Chapter 2 - Viviana de feur Lostel - Toddler (2/2)
*chup chup chup gulp*
'How can I start when I'm always in this room?'
*chup chup chup gulp*
'haaah, I want to grow up quickly.'
---
3 years have passed and am now 4 years old. I was able to venture out of my room, although quite disappointed as I saw how dilapidated my palace is; only my room looks presentable.
By the way, the name of my palace is Tacita Palace which means silent or mute. This is like an indication or warning…
'Don't worry Vernon, I'll be silent. I won't bother you so let's live in peace.'
Right now I'm having an afternoon break with milk and chocolate cookies on my small garden.
As I've mentioned before I have 4 personal maids, there are also a head maid and 5 more who does the minor chores like cleaning, laundry, and cooking meals.
I don't even have a single guard in my palace. Sometimes we don't even have enough budgets to spend for the month, even the chocolate cookies I'm munching now is a luxury for us.
I even thought of digging out the gems and scraping or scratching the gold like things on the walls, or even selling some of the furniture inside my palace, but I voted against it.
It would be bad if someone noticed and reports it to Vernon.
'Well, it's not like I'm complaining or anything. As long as I have a roof on my head, and food to fill my stomach, everything is alright.'
That night, Tiffany tucked me inside the blankets and told me a bedtime story about our Kingdom.
Before the story even ended, I've already closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.
When I felt she left my bed, blow out the candle, and leave the room, I immediately opened my eyes.
'That's crap!' I thought remembering the bedtime story about a kind-hearted hero who saved a kingdom, which is the representation of my father emperor.
According to the intelligence I've collected (from the gossips of my maids), Vernon wasn't really the crown prince; he was the shadow of his twin brother, Zeus de feur Lostela, the real crown prince.
When the previous emperor died from sickness, Zeus rises as the emperor.
However, it's only for a while as he was killed by his own brother, Vernon.
After becoming an emperor, Vernon lived to the fullest *sarcasm* with alcohol and women. Not until he met my mother then came me and you know the rest.
However, it was said that months after my birth, he ordered everyone inside the palace to be killed, maids, guards and royals alike. No one was spared. So now, inside this huge palace the only Royal is me & Vernon.
I sighed. 'I feel distressed living with a murderer.'
