"BROTHER, am I finally going to enter the society on my upcoming 15th birthday?" Elaine asked Auro Moonchester, her older brother and the new ruler of their kingdom. Her brother ascended the throne when their father died. "I want to be free from this tower."

Even though she was a princess, only a few had seen her face yet.

Her brother was too protective of her that he didn't allow her to leave the tower. Still, he took good care of her. All her servants were capable and good to her, even her teachers. She learned the proper etiquette of a royal princess like her.

Yet, she felt sad that she couldn't show it to their people.

"I know that I'm born with a weak body, Brother," she said with a pout. "But attending social banquets won't kill me."

Auro, who stood in front of her as she sat on the edge of her bed, smiled at her. Then, he got down on one knee and held her hands. "Elaine, you are precious to me."

She smiled and nodded. "I know that, Brother."

"There's a reason why I've kept you hidden in this tower for so long," he said with a sad smile on his face. Then, he gently caressed her cheek. "I'm sorry, Elaine."

"You don't have to apologize, Brother," she said while shaking her head. Then, she put her hand on top of his. "I know that you're only doing this to protect me."

"No, I'm sorry because in my heart, there's only one sibling that I acknowledge," his brother said, confusing her. "Elaine, do you remember our older brother? The one who used to be locked up in this tower before I set him free. You weren't born yet when he left the family. But I used to talk about him in the past, didn't I?"

Even though she was confused, she still responded to her brother. After all, she trusted him with all her life. He was the only person in the palace that she felt safe with the most. "Yes, Brother," she said. "If I remember it correctly, our oldest brother is called Kalel Moonchester."

"He goes by the name of Kalel Nystrom now."

"Have you found him, Brother?"

"We never lost contact, Elaine," he said. "But right now, your big brothers are having a huge fight."

"Why are you fighting with our oldest brother?"

"It doesn't matter, my poor little sister," her brother said while caressing her cheek. "You don't need to know."

"You're saying strange things, Brother."

He smiled at her the kind of smile that gave her a bad feeling. "Elaine, do you love me?"

"I do, Brother."

"Then, will you die for me?"

She was surprised by that question. And to be frank, her brother's tone also scared her. He was serious, and she knew that he wasn't really waiting for an answer.

After all, her Brother Auro just stabber her chest with his hand.

Not only did he stab her. He also ripped her heart out, his face cold and unapologetic. This was the first time her brother looked at her with such disdain.

He used to smile warmly at me

"You're still alive?" Auro asked in a disappointed voice. Then, he stood up and looked at her with empty eyes. "I suppose it's the Moonchester blood in you."

"Why?" she asked in disbelief. For some reason, she couldn't feel the physical pain that her brother inflicted on her. The only pain that she could feel was the one she got from getting betrayed by the person she trusted the most. "Why are you doing this to me, Brother?"

"I found someone who deserves your position more," he said coldly, her heart still literally in his hand. "You have to die so I could bring her to my side."

Was it because she was nave or her brother just didn't really make sense?

She couldn't understand why she had to die for him to bring a woman to the palace. Ah, he did say something about his woman taking her place as a princess. She had a lot of questions but judging by her fading life force, she knew that she wouldn't have enough time to listen to her brother's response.

Not that she was certain that he would give her the answers that she needed.

"Are you just going to silently accept your fate?" her brother asked her mockingly. "This is why you bore me to death, Elaine."

"Brother, I'm angry," she admitted with clenched hands. "But I know that being angry now wouldn't keep me alive."

"Good," he said, then he squeezed her heart in his hand until it became nothing but a pool of blood. "Just die quietly like how you lived in this tower for fifteen years."

"Brother, let me ask you one question before I die: what is it that you desire that you have to kill your own sister for it?"

"I want to rule an empire," he said without missing a beat. "And open the gates to the heavens to become a god. If I have to summarize it for you, then I'd say I want to be worshipped both by humans and the gods themselves." He pulled out a white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood off his hands. "I didn't expect you to ask that instead of why I had to keep you alive for this long."

"I have to know what you desire so that I'd be able to steal it from you once we meet again, Brother."

He laughed at her. "You? Steal my dream from me? You don't even know if you're going to get reborn into the same lifetime as me, my foolish sister."

"You don't know why my physical body is weak, do you?"

Finally, the arrogant look on Auro's face vanished. "What do you mean by that?"

"You must have underestimated me a lot because you didn't even bother to know what my Mana is," Elaine said with a bitter smile. Then, her body finally gave in. Before she knew it, she was already lying on her back while staring at the ceiling. She was glad that even until that moment, she still couldn't feel any physical pain. Most of all, she was proud of herself for being able to hold back her tears. All she felt was exhaustion, so she closed her eyes and whispered her final words. "See you later, Brother Auro."

ELAINE, after a long time, was finally reborn as Stella a witch from hthe Colorless Coven.

She lived her life without the memories of her past life though.

As Stella, she felt drawn to Aku and Nia Moonchester that when she and her sister Luna was taken in by Lahara, she followed the knight-mage. To be precise, she became a loyal follower to Nia Moonchester. When the royal princess asked her to create a medicine that would make her infertile, she successfully made one.

But instead of owing her a favor, the ungrateful royal princess asked Lahara to kill her.

She was caught off-guard by the mage and she managed to hit her heart severely. Lahara left her in the hands of the Royal Archmage Rosalia when she was half-dead. She heard that the Royal Archmage was interested in her pink eyes.

When she was in the brink of death, that was when the memories of her previous life as Elaine Moonchester.

"How dare you?" Elaine snarled at Rosalia who looked surprised when she suddenly got revived. Then, she got up from the table where the Royal Archmage placed her body for dissection. "How dare you try to touch a Moonchester's body?"

Rosalia looked surprised by her words. "Have you gone mad, Stella? I heard from Lahara that you seem to be obsessed with His Majesty. But to think that you'd go delusional and make yourself believe that you're a Moonchester"

The Royal Archmage trailed-off when her physical appearance began to turn back into what it was in the past.

That meant her burgundy hair turned silver and her pink eyes turned glowing red.

Those were the traits unique to the Moonchesters traits that couldn't be copied even by the strongest mage of all.

"How did this happen?" Rosalia asked in disbelief. "How could there be another princess aside from Princess Nia?"

"That one is a fake," she said coldly. "Rosalia, I will overthrow that fake princess soon. You better choose which side to take wisely."

The Royal Archmage smirked at her. "I don't understand what's going on but aren't you being too arrogant? Let's say that you're a real Moonchester. But so what? You don't have the power that Princess Nia possess. After all, she's the one who is loved by His Majesty."

"Would it matter if the royal princess couldn't bear a child for the emperor?"

The mage looked shocked by her revelation.

"Nia Moonchester is infertile," she said coldly. "Once the people find out about her infertility, she'd be ousted. Not even the emperor could protect the royal princess if he wants to stay in power."

The Royal Archmage paled. "That's true."

"I can give birth to the emperor's child, Rosalia," she said in a confident voice. "If you help me become the empress, I will give you want you want."

"Do you know what I desire the most in the world?"

"I've been in the tower long enough to know what your goal is," she said with a smirk. "You want to experiment on the Fire Mages, don't you?"

The Royal Archmage's eyes sparkled in delight.

"The Supreme Fire Mage happens to be my sister-in-law," Elaine said with a sweet smile. "Would you like to work with me now, Royal Archmage Rosalia? Technically, you wouldn't betray the royal family because I am a Moonchester and I am the one who could give an heir to His Majesty."

Rosalia, after a few moments of silence, bowed down to her. "I am here to serve you, Your Royal Highness."

***

JUST when Elaine thought she'd succeeded when Rosalia finally introduced him to Aku Moonchester, she found herself in another dilemma.

Her bastard of a brother brought her to the Moon God. And then, the stupid god forced her to become the new host of Yumi, the White Snake. Apparently, Yumi was the spirit guardian of Kalel, now Kiho Nystrom, who happened to be her oldest brother.

When she woke up, she found herself in an empty shrine where Elis Ripperton, the new captain of the Blue Dragon Knights, was guarding her.

"You're finally awake," Elis Ripperton, who was literally looking down at her, said while watching her with amusement in his eyes. "I was told that you are a witch named Stella. But when I thought you were going to die a while ago, your appearance change. You aura, too." He tilted his head at one side. "You're a Moonchester, aren't you? If I remember it correctly, Aku Moonchester killed her sister in the past when he was still King Auro. Are you that princess?"

She wasn't surprised by that.

Every time she was in the brink of death, her aura and power as a Moonchester would awaken to protect her. She was glad that it didn't manifest when she was with Luna in the past. Her sister in that lifetime was quick to catch on. That was why she was relieved that she didn't retrieve the memories of her life as a princess when they were still together.

"If you know who I am, then pay some respect," Elaine said, then she stood up and clutched her chest. Like before, she still couldn't feel physical pain. But she was uncomfortable now that a sleeping spirit was residing in her body. "You're the Blue Dragon, aren't you?"

"If you know who I am, then you better pay me some respect."

She laughed softly at how he threw her words back at her. "Would you like to work with me, Elis Ripperton?"

He crossed his arms over his chest. "And why would I cooperate with a puny human like you? Working with one Moonchester is enough."

"The Supreme is my sister-in-law," she said with a smile. "You're in love with her, aren't you?"

"For someone who's supposed to be dead a long time ago, you quite know a lot."

"It's my cursed power," Elaine said solemnly. "I learn things even if I don't want to."

"Interesting," Elis Ripperton said. "Tell me more about it, Elaine Moonchester."
