BLACK ROSE

CHAPTER 5

CHAPTER 5

Apr 28, 2022

 “Scarlett,where are you?I know you’re somewhere here.Please come back home.I promise I’ll protect you so please,just come back home.”

That dark grey hair.That balck hair eyes that shines brighter than the moon and that soft voice,that soft voice.

That soft voice that was calling me to go back home.That soft voice that used to call my name.That soft voice that used to protect me.That soft voice was the voice of my brother.

Tears were slowly coming out of my eyes.My heart started aching.My face turned pale.All those painful memories started coming back again.I can’t afford to see my brother's face so I ran.I ran as fast as I could.

I didn’t realise the two strangers were following me.I didn’t care.My heart won’t stop aching.I was scared to see my brother’s face.I didn’t realise there was a cliff in front of me.I almost slipped and fall but the dark blue hair guy saved me.He held onto my hips and my arms.Now thinking back I didn’t know their name.

“Thank you dark blue hair guy.” It was embarrassing to call him that but I didn’t know his name.

“It’s Isaac my Lady,” with an annoyed tone.

“Pfft,hahaha,dark blue hair guy?You're a funny one you know,oh and my name is Robin and please don’t call me yellow hair guy.”

I was beyond embarrassed.I was scared to look at his face again while Robin was still laughing uncontrollably.I still was confused how Robin was laughing in a situation like this.

“Robin,would you stop laughing in a situation like this?”

“I’m sorry but it’s just too funny.”

“I’m sorry,I didn’t mean to make fun of you or make a fool out of you.”

“It’s fine,everybody makes mistakes, just don’t do it again.” with a soft tone voice.

“Now princess, don't you think It’s a good time to tell us why you’re running away from home.”
“It’s a really long story.”

“It’s okay,we can stay here all night.”

I was considering not telling the story.My mind went blank for a few seconds.But I owe them an explanation since I almost risked their lives for my own selfish reasons.

“Hey, have you heard that the princess was offered a marriage proposal by the duke of the south.”

“There’s no way that princess is getting a marriage proposal.”

“It was really hard to believe at first but there’s been a lot of presents given by the duke to the princess to accept his proposal,but it seems like the princess is rejecting every single present given to her by him.”

“What a selfish brat.She should be grateful that someone even proposed to her.If it’s not for the duke,nobody else wants to marry her with the looks she has right now.”

“Shhh,she’s coming this way.”

I’m tired.Can the gift stop coming in already.It’s just the same thing over and over.Won’t he stop with this marriage crap.I think it’s better for me to talk about this with father.Maybe father can convince him to stop.

“Father,I’ve come to discuss something with you.”

“What is it Scarlett?”

“Can you convince the duke of the south to stop sending marriage proposal gifts.It's getting annoying at this point father.”

“Do you not like the duke of the south Scarlett?”

“I didn’t say that father.”

“Then I didn’t see the problem.He also seems like a good guy.I think he will take good care of you.”

“Don’t you think it’s a bit early for me to get married,father,I just recently turned eighteen and personally I think it’s a bit early.I think your concern should be on your son.He is twenty three years old.I think it’s an appropriate age for him to get married.”

“He’s strong, he can take care of himself.The only one I’m concerned about is you.You’re a girl correction,a lady.You’re weaker than your brother so it makes sense for me to be concerned for you instead of your brother.”

“But father-”

“Enough.This won’t be a discussion anymore.Princess Scarlett,you will be married off to the duke of the south,duke Herman Galagher.Is there an objection you like to point out before you will be married off to,Princess Scarlett?”

“No, Your Highness.”

“Okay and by that,this discussion is over.You can get ready to meet your future husband and make sure to look pretty.”

“Yes,Your Highness.”

It’s useless,nobody can understand my feeling.Not father,not mother and not even brother.I shouldn’t even go to father,I already know what he will say.I just wasted my energy and my breath.I was lucky enough to not go to mother.Anyway I better get ready to meet duke Galagher.

“Isn’t it a beautiful day,my Lady.”

“Yes,yes it is my Lord.”

“Just drop the formalities,we’ll be married in a few months so I think you should be calling Herman my Lady.”

“Not in a million years.”

“Don’t be too mean,my Lady.”

Those sly black eyes of his.Brown hair,slim body and sharp jaw.His looks are very deceiving.Many people seem to fall for his traps but I won’t be one of them.All those days that I locked myself in my room doesn’t prevent me from being the smartest one in the family.

“You know my Lord,I refused to be married to someone who doesn’t have any pride or someone who doesn’t know how to treat someone right.”

“Is that supposed to be me?”

“Who else, my Lord.” while smiling.

“I think you were supposed to describe me being charming and smart.”

“Do you think I won’t know what you are really planning?Your biggest mistake was proposing to me.You see despite me not having good looks that doesn’t prevent me from being smarter and stronger than you.You see look is not everything for me,the most important thing for me is knowledge and power.I’m still innocent at the time,but if you hit my nerve or piss me off,I won’t hesitate to ruin your life.Well I hope you won’t be bothering me anytime soon and please,cancel your proposal.That’s it for me and I hope you have a terrible day my Lord.”

That ought to teach him a lesson.Now all I need to do is go through mother and father scolding.I have a feeling they're gonna go ten times worse than my usual scolding.But I’m gonna face them tonight and force them to tell the truth.The truth for everything.


“Did you really just turned him down”

“Brother.”

“Father and mother ain’t gonna be happy after hearing this news.”

“I know,but I’m ready to hear their two hour lecture, maybe five hours,I don’t know.Anyway I’m ready to hear their lectures.”

“You better brace yourself.”

“Thank you brother,I totally need it.”

It’s twelve o’clock,There should be the head maid knocking in *knock knock* ahh there she is.

Today is the day I’m gonna confront them about everything.But why,why do I feel scared.I’m just gonna confront them about why they are locking me inside of my room and not letting me go outside even for a second before the banquet.I’m scared.

“Father,mother.You have summoned me.”

*clack clack*

Ah she’s walking toward me no,she’s rushing towards me.

*slaps*

“Don’t you have any pride and shame towards yourself,you insolent child!!!”

“Mother,I am not a child.I’m eighteen years old which means,I’m no longer a child.I’m a fully grown adult.And mother,I don’t appreciate you using the word insolent towards me.”

“You dare talk back to me,after all I’ve done to you!”

“What you’ve done,what you’ve done towards me.What have you done huh,what have you.Is locking me and not letting me see a ray of light something is something you’ve done towards me.Yes,yes it is.”

“Do you realise who you're talking to you selfish brat,I’m your mother!!”

“I want to know.Why did you lock me,why did you never let me attend anything,why did you forbid me to do anything,do you hate me?”

“Scarlett hon,let’s not go too far shall we,Ysabell give her some space.She’s still so young,she doesn't know what she’s talking about.”

“You wanna know the truth don’t you,well let me tell you the truth.Yes,yes I do hate you.My only regret in life was giving birth to you.You’re a monster.Nobody care about you,nobody love you,nobody,and I mean nobody want to know where you are,whether you're alive or dead,whether you’re healthy or sick nobody care,why because you are the devil's child.”
Ahhh,so that’s why.Why do I feel so empty.Why am I not feeling sad.If so why are there tears coming out of my eyes.Why do I feel sick.Why do I wanna scream and shout I don't care.But I can’t,I can’t say it.No.My tongue refused to move.I feel sick,I feel like throwing up.I wish time would stop,I wish my heart would stop breathing,I wish the walls here would suffocate me,I wish the air would choke me.I wish,I wish.I’ve never been born.

But why,why is something in me burning.It feels like I could lose control anytime.

“If I’m the devil’s child,then what are you?”

“Are you a saint,or an angel,or maybe a devil?” in a manipulative tone and a smirk.

“You brat,you should be grate-”

“No.You tortured me,you lock me up just because of my powers.You’re scared of me.You can’t control me,you want to married me off to someone to someone that has the capabilities of killing me.Ah,ha ha how funny,and you think I wouldn’t know.I’ve had enough.You now thank you,thank you for raising me to be a human.”

A tear dropped onto the floor.Every corner of her face was covered by ice.Her eyes turned red.The room was suddenly freezing cold.Then there was a sudden light coming from scarlett and in a matter of a second,the whole room was covered in ice.

“What happened.Why is the room covered in ice?Mother,father, where are yo-”

Her eyes widened and her hand started shaking.What she saw terrified her in a lot of ways.There lies an ice statue that has the face of her parents and it was her parents.

“So the rumours were-”

“Yes it is true.I killed the King Alphonse and Queen Consort Ysabell.
