"Father stop!"

Akino yelled at our father, while he pushed me down the stairs. I could not believe it. They tricked me!

As I tried to cover up my bloody wounds, I stood up and looked into my sister's eyes.

"Oh, shut up Akino… Do not give me that pathetic look on your face!

I laughed sarcastically, while I coughed up some blood.

Proudly, I stood on my feet, while my body burned with pure hatred. My father looked at me with disgust. He pointed his finger at me, while he hugged my sister, who started trembling and crying.

"Guards! Take her to the prison!"

I was speachless. My face turned shocked as he ordered his soldiers. From behind, I heard as the guards started approaching me, then they grabbed my hands. I tried to resist and break free from their grip.

"You can not do this! I am the heir to the throne! I did…I did everything to earn your respect…I-"

I was cut off by the guard, who cut out one of my eyes. I screamed and flinched from the pain. I quickly covered my eye with my palm, then I slowly looked at my father, he did not even moved an inch.

"Phoenix, you are no longer the heir to the throne. You tarnished the name of Magne, you humiliated me and your precious younger sister, and you arrenged the death of your fiancé!"

I could not move. I was frozen in one position, while the guards hold me thight in their arms. It was not me! I have neved did anything like that! I only followed the rules that my sister gave me-

I suddenly flinched. Wait, what? What did he just said? I arrenged my fiancé's death? Onyx…is dead…? H-How…?

"F-Father… what do you mean by that I arranged Onyx's death…?

My father's face turned red by the rage, and he pushed Akino aside.

"Do not act like you don't know any-"

"ANSWER ME!"

I cut him off, while he was speaking. I could not care less. My entire body got tense, while the guards started pulling me back.

My father's eyes started twitching, even my sister got surprised by my anger, but she quickly shook it off, and got back to my father's side.

"I am very much aware of your pitiful actions. Your sister warned me that you are about to kill your fiancé. You planned out everything! She told me that you are about to send him to the north, and get him killed by the Duke!"

That is not true! I only wanted to send him there, because Akino told me that he… That he…

I looked down to the floor. It was Akino's doing all along… I followed her blindly, believing in a better relationship with her, after our mother died. But her whole plan was to get me executed!

"Akino, my dear sister… I always thought that you loved me… But… All of your kind words, were just lies… I do not know why, I don't know why you did this to me… But I am begging you… Please, tell the truth to our father… I… I don't want to die…"

I looked at her pleading, and begging, while I started crying. I could not stop the deception I felt. I felt like my head is going to burst; my eyes were burning by the pain and the tiredness.

Everyone who was with us, looked at Akino, even our father looked at her. She got tense by the sudden accusation, but she quickly regained her posture.

"S-sister, I d-don't know what are you talking about… I have never lied to our father!"

With this, she got on her knees, and started crying and shouting.

"WHY ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF LYING? Do you hate me that much…? You hate me so much that you want to kill me too?!"

I was speechless. She started crying and whining out of nowhere, in front everyone. The King did not know how to react, nor the knights. Our father quickly grabbed her from her shoulders, and pulled her up from the ground, while she was still sobbing.

"PHOENIX, YOU ARE NO LONGER PART OF THE MAGNE FAMILY!"

He yelled at me, while he hold thight my sister in his hands.

"EXECUTE HER!"

He ordered the guards, and with that, they're started pulling me out of the castle roughly.

"FATHEEER!"
