How She Can Be Loved
Chapter 1: Three Days of Sailing

Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Goddamnit!!

The night was much colder than usual. Although the fire continues to devour the magnificent house, it still feels cold for people who still live in it. The fire continues to burn. No matter the red puddles on the floor.Continue devouring everything in front of him.

Laril!

    Run away!!

    Live, daughter!

The man asked his only daughter to run away from the furious danger that stood right before them.

He was injured, making his body as a shield for his favorite child. The throne he had always been proud of, the house that had always been his place to spend time with his beloved daughter, the servants and soldiers who were so loyal to him, all vanished. Crushed. Destroyed is already his family history that has been built hundreds of years. All destroyed by his own actions. Or rather due to the selfishness of the princess just the wayangnya.

His daughter, Kananga, she's power crazy. He always wanted to be above everyone else. If they can, then I'm much more capable. Living with such ambition, she managed to make herself a concubine of the King when she was 17 years old. Of course there was a lot of controversy when the King announced their marriage. How not, Kananga is even 3 years younger compared to the Crown Prince. But too late, the King had already made up his mind. I don't know what made the King fall into the arms of that greedy woman. He was absolutely infatuated with his young concubine. He loved her even more than the Queen who had given him the throne.

Beloved by the King; a life of luxury in the Palace; clothes, jewelry, and various luxury properties that the King has given. It was certainly not enough for a greedy woman like Kananga. There are still three people who have a higher position than themselves in the Kingdom today. Her status as a concubine has not been able to satisfy her ambitions. The position of the Crown Prince was too strong for him to get rid of. So this time, it was the position of the Queen that she was after. Busy planning his plan to remove the Queen, a news from the royal diviner reaches his ears.

The King's concubine is destined to become the true leader of the Kingdom!

Kananga learns that the prophecy came home to her father to bring her the happiest news. The entire luxurious residence was excited to hear it. His father, who was very affectionate with him, immediately devised a plan to stage a coup, deposing the King and eliminating his successor. Honestly speaking, as one of the most honorable and strongest dukes in the kingdom, it was not difficult for the man to stage a coup attack.

All plans went well. One by one the plan was executed very well. Even Kananga managed to eliminate the King with poison without making himself suspected. Kananga successfully throws her responsibility for the death of the royal leader to the Queen. The Queen was executed a few days later after the King's funeral. Once paddled, two three islands he managed to surpass. Now, empty is the leadership of the kingdom. Now it's just about eliminating the Crown Prince.

Too bad, the Crown Prince is not someone they can easily handle. His father had to mobilize all his troops, civil war was inevitable. The kingdom was divided into two camps, the Duke's faction, containing the people and the higher-ups of the kingdom who believed in the royal prophecy; and the Crown Prince's faction of the royal leader should be the direct descendant of the Founder. But this time, luck was not on their side. Destroyed all the plans he had laid out. The Duke was even pressed to make his luxurious residence his last bastion. All this is just for her daughter. He would do anything for his daughter. However, his love is too excessive, making his purt grow as a selfish person, do not care about anyone. Even his own father. Just look, without a doubt the woman ran through the door leaving the room. Leaving his sprawling father dying on the floor, with a man ready to kill him.

There was no regret at all in the eyes of the woman passing through dozens of cold bodies that a few hours ago still greeted her warmly. In fact, it does not stop cursing those who do not want to eliminate one man. His father did not escape the curse that he could not say from his mouth because he was busy saving himself. His breathing was wheezing through the deserted passageway. His footsteps constantly echoed, as if signaling he was the only human still breathing in the house. He continued to run relentlessly toward the hidden exit, which the founder of the house provided if only his successor experienced the thing he is today. Massacres.

Not yet had time to enter the secret passage, a man confronted him. The woman's breath seemed to have stopped looking at the man's sword which was already covered in blood. “Now what else will you sacrifice? No one else can protect you. Even Duke Ishtarnia.” The man stared coldly, pointing the silver sword that had already turned red towards the woman.

“Your Highness.Your Majesty, Crown Prince. If you kill me now, you will only destroy this Karajaan.” The woman still does not know herself. He was aware of his condition being pinched. Giving up was only the only way out for him, but he still held his pride high. Like what his father always taught him. He still hoped that the Crown Prince would hand over the throne to him who now had nothing. He thought, only with his nonsense words could convince the Crown Prince.

“Do you feel absolutely no guilt about your father? Your obsession destroyed your father. Your father was once remembered as a hero, now will only be remembered and cursed as a traitor” The man did not drop his sword from before the mad woman in a single detail.

“Why?” The woman wondered why she should feel guilty for what had happened. To him, what he did was the most right thing.

“They deserved to die for me..Even Dad said he would die for me!! BECAUSE I AM THE ONE WHO DESERVES TO STAND ABOVE EVERYONE!! EVEN IF I HAVE TO SACRIFICE FATHER, I WILL FULFILL MY DESTINY!!!” from starting to lower his voice. The woman began to shout crazily, laughing heartily in light of her father's foolish promise to grant whatever he wanted. And look now, his father was just lying on the blood-soaked floor, without saving him who was now almost to his death.

“SIAL!! DAMNIT DAMNIT!! HOLY SHIT!! IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF DAD!! IT'S DAD'S FAULT!!” his laughter now changed with cries and shouts. Collapsing was already all the ego he was fighting for until a few seconds ago. He blames everything, blames his father, blames his soldiers and servants. Even blaming her fate should end tragically. He blamed everything, except himself. The crown prince could only remain silent. Didn't say anything. Just seeing that woman gradually destroyed her own mentality. Thinking of the death of a famous hero, Duke Ishtarnia, becomes a very tragic thing. Not to mention his famously selfish and greedy favorite daughter did not contemplate his death at all, and thought only of his obsession. Honestly, he felt sorry for the end of the hero's life.

“Thank you to your father and great-grandfather.” The crown prince who had seen Kananga's destruction so coldly, now began to lower his sword. “Because I remember their services, I will not give you a painful death.” His voice looked pityfully at the already destroyed Kananga. Grasping his sword even tighter once more.

“Hah?— ”Not been able to digest what the man said, the Crown Prince drew his sword on the mad woman's neck. Instantly stopped his crazy laughter that echoed in the hallway. She told me tears that had not yet been shed in her eyes. I don't know what those tears mean. A regret? The pain? Or maybe fear of death. I don't know.  That's obvious. Such is the end of life for a greedy and selfish woman, Kananga Ishtarnia.

***

“HAH!!”

Kananga woke up shocked. He found himself having nightmares once again. Three consecutive days on the voyage to Naiad City. The dream got worse and worse, even worse than the dreams he had in his school dorm days after coming home from the battlefield. After his meeting with the Crown Prince on the battlefield, he kept dreaming about the end of life “Kananga Ishtarnia”. The story of a greedy woman. One of the few series of short-lived (hooked story) fantasies he ever wrote for a magazine in his teens, before dying and being cursed to live life as the villainous character in one of his own story series. I don't know what caused him to be cursed, he himself doesn't understand.

No. gabe. He actually understood what his mistake was. Understand why the ancestors in the world cursed him. Busy to catch his breath still panting, the knocking sound of his cabin door sounded. “Little nobleman? Are you awake?” An 11-year-old waiter, sepantaran with his youngest sister, appeared from behind the door. It's Cella. Her hair color always reminded Kananga of the twilight sky. Initially, Kananga felt very disturbed by the call of the little Miss . All his father's servants and soldiers had never stopped calling him that since he first set foot in the Ishtarnia residence. Five years have passed, now Kananga considers the call as a proof of their affection and loyalty to her.

“Nothing, Cella.” Kananga smiled appreciating the sensitivity of the little girl. “Today it seems like the sea feels calmer. Oh, geez! My head still feels dizzy after last night's storm” Kananga tried to divert the conversation so as to quickly forget her nightmare. He still remembered the whole night his gaze felt like it was spinning, his dinner felt like a rebel wanted to get out of his throat. How could she dream so well when her condition was so bad?

“Of course, Miss. It's already the third day of the cruise.” Cella smiled broadly trying to ease her passionate enthusiasm, giving a hint of the good news that she had wanted to convey to her beloved little lady. “Do-not.” Kananga's eyes rounded guessing news from Cella. “Iya! Land,Miss! Soon we will arrive at the port!” with half a shout, Cella could not help her excitement. Kananga immediately changed her sleepwear that was soaked in sweat. With the help of Cella. Kananga rushed to run towards the main deck. Proving the news that Cella brought.

“Kana! Lookie!! Mainland!!” a beautiful girl shouted to Kananga. He had already earlier preceded Kananga standing on the main deck. He's Baine, Kananga's best friend who also took part in the voyage.  The three of them were very excited. Very much miss the family they left on the land to study on other land. It was a pleasure not to play, to the point that Baine jumped up and down and smiled as he looked at the land ahead of them. What a behavior that Baine would not show to others except to Kananga and her twin sister.

In just a few minutes, Kananga will be reunited with her father and two younger siblings. Missed the three people who have meant so much in her life over the past five years, since she became Kananga.
