Chapter 65 - Chapter 65. Polina's Past

Polina Pauliana is the second daughter of a royal knight of the Tsar.

When she was just a young child, she really adored her father.

Her father's name is Borislav Pauliana

His last name is the name of his wife.

Because he loved his wife very much.

His wife, Lyubov Pauliana is the person who made him realize that there is love in this world.

All this time, Borislav seen the hatred of humanity, he had fought in many battles and witnessed a lot of violences.

Thats why he feels that the world is full of hatred and greed.

He has a mindset like that until he met Lyubov.

And since he met her, Lyubov taught him that there is still love in this cruel and mess up world.

And since then, Borislav's mindset changed.

His personality also changed.

He become a wise man who appreciates life and because of her wife's teaching, he believes that everyone deserves love.

And as time goes, both of them finally have two daughters, which are

Alena Pauliana and Polina Pauliana.

Polina loves to see her father training.

Meanwhile, Alena likes to help her mother, because she knows this activity is the right thing to do.

Alena truly believes in justice and righteousness.

Sometimes, Borislav also trains Polina and Alena to swing a sword.

Lyubov is worried about that, but she let them to have a sword training, because Borislav insists.

He knows that there will be a day that they have to protect themselves.

Alena and Polina trains everyday.

Lyubov just seen them from the window.

Alena is a fast learner, she mastered a lot of sword techniques just for a couple of weeks.

Meanwhile, Polina just could mastered some of the sword techniques for a long time.

And as time goes, Alena and Polina becomes a teenager.

Borislav finally gives Alena a sword for her.

And so, with that sword, Alena is getting better and better on sword fight.

Meanwhile, Polina has a little development.

So, since she sees her elder sister gone better on sword fight, Polina always get up early and she trains in the morning, evening and night everyday.

But, she still can't mastered all of the techniques.

Until to the point that she give up.

She gets jealous of her own elder sister.

She sits on the staircase and cries.

But, then suddenly Alena arrived in front of her and she sits besides her and she tries to encourage her.

Alena says, "Don't be sad, Polina, you could do this, you could be like me or even stronger than me if you just train a little bit much harder."

Polina pushes Alena away and she gone mad.

Polina says, "You could said that to me, because you are talented and there is no way for me that i become stronger than you, if you are in my shoes, i bet that you will understand me!!"

Alena replies, "I understand you, Polina."

Polina says, "No, you don't!!, i had trained harder than you everyday, buh why i can't catch up to you, i'm not strong like you, i'm weak!!"

Alena replies, "No, you're not weak, you have a strong determination. And with your strong determination, you will become a knight far stronger than me!!, so be proud of yourself and keep on training and one day, you will achieve your goal. I believe in that, hard work never betrays the result!!"

Polina shouts towards her,

"LIAR!!, i hate you!!"

Then, Polina runs upstairs and return to her room.

Lyubov sees that.

So then after that, Lyubov comes to her room and opens the door.

Polina is on her bed and closes all ober her body with a blanket.

Lyubov goes towards her and sits on the bed.

Then she says, "Polina."

Polina replies, "Leave me alone, mom."

Lyubov says,

"Polina, i knew you had trained really hard to become a knight, but you don't have to force yourself to do it, dear."

Polina then asks, "Why?"

Lyubov replies,

"Because not everyone could become what they want to be."

Polina answers,

"I DON'T ACCEPT THAT!!"

Lyubov replies, "Well, i know that it is unfair, but what is matter is that you could become a strong woman who could protect yourself and others, you don't have to mastered the knights's sword technique to be strong."

Polina then asks,

"What do you mean, mother?"

Then Lyubov replies, "What i meant that theres an another way to be strong, perhaps you are not meant to be a knight, maybe you are meant to be greater and stronger than just a knight."

Polina replies, "Really?"

Lyubov smiles and nods.

Then, Polina hugs her mother and she says, "I love you, mother."

Lyubov replies,

"I really, really love you as well, Polina. Believe me and believe in yourself that you'll become a strong person one day, but to become a knight is not the answer. So, find the answer and as you find it, mastered it and as you mastered it, used that ability to help others."

And then, Polina falls asleep and Lyubov left her room.

At the midnight, Borislav hasn't return home yet.

Suddenly, Lyubov wakes Polina up.

Polina awakes and Lyubov says,

"Polina, get out from this house and run with your sister."

Polina confused and asks, "Why?"

Suddenly in front of the house, theres a couple of royal knights whose been sent by the Tsar himself.

They are kicking the door to open.

Alena quickly goes towards Lyubov and Polina.

Then Lyubov says, "Run, both of you, i'll stay here and distract them so both of you could have enough time to go far away from here."

Polina says,

"No, i won't leave you, mother."

Lyubov replies, "No, listen to me, leave this house without me, if we run together, all of us will die. So this is the only choice."

Polina says, "No!!"

She hugs Lyubov and screams,

"Please, mother, i love you, i don't want you to die."

Then, Lyubov replies, "Stay alive and find the answer that will makes you stronger."

Polina says, "No, i want you to see me, when i become stronger."

Lyubov then replies, "Polina, i'm always be with you, even if i'm gone.

I still could see you from heaven above the skies and a part of me and your father is on both of you, my dear daughters."

Then, suddenly Lyubov pushes Polina towards Alena and Lyubov says,

"Take her and run, Alena, Do as i say!!"

Alena then grabs Polina's arm, takes her sword and run.

Polina screams, "NO!!, MOTHER!!"

Lyubov then says,

"I love you, my daughters."

Alena and Polina runs as fast as she could.

Alena also cries as she run.

Meanwhile, at the house, the door finally open after been kicked many times by the royal knights.

One of the royal knight says, "Mrs.Pauliana, you are sentenced to death, because we are informed that you are helping your husband, Borislav to rebel against the Tsar."

Then, Lyubov immediately attacks the knights with a knife on her hand.

But quickly, the royal knights releases his sword and stabbed Lyubov in the stomach.

And then, the royal knight sees that the back door is open.

He sees that theres two young girls are running.

The royal knight says,

"Its Borislav's daughters, after them!!"

The other royal knights gets on their horses and chases them.

Alena keeps on running and as she looks back, the royal is getting closer towards them.

Alena then thought, "They using a horse, with that, they could run faster and reached us both."

So, then she says towards Polina, "Polina, you have to run."

Polina replies, "What, why?!!, No, please i don't want to lose you too, sister!!"

Alena then says, "Don't worry, i could hold them off with all my swordsmanship skills that i had mastered.

Now theres no time left, Polina."

Then, Polina sees the royal knights are getting closer.

Alena then shouts towards her, "RUN!!"

Then, Polina runs.

Meanwhile, Alena attacked the horses, until the horses fell to the ground and she fights against he royal knights with her own sword.

Polina run as far as possible until she doesn't heard the royal knights again.

She run until she stopped in front of the Gagarin family mansion.

Suddenly, she got knocked out by someone from behind.

The next morning, she wakes up.

As she awakes, she finds herself in a sofa.

Then, she sees a young nobleman is looking towards the window.

Polina then get up and suddenly, a young noblewoman smiles and says,

"Oh, you're awake."

Polina surprised.

And then, the young nobleman turns his look and asks her, "Whats your name?"

Polina replies,

"My name is Polina Pauliana."

And then, the young nobleman says, "Alright, Polina, nice to meet you, let me introduce myself, my name is Mikhail Gagarin and the woman beside me is my sister, Lyudmilla Gagarin."

Polina then realized and says,

"Wait, both of you are from the Gagarin family, one of the greatest Russian noble family."

Mikhail says, "Yes, indeed."

Polina then replies,

"Why do you bring me inside your mansion, what do you want from me?"

Mikhail then realized and says,

"Wait a minute, your name is Polina Pauliana, are you Borislav Pauliana's daughter?"

Lyudmilla then says,

"The royal knight whose betrayed the Tsar."

Polina goes confused and asks, "What?!"

Mikhail asks,

"You don't know about that?"

Polina then says,

"I never knew that my father wants to betray the Tsar."

Then Mikhail says,

"Well, that rumor becomes a big news on the newspaper today."

Polina asks again, "A big news?"

Then, Lyudmilla gives her the newspaper and she sees that the news stated as this,

"!! BIG NEWS !!

A ROYAL KNIGHT NAMED BORISLAV PAULIANA IS BETRAYING THE TSAR AND AS A PUNISHMENT, THE TSAR SENTENCED HIM DEATH BY EXECUTION AND THE TSAR ORDERED THE KNIGHTS TO EXECUTE HIS ENTIRE FAMILY AS WELL!!"

Polina shocked as she looks at the news and she asks, "Why?, why does the Tsar did this?, i know my father, my father is always loyal towards the Tsar, it is impossible for him to betray his majesty. This is wrong, i can't accept this."

Then, she gone mad and screams,

"I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS!!, THIS IS WRONG!!, MY FATHER WILL NEVER DO THIS SUCH A THING!!, THE TSAR IS WRONG!! I JUST LOST MY ENTIRE FAMILY, BECAUSE OF HIM!! ,I CAN'T ACCEPT HIM, I WILL AVENGE HIM, I WILL KILLED THE TSAR FOR MY FATHER, MOTHER AND ALENA!!"

After that, Mikhail says,

"Alright then, if you want to kill him, you should join us."

Polina says, "Hah?"

Mikhail says, "Actually, our parents were disappeared because of the Tsar, the last time we saw them is when they are been called by the Tsar for a meeting, but since then, they never return. Rumor says that they died cause of an accident, but i doubt that, because there is no evidence and the case close a long time ago. And usually, people who got called by the Tsar and don't return then, they usually been executed in secret from the public. So, i presumed that my parents were dead.

So same as you, i can't accept my parents's death. And that's why i'm planning to give a vengeance towards him. To do that, i can't do it on my own, i need an army. An army who could fight. And that's why, i made an organization called, "Mir Monstrov".

Polina then asks, "Mir Monstrov?"

Mikhail then says,

"Yes, this organization is filled with many well-trained assassins. I learned and i had mastered all the assassins fighting techniques and i teach all those techniques to all people who has the same goal like both of us, which is to assassinate the Tsar.

So, Polina would you like to join us to give the most painful death towards the Tsar?"

Polina immediately answers,

"YES, I WANT TO JOIN YOU AND I SWEAR THAT I'M GOING TO GIVE HIM DEATH LIKE WHAT HE DID TO MY FATHER!!"

Since then, Polina becomes an assassin by joining the "Mir Monstrov" organization and she trains so hard until she becomes the second strongest assassin on that organization.
