24 Disappointmen (1/2)

***Back To The Present***

Princess Liena was staring at Nuwa in a daze. How could this little girl determinedly promise to marry that infamous, bloodthirsty emperor, Qiu Feng Mian, without even blinking an eye? How could she isn't aware of her dangerous future?

Even her Emperor grandfather was afraid of Qiu Feng Mian's unfathomable power. She always heard about his dark history from her grandfather. 'Failer' was never in his dictionary. Whenever his footsteps fell to a kingdom, even if it was mistakenly, he would conquer it in his grasp by any means.

He was born to be a ruler, though as the worst; ruthless one.

She heeded that Nuwa's pet.i.te body was shaking violently, her hands were tightly clenching into a fist. Even though Liena could not see Nuwa's face due to the vail, she could understand that she was panicking inside but trying to act strongly in front of her. She could discern the enormous amount of fears were emitting of Nuwa's eyes.

Liena recalled all the promises she made three years ago. How she would protect Nuwa from all the uncertain dangers, give her a familial love, a bright future and setting her free from all the burdens to make her dreams come true.

She finally realized that she was a liar. She was delusionally deceiving herself by calling herself Nuwa's savior.

It was Nuwa who protected her all this time!

In order to protect her, Nuwa learned martial arts and became her bodyguard a.ka. a.s.sa.s.sin. She learned all the necessary things Liena learned to carry on her graceful image, and even changed her ident.i.ty and became her body double. Nuwa was so engrossed with helping Liena regaining her lost confidence and building up a good public image that she even forgot herself.

Liena believed her father as well her family adopter Nuwa only for her protection. Just how many sacrifices Nuwa made all this time!

She was caging Nuwa with her selfish desires!

How dare she was highly considered herself as a savior!

Who was the actual savior?

'Hahaha~ It was always me being saved by others. Because of me, my brother sacrificed his life. And now Nuwa too. Why I'm a burden to my loved ones?'

Her heart was filled with guilt and bitterness. The never-ending vicious cycle of fate, just when it was gonna stop? Why G.o.d was so cruel to her? Why her loved ones always sacrificed because of her.

She was deeply disappointed.

Disappointed because she was weak.

'Why?'

'Why I'm so weak?'

'Can't I become normal like other girls?'

'Can't I become powerful?'

'Can't I protect my family like they always did for me?'

'Just for once, can't I repay their kindness?'

'Isn't there any G.o.d? If there is, then why He doesn't listen to my prayers?'

Tears started to roll down from the corner of her eyes. She felt unimaginable pain coming from all of her body, she could hardly breathe. However, she didn't care. She tearfully looked at Nuwa and murmured.

”...I...am....sorry...”
