2024-10-29 19:42:56If things are happening according to Vision Of Ardiane, Aiden will be elected as the crown prince, and ascend the throne 2 weeks after due to the emperor's death – murder to be exact. His ruling times were the darkest era of Ardiane. He'll rule with great cruelty without a single sense of humanity. All commoner men and children would be captured and forced to do hard labor, while women were arrested for sexual desires.
As for Airis, don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, she became Aiden's wife. He didn't make anyone his consort or empress, only took in wives.
Because of the havoc caused, Azher and Adam joined forces as well with some nobles. They are known as Elite. The Absalom duchy was one of the houses. Because of Airis' position as Aiden's wife, she was assigned to be a spy in the imperial palace. Despite Aiden ruling cruelly, he had never hurt her. Airis also constantly pursued Aiden, hoping that he'll stop this madness.
Soon after, Aiden found out about her being a snake placed by his brothers. He prisoned and tortured Airis heartlessly until her death. Aiden becomes crueler after that, believing that everyone will betray him.
When the news of Airis' death became known to Elite, they knew Aiden had fully gone mad. So, the rebellion started and victory was Elite's. Over 300,000 people died including Adam, Julian, and the villain himself during the reign and rebellion. His reign lasted for 5 months, but it was certainly a living hell.
Leaving only Azher, the direct descendent, he rose to the throne and fixed all the chaos. He built new homes for the people and ruled the empire fairly, without any prejudice. The people were grateful for him and regretful as to why they didn't choose him in the first place. Soon, Ardiane reached back to its glorious era, ruled by Azher himself. This is the exact reason why I have to make Azher the next emperor! I can't die dreadfully like that!
I drown my face in the plushie. Just thinking about it gives me headaches. If only I found a way back, I wouldn't have to worry about these things.
Almost surrendering to the negative thoughts, I sit up and slap my face. "Ugh! Stop worrying too much! I have my memories about the dream, the deal with Azher, and the strongest military family that supports Ardiane, the Absalom duchy! Everything will be fine!"
"…I hope."

Vision Of Ardiane MEMORY 4: New Technology (Pt.1)
"A maid from the duke's manor had arrived. She said she has something important to give you. Most likely to be Lady Airis' maid." Felix reports."Anything suspicious in the past few days?""Nothing in particular. She'd only stay in the manor.""…Let her in." I give my permission after thinking for a while. Felix nods and brings in the maid. She bows down, greeting me."Greetings upon the fourth sun, Prince Azher Alexander Ambrose.""Stand forth. What brings you to the imperial palace?"Rather than answering, she glances towards Felix and the maids who are standing at the corners of my office, watching us.'She wants what happens here, stays here, huh?'I make eye contact with Felix, signing him to leave. He obeys and leaves the room, followed by the maids. By then, it is just the two of us."I assumed Lady Airis wants this to be a secret?""Yes. Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."I nod

"Good afternoon, Lady Airis. I am Alfred Raff, head butler of Prince Azher's palace. I will escort you to His Highness today." A middle 40 years old man bows to me."Hello, Alfred. Thank you for escorting me." I thank him while my eyes inspect his attire. It's exactly like a butler uniform in historical British movies.He stands up and places his left hand on his chest. "No need to thank me, my lady for this is my job." Alfred says.I just smile as a response and follow him walk along the road. Despite arriving here at midday, the temperature isn't hot and the wind is breezy. Over 20 maids line up along the road, bowing to us.'Woah… Little did I expect to have such a grand welcome. The duke's daughter's position is indeed high.'We soon enter the palace. I'm amazed by the fancy classic sight. This is exactly like what's shown in historical movies and drama series, but ten thousand times better! The walls were painted with gold and white pai

Lilith Pandora is one of the 'perfect' types of people. Long wavy light pink hair, bright blue eyes, and a beautiful face. Make sense if His Majesty fell for her. But pushing all that aside, I'd say she needs mental treatment. ASAP.When she's angry, she throws fits and destroys all kinds of stuff to vent. She often compares his son, Aiden, with the other princes. Even worse, she even poisoned His Majesty's food after Aiden won the crown prince election because she couldn't wait for Aiden to ascend the throne. Like that's not enough, she was the one who tortured Airis to death. Voluntary! Haa… Her sins are uncountable beyond belief.The reason why she hired the assassins was that Zane is the first in line for the throne – he's the empress' son. According to the law, if anything happened to Zane, a crown prince election will be held – because all sons from wives are equally second in line.As for Amira – Azher's mom – she happened t
Vision Of Ardiane MEMORY 5: Unwanted Attention (Pt.1)
A dim light illuminates my bedroom. I watch the sunset outside while sitting at the round small table near the window, enjoying red tea. "I heard my lovely little brother Azher had a visitor yesterday?" I take a sip from the cup, glancing at the spy my 'mother' planted in Azher's palace. "Yes, Your Highness. Lady Airis Absalom visited His Highness yesterday." Alfred reports. Hearing that, I instantly put down the cup. "Lady Airis? Why did they meet?" I ask in a furious tone. "I'm not sure, Your Highness. Prince Azher dismissed everyone except Sir Felix. But, Lady Airis asked for a container with some holes on the lid, a few water plants with roots and fish." "There must be something exciting. It's a shame I wasn't invited." "Find out what they were doing." I order. "Yes, Your Highness." "Leave." After Alfred leaves, I clench my teeth and throw the cup, venting my anger. "That brat! So you're trying to get the duchy's su

"How are you, Airis? I came to visit you because I heard you were hurt at the imperial ball." "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine now, as you see. How about Your Highness?" I politely response, despite wanting to run from this place. But… He called me without honorifics just now. Are Airis and him close? "I'm fine too." He answers. I just put on a fake forced smile as a response. 'Relax, he can't do anything.' I reassure myself once again. I've examined him earlier and it doesn't seem he has anything that can harm me. Besides, before Mina left earlier, I had asked her to station at least a dozen of knights outside of the lounge. I'm sure they're already there. "By the way, I heard you visited the Rafferty's the other day." "Yes. My apologies for being absent on your previous visit." I apologize without even meaning it, just for etiquette. It's not my fault for not being home. "I understand. It was an untold visit like today t

"I can try to rearrange my schedule, but aren't you busy too?" I reply. Though in reality, I won't even try. "It's fine. I don't have much to do in the summer palace. You can come anytime." "Oh, is that so?" I act surprised. I'm sure he either postponed his work or passed some of it to Azher and Adam. I pity you guys for having such a brother. "Umm… Airis. Why don't we take a walk around the manor?" "I loved to, but unfortunately, my free time is very limited. A bunch of work is piling on my desk." I decline politely. 'Spending more alone time with you, the one who'll cause my potential death? Oh, no thank you.' "…Can't you do that later?" He pouts like a sad kitty. Even so, I ain't falling for that – even though I almost do because I'm weak with pretty faces. "I'm very sorry, Your Highness. I cannot delay it any longer for the due is near." I reject his offer once again. I swear if he still doesn't understand, I'll shove this
Vision Of Ardiane MEMORY 6: Theron (Pt.1)
"Excuse me, is Lady Airis present?" I ask a nearby maid in the duke's manor's garden. "S-Sir Felix…!" She startles, almost dropping the basket filled with white clean cloths. She quickly rightens the position of the basket in her hands, answering, "My lady is at the training grounds." "Training grounds?" I ask again, squinting a little. Why would a lady be at the training grounds? Don't ladies usually avoid these kinds of places? "Yes. She has been learning swordsmanship and self-defense." She explains. "Alright. Thank you." I thank her, saving my questions for the lady later. She nods and leaves to resume her job while I immediately head towards the training grounds. 'Swordsmanship and self-defense? This lady sure is full of surprises.' As I step foot into the training grounds, from afar, I can recognize Lady Airis because of her unique silver hair. She is wielding her sword on a sword training dummy. 'She must be quite strong
Vision Of Ardiane MEMORY 6: Theron (Pt.2)
Suddenly, a blue flash appears. My eyes instantly shut for the high brightness – may cause blindness. A sound as if the cube was shattered into pieces rings in my ear. I slowly open my eyes, just for my sight to be hazy from the thick dust and smoke. "Cough! Cough!" A few coughs exit my throat and my eyes shut tight once again as the air around me is highly dangerous and polluted to breathe. One of my hands covers my mouth and nose, acting as a mask while the other brushes away the smoke and dust in front of me. After it's almost clear and safe, I quickly run and scold angrily at Sir Felix. "Did you have fun attempting to murder me?!" He doesn't react, frozen. My fingers curl into fists. "Are you ignoring me or just deaf?" I insult him with a glare, yet still no reaction. Then, I notice his gaze is focusing on something. Something that's located behind me. Curious, I turn around. "…!" My mind goes blank like a sheet of plain paper, a c

MEMORY 31: How It Ends (Pt.2)
I grip the glass in my hand, looking into the reflection of me in the cold water. My eyes are red and puffy from crying. Thankfully, my makeup is waterproof, or it’ll be messy due to the tears. Azher comes and sits beside me after putting away his suit – “Hot.” He says, despite the aircon turned on 18oC.“Theron didn’t erase your memories and told you everything, right?” I fire my assumption, eyes fixated on the water.“…Yes. She thought I have a say in this matter.” Azher truthfully admits, though halting before that.“…” I say nothing. Honestly, I want to complain, but it already took place, so it’s no use.“How are you here?” My head shifts to him, asking a more interesting question.“Theron sent me here.”“How?”“Is it important? I’m here now, aren’t I?” He says, appearing to avoid my qu

“You…! Are you alright?!” He yells, rushing towards me and crouching down to check my legs. “How can you be so careless? What if it burns your legs?” He scolds me with an angry frown, but I give no response, only looking at his familiar black hair. He stands up, looking at me a few seconds later. From this nearer distance, I stare at his face, examining every single feature. It’s him. It’s really him. My hand reaches his cheek. It’s chubby. It’s solid. This is real. This isn’t a dream. “Is it… really you?” I ask, somehow sounding desperate. He smiles warmly, grabbing my hand. He looks into my eyes as I look into his. That charming smile. That mesmerizing gaze. Those that I haven’t seen for 5 years. “I found you, Kira.” Thinking no more, my body moves on its own. I hastily pull his suit, hugging him so tight that I don’t care if he’s choking. “Azher! It’s really you!” I cry, squeezing my embrace

*Splash!* “Huff… Huff…” I pant from splashing my face with cold water numerous times, hands leaning on the sink. Yet why am I still not calm?! You deserve to be happy, Kira. You always do. I stare into the reflection of me in the mirror, eyes captured on the purple gem necklace I’ve never taken off in the past 5 years. It’s Purple Tears, the one Azher gave me. It’s also the only thing from Ardiane that’s here in my world – it was around my neck by the time I woke from a coma. Even I don’t understand how it’s possible. “…Hah. I’m pissed.” Not because of Ihan’s words. But because of me. Because of my ignorant self who neglects my happiness. I’m disappointed… with myself. There’s been a thought that frequently lingers in my mind for the past 3 years. For how long are you going to be like this, Kira? Yes, for how long am I going to refuse to move on from Azher? He was somebody I was willing to let go. For

*Click.* Ihan pushes the up arrow button and takes a step back – standing beside me. I discreetly glance at him. He’s wearing a poker face, not the smiley one he’d often wear when visiting other companies. I softly sigh, careful not to get caught. Throughout the journey, we didn’t exchange any words other than the previous unfinished conversation. Yeah, it was also that. ‘What did you mean by that? Surely, not…’ *Ding-!* The system rings, signing the lift has arrived. The door opens, presenting zero souls. I gulp as I enter the lift after Ihan. There are 31 levels in our journey – our destination is at the 35th level. 4 levels had passed yet the awkward bridge between us hadn’t been destroyed. This is definitely the awkwardest lift ride in my entire life! I wish to find a way to break this barrier. Even though Ihan is my mentor, we’re really close friends. Similar to my relationship with… “…” …K

“You’ll get a stomachache if you eat it like that, Kira.” Ihan reminds me, sipping his three shots of Americano. “It’s your treat. Might as well get the best of it.” I answer, continuing to take another bite of the slices of different cakes I’ve ordered despite an empty stomach. Ihan Arias, my mentor and colleague at Memoir – a European cosmetic company. We’ve known each other since a year ago – when I first joined the company. “Why are you craving so many sweets? Stressed?” My hand halts. I lift my head with my messy mouth, expressionless. “Yes! Very! Absolutely!” I yell with the utmost frustration. “Hahaha!” Ihan laughs at my answer, perhaps enjoying my torment. “You’re particularly a female Einstein. How can you be stressed at work?” “Einstein is human and I’m human too, you know?” “A prodigy isn’t human.” He takes another sip. “It’s amazing how you got enrolled in a top university and graduated early despite being i

MEMORY 29: It’s ‘See You Later’ (Pt.2)
I start to monitor Kira’s breathing and heartbeat – suddenly remembered first aid – and try to stop her from bleeding more. As time flies, her breath gets heavier to the point I can hear it. She’s starting to have trouble breathing. I check her airways and they’re not clogged. It can mean only one thing… “Azher… Can you… help me?” She asks in an intermittent voice from heavy breathing. “Anything for you.” “I’ve… summoned Theron, yet… she hasn’t… arrived… Can you…” “I’m not leaving you alone.” I say firmly, knowing what the next words are. “No…” She denies. Her eyes avert to Killian’s corpse. “Destroy… moon brooch.” My head shifts and spot a crescent moon brooch. “I think… that’s blocking…” I stand up, not burdening Kira to explain further. Since it’s not far I go and fetch the brooch. As it’s in my grasp, I drop and quickly step on it – to destroy it. But, it doesn’t crack. Not even a little. “…?” I bend

MEMORY 29: It’s ‘See You Later’ (Pt.1)
I sprint towards Aiden near the walls – honestly be vibing like a ninja. Azher is doing a great job at averting his attention – shouting and jumping like a wild monkey that escaped from a zoo, and dodging his attacks without a hitch. *Knock!* Aiden falls into my arms from my knock on his neck, lifeless and defenseless. The wooden planks aiming at Azher also fall on the ground because there’s no mana to make flying or floating possible. “Mission complet-” “Kira, let go of that moron!” Azher yells. *Plop.* My body automatically obeys his childish demand – raising both of my hands after letting Aiden fall just like that. “There. Happy?” “Very.” He answers with a chuckle. I smile, then dash to him. He opens his arms wide and I jump right in. “We did it.” I whisper into his ear, standing on my tiptoes with my arms around his neck. My tears are about to fall from this immense joy within me. “Yeah, we did.” He
