(I'll put mc in first person view so we can understand her more but it'd mostly be in 3rd POV for everything else. And this chapter is at the castle private prison. This is still same story but this is important since none of the otome characters or capture targets even know this.)

"I'm glad I became blind." (Lena)

"Your cursing me aren't you." (Colette)

"Because I was imprisoned as soon as we reached the castle yet you my maid impersonates me to become Queen! You imprison me here for my whole life, because of your twisted love towards that king. He who destroyed my father and our kingdom." (Lena)

"As if you still had pride, be glad your still alive because I need your blood to do the spell so I'd look exactly like you." (Colette)

"You're insane." (Lena)

"At least you won't see me taking your blood out." (Colette)

"Rather I'm happy I'm now blind. I can no longer see my so called good sister I used to treat as such. She has long betrayed me for a foreign king. Helped him establish a kingdom and fight so justly for the throne while I am imprisoned for life by her." (Lena)

"Truly, aren't you happy princess Lena for helping me your best friend." (Colette)

"I'd rather die that help a traitor." (Lena)

Her long blond hair was in a mess, it was no longer straight but Lena didn't care since she had been imprisoned for so long.

"Now I can't have you dying I need you for this appearance spell because your blood is needed. By the way it's been 30 years now." (Colette)

"I can't even die if I wanted to." (Lena)

"Of course not! Your the thing I need to keep appearances." (Colette)

Colette left after her talk with Lena, she walked into the sunlight.

"Can't you tell her she's doomed." (Albert)

"You as a royal guard actually say that. But then again you're my contracted spirit before that yet she doesn't even know." (Lena)

"I'm a shadow element spirit so it's fine but she's so damn lax." (Albert)

"Me allowing others to see you is a good thing for her to think she has a upper hand." (Lena)

"But my lady your eyes." (Albert)

"A small price to pay for a 'just' ruling king that hides his darkness from the world." (Lena)

"This....I'm sorry for letting my lady suffer so much. Because we were unguarded towards Colette." (Albert)

"Let King Simon have his fun until the day we do our revenge on that day his kingdom will be in ruins." (Lena)

(The king they mentioned is the very king that Rachel's father serves under.)

----------------------------------------

"For so long it has appeared! The child is finally born." (Bernard)

"So sister plans to hide her child from the prophecy." (Irene) (the goddess of darkness)

"I can't say much all I know is she's in the mortal world." (Eleth)

"Eleth your the god of Fates yet you can't even see the child." (Irene)

"No only the goddess of prophecy Svelte can see into the future and the changes. I only know about their fates or when they died." (Eleth)

"Yet stupid Seven freaking went into hiding." (Irene).

(The goddesses of prophecy is Seven but they sometimes called her Svelte because her city created to honor her is also called that.)

"Reality is so damn harsh." (Bernard)

"Dying isn't in her wish list, she's just hiding from my prying eyes in the mortal world." (Irene)

----------------------------------------

Colette stared at the tanned royal guard holding a spear on the training ground. His dark black hair has always bothered her along with his dark skin, but she couldn't put her finger on it. It might just her being paranoid due to him serving Lena for so long. She didn't approach him carelessly either because he'd give her away since he's been with Lena since she was a child. Her mannerisms and speech would be a dead give away so she sighed as she hurried along the hall to see the king.

 She was surprised to see Edward standing next to the red haired king discussing against a war with another country. 

"Your majesty this isn't like you! Where is the peace loving prince I once knew. The wise king I once knew wouldn't invade his favorite cousin's home land." (Edward) 

"Then you the Flaming Ghost General is under house arrest and won't participate against them. They started this first." (Simon) 

"But my king." (Edward) 

His words didn't finish because the king had asked his guards to drag the general away without another word. Colette stood stiff at the scene of the king dragging away his childhood friend because he sided with the king's younger cousin. 

 "Your highness must you war against her kingdom. She had just married two years ago and she is born in that kingdom neighboring us must we pressure them." (Colette) 

"We must they invaded first with no prior warning." (Edward) 

She didn't say anything more because she saw the same gleam that he got when he first caught sight of Lena. Meaning war was just a excuse someone had caught his attention.
