87 Twenty-three years ago

It is the story of a time when Lady Salvia was just Salvia and was eighteen years old and Prince Janus at that time was twenty-one years old.

Not once had their paths crossed till then.

Prince Janus was an adventurer. Since young, he had no interest in politics or the throne, so he always used to stay away from home, exploring the world and unearthing secrets.

On the other hand, there was Salvia, who was the opposite of Prince Janus. She was said to be the most beautiful woman on the entire continent. She was always surrounded by people who adored her and proposed to her. But unfortunately, her eyes were fixed on the only man of her kingdom and the position it will bring to her. And that man was Prince Antonio.

He was an alpha and was already declared as a Crown Prince of Coral Bells.

Salvia used to always daydream about becoming the Crown Princess or the Queen of the nation, so does her family.

Her family had high hopes for her and they were determined to do anything to make Salvia the queen of the nation.

But unfortunately, Crown Prince Antonio fell in love with the only daughter of the General of the Coral Bells and married her.

This news scattered Salvia's dreams and nearly broke her heart. Unknowingly, she had fell in love with Antonio.

Her family lost all hopes too.

Heartbroken, Salvia one day visited a bar and got drunk. At that time she had a one-night stand with a man and became pregnant. She was distraught. She wanted to abort the baby, but aborting the baby would kill her, hence she kept it.

When her family got the news of it, they kicked Salvia out of their house. She was all alone. Later, she gave birth to a baby girl, and leaving the girl outside, she went to her home.

On the other side, Crown Prince Antonio was already married and was blessed with two twins. Both of them were males and were alphas.

********************

Prince Janus who was outside, adventuring and exploring the world met a female of a different race. She was a hybrid and was in hiding. Her mother was an elf and her father was a Vampire. Both sides were at war at that time and had kicked her out from both clans.

Yong Prince Janus instantly fell in love with the hybrid beauty. He married her outside and brought her with him to Coral Bells, unknown to the news that his family had already engaged him with Salvia.

Salvia was not comfortable with the news. One, Prince Janus was an Omega. Second, she can never love him, being with him, she will never get the powers that she deserved. But she agreed to the marriage proposal thinking that someday in the future she will get the chance to become a Queen or someday her son will rule the Coral Bells.

But she got another shock when she saw a hybrid beauty along with Prince Janus.

To save his only child, Prince Janus agreed and soon the hybrid beauty died and Alyssa was born.

**************

"I said you are not my child. You were never mine to begin with."

"What do you mean I was not your child? You gave birth to me?" Alyssa was dumbfounded at this news.

Salvia started laughing at her question. Her laugh was maniacal.

"You were never my child. You are an abomination that I had to carry." Salvia said shocking everybody.

The tears that had accumulated in Alyssa's eyes started falling. Her lips quivered in pain.

"Why are you saying this?" Alyssa whispered. She couldn't understand what wrong she had done that her mother will deny giving birth to her.

"You were never mine to begin with. You were a child of an abomination who was abandoned by every clan present in the Coral Bells. You are the daughter of Prince Janus and that bi*ch." Salvia screamed at her.

"I hated your mother so much. You were a constant reminder of her. Not only she had become the most beautiful woman on the continent, she even married Janus, who I was engaged to. She destroyed my life."

Alyssa remained silent.

Her whole world has turned upside down.

"So Violet is your real daughter?" Alyssa questioned. Her question was more like a statement.

"Yes, she is my real daughter," Salvia answered. It stunned Violet. For the first time in her life, emotions other than anger and jealousy flashed across her eyes. She didn't know whether to be happy or to be sad. Whether to smile at this news or feel cheated.

"Who is her father?" Alyssa questioned. This was the question that Violet had wanted to ask too.

"That's none of your business." Salvia roared making Violet flinch a little.

She couldn't understand how her own mother would have kept this secret from her for the whole time. She was mocked behind her back by other royal children for having no family when she was with her mother the whole time.

Salvia looked at Violet and said, "She is my daughter and no one else is required in her life."

This statement pierced Violet's heart. She knew that Salvia had never planned to tell her about her real identity. It was because of Alyssa that today she is willing to disclose so much information.

"I would be a fool to believe that a power-hungry bi*ch like you is willing to love Violet just because she is your own flesh and blood. If you have loved her so much, you wouldn't have abandoned her in the first place." Alyssa stated. Her voice was calm. She had known Salvia closely to know about her character clearly. She even suspects that the death of her real mother is because of her. She knew what Salvia is capable of and to what length she will go to achieve her dreams.
