“What’s wrong, Lorencia?”
“Prince Ruans. I saw something strange.”
“Something strange? Would you like to tell me about it?”
“You may not believe this, but I saw a maid with brown hair putting white powder into the food you were going to eat. I don’t know why I saw this.”
“Don’t be afraid, Lorencia. I believe you. So tell me everything you see. And don’t worry, lean on me.”
Ruans sought out Lorencia the next day. And he hugged Lorencia tightly, who had helped him avoid being poisoned.
“The brown-haired maid’s name is Jane. She’s a maid who came in recently. She put poison in the food I was going to eat. Thank you for saving me, Lorencia!”
Lorencia couldn’t hide her joy at the fact that she had been helpful to him.
[This is the timeline separator]Lorencia recalled how the purple amethyst necklace her mother had left her before she died had suddenly lit up. She unfastened the necklace and examined the amethyst closely. The rough surface of the amethyst looked like broken glass shards. It looked ordinary from any angle. But every time the amethyst necklace shone, she could see the future.
She couldn’t understand why she suddenly gained the ability to see the future. But seeing Ruans’ joy, she was rather grateful for this power. Perhaps it was a power sent by the Goddess Ella who took pity on her.
Lorencia’s ability blossomed like a flower in full bloom. It was all for Ruans. She saw profitable business information from the future and told Ruans about it.
She also helped find those who were trying to betray him in advance. Each time, Lorencia received great praise from Ruans. The praise was sweeter than the chocolate she had tasted for the first time, and addictive.
“Lorencia. Thank you. You really are a lovely and kind child.”
As her desire to be loved grew stronger, Lorencia used her power excessively to help Ruans. To see the future, she had to hold the amethyst up to the light and look into it. After seeing the future, she experienced severe pain in her eyes.
Lorencia was in so much pain that she told Ruans for the first time that it was difficult to use her power. And as if it were a lie, Ruans stopped coming to see her from the next day.
From the day Ruans stopped coming, Lorencia was physically abused by Brant. After that, as if they had been waiting, Countess Anne and her daughter Illina came in and hurled severe verbal abuse.
Lorencia could endure the severe verbal abuse and physical violence. However, what she couldn’t bear was that Ruans no longer came to see her.
“Have I been abandoned? Because I didn’t use my power? Should I have used it even if it was painful?”
Just as she was getting tired of the regretful days, Ruans appeared before Lorencia. Lorencia clung to Ruans.
“Because of my brother Adrian, my situation is quite bad right now. I seem to be in danger. If Lorencia had looked into my future before, I probably wouldn’t have fallen into this danger.”
“I’m sorry.”
Seeing Ruans’ serious face, Lorencia felt nothing but sorry for not using her power.
“Even though you’re an illegitimate child, I had you registered as a count’s daughter. And fearing that the count and countess might abuse you… I came to the count’s mansion every day to protect you. I’ve been protecting you to this extent… Why isn’t Lorencia protecting me?”
“I’m sorry. From now on, I’ll use my ability even if it hurts.”
“Don’t forget. If I’m in danger, it’s because you, Lorencia, brought it upon yourself.”
Lorencia was afraid that Ruans would disappear again. She used her power solely to be loved. She didn’t hold back her words to change his bad future. Including Adrian, who was the crown prince. She told him about the deaths of those Ruans wanted dead. In the end, they died, and Ruans ascended to the position of crown prince.
“For me to become emperor… Father would have to die, right? Yes. I’m sending him to join my brother.”
Lorencia found the answer he wanted in the future and told him. Many people died, but she thought it was better for others to die than to lose him.
“I’m going to war.”
Many died for the war victory that Ruans wanted. Corpses abandoned here and there on the desolate land. Burnt forests and lakes stained with blood. That was all the world Lorencia had created for Ruans. After 10 years had passed like that, Ruans unified the empire as he wished.
Lorencia waited for Ruans to propose. But what came back was death.
It was miserable. In her fading consciousness, she recalled the times she had continuously driven people who shouldn’t die to death in various futures. But she had only struggled to be loved. She didn’t think that the desire to be loved was a sin.
Ruans told her not to mistake his love. In the end, everything she had done became meaningless. Even death… Perhaps she felt that she was being punished for what she had done. When that thought occurred to her, her nose stung. Tears flowed.
When did he change from the one who used to speak so lovingly? From the moment she left the attic? Or from when her ability manifested? Why did she gain the ability to see the future?
She thought she would live by his side, being loved. She thought she would fulfill his dreams and have a happy ending. But when did it start? When she didn’t comply with his requests, she felt guilty.
Ruans, who only hugged her affectionately when she complied with his requests, became increasingly burdensome. But she believed in Ruans’ love. She didn’t know she would be so miserably abandoned. No, the fear of being abandoned had taken root in a corner of her mind. She had just ignored it.
“Marquis Teishar Spencer. It turned out as you said.”
Lorencia recalled Marquis Teishar Spencer of the Floyd Empire, who came as an envoy to prevent the war.
That man seemed to see right through her. Jet-black hair. His red eyes were sharp and cold like a leopard’s. When their eyes met, she couldn’t look away, as if being drawn in.
Teishar looked at Lorencia with a sad smile. She wanted to talk to him more, but Ruans interrupted in the middle of the conversation.
Ruans once again made Lorencia be pointed at as an illegitimate child in front of people.
That one sentence from Teishar stabbed her heart. She felt dejection in his voice. She couldn’t breathe properly at his fierce eyes directed at Ruans. Her chest heaved. He had said what she had wanted to say to Ruans, which she had piled up in her heart.
After Teishar left, Ruans declared war on the Floyd Empire. She hesitated to use her power because she was concerned about Teishar. Of course, Ruans got angry. He even yelled in her ear so loudly that it hurt. Her eyes grew hot. Lorencia became a marionette doll that couldn’t make any decisions on her own and moved as Ruans ordered.
It turned out as Teishar said. She was discarded. Framed as a witch. She knows well that it’s no use regretting now. She is indeed a villainess. A villainess blinded by love. She could only think that it was the natural consequence of the many evil deeds she had committed for him. She will be passed down in history as the worst villainess and witch.
Lorencia closed her eyes and prayed to Goddess Ella for the first time.
If there is a next life. To not be lonely. To not be an illegitimate child. To wear a beautiful wedding dress with lots of flowers and frills as white as snow, to meet a man who truly loves her and have a happy wedding, to have children and raise them, to live an ordinary life and grow old… For her empty heart to be filled… She dares to wish to Goddess Ella.
[This is the timeline separator]Lorencia slowly raised her eyelids. She sat up and unfastened the purple amethyst necklace around her neck. The purple amethyst necklace was shining brightly. And she slowly turned her head to look around. All sorts of objects were floating around Lorencia.
“This is…”
It was the same scene as the night she awakened her power.
“What’s going on?”
She felt strange. She had been betrayed by Ruans and was starving to death in a cold prison, but she couldn’t understand what had happened to her and was dumbfounded. But one thing was clear. That she didn’t die.
Lorencia firmly grasped the amethyst necklace. Her heart started pounding hard. She looked straight at the mirror floating in front of her. Dark red hair and purple eyes. She saw her face.
Lorencia touched the mirror reflecting her with her fingertips. In the mirror, large tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. After staring at the mirror for a while, Lorencia pounded her chest and cried her heart out until all the strength left her body. Seeing the light of the amethyst necklace she was holding, Lorencia realized.
“The necklace showed me my future.”
Lorencia smiled a distorted smile, separate from the tears pouring down. Then what should she do? Isn’t it obvious! She used the deaths of many lives as stepping stones to be by his side. Happiness built on the misfortune of others cannot exist.
She realized this when she was imprisoned at 29. She felt like she would go crazy with regret over that fact in prison. An opportunity has come to undo the regret. She can correct what was wrong. Just that fact made her body shake uncontrollably, and tears kept rolling down her cheeks every time she blinked. She forcefully closed her eyes and opened them to try to hold back the flowing tears.
“Now I will discard.”
The words of Marquis Teishar Spencer of the Floyd Empire came to mind again. Lorencia grabbed her red hair with both hands. She glared at the mirror with bloodshot, cold eyes. Black smoke subtly and sharply wrapped around Lorencia. The light of the purple amethyst necklace began to fade.
“Return to your places.”
As soon as Lorencia spoke, the drawers, furniture, sofas, and objects floating around returned to their places as if it were a lie.
Originally, she should have cried and trembled in anxiety until morning, unable to control the objects moving on their own. Seeing that, Brant, Anne, and even Illina pointed fingers at her, calling her a ‘monster’.
“Yes. I’ll show you what a monster is.”
At 19, Lorencia, who knew nothing, no longer existed in that room.
