*Amira's Pov*
"Your highness the crown princess is already awake. The whole palace is celebrating!" Ashley told me when he entered my room. I'm currently fixing all my things because my 'oh so good' uncle decided to throw me out of the palace.
"Stop calling me your highness! I'm already demoted! And as for that Ana Mae and all those annoying people in this palace, they have time to celebrate even if my mom just died yesterday?" I shouted angrily at her.
"Your highness, you will forever be a princess in my heart. Wherever you go, just know that I will forever be with you," she assured me.
"Thank you for your loyalty Ashley. I'm really glad that I have you in this cruel world," I told her.
I don't understand why my mom had to leave me alone now! How could the Gods be so cruel to let me live a miserable life alone?
"From now on, I will be wandering along the streets asking for money. This is an insult for a royal blood like me!" I yelled while throwing the vase on my coffee table.
"Your highness calm down. You won't walk the streets alone. I will stay with you!""Amira, the king is waiting for you!" Leana suddenly spoke that made me more mad.
"Amira?" I asked her with furrow brows. She then puts her left hand on her hips and glared at me.
"Yes, what do you expect me to say? Address you as a princess? Dream on traitor! You are now demoted as a princess! My rank is even higher than you," she said proudly before she left.
"Oh that annoying bitch! Let me kill her your highness!" Ashley was about to go after her but I held her wrist.
"There's always a perfect timing for everything Ashley. Let them enjoy for now, because they won't be able to enjoy it longer," I told her with a smirk.
She smiled at me before she asks, "What's your plan now your highness?"
"I will have my revenge! I promised my mom that my life story will not end with being a commoner. I will be the queen of Citrine and everyone will bow their heads to me!" I said confidently.
************
"From now on, you are not allowed to enter the palace. Your allowance will be donated to the charity same with your clothes and jewelries." I was stunned with what my uncle told me as soon as I entered the throne room. What the heck? Even my own clothes will be donated to the charity?
"What? I will not bring my clothes with me? What did you expect me to wear then?" I blurted out. He's so cruel!
"You have those clothes and jewelries because you're a princess. And now that you're a simple commoner you no longer have the right to wear them!" he explained that made me more angry with him.
"How could you do this to your own flesh and blood? I am your niece!" I asked him with tears falling from my eyes.
He laughed before he answered, "Good question Amira. But I think that question fits you more. Have you forgotten that Ana Mae is your cousin? She's your own flesh and blood yet you still managed to endanger her life. Now you expect me to have pity on you because you are my niece, when you did not even know how to pity your own cousin?"
I swallowed the lump in my throat and started to heave three deep breaths to control my temper.
"Look, I know that I made a mistake. But don't you think that I deserve to be given another chance?" I pleaded.
"You almost killed your own cousin and now you're asking for another chance? Did you think that if ever you succeeded on killing my daughter she would still have a chance to be alive again? You risked our dynasty's future Amira!" he reminded me using his angry tone.
I stump my feet on the ground and glared at him.
"Remember this day uncle! Yes you have the power now! But the question is, how long you'll be able to hold that power?" I told him which made him more angry.
"Insolent! Palace attendants remove all her jewelries from her body!" he ordered.
Then the palace maids rushed towards my direction. They removed my bracelet, ring and even the necklace that my mom gave me. I tried to stop them but they were too strong for me to handle. They hold both my hands and stopped me from moving.
"No please, not my necklace!" I begged while crying. That necklace is too precious to me. That's the only memory I have with my mom.
"Please spare my necklace. I already lost my mom, that necklace is the only thing I have," I pleaded but the king did not listen.
"Guards ,throw this woman out of the palace!" he ordered his guards."Your majesty, I would like to come with her," Ashley requested. "No! You will be lock in the dungeon!" he shouted angrily. Then the guards started pulling me out like I'm some kind of a useless trash.
"Let go of me! Ashley!" I called out for Ashley but all I could hear is her sobs.
"Remember this day you idiots! I will soon have my revenge on all of you!" I shouted angrily after they throw me out of the palace gates.
I was left with nothing, not even my precious necklace. Now I'm an orphan and a beggar.
I started to walk away from there while crying. Revenge is the only thing I want right now. I will make them pay for everything they did to me and for killing my mom!
"Poor child, you have been thrown out of the palace that's supposed to be yours!" I stopped walking when I heard someone speak behind me. I turn around and I saw a man in his mid 40's. He's handsome but there's something in him that screams danger.
"Who are you?" I asked nervously.
He smiled like a devil.
"I am King Velion, and I will be the one to help you have your revenge. Come with me and you will not regret it. I will help you avenge your mother," he told me.
"How did you know that I want to avenge my mom? And what King Velion are you talking about? Which kingdom are you from?" I asked him confusedly. It's the first time that I heard his name. Is this man a real king or he's just pranking me?"Let's say that I have a power to read someone's sorrows. Your heart and mind is filled with anger and I could help you turn it into a fire. A fire that will burn your enemy one by one!"I was stunned with what he told me.
"Are you crazy?" I asked him while laughing.
But my laughter was turned into gasp when I saw him covered with black smoke.
"You're a de..vil!" I said nervously.
He laughed hard then he swayed his left hand. Dark smokes suddenly rushed towards my direction. I started to feel dizzy, my feet feel numb and the last thing I felt was the impact of my body on the ground before I lost consciousness.
Princess Ana Mae's POV; I woke up to the sweet scent of fresh jasmines and was greeted by my mom's worried face. She seems exhausted, her eyes are swelling and her lips were not as pinkish as before. My mom looks so pale and it looks like she haven't slept for days. "Sweety you're awake!" she screamed happily. There's a big smile plastered on her face. "Mom, you don't look good," I commented. She sighed and kissed my forehead. "I always look good when you're around my dear daughter," she said. "Mom, how long I've been sleeping?" I asked her. The last thing I remembered was the snake's bite on my skin.
*Third Person's Pov*"Your highness, how will we face your father after failing our mission?" Steffan asked Zion worriedly before they enter the portal that will bring them back to the kingdom of Darkness.The prince expected that question from him. But he's eager to protect the woman he loves and he can't do anything to harm her."Steffan, my father and I are two different persons. I know how to value love, unlike him who only care about power," the prince stated.Steffan's eyes widened. His fears are slowly happening. He feared that the prince would fall inlove and that it would be hard for him to kill the princess. And now it had just happened. They failed on their mission because of love."Your highness, love is a weakness," he tried to explained. But the prince stared at him and smile."But for some people, love is their source of strength. And I'm one of the
*Third Person's Pov* (Kingdom of Darkness)Darkness surrounded Amira in her sleep. Her heart is in deep pain and her hunger for revenge grew bigger day by day. Her past became her nightmare a nightmare that never stops haunting her even when she's awake.She slowly opened her eyes and heaved three deep breathes to calm herself. Days had passed since the day she was throwned out of the palace. The palace where she grew up and where her darkest nightmare happened, the death of her mother."You're finally awake." The dark witch Avion stood infront of her with a poker face."What's wrong? Why are you standing there like an idiot?" she asked irritatedly. She don't hate Avion because she's one of the dark immortals who gave her a new home, and a new life as well."Our Lord wants to talk to you. He said it's urgent," Avion explained.Amira nodded
*Third Person's POV;* Princess Ana Mae decided to walk around her mother's flower garden and appreciate the beauty of the different kinds of flowers that were planted in it. Every morning she loves feeling the sweet scent of flowers in the air. It makes her feel happy and amazed at the same time. Her mom, the Queen is staring at her with teary eyes. She feels really nervous and she have no idea where to start on telling her the truth about her real identity. She wants her to know the truth but she's afraid of losing her. Ana Mae was their only daughter, she became the heart and joy of their kingdom. But she knows that they couldn't keep her forever. While she's having these thoughts she felt someone hugged her from behind. It was her husband trying to comfort her. "My queen, we both know that we have no choice but to deliver the truth to her. The Gods won't be pleased if we refused on their order. You know we have no power against them," her husband explained.
"The ember of love will be back to destroy the darkness and pave a way for the light to shine again!" Both the queen and king were still shock after hearing their daughter's words and the thing that bothers them the most is the dangerous and powerful aura that they have sensed from her. "Darling are you okay?" the queen asked her daughter nervously. The princess stared at her for a second before she spoke. "I'm fine mom. Just feeling a little dizzy," she answered using a cold tone. The queen and king stared at each other with curiosity shown on their faces. "Do you want to take a rest first?" the king asked but the princess just gave him a smile. "I'm fine dad, a little dizziness is nothing compared to what the mortal and heaven realm will experience if Velion will continue to live," she answered. "What did those red strings showed you?" the queen asked with curiosity. "Everything about my mission and my real identity." "You al
"My king, the chosen one is on her way back to the heaven realm," one of Velion's dark guards reported to him while he's having a sip of his red wine.An evil smirk formed in his lips. "Did she really think that it would be too easy for her to go back?" He let out an evil laugh. "Sorry to disappoint you my dear chosen one, but you would have to experience hell first!" Velion's laughter echoed his chambers and the dark guard shivered in fear just by hearing his evil laughter. "What are your plans my Lord?" the guard asked nervously."Send the dark troops to the portal. Let us prepare a warm welcome for Aphrodite's dearest daughter. Something that will make her regret being the chosen one in the first place!" Velion ordered."Yes my Lord! I will do it right away!" the guard answered before he hurriedly left to gather the dark forces."Zeus, my dear old friend sorry but I have to disappoint you! Farewell to your so-called chosen one!" Then he started laughing like a mad man.*********
"Wow! Gods are really amazing!" Diane exclaimed and they all chuckled."Yes we are," Hermes said proudly."But not as amazing as the chosen one," Leanna said pertaining to Ana Mae. "What's so special about being the chosen one?" Ana Mae asked them. Leanna and Hermes stared at each other for a second and a smile formed on their lips."You'll know everything when we get to the heaven realm. I'm pretty sure everyone's waiting for you," Hermes told her. "But how long will it take before we arrive there?" Diane asked."Patience your highness, we'll be there in a few seconds." Hermes then waved his hand and a ray of light appeared. And before they could utter a word, they found themselves in another garden but this time the flowers and trees were all made of gold and diamonds."Wow!" everyone screamed as their eyes sparkle like diamonds."Welcome to Heaven Realm, the home of the Gods and Goddesses!" Leanna said with a wide smile on her face."Your home is as beautiful as you Ana Mae,"
After a long night of longing Princess Ana decided to walk around the garden when she wakes up the next day.The flowers here are quite different from those growing in the garden of Citrine but they still give her the same feels. Ever since she was young, she enjoys the company of flowers so much. She felt relaxed whenever she's surrounded by them."Flowers always have a way to comfort a weary heart." She heard someone spoke behind her. She turned around to be met by a beautiful lady with long and curly hair. She's wearing a beautiful smile."Who are you?" She asked. She did not see her with the Gods when she and her friends arrived yesterday.The beautiful lady chuckled and as if on cue, the wind blows to her direction making her emerald green dress dance with her hair. The flowers seem to be dancing as well."Sorry for my rudeness, I am Persephone, your cousin." Ana Mae stared at her with wide eyes. She can't believe she's standing infront of the Goddess of Spring and that she's ta
