The Unwanted Princess

When Ivery entered Anastasia's room she was delighted to see how cute it was, there were several stuffed animals around and her room was colored with a pastel purple color, and her floor was pure white carpet. Her bed was a lilac-colored canopy.

Ivery sat at a small four seater table on the balcony with Anastasia sitting on the opposite side.

"Princess Inanna..." Anastasia looked seriously at Ivery

"Yes..?" Ivery was slightly shocked by the sudden serious expression on Anastasia's face

"Please breakup with my brother." Anastasia bluntly said

"What?" Ivery's shock dramatically increased

"End your relationship with him, cut ties, never see him again." Anastasia figured Ivery didn't understand her

"Why?" Ivery asked, not knowing why she was being told to do something ridiculous

"You've been lucky these past four years, but my brother is like an enormous bomb wanting someone to light him, your safety is never going to be guaranteed." Anastasia elaborated

"But-" Ivery had to explain to her that Luther had two completely different sides

"I know what you're going to say, he's nice to you and he's never done anything to hurt you." Anastasia interrupted Ivery

"I've known him for sixteen years, there's not a gentle bone in his body....calling him a demon or a monster would be an understatement, no resident in this castle dares to step foot in his part of the castle, all of my other siblings and I are petrified by his name alone..." Anastasia said adamantly

"If you don't cancel your engagement soon, you won't last a year as his wife..." Anastasia told Ivery

"You heard about what happened to his other fiances, he killed every single one of them in cold blood! He's a cold-hearted killer that has even murdered his own siblings! You mustn't end up as they all did, so I beg you to leave while you still can..." Anastasia teared

"I'm going to have to stop you there princess..." Ivery held her hand up

"I understand your worries and I appreciate your concern but I refuse to leave him, no matter how stupid people may think I am for loving him." Ivery stood up from her seat

"Huh..." Anastasia was taken aback

"I'm completely aware of who Luther is and what he's done in the past, so even though you've known him longer than I have, his and my relationship is entirely different from his and your relationship, so I know things about him that you don't and probably might never know." Ivery stated

"And you say all of these things about him but have you ever held an actual conversation with him before?" Ivery asked as she narrowed her eyes

"N-Not really.." Anastasia was always too scared to even look Luther in the eyes, let alone try to make conversation with him

"Unlike you, I've had a lot of personal time with Luther to be able to decide if he's good for me or not, I don't need outside interference for something I'm capable of deciding for myself, if your brother wanted me dead then he wouldn't have proposed to me four years ago." Ivery felt extremely irritated hearing the words 'breakup', as if she'd ever do that

"H-He proposed to you?!" Anastasia jumped out of her chair, knocking it down in the process, her eyes were wide open with shock

"Yes." Ivery nodded

"I-Impossible...he'd never.." Anastasia was still in shock, she couldn't believe that Luther out of all of her brothers would propose, she thought Inanna's and Luther's engagement was completely arranged without their consent

"Believe it or not, that's what happened." Ivery sighed, not expecting such a dramatic reaction

"And maybe this will help ease your mind about our relationship.." Ivery said

"I'm the crown princess of the Lilith empire, I'm also an infinite attribute holder just like Luther making me his equal, our marriage is too beneficial for both of our empires to annul, even if he wanted to, your brother couldn't kill me...not only would it anger my parents and my empire, it would also anger the god that favors me." Ivery explained

"It would also cause our fathers to become enemies, and it would be a tragedy for two good friends to have to go to war because of their children." Ivery said all of this to Anastasia not intending to inform her that even if she were to be killed, she'd be revived by Hecate as long as her soul was intact

Knowing Luther would never harm her, but solely as a thought, if that were to ever happen then Luther would indefinitely become an enemy of hers, for betraying her so cruelly and breaking her heart that she gave to him entirely....that would be something that she'd never forgive, her anger and hatred would last for an eternity.

She'd declare war against Fresia herself, but a real battle between two infinite attribute holders who were once lovers would be catastrophic. She would probably lose in a fight between them since Luther was basically immortal in a sense now.

But she could possibly achieve immortality herself if she could master her new and unstable magic.

"You really love him?" Anastasia asked

"I absolutely do." Ivery instantly answered

"Then there's nothing that I can say anymore.." Anastasia sighed

"You may trust my brother, but I never will...he could have a devious reason for keeping you so closely by his side and pretending as if he loves you, because my brother is a brilliant actor.." Anastasia said, still refusing to approve of their relationship

"No, I'd know the eyes of someone who's acting and lying....I spent most of my life with people like that...so I can confidently say that Luther has never looked at me that way, he's as genuine as genuine gets." Ivery felt like they weren't going to see eye to eye on this

"If that was all you wanted, I think it would be best if I took my leave." Ivery politely curtsied to Anastasia and walked off

"Please don't tell my brother about this! He'd kill me!" Anastasia cried

"Don't worry, I know that..." Ivery sighed

"Rest assured, this will stay between us, but please don't bring it up again." Ivery coldly glared at Anastasia before exiting the room

"...." Anastasia felt a chill travel across her skin...

"As expected of the woman who managed to seduce my hellish brother..." Anastasia dropped to her knees and began to slightly shiver
