Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate

He was sure that the Empress would be happy seeing their son, slowly coming out of his shell and going back to his past self. Coming back to the Evan, when he was a kid. Turning into the person whom Alexander know. 

Now, all he had to do was to give Evan a good insight on all the royal affairs and hand him the empire. Evan was already capable to handle the kingdom. He was mature now and intelligent enough, he knew how to and when to talk to anyone. Alexander can almost see a successful Emperor in him, despite being so young. 

The aristocrats and the imperial faction officials were also instantly agreed for announcing Evan as the crown prince, reasoning there were only princesses left except for a prince who is still playing in a sandbox with the other children. Indirectly telling, Evan is the oldest and smartest among all his children. 

Everything was going just as Alexander hoped and as he planned. He planned a path with great thoughts to make Evan as the next emperor and righteously made everything go as he thought making Evan to succeed the throne like a cake walk. His final goal was to make Evan the emperor to establish his reign and then he can rest in peace without any worries. Only a capable person can lead the empire and he was sure Evan is the only capable person among his children. 

Evan almost, didnt have any opposition and Alexander was glad it was that way. He was proud, that nobody can stand against his strong son. 

Alexander had to face a lot of resistance, when he was crowned as the crown prince and announced the as next heir to the Seazle throne. And the sudden, unexpected death of his father, who was the formal Emperor of the kingdom before Alexander took over the throne, didn't help in any way. 

He was too young to take over the throne. He knew, he was capable more than anyone, but the officials didn't make it easy for him. Dirty politics were played. Plans were made to kill him. Every day waking alive felt like an achievement. Not a single place was felt a safe house. Even during sleep he had to stay alert. But, he raised above all the odds, to achieve his right. The right to succession. He was the righteous person for the throne and he couldn't give it up for his life. He need to take care of his people and continue the glory of the seazle kingdom. 

That was the most painful path, he had ever walked on in his whole life. But, he wouldn't change anything about his life path. That painful path, gave him the most beautiful garden, he could only wish to have. So, he would happily, go through all of it again, if he were to encounter that beauty again in an heart beat. 

In the case of Evan, he already proved his worth. He didn't give any of them a chance to let him down. He faced all of the officials and proved his worth and claimed his right. 

When he would finally pass his responsibilities to his son then, he could wait peacefully for the moment, he can finally reunite with his beloved in the heavens. 

He never wanted anything more than to do this quickly. But, everything has a right time and he was waiting for it. Waiting for his time. When all his tasks were all finally completed.

Alexander just stood there, thoughts all racing in his mind and his eyes glossed over a little. Reminiscing the memories was both happy and sad at the same time. His bittersweet memories, were what kept him going. 

Evan just stood there. Watching his father's gloss over. He didn't knew, what was running through his father's mind. But, he knew one thing, he was sad and in need for comfort. He was also broken. Just like him.

Evan was aware, how much his father loved his mother. Her death shook both of them. They loved her the most. They coped with the pain, differently. But, the unfortunate thing, they did it separately, not together. 

Pain of loosing of loved one should be cooped together. Otherwise, no matter how much you love them, the other would always seem too far away to be reached.

He loved his father. So much, very much. He was his favorite person, alive. He was a great role model, for him. He always taught him how to do things on his own and shared his wisdom. Never forced him. He never felt obligated to follow anything he didnt like. 

Even though, Evan was distant from him. He never tried to force anything on him. Always respected his opinion. 

Alexander Seazle was not only a great Emperor but, a great father to him. He never showed his emotions or gave his gratitude to his father but, he knew his father somehow, understood him. 

The both father and son, loved each other immensely but, never knew how to reach out for each other. Their love was slowly, becoming the reason for the distance between them. 

Alexander gazed into Evan's eyes and saw them glossed over. He exactly knew, what he was thinking and he was grateful to have son like him. Evan maybe insensitive and less expressive but, his feelings run very deep. He knows it. After all, he saw Evan since he was little baby. 

They finally, made their way to the hallway, where the Rutz family were waiting for them.

"Good luck with your duties. Thank you for the meal." Aeinshia respectfully, bowed deep to the men, who are older than her and also, loved her to bits. 

Everyone returned her gesture with smiles and went on their ways to better the kingdom. Aeinshia watched them, until their silhouettes disappeared at the corner and sighed happily. She walked to her chambers, with a little skip in her steps. 

All the people in dining hall were soon, immersed in their own things unknown of the one traitor, who listened to their whole conversation. 

Outside the Palace:

"Our whole plan is ruined! These men! Why are they always had to intervene in every plan of ours." 

The person took a deep breath to calm down the growing anger inside them and closed their eyes. A cold smirk made its way onto their face, which had no less meaning than pure evil. 

"Don't worry, my Aeinshia darling. We would always find a way to have fun. Despite any situations. Stay strong, you will need it. See you soon on your journey, beloved princess of Seazle~"

.....

Aeinshia burst into her room and excitedly walked into it. She was happy. Very very very happy. How can she not?

She achieved the unachievable. The one she thought she wouldn't able to achieve at all. She was going to change her fate, after all. The incident that took place at the dense forest of City Sylter would not take place anymore. 

As soon as she stepped inside, she scanned her whole room for anyone's presence. Her maids are often here, to check on her outfits or jewellery or her beauty items.

She needs to be careful about her next step. 

When she was sure, that no one were present in her room, she quickly closed and locked the door. She then, almost ran over to her window and peaked up at the sky. 

It wasn't early, nor was it that late for the sky to shine brightly. Though, the sun was shining in the sky, clouds were masking most of its sharp heat rays. With the harmony of clouds and sun working together, their was correct balance of heat and coolness in the weather.

She looked up at the sky and clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest and closed her eyes. She breathed out heavily and smiled a bit. 

"Whoever the higher being gave me this chance, I'm grateful to you. I was able to understand my mistakes and I think, for some extent I tried to rectify them. And now, when the first thing that flipped my life is coming, you gave me a way to avoid that. Thank you for everything. I'll make sure, that whoever betrayed me, would see the end that I was supposed to see. Just a request from my side. Please, please, always be with me, in every step. You gave me the chance so, please guide me to my salvation too." 

Aeinshia prayed out loudly but, not too loud to be heard throughout the room. If anything she has learned with the comparison of her past life. It is to be grateful. Express your gratitude sooner, than later. 

She was the one, who wished for a second chance and was given. Now, she had to put an effort to change it. Not wait for someone, to change it.
