All the officials and people are gathered together waiting for the execution to take place.Many of them are here to see the miserable state and dejected face of once the beauty of the empire.

"Today we are gathered here for the execution of former princess, Aeins.h.i.+a Rutz, in the crime of misleading the authorities, attempt to murder of princess Lily and the murder of the almighty emperor of the kingdom" the royal announcer yelled from the middle of the execution grounds.

There was once a time ,when everyone wanted to be like her, wished they were her.But they all started to show their true colors slowly as she lost her ident.i.ty.She thought her friends would defend her when they heard the rumors about her. But it turned out that she was the only one who thought them as friends. They throwed her away as a piece of garbage after theres no more use of her. They nodded their heads hearing the rumors and talked about her behind the back.

Soon after, Aeins.h.i.+a Rutz, once the flower of the kingdom, one who was about to become the mother of the empire if everything was gone in her way was presented at the execution grounds.

Her hands turned into b.l.o.o.d.y red as she was dragged to the execution ground by those long and heavy chains on her hands.

She was pushed onto the executive plank and was ready to be executed.

Aeins.h.i.+a raised her head to look at prince Evan for the last time. She wanted to see his face for the last moment. He was her first and last love.

Prince Evan sat straight ahead to her. For some reason their was a hint of sorrow on his face. His eyes told he was about to loose the most precious thing in his life.

Just when their eyes met, he instantly scrambled to his feet and left the execution grounds.

Aeins.h.i.+a only wanted him to stay here. He is the only relative left for her and now he too abandoned her in the end.

How did things end up this way?

Where did it go wrong?

Or could it be that the start itself is wrong?

 The leaves scud over the ground and took small flights into the air. As she raised her eyes to the sky a smile spreaded from ear to ear. The branches swayed like the arms of a soccer crowd. This wind carried the fragrance of the woodland. Maybe only nature was only there for her in this moment where everyone abandoned her. The essence of her surroundings she has seen from her childhood days making her to reminiscence about her past.

The past-----

They say giving birth means hand shaking with the death.Aeins.h.i.+a"s mother, princess Beatrice, was unable to bear the pain and died due to the complications at the delivery. Like that, the heiress to house Rutz, Aeins.h.i.+a Rutz was born.

Many of them saw her as an omnious thing and called her mother killer. Yet despite all these, her family and her Royal uncle loved her all no matter what.

As soon as she was born her Royal uncle, the emperor himself granted the name "Aeins.h.i.+a" and gave the t.i.tle of princess trying to nullify the rumors circling about her birth.


Aeins.h.i.+a and her father were never affectionate before. The talking between them was more like two officials meeting instead of the father and daughter casual meeting.

But her brother Felix was different. From childhood he was the one who took care of her. He is the one who fed her, played with her, made her learn new things, played sword fighting with her. To him, she was his whole world.

Even though how much love Aeins.h.i.+a received from her brother and emperor, the empress, her royal aunt noticed Aeins.h.i.+a was still lacking mothers love.So she decided to share her affection and love equally to both Aeins.h.i.+a and prince Evan. For Aeins.h.i.+a her aunt was like the G.o.d sent. Both her and the young prince fought for the empress" love. But G.o.d really didn"t plan to let her feel mother"s love. Soon the empress was poisoned and got murdered.

After the Empress" death both the prince and Aeins.h.i.+a stopped fighting and started to share things. At first she thought it was out of brotherly love but without realizing she fell deep for him and her love for him increased more and more as the days pa.s.sed on.

The emperor loved his sister alot. Seeing her mother in Aeins.h.i.+a he raised her with utmost care and attention. She received royalty treatment more than any prince and was raised on her Royal uncle"s lap.

Being given the top priority within the empire, everyone tried to favour her and tried to befriend her. She is the one most of the people aspired to be.

Whatever she did, wore, everything would become popular since many tried to copy her.

Slowly that lead to her arrogant behavior and willful nature. But no matter how arrogant she became, she never once badly treated the one"s working who loyally worked for her . Everything was smooth sailing till Lily came. Her love rival, Lily carmondy. By the time she arrived Aeins.h.i.+a was already engaged to the prince.

But one day her dignity collapsed in the high society. When she went to accompany her deceased mother in their family"s territory on her way to the temple to pray for her mother"s soul to rest in peace she was attacked by a mercenary group.

But before getting attacked, she was drugged. She was drugged in her own house. But who was it?

She didn"t know who played this underhanded trick, by the time she regained conscious, she was laying down in a cave,all her clothes torn, her body aching all over. If not for the tears coming from her eyes she thought she was already dead.

After hours of search, Rutz family found their half dying, half alive mistress, still lying naked over, while eyes filled with tears, body covered with bruises. Many thought she won"t be making through it. But there"s something more waiting for her "The pain she need to claim.Her ill fate".

Even before she returned back to the capital, all those rumors about her losing her chast.i.ty was being the hot potato in capital.

Knowing the empires mother can"t be tainted she was confiscated of her t.i.tle as the empress and gave the position of a queen.

This decreased her status highly in the society and was made into a laughing stock.

Even though, after all this she thought she still had the prince. But after seeing him being intimate with Lily she thought she lost her last hope of survival.

She tried her best for him to notice her. But he never took a glance at her. She wanted him to love her back as she did for him. She wanted his heart to flutter for her. But being by his side all these years he never showed any interest for her.

Seeing him laugh at other girl made her heart filled with jealousy. She thought she however won"t get the prince back since now she even lost her chast.i.ty. So why not loose humanity? Now the only thing she intended to do was kill Lily.

As she thought she even took measures to kill her. But her first attempt was a fail and Prince Evan saved her.

Exactly at that time an anonymous person began sending her letters. It was a perfect deal. He just wanted Aeins.h.i.+a to kill Lily and in return he promised he will help her reclaim the t.i.tle of Empress.

She thought it was a deal meant for her. However she will kill Lily, now she thought she could kill Lily and cover up the incident using the anonymous person.

Both of them planned many attempts to kill Lily. But Lily somehow or the other found the loophole in the plan and escaped her death. Prince Evan got the word about Aeins.h.i.+a"s evil plans and he tried to stop her many times.

But the more he tried the more she misunderstood that he loved Lily and that came as a fuel for her burning envy and she more desperately tried to kill her just like the villianess trying to seperate two true lovers.

Amidst all this chaos one day the emperor asked for her presence. After eating her hand made cake the emperor was seen lying down dead. Someone framed her. But who?

All evidences pointed at her. Her father and brother tried to cover up her deeds but caught red-handedly. As they tried to cover up for the murderer who murdered previous emperor the whole family was ordered for execution.

Her father trying to cover up for her she understood how much her father actually loved her. Her father sworn loyalty to this empire. Yet, at last moment of his life he decided to choose his daughter forgetting all his vows and promises. Even at the brink of the death her father begged mercy for his daughter. But none of them listened to him.

Both her father and brother were executed in front of her eyes. Losing the most loved ones Aeins.h.i.+a was broken down. losing her family made her loose all the hope to live and she began to count her days of living.

PRESENT day----

Since childhood everyone thought I would become the empress. I thought I could live happily with the person I love. But he is never reciprocated my love . I thought someday he will know my love for him and will love me back. But I spent all these years beside him in vain. I wasted my most beautiful youthful years. As soon as I lost my right being the empress,Lily was announced as the who sits on the throne beside him. I should have understood at least by then that how much he loved her and was willing to protect her by always stepping in the middle of my plans and ruining them.

If only my senses were not coated with jealousy. How come I became this vicious. I was still the innocent and kindhearted girl eventhough I was arrogant and willful. When was I changed into the me now. I shouldn"t have tried to hurt the innocent Lily Carmandy. I should have just accepted fact that I"m no longer the high and mighty princess like before after losing my t.i.tle.

If I had realized then, I wouldn"t have faced this day. I wouldn"t have lost my brother and father. What mistake did they do? Was being related to me was the mistake they made? Why my life was so miserable?

Who played with my life? Where did go wrong without my knowledge? How did I loose my control? Wis.h.i.+ng for my loved one so wrong? What wrong did I do?

I don"t have a chance to stand against this mess in my life.
