《The book "Beatrice"》


 The book "Beatrice"

    Only If I wasn''t foolish...If I wasn''t, I''m sure things would''ve turned out the way I wanted them to be. As I sat here in a dark and cold room, so thirsty and hopeless with these thoughts full of regrets, I could hear faint footsteps nearing the room. Then I heard her talk in a mocking voice.


    "Hah! Tired already?!¡±


    Despite the room being very dark, I took a glimpse of her smirking face, her blonde hair shining as if it was a newly cleaned window, and her bangs almost covering her emerald eyes, who were looking at me pitifully. And I''m sure it''s my step-sister, Ellie. I wanted to answer her but my voice wouldn''t come out as I didn¡¯t have water nor food for almost 2 weeks now. All I need is water... To quench my thirst¡­ Even a slice of freshly baked bread wouldn''t suffice.


    "Don''t worry, They''re going to be finished preparing it soon."


    Ah¡­ I remember, today is my execution day, where they are going to behead me. As I forced myself to talk, I saw her smiling and spoke again in a happy voice.


    "Don''t you know all along?!, You were the real one!"


    My mind is full of anger and confusion about what she is saying. And then I heard loud footsteps nearing my room again.


    "My lady, it''s time." A red-haired tall man wearing armor said.


    I heard the door creaking and Ellie giggling. It''s very bright outside, enough to make me blind.


    "Don''t worry, you won''t feel a thing.¡± the man said with a gentle voice, it almost seems as if he''s pitying me and thinking I don''t deserve this too. But I don''t need his pity, or I can say it infuriates me. Then he pulled me up like I was a stuffed toy lying on the floor as if his gaze earlier was just my hallucination. Then he walked me outside gripping my shoulder tightly, worrying I might lose my balance and fall. As I barely walked I took a glimpse of who the spectators were. I saw my father, the emperor, sitting on his throne, his face so calm and his black hair swaying because of the wind and almost burying his scary gray eyes. Staring at me as if what he''s watching right now is a magic show. And beside him standing, is my brother who is the next heir of the imperial family. I saw him smirking and looking at me as if I was a pitiful rabbit that is just about to be eaten by a lion. And beside him is Ellie also as happy as father but her face cannot hide her excitement, unlike father, who is always expressionless despite whether he''s happy or angry. There were no other people on sight except them. I am at least happy that my execution didn''t turn out to be public. Then they forcibly kneeled me down as if they were commanding a dog to sit. Above me were long swords sparkling because of the sun. Then suddenly¡­ It felt cold¡­ But it quickly turned into warmth. I could hear muffled voices, and It was very loud. I am in a very dark place as if I am in the nothingness. I can''t move nor feel any parts of my body. The only part of me that is functioning is my brain. Then suddenly I heard a loud woman''s scream as if she was suffering from something. Then another voice added.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    "Just a little more!"


    The woman screamed again very loudly this time. Then suddenly, I can now see. I''m out from the dark place which seemed like nothingness earlier. But it''s very blurry. I can feel that someone is carrying me over to the woman lying on the bed, full of sweat and her face covered with relief. Then the one who''s carrying me finally handed me over to the lady. I lay within her soft fragile arms. Her face was so pale and her gray long hair grazing over her shoulder while her amethyst eyes were looking at me with affection. But her face is so familiar. It''s as if I''ve met her somewhere in the depths of this world. Ah, I remember now. Her description. ¡¯Skin so pale, Gray hair like clouds, and eyes like jewels, Hari Lenoir¡¯. A character from the novel I read. Despite her pale appearance I heard her speak with a faint yet soft voice.


    "My baby¡­ Your name shall be Blair.."


    I was confused and dumbfounded about what she said. But I quickly turned back to normal. I think I have a grasp of what''s happening now. I had been reborn, From the novel I read in my "past life". The title is Beatrice. But I''d rather prefer not. I''m so tired of loving and trusting people. If I let my guard down again, what happened to me before will repeat itself.

 A dream about my past

    While I was deeply thinking, I suddenly fell asleep. And what would you expect when you sleep? A dream. Uggghhhh... I''m having a dream about my disgusting past.


    My father was the emperor of this country he is always busy and sometimes even forget that he had a daughter. So as a child I tried to get his attention.I tried to study early and hard thinking that if I''m smart and doing things right, he would be proud of me. But still he just kept ignoring me. I was frustrated and sad. Then I suddenly thought of something that I''m sure would get his attention. I tried jumping off the stairs. Iwas in coma for exactly 48 days. When I woke up I was dizzy like I have a hungover. But suddenly someone knocked on the door. I was excited so out of impulse I shouted "daddy!" But to my disbelief, it was the doctor and my servant. They tried comforting me thinking that I would cry. I tried staying positive. I thought maybe he visited me "at least once" during this 48 days I was asleep, so I asked my servant. But she turned her head down and her face covered with nervousness and sadness." Not even once he visited, lady Aria." Those words rang into my ears as if someone was whispering it to me. And finally, I realized that no matter what happens to me nothing would get his attention, "even if I die." Then when I turned 18, during my birthday banquet, Ellie, a girl with long blonde hair with bangs that almost covered her eyes, and emerald eyes that sparked like a real jewel. She proclaimed that she was father, the emperor''s true daughter. Father, who''s expression still blank, decided to take her in temporarily. During her stay, I had been treating her nice. But I still spent 70 percent of my time in my cozy, dark room, covered with curtains and a large bed. I also have a bookshelf in one of my corners. I am just reading the book my mother gave me before she died named "Beatrice". It was a dark fantasy, and a tragic book. Its is where claude, the main protagonist fell in love with a magician named beatrice. Claude have 2 sisters but they were just side characters. His mother Hari Lenoir, the empress, and Noah lenoir, the emperor. And Claude was the next heir for the throne. Beatrice acted nice to Claude, But Beatrice wasn''t the real protagonist. It was the saintess, Eleanor. And due to jealousy, Beatrice''s heary blackened. She placed a curse on Claude which makes him betray and kill the people he loves inclusing Eleanor, his sisters, and his parents. And Claude after that, felt hopeless so he tried to kill himself, leaving Beatrice behind. Beatrice was so happy. And so, the story ends there.


    Stolen story; please report.While I was reading, I heard a loud scream and a teacup falling on the floor. I headed downstairs immediately. Iwas surprised to see Ellie, on the floor, unconscious. Beside her was a teacup shattered into pieces and her maid holding her wrist and is crying. The duke immediately bursted out from his room and asked the brunette haired maid with freckles what happened.


    Then she pointed her finger towards me and shouted,"Your majesty! It''s Lady Aria! She poisoned Lady Ellie''s tea!". Then father scheduled me for execution and that day arrived.

 I Met The Male Lead 11 years Before The Story

    I woke up, Blinking my eyes. Above me was a girl with brunette hair and face full of freckles, overjoyed to see me.


    "My Lady, You''re finally awake!" I just turned my head, ignoring her. I pretended to sleep again so she will be quiet. But suddenly, i heard someone speak with a gentle voice. I took a peek and I saw a gray haired boy, around 7 with sapphire eyes. But he wasn''t alone, Behind him is a petite girl, with same gray hair, and also around the same age with emerald eyes. I remembered Ellie from that emerald eyes, so I pretended to sleep again. This time, I heard mumblings so I couldn''t help, but open my eyes. I flinched out of surprise, when I see the boy above me, his face so close, and his hair grazing over my face. Then he backed off, holding his laughter. Can I just punch this jerk? I pretended to sleep again, no matter what I hear again, I won''t open my eyes anymore. But he kept speaking, without a care whether I''m listening or not. "


    "Blair..your hands are so tiny, as If they are dolls...I am Claude, and this is your sister Medea." I finally opened my eyes again, thinking that even If I sleep real, He won''t care and will still keep blabbering. The girl behind her seems shy and nervous, but words soon blurted out from her mouth with a soft yet faint voice.


    A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation."Brother, doesn''t her hair color seems much lighter ?and her eyes....."


    "Now that I think about it, Doesn''t our eye colors different? yours is emerald, mine is sapphire, and Blair''s is ruby." It''s almost as if were not siblings and we came from different woman. Seems like the Lenoir family really are unique. Then I noticed the petite girl, turned her head with flustered face. While the boy kept staring at me with eyes that have hidden intention, like saying "Blair, let me pinch your cheeks!". I said a few words, but it turned out to be unclear."bwahbuha"(Shut up). I remembered I am in a child''s body so it''s useless. I was surprised when the girl suddenly shouted."Wow! brother, she''s just months old yet she can speak!" She said with her hands on the air, and her face so happy as if she just received whole life''s worth of chocolate. "mhm, but I didn''t understand what she said."The boy said with sad and disappointed face. kekeke those blabbering was worth it. But after that I just remained silent.
