4 Who is the Villainess?

Violet Medee Carot the illegitimate daughter of a viscount growing up in a Happy environment, was the epitome of kindness and gentleness. She was such a lady that even the crown prince Alan Uziel Stewart couldn't help but fall for her selfless nature, both of them became close, so close that they weren't able to live without each other but not everyone was happy with this situation such as the eldest daughter of the only duke of the Solar empire Rose Athene Willson. Unlike Violet she was famous for her cold personality and intimidating aura, Rose who grew as the crown prince fiance was obsessed with him so when she knew about the rumours of the crown prince and violet she lost her calm and started attacking violet with whatever means possible.

To complete this love story lots of blood was shed in the peaceful empire of Solar. Out of which one was the Winter Family. The family for some unknown reason had gone bankrupt because of which the eldest daughter Irene had to work under Rose who used her to hurt Violet, Crown prince not knowing the whole story banished her from the empire, and on the other hand, her brother who was terminally ill died, her father was killed by people because he wasn't able to pay his loans and her mother lost her senses and that just like that the winter family became a long back history in the chapters of the novel, 'Who is the villainess?'

That was the end of winter family but not the end of the story even after that lots of blood was shed, who family? who friends? everyone was blind in the name of love, jealousy and revenge.

That was how the ominous love story proceed...

"Irene...Irene, are you listening to me or not?" Father said as he waved his hand in front of my face."Sorry daddy I was lost in thoughts ...what were you saying?" I asked him.

"I was saying that you must be careful in the Palace later okay and remember to greet his majesty the just way you were taught," Father said as our carriage entered the imperial palace.

The reason we are here is to thank the two princes for their help yesterday, even though that was a part that didn't actually occur in the novel nor did we ever enter the imperial palace until it was time for Irene's banishment. Even thinking about it gives me chills.

The imperial palace is indeed different, it feels more divine than a temple and the walls coloured in gold and white give it a more sophisticated and classy look but how far is the emperor's court we have been walking for 20 minutes, I am tired...When will this tiny body of mine grow!!!

Finally, after walking for around 1 hour we reached our destination, Behind this White gigantic door is the emperor's court.

"Lord Raymond Zissel Winter and his eldest daughter Irene Bedisa Winter have arrived!" said the announcer as we entered the hall. As soon as I took a step inside I felt the divinity inside it was of almost the same level of His Holiness but unlike him, his aka the emperor's aura felt more intimidating and ruling.

"We greet the sun of the empire His Majesty the emperor!" Father and I said as we bowed to him. "You may rise!" said the king in his calm voice. We raised our heads and I got a glimpse of his emperor's face he looked similar to the second prince Alferd with his striking golden hair and those sharp yellow eyes but unlike the second prince who looks pure and innocent, the emperor looks kind of a player.

I am not the wrong thou, it was said that in his younger days he was a jerk and a womanizer but everything changed when he meet the saintness aka the empress. Thinking of the empress where is she?

"Lady Winter seems to think something." said the emperor as he looked at me. "Pardon," I said shocked because of the unexpected question.

"She might be surprised as it's her first time to the imperial palace," Father said.

"Hmm, maybe since I don't have a daughter I don't know how she might be feeling." the emperor said as he looked at me with a smile. His smile made me feel a lot more comfortable and I felt a bit less anxious. So, in return, I too smiled towards him. The emperor was surprised at first but then he started to laugh.

"Seems like the Princes were right this lady here is sure interesting." The emperor said while laughing. "The prince talked about Irene." my father asked who was as surprised as me, I mean we meet for just a bit of time yesterday and we didn't even talk so how come they found me interesting....don't tell me did they saw me while I was talking with Violet and Rose....did that one line caused this havoc....no I mustn't call it a havoc thanks to them Ashton is recovering well. Right first let's thank the emperor and leave this place.

"I am glad to know that the princes found me interesting even though I don't know the details about it. And secondly, I Irene Bedisa Winter as the elder sister of Ashton Maven Winter thank his Majesty as well both his highness for their help during that critical time." I said as I bowed down silence filled the court. Only one thing was going around my mind and that was 'Am I doomed?'

But luckily the emperor didn't say anything but he complimented me saying that I am a wise and elegant lady, I was really happy with that much but the emperor didn't stop there as a reward he made me the playmate of both the princes. That Damn Emperor I still remember the evil smirk on his face. And right now I am in front of the princes' playroom.

"Lady Winter please enter!" said the palace maid. I glued down my fear thinking that no matter what their status is they are still kids right? And finally entered the room.
