Villains also get Second chance

Chapter 385: New Chapter



Chapter 385: New Chapter

I have grown up looking at my free spirited elder sister and my elder brother who was strong hearted and always knew what they wanted in their life.

My sister, Elina, fought to get a high position in the administrative department and then married the man she loved. The duke of the northern empire, Kassov De Levita and now she was known as one of the strongest women of the empire.

While my brother Leonardo, became the greatest knight and chancellor at a young age proving his worth to the empire as the future emperor.

Even Philip, my step brother, my father's son from his concubine, was a great achiever in business. He was managing all the trade from other kingdoms and known as the magician of the business world.

They all have a great name in the empire, people look up to them and me too. But when it comes to me, everyone has their tongue tied. I was the youngest child of the empire, who is known as a sheltered princess. Why?

Because I was weak since birth, the physician declared me unfit to learn fencing. When it came to the matter of politics, they called me too kind to take the decisions, as I always listen to my heart and do not believe in harsh punishments.

I have always been loved and pampered by my family so much that even when I have nothing remarkable on my name, I did not care much. I was happy to play with the birds and spend my time in the library reading every book ever existed in the empire. If only it would have been a talent too!

"Do not worry darling, one day you will be married to a prince who will love and cherish you more than us and you will have your happily ever after." my mother used to tell me everyday.

So, all my life, I have dreamt of a prince. I never felt in love as I knew that I would be married to a prince one day who would come on the white horse to take me with him. That was the least I could do for the empire, for the family, for my father who has never found fault in me. That was what a princess should do!

So, here I was getting married to the emperor of the Forchestier Empire, Charles De Christatia. This alliance will help in gaining more power to both nations so that they could fight against the Veristia empire, who have been threatening war for the past few years.

Though it was an alliance, my mother assured me that the man would love and cherish me like she was loved by father. And that was the only consolation I had.

"You are doing your best to serve the empire, the citizens will always be grateful to you." said my father as he patted my shoulder, "I am sending Philip with you. He will make sure that you will settle well there." I smiled and nodded as I assured him that I was fine with his decision.

It was not like I love anyone else or have something noble to do here, I was just an extra after all!

"Mother, i have heard that the emperor had a love marriage with the concubine.'' I asked what I have heard from the maids who have gone to the Forchestier empire with the proposal of the alliance.

"No matter how much an emperor loves their mistresses, the empress is the one who bore the future emperor of the nation. So there is no way her value could be more than you, Darling. Didn't your father have a mistress too! Has he ever pampered me less than her?" she asked with a chuckle and I felt naive to ask such a question.

'That was right! I would be the legal wife! I should not worry!' I repeated these words like a chant but still I was feeling anxious, my palms were turning sweaty and my stomach was churning.

"Do not worry too much or else you will look ugly in your own marriage." teased Elena and I blushed.

"I have never been beautiful like you to begin with, sister." I replied with a flushed face and she chuckled again.

"You are much better than me, Kath, you just did not know how precious you are!" She always said that to make me feel better. But even a blind could see the difference.

I nodded and looked at the mirror. The maids have spent all day in making me look beautiful and ready for this grand day! I was wearing a red dress as the norm of their nation instead of the white one like other princesses worn in their marriages. My golden hair was prepared in a bun covered with flowers of real gold and adorned with pearls and rare gemstones.

I was wearing a necklace that was shining brighter than the moon and a matching bracelet and earring. My fingers were left empty so that he could put a ring in it.

And other rings did not give competition to what he had chosen for me. The make up was done perfectly, with my lips redder and my cheeks creating a blush, my eyes were shimmering and my grey orbs were looking like two small moons.

Yet, there was something amiss. My heart was telling me that something was not right!! Like it is not what my heart desired for! No matter how much I try to calm myself down, that unnerving feeling did not go away!

"you are looking too worried, Kath. As a princess you should always be calm!" told my brother as he entered in the room to see if i was ready.

"my lady, did you not like the make-up or jewelry?" asked my maid, Sana. Her eyes were wet as this was the last time she was getting me ready. After marriage, i will leave for their empire immediately and then i will never be able to meet all of them. Maybe that was why i was so upset.
