1 - The Rebellion

Aelliusandra's Point of view

….

I tighten my grip on my sword as I slashed the only life in front of me. Blood splattered on the floor and even on my bare face.

I looked down and gaze at the cold dead body of the person I just killed. Her frail body is coated with her blood, her eyes are slightly open. I bend down and extend my hand.

"Master.."

A deep male voice called me from behind, I shift my gaze unto him and retreated my hand. He bend his knees and bowed before me, looking down at the ground.

"How's the thing on Kaeya's end?" I ask coldly while whipping off the blood on my sword.

"Kaeya's group has captured all the nobles, Master."

"Good, Go back Cauis and tell them to prepare for the next battle" I commanded him.

"affirmative, Master" Cauis bowed to me and stood up, making his way out of the room.

I shift my gaze to the lifeless body in front of me and stared at it.

"This is what you taught me, sister." i murmur

I walked past the dead body and walk over to the big glass window of this room, where the moonlight reflects on it.

A small figure, Golden hue eyes, Silvery white hair that shines with the moonlights, a high pointed nose and thin rosy lips.

A perfect flower appearance that all the nobles would envy. It would look like innocent if not for the blood stain on its cheeks.

I laughed at myself seeing my own reflection at the glass window.

"This is... what you all call Survival the fittest" i mumbled to myself and stared blankly at the moon.

It's quite bright, it shines even if the world is dark. How envious.

I sheathe my sword and walk out of the room, The entire palace was full of dead bodies and stinks in blood.

It's an unbearable place to begin with, I stride to the hallway to the front door, opening it awaits for me a big battalion of armoured knights and my trusted people.

"We Great the Moon of Etheria, Queen Aelliusandra De Lavougn Demitri" they all greeted me in unison

On their knees, bowing their head and placing their right hand on their left chest, showing an outmost respect as a greeting to a Ruler.

That's right, I Aelliusandra De Lavougn Demitri, the 4rth Princess of Etheria Empire, has now become the Queen and won this survival of the fittest by ---

leading a rebellion and killing all of my siblings and taking the head of my own father, the Emperor.

Life is not a fairy tale, there is no such things such as Prince charming in a white horse or a knight shining armour. There is no such things as perfect lovable parents in the palace.

In this place, there is only Hell and monsters in humans clothe.

Palace life are not like in the novels, In this Palace, there is only room for kill or be killed.

I was once an innocent child dreaming for an impossible feat. I thought this palace was my home, i thought this place is where i belong--

But that was an illusion.

This is hell and also our death bed....
