Marching came echoing in the night. Crying and slashing could be heard outside the door. I was on the floor out of life. I could feel my life sucking out as my blood slowly tickling out of my body. I could not utter a word as I could feel my own body grow colder. I was shocked to how I was in this position. My mind flew back to all the time I was so happy. I was the fiance of the crown prince and became the Empress of the most strong prestigious kingdom. I was mold since young to be able to help my partner, the king; Leonille Francis Eldiron. He was the crown prince 12 years ago and I was his partner since I was a little girl. I was 15 years old when I was fristly met the crown prince. We were 10 years gap, but it was common among the noble households. Afterall, it was a political marriage arrangement. I was not interested with anyone at that time, and Leon was very charming crown prince. He was with me every events in my life; it could be in happy, sad, and grief times. He was like an anchor when I lost my mother. I was always just a step away from every we were together. It had never come to me that I could get myself killled by my husband.
I could not erase his face as he pierced his sword through me. It was painful as my mind railed in to find reason why I was in this position. We were happy. I BELIEVED WE WERE. "Oriana, you need to die. She would not accept me if you are alive" he uttered with a fierce eyes as if desperate to please someone. "She?" My mind was questioning.
Who was he trying to replace me?
Was I that replaceable?
Was I that despicable to be killed heartlessly?
I held the sharp sword, "Leon, why?" My voice was shaky but before I could utter some more words, I was coughing blood. It was so difficult to breath as if my chest was crushing my air out of me. I was shedding in tears as I was dying.
"Oriana, I dont love you. I love her" he said as he pushed me down to the floor as the sword push more through me. "DIE." His loving voice that I remember was now replaced such cold chilling voice.
He left me out to die.
He knew I was dying and could not be healed by the healers anymore. Only miracle could save me but he did not care.
Where was the man I married to?
Where was the man who I learned to love?
What had happen to us?
Who was SHE?
Who was SHE to replace me?
Why I was at the loose end?
Why I must I die?
Why?
