MEANWHILE


Walking pass the huge hallways of princess Rosemary Jen's majestic quarters leading towards her chamber.


The royal server, Daisy seemed disturbed.
 


Obviously, last night Princess was not in any correct sense for a proper communication which was why the royal server decided to leave her alone.


But now was the time to make her understand about the seriousness of this trial.
 


Though Princess cannot back off from it but she can at least withdraw her wish for the throne and save herself from this very humiliation.
 


Owning the knowledge already about how strict was master Xavier, no one ever dared to go against him in the entire territories of young Europe.


Let alone Princess was a woman.
She would not be able to bear such a critical shame later. 


Just when the hallways ended, Daisy reached at the doorways of Princess's chamber soon.


But only to get shocked witnessing the scene in front of her, she gasped in disbelief.
 


"Princess Rose...

A surprised squeaky whisper escaped pass the royal server's mouth watching her master's figure. 


Princess Rosemary Jen was sitting in front of the huge mirror while taking off her ornaments which maintained her prestige as a royal princess of the Louis's dynasty ever since she existed.
 


The scene was indeed surprising, the Princess has always been decorated with diamonds.
She never took those off. 


Her elegant adornment was famous all around the territory.
 


Her straight long hair which she always ties up with a diamond clip, looked so lost with none.
 


Getting the hold of her hair to the right side, she combed her hair with her splendid long beautiful fingers which once were decorated with couple of rings.
 


Her eyes were blank as she stared at herself in the mirror quietly.
Her silence was louder than thunders indeed. 


Daisy gulped in terror.
 


The scene hinted that the Princess was getting ready for her trial.
Was she really going to undergo this sick trial? 


Why?
 


What really happened to her?
Does she not know who embarrassing it is for a woman to be rejected by someone? 


That to this case is about a man practising strict celibacy, Princess has no chance of victory then why would she want to still show up?
 


One tremendous beauty she was with or without any adornment for sure but yet, she was never used to be like that.
 


Without anything on her, she seemed pale.
 


Only a pendant purely designed and sculptured in gold, had a huge luring diamond of blue hung around her neck.
That was the only ornament on her.


That pendant was her mother's last vestige.
It meant a lot to her, hence she never took it off since her mother's death. 


Leaving that one jewel she had nothing on herself, with no joy of decoration.
Her eyes were blank, so blank that could confuse many. 


Such a royal beauty suited no labour or struggle.
 


"What are you doing Princess Rose?

Daisy gutted to raise a question against the actions of her master, while Princess Rosemary didn't seem to mind her arrival. 


Not even moving a single inch, Princess Rosemary Jen never turned around to face her server to answer her question.
 


Instead uttering some confusing words, her behaviour seemed very doubtful.
 


"Look how beautiful she is!

Princess Rosemary Jen had her eyes ahead on the mirror, it was her reflection she was talking about and that very thing, terrified the royal server more. 


"Princess.

Daisy uttered again in an intention to get the Princess talk about yesterday's matter in a lot calmer way than last night. 


Wanting to explain the seriousness of the trial, Daisy obviously didn't wanted her master to face any humiliation.
 


But seemingly not the same case was with Princess Rosemary Jen whose upcoming long words seemed to surprise her royal server to no end.
 


"With no embellishment, with no enrichment, with no title.
She is just an illusion, Daisy."

Princess Rosemary Jen kept talking about herself, her eyes held a strong sense of proud also a weird sense of arrogance which never bothered the royal server before but today...


Princess Rosemary Jen's way of talking seem to terrify the royal server.
 


"A beautiful myth she is, created by me!

Not sure if she was actually talking about her own self anymore. 


The royal server gutted to question the meaning of Princess's indirect words.
 

"What are you talking about, Princess Rose?


Soon the Princess scoffed bitterly.
 

"Master Xavier...

She spelled out sarcastically when immediately the all the missing senses knocked into the head of the royal server. 


Widening her eyes, Daisy felt cold goosebumps covering all around her body from head to toe.
 


So, Princess Rosemary Jen's words hinted master Xavier all this time?
She was turning into someone else to trick him?


No wonder...
 


He, who doesn't even have any worldly desires and greed in his heart, nothing will get him tempted at all.
Nothing will lure him. 


Not even Princess Rosemary Jen's beauty.
 


No land can drive him in, no riches can bribe him...
only an illusion, a gorgeous myth can!


Hence, Princess Rosemary Jen created a gorgeous myth out of her.
Just like she said, she turned herself into an illusion... 


Getting up from her seat in front of the mirror, Princess Rosemary stood up and grabbed a long silk veil hooked up on the shiny wooden vintage cabinet next to her mirror.
 


Getting the grip of it her long magical fingers tied the veil up on her face securely, covering her features except one...


Her diamond shaped eyes were shining blue, burning in clear rage...
even though she had no adornment on yet she seemed one beautiful disaster. 


She seemed powerful than ever.
 


Witnessing her master's action, the royal server felt a rush of cold shiver.
 

"Veil?


What more could be the limit of her hardships to achieve the throne?
The very Miss who always found the veil suffocating her beauty was covering her face with one. 


To hide herself from others...
 


"Miss you are going to veil up your face?

The royal server questioned in disbelief. Her tone hinted that she could cry any moment. 


Indeed.
 


This was not the Princess the royal server knew before.
Certainly, Princess Rosemary Jen never was this determined to win over something.


Even the question of throne never drove her this stubborn before.
Clearly, she had so much in her heart...


After all she was betrayed by her own father at last.
 


Hearing the tone of disbelief of her royal server, Princess Rosemary Jen looked at her through the mirror.
 


"She will win him.

Princess Rosemary raised her fingers while tracing them very gently on her face in a slow motion. 


Her indication was on her veil.
This confused the royal server deep down. 


"And he will win her the throne!
"

Continuing again, Princess Rosemary Jen nodded to her own words. 


She was possessed by the hatred, anger and betrayal.
So many emotions such created a mess in Princess's life...


"The throne which I deserve, Daisy!

Princess Rosemary uttered finally, while letting her tears run out... Daisy cared for nothing anymore. 


At this point it was clear that Princess Rosemary won't budge from her decision, she wasn't going to face the trial to prove her worth for the throne but in reality she wanted to win over the king.


Her father...
who dared to trick her this badly. 


The green diamond being the only jewel with her, seemed to be the only ornament, Princess Rosemary Jen will be keeping with her...


Holding the grip of it Princess Rose kissed it tenderly through the veil before moving her blank eyes again on the mirror just to see her royal server weeping few tears of sadness.
 


It was a final bid.
Princess was now good to undergo her trail. 


"Take me with you, Princess!

Daisy uttered almost as a beg as then the veiled Princess finally turned back to look at her royal server. 


Approaching her, Princess's eyes were still blank with redness.
Raising her right hand up towards Daisy's cheek Princess Rosemary caressed it smoothly before wiping the flow of her running tears. 


"Don't talk foolish.

Spoke the Princess through her veil before taking her hands down and walking pass her royal server who started weeping more the other second. 


"How are you suppose to live alone there?

Daisy questioned holding both the hands of her master. 


While Princess stayed blank since the very start.
 


"What are you going to eat and how are you going to live without any assist Princess Rose?

Daisy continued her worries. 


Right, the very Princess who changes apparels thrice a day like her moods, the Princess who is so picky with her choices and demands...
how is she going to manage everything all alone? 


She had never been alone without the numbers of servers guarding and guiding her.
Now suddenly ditching the security she was about to leave the dynasty. 


It was all because of the trial.
 


The very Princess who has never even stepped out of the kingdom with the numbers of guards and servers protecting her, how is she going to survive all alone with none?
 


Princess Rosemary Jen too acknowledged everything, she knew well what she was getting herself into.
 


It was one difficult path.
 


Maybe the betrayal of her father got her this stubborn.
The want for the throne comes the second. Her pride still owns the first place in her heart. 


The step family indeed ruled the king's head for him to not see what the Princess had been through over all these years.
 


When her mother died, the king brought his second family in the palace.
He already had a son with someone else who was older than Rosemary. 


Harry was it.
 


But not belonging to the royals, the second family were believed to be illegitimate.
Their rights were reserved unlike Rosemary's...


She was the royal blood as her mother, who got married to the king with the acceptance of the throne.
She was the queen who brought the throne to king Louis...


Which was why the throne actually should belong to Rosemary but her being a woman troubled many...
 


All these years she had faced many hardships.
 


Now having it all enough, Princess was ready to face the final trial of her life and win the throne with her own struggle.
 


She intended to sew up the mouths of the entire family who always took her for granted.
 


"That is my trial, Daisy!

Princess uttered in a strict tone. 


"In order to get what I want, I need to sacrifice my comfort for a while.

Her words seemed way too confident and foreign, indeed she was disturbed a lot from inside. 


The betrayal indeed possessed her mind, she was raging.
 


The same hot tempered, arrogant Princess wasn't she anymore but one new one who thirsted for revenge for her title's disrespect.
 


She would do anything now to win over her father and prove him wrong.
Even if she had to trick anyone and get her hands dirty, she would do it! 


"Hardship is something none make a choose, everyone wants victory with no labour but what would be the joy of the victory with no pain?

Princess questioned sarcastically, her eyes which was the only feature in displayed had multiple emotions hidden within. 


Though it was blank.
 


Daisy knew it all.
 


"Neither I like easy success nor I am going to beg for anyone's mercy.

Uttering with unknown intentions, stubbornness didn't control her tongue this time but pride did. 


"In order to taste my victory deliciously, I have to get down on the mud and remove the pebbles from my way myself.

Now it was clear that the stubborn Princess wasn't going to step down. 


She was very determined.


"I am the disaster, this dynasty asked for.

The veiled Princess's eyes had a fire hidden within and that too was even powerful to dominate others. 


"I will make them all taste hell.

Spelling her final oath, Princess balled up her hands tightly. The royal server rubbed her tears away watching her master's determination. 


Not wanting to effect her anymore, Daisy too knew why it all was happening.
 


It was definitely the step family's poison which messed the King's head.
The Princess bore a lot and now it was the time to make the step family pay for their tricks.


"Hail, the queen!

Daisy proudly chanted.
