3 YEARS LATER
"You wretched woman!" shouted Prince Alan. He pushed Emily onto the ground.
Emily fell onto the ground and her knees and arms were both scrapped. She was bleeding. Her white blindfold was still wrapped around her eyes and her white veil was still covering her face. She was dressed in rage.
Prince Alan said to Levi, "Give me my whip."
"Yes," said Lev.
Prince Alan took up his whip from him.
Emily was frightened and backed away from him.
"Today, if I don't teach you a lesson you won't learn." He raised his hand and started whipping her.
Emily was crying in pain.
Crack. Crack. Crack. Prince Alan's whip cracked across her back. He whipped her till her back was soaked in blood.
The maids and servants all chuckled and giggled as Emily was being beaten to death.
Prince Alan panted as he was exhausted from beating her.
Emily lay motionless on the ground.
"Is she dead?' asked the maid.
"Humph, who cares," said one of the servant.
"Leave her there," said Prince Alan. He walked away. "No one is to help her."
"Prince Alan," said Levi.
"What?" Prince Alan sneered at him.
"I think she fainted."
"Humph!" He glanced back at her bloody body, but he held no remorse for what he did. "Good."
Levi bowed.
"Let's go. That wretched body is giving me a headache."
"Yes, Prince Alan." He followed Prince Alan out of the filthy courtyard.
"Worthless!" exclaimed Prince Alan. Prince Alan was a handsome man. He have a striking features that made him stood out among his brothers. He was tall and lean. He had muscles that wouldn't be hidden if it wasn't because of the colors of his skin. He had long black hair and dark brown eyes.
It was late into the night when Emily woke up. She was barely able to get up, but she needed to get inside her broken up room. She needed to heal up. With all the strength she had she lifted herself up off the ground. She saw the ground was covered with her blood. Her hands was also smeared with blood.
When she got into her room, she closed the door. She took off her ragged clothes and started healing herself. Her hands were glowing an aqua color. She was using her magic to heal her. She groaned in pain as her wounds closed up. Unlike her mother and father, who were non magic users, she was an enchantress. She had healing powers. Her healing powers are only exclusive to her. If she heals anyone else it can only be a small amount at a time.
Prince Alan knew this, so he used her every day to help him heal a little bit at a time. He was angry that she couldn't heal him faster. He thought that she was using it as an excuse, so he doesn't kill her. But whatever she was scheming he will play along until he is completely healed. Now, he would take whatever he could from her until he became normal again. He doesn't want to be this monster that he is now.
"Ow," groaned Emily. She touched her back and felt that it was nearly healed. She took off her undergarment and was half naked. She summoned her magic and started healing the rest of the deeper wounds. After she was done, she changed out of her torn and ragged clothes. She put on another ragged clothing.
As she finished putting on her clothes she stared into the mirror. In the mirror was a beautiful woman. She had dark hair with dark blue eyes. She had white milky skin. Her skin couldn't tan but burns in the bright sun. Afterward she will peel from the sunburn. After she peeled, she just become whiter. She had large breasts. Much larger than those women in ancient time. She blamed it on all herbs that her mom put in the jar when brewing her full of medicines. Since she hit her puberty, her breasts kept growing and growing. Even though she was a skinny woman she had all the right curves in all the right part. Her hips was nice, and her butt was firm and round.
Emily put on another ragged clothes that was actually an elegant dress. Her sleeves float around her. Her dress was beautiful, and they were majority off the shoulder, exposing her big breasts. Her mother taught her how to sew, sing, dance, and play all sorts of instruments. Her mother, living in the palace, had learned all those skills so she too was also told to learn them. When they lived on the forbidden mountain her mother had forgotten about her, so she had to learn to cook for herself. On her own she have perfected her cooking skills. She cooked as good as any palace chef or even better.
Emily looked at her hands. Her personal aura was blue. It was her body. Her body was full of rare herbals and plants that her mother put inside of her. It was something that would help her heal the prince. Her mother feared that one day when she would become a victim of the prince, the only way to save her was her healing abilities and medicine body.
Emily thought it was strange how her mother had prepared her for all of this. She even taught Emily medicines and poisons. She taught Emily every trick there is of becoming an alchemist. Emily is now the youngest and most gifted alchemist ever. However, no one knew that for she kept it all hidden.
Before her mother died, her mother put a powerful spell on her. Her mother stole this spell from the old monk. When her mother went to the temple to beg the old monk for help, he refused. In anger she stole the spell. This spell will hide the real identity of the person until the person turns twenty-one. Until then only one person who pour water over her will see her real look.
Susie knew how beautiful her daughter was. Her daughter was a true deity but in human form. She was a nice and kind girl. But with the prince's temper who knows what horrible thing he will do to her. He may share her among other men or sell her into prostitution. Afraid of his wicked ways she hid her daughter's beauty. She put a blindfold on her and a white veil around her face to hide her from the world. She brewed her daughter's body in tonic and powerful medicines to help her stay safe from the prince's resentment. Even though the prince will use her daughter's blood and healing powers, it was better than him killing her.
"I'm sorry my child, but this is the only way. If one day the prince escapes or someone rescue the prince, this is the only way to keep you safe from harm. Under the prince's protection you will be kept well-hidden and away from evil people," said Susie.
Emily sighed. She understands that what the prince is doing to her now is his anger at what his mother did to him. His resentment of her mother poisoning him and killing his younger brother. The cycle of hatred, anger, and revenge is unending.
