chapter 2

What a relief, I'm going to break free from this cage, when I tilted my head I saw the executioner look at me with pity. Yeah of course it is the most gruesome life and death a member of the royal family could receive. Am I that pathetic in their eyes ?.

"Don't look at me like that, I've been waiting for this moment for six years. I'm not broken nor scared. You know! in this life, there is something worse than pain, even worse than death, it's when I'm not myself anymore. "

This was the last conversation the abandoned princess Rhea del Alger Garia. Before her head beheaded her body she heard someone screaming her name, but I wasn't able to see him; since her head was already removed from his place. It wasn't the right end for a princess.

"Stop no, rheaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Even after he came, he could not change it, because the sentence has already been carried out. Like that the story of the beloved and kind person like princess Rhea del Alger Garia who's end up in tragedy.

.* ** ** ** *

" it is dark here but also it is quite warm, it feels like my family warmth. Honestly, I don't want to go from here, it reminds me of a feeling I've lost a long time ago. I wish I could forget everything and live here. "

I don't want to go through that pain ever again, I don't want to see my family fall. I don't want to be alone again I prefer to stay in this warm dark place than return to that gloomy life of a noble princess.

When she was crying because of that warmth, she heard a voice calling her from nowhere saying:

"Dear child, what will you do if you got another chance? Would you change the script, are you going to write another end for your story?"

For someone who had lost everything, this was a suggestion that heals wounds, at the same time a proposal that restores the painful past, also creates a fear of repeating the past, after a great silence, she answered that voice.

" These scars, aren't going to fade, don't look like they are ever gone away, and the fact of being abandoned will never change, I'm glad to hear this proposal, but I can't do it alone, I can't, I can't, I'm not that good enough, I'm sorry I just want to stay here.''

Even if she tried to cool down, in the end, she can't override the will of her heart, and started crying like a baby. What if..? What if I failed? Everything will repeat itself.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

" oh my poor child I'm not going to ignore that pure heart of yours, so enjoy yourself. I know you can do it, don't be scared this time I'm going to give you my blessing. Fortunately there were several people who sacrificed all they had just to give you this opportunity. They even accepted a hard condition, so don't be selfishness. "

After crying, a light emitted out of nowhere and pulled her out of the darkness, when she opened her eyes, she got shocked, it wasn't long before she broke down in tears. That room and those faces surrounded her were familiar to the edge of tearing.

"Rhea what's wrong with you, are still sick?" the warm voice of that worried mother, something she had missed for a long time.

'What, Am I in heaven? No, no way....... Wait a second why my body feels so stuffy, and my head look worried it looks like a kid's hand. I went back in time to the age of 8, even though I'm scared of the future, I will accept my fate. This time I absolutely will save my family from our falling destiny.'

The look in rhea's eyes gives several meaning the first one of longing and the second is waiting, if they get a close look in her eyes certainly they would have noticed the cruelty of what she went through in her previous life.

sooob, sooob !!!!!!! I'm back, I'm back thank you god for giving me another chance to correct the future, I'm sorry for blaming you all for everything I couldn't do. I don't know what the reason is but I looked at Demetrios, he looked at me strangely, His looks were edged at some point, maybe he was like that.

"Oh!! honey, what's going on with you today? You look like someone who come back from death "

It's just an analogy, but it's true, I came back from death, just to save you all, this time I won't be silent, I won't be the coward I used to be, because after you all gone, I felt like life punched me by. In that time when I let my life support gone, I realize there was nothing worthy in this world.

That was the start of the new me, but Demetrios gaze makes me feel uncomfortable. He was just staring at me as if he saw someone else. What the hell with him, it's like he's reading my thoughts. Suddenly he opened his mouth with some words

"Rhea stop crying like a cry-baby." that's my brother I was just overthinking. But I can't deny that somehow his looks were unusual.

"yeah, stop crying like a baby "......

'This voice!!!!!!! This voice!!!! Is brother voice, the same voice that promises me to come back with the good news, but ...… [Sobbing], oh no I need to cool down they may notice something. Now I just need to forget the past and focus on the future.'

"Brother I'm okay, it.... Was just a nightmare, I'm sorry for bothering you all."

The only thing she would say '' it was just a nightmare '' because sometimes they are some sort of thing can't be uttered by our tongue, it's not because no one in this world would believe in. but our minds are programed to not reveal the painful and hurtful things to keep the others in peace. Rhea choose to keep it in her heart and act as if nothing happened.

'' There is no bother, you are our little beloved princess, don't worry about anything we are going to protect you, even if it means losing our lives." Ceasar is a warm person, he always says he will protect me and support me, with his warm smile and pure heart, he was loved by all the empire, that's what I thought. But after seeing him like that I assume it......

It's just several words between siblings, for her they were more than just words, they were like holy water, washed all her pain and bring her back to life to her old house hood, and give her the courage to fight against all the thorns that threaten the reunion of her family.

'' alright, but I decided to protect all of you on my own way" Rhea said putting a shine bright smile. Thinking of her past life and her new life. However the emperor has a different opinion. Since his sharp oddly look was noticeable and unreasonable.

I smiled from the bottom of my heart for the first time in a long time. I don't know if anybody realized it or it just me, when I make eye contact with Demetrios his gaze is a bit scary. Maybe because we are not in a deep relationship, I will recall it later.

"Look our Rhea grow up and became strong and thoughtful hahaha haha" Maximillian said while whispering in his sister ears. "From where did you learn this little one?"

The atmosphere changed from sadness to happiness and laughter. All of them were happy and enjoying themselves together without knowing what is waiting for them in the soon future.

'' stop!!!! Laughing I swear I'm going to protect you all ''

No one can resist her innocence, Demetrios tried to hold back his laughter but he couldn't though he was putting a poker face the entire time.

"Okay we are now at your care sweetheart." a moment of silence in her heart, his warm smile from the old days, I feel so much better when I saw him smiling.

That was the first time Rhea believed in miracles. And a night after a long struggle she slept in her family's warmth. In that night she slept like a baby in her mother's room, everyone found it a little bit strange. Especially Demetrios who was quite annoyed by rhea odd reaction in the morning. However no one noticed the sparkle in her eyes expect the emperor Demetrios de Alger Garia, he observed that look in her eyes, which was full of longing and nostalgia. That was so obvious if anyone had a deep look in her eyes he is going to see the pain and the Sufferance she went through. After a long sleep in the middle of the night.

"Hmmm where I am?" she opened my eyes with an exclamation look, looking left and right like she'd lost something when she saw her mother's face she started crying again.
