The Crown Of the Greatest or TCOG for short was the game that kept me sane for so long but the pain was too much to bear and with tears streaming down my face and my hand which held the newly bought knife, trembling, I slit my throat. I died. Suddenly my eyes opened.
''Huh?! What's going on...?"
I vividly remember killing myself. My vision was blurry but after sometime I regained my sight.
"Where... am I...?"
I found myself in a big room, lying on a soft bed. I tried to get up but my knees felt weak. I took support of the objects beside me and leaned on the wall whenever possible. I made my way towards the big mirror placed in the corner of that room.
''who...? who is that....?''
I saw a man who looked as pretty as beautiful woman with locks of long blonde hair that looked like pure gold and blue eyes that were so pretty that it seemed as if someone had stuck sapphires in place of the eyes.
''so beautiful!''
I was mesmerized by the beauty of this person. Suddenly it kicked in. The description of this person perfectly matches that of Kaide Astolmov, a character from TCOG. I was still very confused. I didn't know what to do. Kaide was the pitiful character of TCOG. His lore tells us that, Kaide Astolmov, the 4th prince of a vast land named Ninyue, had lost his mother at a young age. His father, the emperor had three wives till now. His first wife, who was a vain beauty had given birth to one boy who was to become the crown prince. The emperor's second wife, did not lack beauty but she was nowhere near as pretty as the first queen. The second queen so used some exaggerated sweet words to manipulate the emperor. The second queen had a lovely pair of twin boys. The third queen, Kaide's mother had a pure and kind heart and did not have much beauty. She always spoke quite bluntly. She never really got on the good side of the emperor. The emperor really only married her for political benefit since she was from big aristocratic house. One can understand why Kaide never fit in that house.
suddenly I heard a knock on the door. I rushed to open the door.
'' Dear forth prince, his highness, the emperor is calling for you. You must go meet him.''
It was a tall maid with dark hair and green eyes. It seemed I had no choice but to meet the emperor. I reluctantly agreed to meet my father.
After the maid left, I opened the wardrobe. Before presenting myself to my father, I obviously needed to get ready. I definitely used this as an excuse to dress up Kaide. He had a pretty face and it would a waste to not dress him up. So, I picked up an alluring emerald green dress from the wardrobe. I guess now, I must meet the emperor.
