(Lunavia pov)
It has been three years since I made my appearance into society it was the best three years of my existence,I was free from the cage of a life my father offered me.He disowned me after the event of the ball I just couldn't care less I knew it would come to this one day I am just glad I had prepared ahead of time although people did show their discomfort when they interacted with me I wasn't angry in the slightest way it was already used to me.I moved out of my father mansion and bought a simple two bedroom cottage life was going smoothly I wasn't regarded as a Duchess Hastings I was addressed as lady jinx ,my literary works was able to tend for all my needs I wasn't in the shadow of my father.When I was much younger I had this mentality of needing my father approval for everything I thought only his thoughts mattered Looking back at my younger years I realised so much my father didn't love neither did he take care of me cause it was my mother's dying wish he did it cause he was afraid of tarnishing his image as a man of nobility he cared about his reputation more than his children.
I had never really needed him he was never worthy to be called a father perhaps many years in the battlefield has turned him into an emotionless being I wondered how life would have been if he was a nice person who knows maybe I would have been married to a rich man or I wouldn't had faced the stigmatisation I faced,the only regret I had in this life was not seeing my mother even a portrait would have been nice.Father burnt every belongings my mother ever possessed he believed a fable that claimed burning the properties of your loved one will erase their memories from your head maybe it worked judging from his attitude, when I became lady jinx I learnt from my fellow nobles that in banquets or social events he talked well of me most people sworn they believed he loved me "Lunavia is my dearest child"he said one day at a banquet.who knows maybe he loved me or just pretended to anyway I didn't believe his words I have known him to be a man whose life was based on lies these days we hardly talked only when we saw each other at social events our relationship wasn't going to get any better we both knew this so none of us made efforts to salvage the situation,he had about twenty children so losing the one he never cared for wasn't a big deal beside I had a mother's who treated me right.Lady Dian a widow with no children or heir ,we met at my coming of age ceremony she took a special liking to me she loved the way I looked for the first time someone truly appreciated my beauty with honesty.It wasn't just about the way she looked at me they way she talked and took care of made me feel something I couldn't seem to wrap my fingers around this new emotion at last I had the mother and freedom I longed for the only thing that seem to be missing was a husband, as a young lady matter how rich you are you will be bullied by your fellow nobles.I had long lost hope of getting married although tons men admired me they withdrew at the last moment when everything seemed to be going well their families often told them I was an evil spirit in the body of a human,it was quite understandable the events that happened at my birth accompanied with my looks could make anyone withdrew their affection.
I remembered the first time I fell in Love it was with the Prince of a neighbouring country,he was related to the royal family of valkan so he was present at my coming of age ceremony.he was drawn to my beauty like a moth to a flame I knew perfectly well that it would be a waste of time and I would end up alone again but I was intrigued to be loved by someone,he quickly proposed to me after some time of courting he didn't care what people said about me he loved me to the extreme but most times fate was cruel.The royal family of valkan (my kingdom)objected to the marriage so did his country,if he married me he was going to lose his position as crown Prince,he was also going to be beheaded for committing treason every one assumed I was cursed.We tried every means possible to salvage the situation but it was futile I was heartbroken feelings was a mess ,my betrothed lameul was ready to take the risk he planned to run away with me but I knew better.Loving someone was putting them before yourself I didn't want him to lose his birth right or freedom because of me I want him to live a happy and luxurious life so I did what I needed to do I ended our engagement and set him free,it left me in total pain but it was for the best after that experience love became a thing of the past for me .
Tonight was the new moon festival every one was at the town Square celebrating the joyous occasion,the new moon festival was widely celebrated most people came to take part in the celebration.I came to the festival it was my favourite festival of the year I had a weird likeness for the moon the way it shone brightly in the dark reinekindled my will to see life in another perspective,the town Square was filled to the brim bustling with life most people were sitted at one place or another listening to tales of the gods I joined the crowd it was my favourite part of the festival.The stories were just so intriguing it always caught my attention,I was deeply engrossed in the tales I was listening to when I suddenly started feeling wired.My chest tighten to the extent I couldn't breathe I laid on the floor gasping for air soon all attention was on me ,my hair and eyes started glowing brightly shimmering like silver I soon lost consciousness from lack of air
