Today my dress order from the Marchioness Aria has arrived and it is now three days away from Crown Prince Castor's Birthday Party.
Today I have been allowed to visit Prince Helios. I still can't believe the fact that Bella has manipulated Prince Helios with dark magic.
Meanwhile yesterday, Duke Curt and Duchess Curt were sentenced to death by being beheaded by the Emperor himself. Suddenly I felt goosebumps when I heard what the servants were saying as I quietly listened to them.
They say that the death penalty was attended by the nobles and also the people who gathered in the palace hall. I myself was banned there because I was considered too young to witness the execution. Though.... In the previous life I had also experienced it even though what I felt was being burned alive.
The emperor himself beheaded the former aide. What is terrible about the stories of the servants I listened to was that when the Duchess Curt pleaded for the Emperor's mercy, Duke Curt did not show any reaction. He was silent with a very pale face and like an undead.
Initially, the two of them will be executed by the executioners, but the Emperor decided he would behead the Curt couple with his own hands because for the Emperor, he would be be beheaded, Duke Curt and Duchess Curt have betrayed the trust they have placed in the couple.
In the interim, the Northern Territory itself was administered by Crown Prince Castor until the Emperor decided who was the appropriate person to administer the territory while the Emperor himself did not yet have a new aide.
I stopped walking and looked at the big door that was in front of me, the servants who were there immediately opened the door and in one, the, I could see Prince Helios sitting on his bed staring seriously at the book in his hand.
Feeling that someone was coming, Prince Helios glanced at the door where I was still in the doorway of his room. He closed the book quietly and looked at me with a very soft look.
"Why hasn't Vivi come in yet? Come in, Vivi" Prince Helios said with a gentle smile of hers.
DEG!
My heart pinched when I saw that smile and gentle tone of hers. How long has it been... I did not hear and see the tender and affectionate side of this Prince Helios...?
No Vivi! Don't be so weak like this! Remember your purpose after returning to this past!
With a slow step I began to step in and sit on the chair in front of him.
"How's Brother doing?" I asked in a quiet voice.
Prince Helios still smiled at me, "It has improved greatly. I can definitely attend Brother Castor's Birthday Party later. So Vivi don't worry about it"
Silence happens too. I don't know why the atmosphere is now awkward. Instantly came the curiosity that stood in my way. I was hesitant at first to show this, but my curiosity was much greater than this doubt of mine.
"Yes.... Is Helios really exposed to dark magic?" my many.
Prince Helios looked a little jolted, but he let out a tired sigh.
"True Vivi. I also did not expect that I had been manipulated by the dark magic power of Bella and Duke Curt. I don't know why I feel like only Bella's name is on my mind. I can't think clearly. Duke Curt even threatened that if I didn't follow his plan, my engagement to Bella would be annulled and make me inexplicably obey his every word" Prince Helios said.
I was silent hearing it. So when under the influence of dark magic, Prince Helios could still remember what happened. But he could not think clearly and obey all the words of Duke Curt because for Prince Helios, only the name Bella was on his mind and in his heart.
Dark magic is indeed very terrible, it can even change someone so easily----
Wait for.... Change someone so easily?
I recall when Crown Prince Castor, Prince Helios and Prince Blaze suddenly changed their attitude towards me so briefly in their previous lives. Those who originally loved me so much turned a hundred and eighty degrees to me and turned to love Emira, when in fact they themselves did not accept the existence of Emira and Kayla.
Not only the three of them, the other nobles were suddenly adoring Emira even though they were so dislikeful of Emira and Kayla even to the point of insulting both of them. But with some time their attitude changed by one hundred and eighty degrees....?
What's.... Emira and Kayla's mother used dark magic to lure someone like what Bella and Duke Curt did to Prince Helios? If true.... Was it when I was burned alive that my brothers were being affected by dark magic? What's.... I'm not actually hated by them....?
"Vivi... Vi, Vivi!"
I flinched and immediately looked towards Prince Helios who was looking at me with a worried look.
"What's wrong? Why do you suddenly look pale? Is Vivi sick?" Asked Prince Helios in a worried tone.
Prince Helios still looked at me, but he sighed.
"Alright, three more days is Brother Castor's Birthday. Did Vivi prepare a present for Castor's sister"
Ah, yes. I almost forgot! I turned around and looked at Diana. Diana turned forward, handing over a large box to Prince Helios.
Prince Helios himself looked puzzled, "This is what, Vivi?"
I smiled faintly, "Try Brother open"
Prince Helios opened the box, looking surprised on his face now.
"Vivi.... It's..."
I grinned faintly, "Let's explain now"
***
After visiting Prince Helios, it was now Prince Blaze's turn. Coincidentally the palace of Prince Helios and Prince Blaze was very close so I went straight there and did not feel so exhausted because it was a very close distance.
Arriving there, I was immediately greeted by the servants who immediately said that Prince Blaze was in the Library in his private palace.
The servants led me to Prince Blaze's private library. Arriving there, I saw Prince Blaze focusing on the book he was reading.
Hm... Come to think of it, me and my three brothers do have similarities with each other. We both enjoyed our study time and did not feel reluctant to show it openly. We all enjoyed our time reading books.
Prince Blaze looked at me, his eyes widened and he was surprised to see me coming.
"Vivi...." Sluggishly.
Hm? Why does he not look happy when he sees me as usual?
"I came to visit Brother Blaze!"
Prince Blaze looked down on his head as if he did not want to see me but not long after, he smiled broadly at me.
"What's up, Vivi? Does Vivi miss your brother Blaze This?" Prince Blaze asked with his usual big smile.
Gratitude enveloped me when I saw that wide smile of Prince Blaze's. Somehow it felt really strange to see Prince Blaze without his smile and it also reminded me of Prince Blaze's attitude that tormented me in the dungeon in his previous life.
I shook my head to get rid of those terrible memories and then smiled faintly at him.
"There's something I want to give my brother" I said.
Diana came forward and handed the same large box I gave Prince Helios to Prince Helios.
Prince Blaze also looked puzzled and as he opened the box, he looked extremely shocked.
"Vivi... It's..."
I smiled thinly, "Right. I am explaining it to Brother now, so please listen carefully huh"
Prince Blaze looked at me deeply and made me suddenly feel awkward. But he again smiled as brightly as the sun.
"Well, I'll obey Vivi!" Said Prince Blaze.
