1 Prologue

"Lady Abigail, Are you sure about this?" Mary, the head Maid choked in her words unpleasantly staring at Abigail's gothic wedding dress.

Staring into the huge mirror in front of her, Abigail was fascinated by how incredibly black and off-standard the dress was. This was just what she wanted...

"Of course I am," Abigail said confidently as the rest of the servants fixed her makeup. After long progress, Abigail was amazed by how petty the dark eye shadow complimented her Hard Core Black Wedding dress.

'How amusing'. Abigail thought.

She found it hard to believe it was her staring back at her reflection, She looked like a different person.

"I think you look splendid Her Majesty" Cara, Her lady-in-waiting complimented.

Abigail got up from the dressing table as Cara followed from behind. On their way to the church awaited by nobles and guests from the different empires.

The gate to the church opened widely as everyone stood up waiting for her approach. Their eyes were vowed to their expectation of seeing Abigail walk down the aisle in an elegant white wedding dress and a bouquet of beautiful flowers. But unfortunately for them, Abigail walked in wearing a black wedding dress. The room went dead silent like a cemetery surrounded by dead people and the only thing that gagged the surface were the shocked faces that seemed contagious. Whispers and talks choked the surface but even at that, Abigail still kept my head up high.

Grabbing the attention of her parents as well, Abigail couldn't help but grin at the speechless, shocked, frightened, and embarrassed looks as she passed their throne. But again, She had to remind herself of the real reason she was here in the first place. This was for the sake of calling off the engagement to her Betroth Husband, and the Emperor of the Western Empire,

Prince Carol... The king of Manipulation, Seduction, and Destruction.

Abigail walked up in his direction with a smirk and as expected of him, he looked just as speechless and stunned by her sudden appearance. His green eyes were deeply and intensively staring back at her like he was staring dead into her soul with a discernment look on his face.

Just as she planned...

From this point, she knew this engagement wouldn't last.
