A Life Of Sacrifice, A Death Of Love

Synopsis

I was the Grand Princess of Galdoria, and the most infamous madwoman in all of Alderoth. I fell in love with my elder brother, Julian Shepherd, the reigning King. For years, I'd meddled in politics, abused my power, and made a spectacle of myself in every possible way. I'd been called many ugly names and carried the weight of vicious rumors. On the night of Julian's wedding, no one was surprised when I showed up in his bedroom, wearing a gown more extravagant than the queen's and carrying a bottle of wine. Julian saw me sitting on their bed, his expression extremely cold. "Tiffany, you're going too far." I knew he always saw me as a wicked woman. After all, I threw away dignity and decency to have him. However, that night, I simply smiled and poured him a drink. "Drink this, and we'll leave each other alone for good." He drank it. As always, he looked at me with nothing but contempt, certain I was throwing another tantrum. What he didn't know was that I had already poisoned my own drink. I'd been tired for a lifetime, and tonight, I finally decided to stop loving him.
