As the crown prince opened the door and revealed a woman standing calmly, his fiancé. He hurriedly walked towards his fiancé clenching both her shoulders.
"Why didn't you deny it!? You know it's not you, why!? Won't you regret claiming someone else's crime and leaving all the people who cherish you!"
The crown prince shouted as he clenched his hands harder on the woman's shoulder, but the woman didn't even try to complain or remove his hands.
"I won't regret anything that happened today or tomorrow, I only regret loving you, you make me feel that I'm just a woman without any value that can be easily reached and be neglected again" The woman replied as she shoved the man's hand down and stepped back.
He just stood there lowering his head and clenched his hand tight until it wounded.
Then the woman walked towards the table near the bed and reached for the envelope on the table, and walked back towards the crown prince and handed the envelope.
"Your Highness, please read this after my execution tomorrow"
"You... Are you really ready to die?" He said and looked at the woman who handed the envelope with an undescribable expression shown in his face.
"This is my only wish, I hope your highness will fulfill it" the woman said as she looked at the crown prince straight in the eyes.
The crown prince just looked back at her eyes, he can clearly see there's not light that is always in her eyes like the old times.
The crown prince turned around to leave, but stopped and glanced at her fiancé for a second, seeing his fiancé sitting on the side of the bed looking at the window blankly and already accepting the fate ahead of her, he felt a throb in his heart that he couldn't understand.

"Please, take my order!"
At souel, a small eatry near a hospital and a big company was popular for all the workers.
"Can I order some water?"
Kim Ari, a young adult in her 20's worked here.
"Please wait a second!" Ari cheerfully said as she carried the tray towards the customer.
"Here is your order." Ari said as she gently put the food on the table.
"Isn't she the daughter of the Tycoon, what is her name again?",
"Ah... Kim Ari"
"Here's your order" Ari just put the food the costumer gently in their table and quitely leaves.

"I'll be going now!" Saying goodbye before going out.
Kim Ari's time was up, she walked out from the back door after getting her stuff.
"Be careful on the road!" One of her workmates shouted, warning her. "I will!" Ari replied.
As Ari walked, people who recognised her would look at her with disgust at their eyes , "Isn't she the daughter of the famous deceased actress?, tsk, she even has a nerve to live her life luxuriously"
The daughter of the famous actress and business tycoon living her life luxuriously?, Eh... Who spread such rumors.
Ari got used to such rumours. So she ignored all those rumours surrounding her.... It's not like if she interfered would things change?
A young adult woman for being kicked out from her own home, just because she's useless and only given an allowance every week that makes her survive in a whole year in this horrible world, that's me Kim Ari.
The unwanted child of her father and hated by her own brother, working as a part timer to get extra money saving it for the future.
Ari crossed the road without even realizing a truck was driving out of control and hit her making her roll and hit her head hard on the ground, blood quickly spread out from her forehead.
"I-it hurts" Ari mumbled, trying to force herself to move but couldn't, as her eyes slowly closed only seeing a blurry figure of someone running towards her.
~~~
"How long are you going to sleep?, I'm tired of waiting!"
Ari slowly opened her eyes, only seeing white walls around her and a boy in his teens floating in the air, Ari quickly sat up as she saw the boy floating in the air, and rubbed her eyes twice.
"W-who are you!?" Ari said as she looked around the place "And where Am I!?" She added
"You're already dead" the boy said without biting an eye, and stood on his own feet.
Ari just looked at him with a puzzled expression, "You died in this world" he said after sighing softly.
Ari just lowered her head and was silent for a second. "Then why Am I here?, and again who are you?" She said breaking her own silence.
"I'm Fija, I'm a god from another world" Fija said
"I see" Ari said no sign of shock or surprise in her tone, like she's expecting this to happen.
The young boy silently pointed, at the right side, which Ari's eyes slowly followed as she stood up.
There, she saw the scene of an ambulance arrived at the crowded place, as the nurses got out and ran to the scene, Ari saw her unconscious body lying on the road covered with blood.
She silently watched the nurses gently carry her body to place the stretcher, she smiled bitterly. "They would be happy to hear this."
Fija looked at Ari's eyes full of sadness yet mixed with happiness. He walked closer to Ari and tucked her sleeve. "What life do you want to live?" He suddenly asked, catching Ari's attention.
She looked at the young boy beside her and still couldn't believe such a young child could be a god.
She sighs before answering " I don't know, I was just living like other humans do sleep, eat, work and repeat"
"I didn't mean it like that, what do you want to live for."
Ari titled her head a bit thinking, what to answer to the young boy's questions.
"Money" Ari answered, when all she could think of was money.
"I see" the young boy said then smoothly flew in the air. " Then, I shall reincarnate you to my world"
"Can you give me the ability to create clothes that I want.... And things that cosplayers need to like wigs, eye contacts and make ups " she said looking at the flying boy in front of her.
Fija just smiles "I shall give you a small gift for accepting my invitation" by saying those words, he snaps his fingers, and a light of circle surrounded Ari, startling her.
As she glanced at her hands, it started to fade away, instead of feeling afraid, she felt warm like some angels were hugging her to smooth her emotions, she looked at the young boy in front of her and happily smiled before fading away completely.
~~~
Ari slowly opened her eyes in a room filled with antiques that cost millions in the modern world, the ceiling before her eyes has a well hand-craved design on it, mesmerized she stares at it for some time now, after all it was the first time seeing such fine art, even though her father's mansion was as beautiful as the room she's in right now.
She slowly sat up and stretched her hand up high, and realized a paper lying neatly beside her pillow, looked at it.
The words on the paper: Name of the Bank: Wistorian Bank
Number of plates: 10092
Codename: Cheerie Plum
Net worth: 2.2 Billion Gold
Password: Cake cherry
After Ari finishes reading, her mind turned blank seeing the Net worth written in the paper, she put the paper down and rubbed her eyes twice, before looking at the paper once again. Seeing the Net worth for the second time she happily hugged the paper, knowing that this was god Fija's little gift he mentioned. Seeing such money she thought she could live without even working for a lifetime.
A moment later after she calmed down, she got off in bed and walked straight to the mirror, where she sees a young lady with fair skin and peach like hair colour and soft light lavender eyes in front of her, she gently caresses her face and stares at the mirror intensely, seeing the young lady's face, she sense some familiarity she tilt her head a little, 'peach like hair colour, soft lavender eyes' an idea come to her mind, she take few steps back.
'You...got to be kidding me?, of all characters why her!?' she thought, her face slightly pale.
"The princ's golden flower" the first and the last novel Ari read, a novel where the prince fall in love at first in the protagonist, like some novel it has a common plot and ending, but there one character that stir this novel which a young noble lady with peach like hair colour and soft lavender eyes,"Realynn De Exykyl" the fiance of the crown prince or also known as the one-sided love Villainess or not your typical Villainess.
Why she is called the 'not your typical Villainess'?
Unlike other Villainess she doesn't want the protagonist died, instead the crown prince himself, being obsessed with the crown prince she can't stand watching him being with other young ladies, driven by the thoughts if she can't have him no one can, she make a deal with the empire's enemy just to start a war and drag the crown prince to his death, but all come to vain when the protagonist accidentally find the letter containing the deals and plans. Which leads to her death.
What all the readers thought....
What blossoms the readers interested is, how the author describes the young lady's expressions, as the chapters continued the author only described: "hopelessness seeing the heroine holding the letters that was in her drawer she fell down in her knees, in her eyes instead of anger or hatred there was fear and confused in them, she wanted to speak but hold it back her whole body trembling, as the knight took her away she didn't say a word and looked at the crown prince with a question in her eyes, her thoughts scattered around can't think how the letter was in her drawer and how she get in her current situation right now!?"
By these descriptions, many were questioning if the Realynn really was the villainess or she was just framed. On the following chapters, it was revealed that all the scenes where the villainess was involved was just a conclusion that Heroine herself came up with... By reading the letters.
Many readers were curious, of all the scenes was the truthful or just a biased conclusion created by the heroine herself? These thoughts were agreed by many readers, some even demanded a proper explanation but the author just ignore them, and later on the author gone to hiatus and 1 year later the novel "The prince's golden flower" was announced discontinued.
Like other readers, the novel was forgotten and was rarely mentioned after the announcement.
'You got to be kidding me!' Ari thought falling into her knees, feeling devastated and overwhelmed of emotion, 'I don't want to die twice!, one death is enough!' she stared at the floor for a while.
A knock on the door caught her attention, and a maid politely entered, "My lady!" The polite and composed posture of the maid suddenly vanished seeing Realynn in the floor. "Are you hurt somewhere, my lady?" She knelt in front of Realynn and helped Realynn to stand up.
"I'm fine, thank you" Realynn said, slowly stood up with assistance of the maid. 'I let my emotion, got the best of me'.
"Please sit here, my lady" the maid said as she pulled the chair under the desk in front of them.
"Are you sick?, I should tell the duke that you need some rest, my lady" the maid said, then politely bowed and turned around to leave.
Realynn looked at herself in the mirror, 'even if this lady has a tragic ending, she is still the dukes only daughter, she lives in a luxurious life since birth..."
Realynn like Ari, was also neglected by her own father because of the same reason, the death of their mother during child birth. But was raised differently.
Realynn lived luxuriously despite the neglect of her father and brother on the other hand Ari has to pick up crams or eat leftovers of her brother just to fill and have an energy to do the household chores despite of having many maids.
~~~
Three days passed, and Realynn still didn't meet anyone nor go out, for the excuse of being sick.
"My lady, have more pastries" as the maid gently placed the new batch of pasties in the table beside Realynn.
This time there in the balcony, slowly watching the sunset, and the golden sky caused by the setting sun, that was soon after replaced by the twinkling stars in sky, it's already night time.
'Another day ended again' Realynn thought as she stood up from her chair ready to go inside, since the breeze started to feel cold. This past three days it's recently become her hobby to looked at the sunsetting, while eating pastries and drinking tea.
She stood there for awhile to looked the endless beautiful sky in of her. "My lady your bath is ready" another maid came in and stood beside the other maid patiently, waiting for their lady to first come inside.
Upon hearing the maid's words, Realynn slightly lowered her head before turning and went inside. Which the maid silently followed after.
Arriving at the bathroom, the maids helped Realynn to take off her dress and garment, she quietly followed the maid gestures being quite used of this type of tradition, at first she felt embarrassed being seen naked by other people worst being helped cleaning herself, which she's been doing since a child.
The two maids slightly held Realynn, assisting her to soak in the bathtub. As the maids gently wiped Realynn's body with a soft and clean towel, she stares at the wall in front of before letting out a long sigh.
"My lady, do you feel any discomfort?" The other maid asked after hearing the Realynn let out a long sigh, concerned if she found any discomfort in the bath. Realynn turned towards the maid who just spoke and smiled before speaking: "I'm fine". Then looked back to the wall again, slightly sinking her body under the warm, as felt the calm and warmth through her skin.
After the bath, like other young ladies, Realynn sat in front of the mirror as the maid gently and carefully brushed her long and silky peach.
"My lady, please wake up early tomorrow, the young master asked to have with you in the morning at the garden."
After hearing those words, she felt a throb in her heart, it was rare for the young master to invite Realynn to tea, since they have no close relationship as siblings.
After the maid finished combing Realynn's hair she greeted the Realynn a good night then went out leaving Realynn all alone in such spacious room. She stood up and went straight to bed, as she finished tugging herself to sleep, she still didn't feel sleepy and looked at the ceiling, her gaze following the pattern of the majestic flower carved on the ceiling, for a while she continued to looked back and forth, from start to the end of the pattern until finally she felt her eyes heavy and slowly close them, sleeping soundly without any interference, under the beautiful moon softly shining half of the room that lessen the darkness.
