightly not knowing that he was just as crazy, or better yet, much crazier than what had pursued her earlier.

After that hug, all Kyra remembered was that they shared a light kiss and after looking Elias at the eyes, she became unconscious.

When she woke up...her body felt tired and it was aching, marks and bruises all over her naked body.Kyra didn't want to think of it... but even if she did, it was her fiance who did it.

Kyra didn't know if it was right or wrong.if she liked it or not.Her mind went blank and tears just kept on flowing out of her eyes.She didn't know how to feel that time because just hours before, she was enjoying herself.

It felt as if her dream land crashed, waking her up in the sad reality.She felt lost and confused.

Elias, who woke up beside her, acted confuse and said that she was awake at that time, showing the nail scratches on his back.He told her that maybe she was just drunk and because of the uneasyness she felt after being chase, she forgot all of it.

Kyra, who lived in such a small world, believed in it.She thought at that time that she wanted it, gaslighting her self that why would this matter?It was her fiance, the crown prince.

With a troubled heart, she tried to bury all of her worries.

After that, Elias explained what had happened at the banquet, why people chased her.Elias said that her powers awakened, the power of enchantment.

༻✦༺  ༻✧༺ ༻✦༺

There are 2 major types of power, the Auror and the Nyx.

Under the said major types are list of various powers that a number of people had awakened.Each are unique in their own way as this resembled the person that awakened it.

It was only separated into two because the power of Nyx are mostly used in bad deeds while the power of auror is much more seen in a holy light.

Like their names, Auror from Aurora which means dawn while Nyx means night.

and under this two major types of power, Elias said that her power of enchantment fell under the category of Nyx.

With this sudden information dropping on her, Kyra got terrified because she knows that people with the powers of Nyx are immediately detained even though they haven't done anything yet ...just to prevent it if they ever do something ...

Because the temple painted them as the devil's summons.

In order for one to awaken a power, it was believed that gods and goddesses themselves bless a person, giving a part of their power.

So if the powers of Nyx are awakened, All are convinced that they are blessed by the devil.

Taking advantage of her fear Elias gave his sympathy and played the role of a really empathetic loving fiance.He said that since she'll soon be a part of the royal family, she wouldn't need to think of anything.

'I will protect you',he said.

After that, he gave her a mask since even with just someone seeing her face they can immediately get enchanted.Hence why she was chased back then.The mask shall serve as a lock for her powers.Elias even explained that he isn't affected with her powers since he is much stonger than him.

With this, Kyra was relieved that Elias wouldn't act strangely as those people but Kyra didn't know that him not acting strange was already strange enough since what she didn't know back then was her powers were much stronger than him.

Kyra spent the rest of her first life covered with a mask.Since covering it,Her name as the Empire's prettiest flower slowly deteriorated.They all wondered,What happened with her face?

No one remembered what happened at Kyra's 18th birthday party.The royal family played it off and said that an enemy entered and made everyone fall asleep.Those who got injured during the stampede were even healed.

There was no evidence of Kyra's power awakening that's why everyone wondered, Why is Kyra covering her face?Perhaps, Did the enemy injured it?

With everyone slowly scorning her, Kyra slowly felt uncomfortable living inside the palace.

Meanwhile almost everynight...Elias would do unspeakable things towards her.He coaxed her throughout, saying that this is normal.They were fiances.

Kyra would just lay down, accepting it while her heart slowly breaks every time.Her Elias isn't like this.They weren't like this before.She wasn't like this before.

Now all she can do is stay inside her room like a pretty bird trapped in a cage.Kyra slowly became isolated from the outside.It was as if Kyra was just a slave for Elias's needs but Kyra was still calm, they're fiances.

They will get married soon and everyone will know that she is the crown princess.

But 2 years passed by, they were still fiances.
