PRINCESS SOPHIA
Flashback

That night Marie, watching Sophia leave with Peter with a smile but when their shadow began to disappear swallowed by the hallway. His inner upheaval was reflected in the eyes that were emitting a hue of anxiety, his gaze lovable, brooding over the fact that maybe tonight would be his last night with the girl he had been nurturing for 17 years.

A bitter smile flashed across Marie's lips. The decision to let Sophia go was a difficult choice that felt like it was losing some of itself. However, Marie understood that the act was probably the greatest sacrifice she had ever made.

Finally the tears she held overflowed, honestly she did not want to part with the girl, who she already considered like her own daughter.

"Daughter, may your steps tonight lead you to a better life."His voice in prayer.

She was prepared to do anything to protect Sophia, even if it meant giving her life. Her mind floated at the moment when Marie first heard Sophia's gentle cry, it was a precious unforgettable thing. The small voice that filled the room seemed to thrill Marie, awakening her protective instincts. Without hesitation, he ran up to the little bed where the baby was, feeling that the sound was leading him to something he had never achieved. To have a child.

Seeing baby Sophia for the first time, an immeasurable smile on Marie's face. The little girl's eyes exuded intelligence and innocence that moved her heart.

Every step of Sophia's growth was a happiness for Marie. When Sophia first learned to walk, Marie's proud smile could not be hidden. Seeing the girl exploring her world with eyes full of curiosity, Marie was sure that Sophia's future would shine as bright as the sun.

"Good, Princess. Oh you're my little fairy." Marie's holding Sophia full of sweetie.

However, fate plays with Marie's feelings and expectations. The bright future was now filled with darkness, never to be stupefied in his mind even though Sophia would have a bitter destiny. He loved the girl like his own son,

Despite the obstacles and unexpected destiny approaching, Marie's love and devotion to Sophia remains a light in the dark, Marie vows to protect Sophia throughout her life, although the path had to be traversed with innumerable bitterness and tears.

As Marie pondered in her worry, Peter suddenly appeared in front of her cell. Marie's eyes sparkled happy to see it.

"Peter, you came to save me..."Speaks excited.

"Lady Marie's.."

However, before that happiness completely permeates Marie's heart, an unexpected event turns her into a nightmare.

In just an instant, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared in the prison hallway and violently struck Peter until he was unconscious.

"Peter! Help u! No, Peter's up!"Panicked screaming.

The moment was filled with uncertainty and panic. Marie, locked in iron bars, could only stare at the incident with a feeling of fear and helplessness.

The blow that robbed Peter of consciousness made Marie's heart beat faster. An unknown person drags Peter's helpless body away, leaving Marie in deepening darkness.

Marie was glued to her place, her eyes radiating despair. All his hopes were shattered in an instant. He again felt lost, Marie did not know what had happened to Peter, and the meeting with Sophia he so dreamed of seemed to float away.

After several hours of her interrogation over Sophia's disappearance, Marie found herself tied to a cold chair, a dim room, and the air was tense as Evelyn, with her eyes blazing with anger, felt like her, walking pacing.

"Marie's. Tell me where Sophia is!"His shouting.

Marie remained silent, her eyes looking straight ahead, without revealing any fear.

"I don't know where Sophia is."Marie answered without hesitation.

Evelyn threw marie on the floor, and soon a few bodyguards approached, ready to continue the interrogation with violence. He looked at Marie with an unstoppable fury."You'll regret not opening your mouth!" His mouth is full of anger.

Evelyn's patience was dwindling, and she signaled to the guards to deliver more torment. The room echoed with a painful sound from the old woman's scream.

"You think you can challenge me? You think you can protect her forever?" Oceh Evelyn did not stop.

Despite the pain, Marie remained firm, her lips clenched. He will not divulge anything about Sophia, even though he has to die tonight. The demon in front of him must be destroyed. Marie hoped that Sophia could return to bring the glory of the kingdom of Full Moon.

He was finally thrown back into his cold, damp cell. Full of bruises and battered, he grabbed the iron bars, his spirit remained intact.

"You'll all be sorry, I swear if you hurt Sophia, even if I die later, I'll come back for revenge!" The groaning in the midst of pain.

It didn't take long for the dark morning to arrive, and Lady Marie felt a cold air infiltrate her entire body. His prayers were unceasingly uttered with deep tremors, as if hoping that a miracle would come down and save him from a menacing fate. His feet trembled violently every step he took towards the execution ladder.

Stairs that feel increasingly long, such as the path to immortality or destruction. Fear gripped his heart, but in the midst of that nervousness, he made sure of himself that this was the right choice. For him, dying by defending the truth is better than living in cheating and injustice.

Arriving at the place of execution, the crowd had already gathered, judging her as a criminal, Marie could feel their sharp eyes waiting for her life to be immediately taken away. The executioner with a sword in his hand was ready beside him. His mind was no longer in that moment.

Evelyn, with her arrogance, announced.

"My beloved people see that this is a punishment for anyone who dares to try to kill the king."

The cheers below indicate they are impatient, waiting for their execution.

"Life King! Death Traitors!" There the cheers sounded.

But Marie's hearing seemed closed, she filled herself with prayer, she knew injustice would sooner or later be destroyed. All the truth will be revealed soon.

By the time the execution began, Marie's final image was of a baby Sophia, holding her finger gently. Amidst the pain and darkness, he tries to find peace in his loving memory.

The executioner moves, ending Lady Marie's life with one slash. Her last sight was Sophia's face in the crowd, but the loss of consciousness made her unable to understand anything else going on around her.

Darkened. Everything's dark.
