The Prince's Revenge
24: The hatred

The air in the morning blew with a cool breeze. The road looks wet because of the rain that flushed in the early hours of this day.

A man stood alone by the window of his room, looking at the bustle of the city filled with cars and motorcycles, while pensively thinking of the girl who rejected him the day before.

The girl was similar to her dead soulmate.

Physically they may be a little different. However, from his nature, his way of speaking, and the way he looked at himself, it was very similar. His eyes sparkling when talking about things he likes, his intelligence hidden behind his innocence.

In fact, how they bite their lips to refrain from hurting the man is very similar.

“Sorry, I like Egon..”.

A sentence he did not want to hear back after all these years.

He felt like he was experiencing de javu when Mysha said that she wanted to talk to him. Fortunately, he managed to hold back the words before they were thrown from the girl's mouth.

He was afraid that his destiny would always end the same, no matter how far he went, no matter how much he was reborn as someone else.

“Anastasia.. I have to how?” the man said he hoped for an answer he knew would not come.

His heart did feel guilty when he first approached Mysha just because she looked like Anastasia. His eyes sparkling when talking about what he likes, his intelligence hidden behind his innocence. He really likes that.

But, no matter when, he began to see Mysha as himself. Anastasia's shadow on her was almost gone. If only Mysha had not rejected him, perhaps the current Anastasia would have been completely wiped out of her mind.

When first recollections of Anastasia and herself as Prince Frederick returned, she was severely stressed. He locked himself in a room for days, looking for clues so he could return to his world to save people more precious than himself. Because, he was not sure, when Egon beheaded him, what he would do to his soulmate.

And the thing that makes him even more insane is...

he got his memories of his first and second life.

In other words, he remembered when Anastasia chose Egon in her first life because she had been in a relationship with Egon before her marriage was announced. Worse, she conceived and bore Egon's child.

Although he did not realize it at first, when Egon's beheading was about to be carried out, Anastasia admitted everything to Frederick. With tears in his eyes, he asked him to help Egon. Hearing that, Frederick was worried and slumped at the same time. He wants to help the girl he loves, on the other hand if he helps her, he will also lose the girl.

Before long, Egon was finally beheaded in front of his eyes without having time he tried harder to withdraw the punishment. He's salting. And it was then that Frederick's magic power rose for the first time.

His strength was so great that he managed to restore time to a few years back. Because of the magnitude of the power, he even lost a trace of magic power on his body in his second life.

At first, he felt he had lived his second life better. He broke off his engagement to the crown princess and began to approach Anastasia secretly, even before the outbreak began.

Anastasia, who was not much cared for by Duke Willyn, was finally forced to meet Egon in her room. The king told Frederick that they were both making love until the whole room echoed in his voice. Hearing that, Frederick began to regret thinking of saving Egon.

The plague came. Unfortunately, Princess Charlotte suffered the same fate even though Frederick and Egon have helped provide a lot of information. Only, the outbreak can be handled much faster than at that time.

Before long the plague disappeared, Egon suddenly volunteered as a royal delegate to go to another kingdom for several years. Seeing that as an opportunity, Frederick agreed to Egon's delivery. He approached Anastasia. She openly came to Duke Willyn's residence and asked him out at the palace.

Then Egon went home when they were near. He brought news that the country he had lived in for several years was going to declare war because of sedition by the royal confidants.

The war also began. He left Anastasia for months. As the war was about to end and he began to look forward to his reunion with Anastasia, Egon suddenly came to him.

"What are you gonna do?" Ask Egon at the time. Frederick who did not understand the purpose of Egon's question was silent.

"I'm sure you're not a stupid man. In a sense, you know that this war is the mastermind?" Egon.

"I'm going to take my revenge on Dad. And Anastasia chose to leave this world instead of getting involved with my business.."

"Where's Anastasia!? Killed him!?" His eyes and body trembled violently when he heard that Anastasia had chosen to die. As his grief took hold of his mind, Egon pulled out his sword.

"The answer?"

"Send me to Anastasia." in a whispering voice, she chose to go with Anastasia. He closed his eyes, and that was the last memory he kept. That was the beginning of why he always regretted his decision to save Egon so that it finally made Frederick hate Egon.

As long as he was in the room he always yelled at Egon and Anastasia. Desperation begins to eat away at him when he realizes that there is nothing more he can do in his new world than start a new life. At that moment, Anastasia came to her dream.

But his figure is very vague. It was as if an opaque glass stood in the way of the two of them. His lips seemed to be moving, as if he was trying to convey something. Unfortunately, there was not a word that Frederick understood. Realizing that, Anastasia finally fell silent resigned. And just smile at the end.

The next day, he woke up more sane. His encounter with Anastasia, which even felt very pseudo, made him realize that Anastasia was dead. He then began to gather his sanity to continue his new life as a new person without him.

From there he began to write about himself, Anastasia, with Egon as the main character. He wants to make Egon a favorite main character, then become a very hated person at the end of the story. That was all he could do to avenge Egon.

“Mysha.. Anastasia..open your eyes and look at the man you chose.”
