THE DESTINY OF THE SUN AND THE MOON
CHAPTER 2-THIS TIME WILL NOT BE LIKE IT USED TO BE

After that, I was brought back by Diana to my room. I rejected everyone including the healer that the Emperor called and only wanted to be with Mother and Diana alone. And for hours they calmed me down and after I cried Mother lovingly fed me the food Diana brought.

Mother had asked me many times what made me cry like this but firmly I shook my head, I really did not want to tell her not to tell her anything about the future, no one will believe me either.

After eating, I was told to rest and gently stroked my head while singing softly.

Sun shining~ illuminating earth~

Kids start playing happily~

By nightfall~ Month replace~

The sun~ Illuminates lak~

Together with thousands of stars night~

Miracle it~ Really beautiful~

Miracle ~ Who drove kids to wade~

World of their beautiful dreams~

I smiled at this song, this is a song that Mother often sings and is the lullaby of the parents in this Empire. A song that makes me feel nostalgic, when was the last time I heard it?

Slowly I felt Mother who began to rise from her position which was originally sitting beside me while stroking my hair and not long after that the sound of the door closing was heard.

I opened my eyes again, it seemed like Mother and Diana thought I was asleep.

All right, now we remember.

The real me was offered to the Sun God by being burned alive as punishment for being accused of poisoning the Emperor. And I clearly remember the last words I said before I died.

And it seems that the Sun God does exist, because he answered my words and I was given a second chance to repeat my life and send me back to the past. If my theory is correct, I am very grateful to Lord Sonne or the Sun God for giving me a second chance.

I guess when I was allowed to leave the palace when I was eighteen, the first place I visited was the Sun God Temple.

Eilidh Empire is indeed very worshipful Sun God or Sonne God as the Main God. On the side of the Sun God there is the Moon Goddess Selena who is always revered in this Empire. It is said that long ago, the world was very chaotic due to endless wars. Until finally there is a God who is fed up with the behavior of humans on earth and then he destroys whatever he meets. He is the God of Destruction, the God of Detrou.

Many humans are victims of the violence and brutality of the God Detrou in killing the humans in that era. Until the humans prayed to the other Gods to save them and beg for their forgiveness.

The prayer was answered by two Gods, they are God Sonne the Sun God and Goddess Selena the Moon Goddess. Both are not allowed to appear at the same time because it will certainly disturb the balance of the world, but their strong feelings and determination to save humanity from suffering is even greater. The world is instantly changed, the right half of the earth is daytime and the left half is night.

The battle was fierce until the God of Destruction lost to the Sun God and the Moon Goddess. The God of Destruction was then sealed underground by the Sun God and the Moon Goddess with an extremely powerful seal. Since then, the humans have been so grateful to the Sun God and Moon Goddess that they have been worshipped. Then with it the humans began to reshape their destroyed civilizations by forming new Empires and kingdoms.

The Eilidh Empire was formed with the humans who witnessed firsthand how fierce the fight of the three Gods even made them worship the Sun God and the Moon Goddess and formed this Empire with the name Eilidh which in ancient languages meant Sun which means the Empire is dedicated to the Sun God who is indeed more domineering in that fight.

And no matter when, the tradition of offering to the Sun God began. The offering was a young girl who was burned alive to be the 'Wives' of the Sun God. This was done because the Sun God loved the Moon Goddess so much, but they were never together because the two were bound by the rules of the world and could not meet as they pleased. Therefore, the ancient people of this Empire took the initiative to present young girls once every fifty years to the Sun God by being burned by the holy fire.

Wait--It means I'm one of the wives of the Sun God dong?! But, now I'm instead sent back to the past. Is this because the Sun God doesn't like me huh...

I shook my head hard, didn't I? Don't think like that! This is even a good thing because whether this is indeed the deed of the Sun God or not, I have been given a second chance to fix everything!

Ah... No. It's very difficult... Maybe I can act more cute and also get closer to the Crown Princes and Princes, but it seems like for the Emperor it is beyond repair... I was five years old now (six years later when I heard Diana say that to my comfort), that means that Emira aka the Princess of her dark relationship with the woman was born as well even the same age as me now!

And again, the Emperor did love me a long time ago, but ever since Emira and her mother revealed themselves, the relationship between the Emperor and Mother was broken. Every time they met they must have had a fight and no more of their interactions were as sweet as before. They even fought a cold war for four years before Mom was found dead mysteriously when I was sixteen and also during that time, the Emperor's affection for me also faded.

When the Crown Prince and the princes and I cried over Mother's departure, the Emperor did not show any sadness at all. He looked flat on hearing of his legitimate wife's death and just said, "Oh, so he's dead?"

But whether for the sake of his image or not, in a public place he showed a face of shock and also firmly he ordered all the Soldiers to investigate the death of my Mother but the results remained nil. I was confused then, whether the Emperor was really in shock or not was because when he first heard that he was having a tea party with Emira and also his mother only had a flat expression when me and Prince Blaze relayed the news to him.

I snorted softly almost laughing, hahhh...

Maybe that was the original reason, after all he was a jerk who had betrayed mother, surely he was two-faced!

And a year later, the Emperor announced that his concubine, Mother Emira, would be the next Empress, and I and Prince Blaze would be very surprised and opposed to the decision, but how surprised we were when suddenly Prince Helios agreed to it and was cold to me and warm to Emira and her Mother, after the absolute decision of the Emperor and also the support of the Crown Prince and Prince Helios, he said, Emira's mother became the new Queen.

My heart was very painful at the time, but I still had Prince Blaze by my side and always strengthened me.

"Calm down, Vivi! Everything's gonna be okay! I'm sure the attitude of the Elders has changed because they're exhausted with the affairs of the Empire! Vivi, take it easy, because your Blaze sister will always be in your hands!"

The moment I remembered those words from Prince Blaze made my heart feel extremely ill. He lies... He had lied because a few months before my death at the age of eighteen he changed. He changed and acted coldly towards me and then being nice to Emira also started to get along with my two sisters again. He ignored and looked so hateful to me, that he was the one who tortured me in the dungeon and the one who burned me with a smile full of satisfaction on his face.

Tears began to fall on my cheeks, no... This is not the time to cry. I know now I can't count on anyone anymore because the people who used to love me in the future they'll be cold and don't care about me anymore.

I just have myself, and now I'm determined that things won't be the way they used to be. This time I hope to protect Mother and Diana. I can't prevent Emira and her mother from coming into our lives because they've been among us for a long time.

I need to become stronger, not just healing magic but I also need to be stronger to be able to protect Mother and Diana.

That's all I can do now.

I quickly got up and got out of bed. With my little legs now, I immediately ran towards the Emperor's room. And not having to take a long time, I had already reached the Emperor's room with breathless breath and the two Soldiers guarding the door of the room came to me.

"What's the matter Princess Viviane? Do you want to meet His Majesty the Emperor?" Ask one of the soldiers.

Well... Considering that I used to be just attached to the Emperor, of course, they do not feel strange anymore in my attitude.

I nodded with certainty, "Yes! Please open!"

The soldier just smiled and then along with his friend opened the door that now looks so big in my eyes, "Alright. Please come in, Princess"

I nodded and thanked them. And when I entered, I saw Mother sitting on the sofa in the Emperor's room while the Emperor himself was at his desk. The thing that caught my attention was the presence of the woman next to the Emperor who was pouring him a cup of tea.

I grinned in my heart, of course I know who that woman is. He was the chief servant who was also a friend of the Emperor's childhood, he was also the Emperor's mistress all along and they were related behind my mother, she was Kayla Leadra Corason. The daughter of Baron Corason who chose to work as a palace servant followed in his mother's footsteps.

Indeed in this palace, most came from among the low-level nobles like the other Baron families. Diana is also from the Viscout family.

I used to feel used to seeing their closeness, but now I feel disgusted when I see them both. Those who are shameless still behave like Master and Master in front of Mother and then cheat behind her. So disgusting! I'm not actually one room with both of them. But how else, I have to do it for my plan to protect Mother and Diana in the future. I have to hold back.

"Vivi?!" My mother and the Emperor were shocked to see my arrival.

"Mother!!!!" I cried as I ran up to Mom and hugged her tightly.

"What's Vivi? Shouldn't you be resting in the room?" Ask Mom confused.

I shook my head, "No! I had another nightmare and then I woke up and came here!"

The Emperor then approached us who were sitting on the sofa, "What kind of nightmare is Vivi?"

I was actually lazy to answer the question of this jerk who dared to betray this mother, I was even ashamed of being the son of that kind of man. But how else, we can not choose which parents will give birth to us, right? And I am also grateful to be the son of a strong woman who still raises her head respectfully when various reproaches about her are the subject of conversation among noble women because they cannot keep her husband.

Well, this is certainly not Mom's fault, this affair was done with the woman consciously so Mother was innocent of this because the Emperor could very well hide the disgrace for many years.

I put a sad face in front of him,

"I dreamed there were two very evil and disgusting monsters that ate Mom and Diana, after which they kidnapped Father, Brother Castor, Brother Helios was with Brother Blaze and left me alone in the middle of the palace which was burning with a burning fire which also burned me!"

Both Father, Emperor and Lady were stunned by my words. But Mom forced herself to smile, "It's okay Vivi... It was just a nightmare. Just sleeping flowers, it's okay... Vivi..."

Mother then hugged me tightly, I could feel her shoulders trembling.

I then glanced at the Emperor who turned his face the other way and the Woman did the same, but when looked more closely again a very thin grin on her lips.

Got you! Not only him but I also managed to lure mother and also the Emperor. That woman must be feeling very happy and victorious now knowing that her daughter will later become the only Princess in this Empire.

Because by telling me this dream, they know that I am the girl who will be the next Sun God offering.
