Prologue

"Cassy, do you think father will get any better soon?" I asked my siamese cat who's comfortably grooming herself on my bed. She just threw a quick glance at me and continued to lick herself.

"You disrespectful cat!" I jokingly shouted and threw myself on my queen size bed and played with my snob cat.

"Countess Alexa. Countess Alexa?" Came a soft knock on my door.
"I'm coming nurse Cindy!" I replied. I was quick to open the door, offering my nurse a smile. "Why, hello there nurse." I greeted at her lovingly, only to be returned with a sad smile. "Countess Alexa, your father asks for you. He's in his room." She silently said. I nodded and said a quick thank you before I went to see my father.

I heard sobs even before I went inside the room and It sent my heart on a horse race. 'It couldn't be, my father is getting well, he's not dying.' I assured myself before I burst the doors open. I was greeted with mournful cries and my father lying down in his bed, almost dying. I rushed to run to his side and my tears raced to fall down on my cheeks.

"Father," I choked the words out.
"Hold on. It's not time for you yet."
"Lexi, my dear." He said, running out of breath. "Papa could not make it anymore. I k-know You will s-soar higher t-than a-an-anyone. Please Take good care o-of our f-family." He took a few more breath and finally letting go of my hand. The room was then again filled with unbearable pain and sorrowful cries.

"That bastard who poisoned your father should pay!" Mother screamed, forgetting about manners and etiquettes . "W-who poisoned father?" I sternly asked with bloodshot eyes. I never really got mad nor care about the person who poisoned my father because I was quick to forgive whoever did this treacherous act not until now that it brought my father's death. "Who else could it be?! It should be Lord Damion who did this! He envied father for his close relationship with the King and was afraid that you might be betrothed to the crown prince instead of his daughter Lady Adrianna!" She tried to silence a scream by gritting her teeth. "That evil man! He shall have a share of his own game!" I sworn then stormed out from the dreadful room.

I hurriedly changed into my armor suit and continued to our training room. I had done a sword fight with the mannequins, destroying each one. After letting out my anger to those poor mannequins, I sat on a chair to rest while my head is running wild, thinking of a revenge. My sister's words echoed in my head.

Who else could it be?! It should be Lord Damion who did this! He envied father for his close relationship with the King and was afraid that you might be betrothed to the crown prince instead of his daughter Lady Adrianna!

Well, that's it! I will make it sure to fulfill Lord Damion's fear to taunt him and make him and his family suffer a bit more until my anguish subsides. I will make the prince fall for my bait, marry him, be the queen and make Lord Damion pay for his sins. I WILL BE THEIR GREATEST NIGHTMARE!!!
