Eleanor stared at the moon while humming a song, she had bandages on her hands and a red hand print on her left cheek. She couldn't sleep although she has been home for 3 days.

She finally got up and went to her bed before she slipped on a fabric on the floor, "Ouch--!"

she rubbed her chin and looked forward coincidentally finding a familiar object, "The compass..." she pulled it out from under her bed and laid down while staring at the compass, that still looked brand new.

"Compass...Please..give me an answer on why the king did that..was it really because i was a..threat?" She whispered, tears filling her eyes, remembering her dad and mom.

In cue the compass glistened, for Eleanor just looking at the compass it made her sleepy.

"1"

"2" She counted as her eyelids became heavy.

"...3" She whispered and the room finally went silent.

***

A dark room filled her view.

"..." She was silently walking on a path that led to nowhere.

and just then a door appeared before her, she hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

"The king.." There she saw the king sleeping in his bed.

She was confused on why she was here, she looked around, it was around midnight..

"12:02" She whispered looking at the clock on the wall.

Just then a sudden light enveloped the room, she turned her head and found a beautiful woman sitting on a chair just staring directly at the moon while knitting. At this point the king wasn't in his bed anymore.

Eleanor could see the beautiful woman was pregnant, a light melody filled her ears and noticed it was the beautiful woman who sung it.

Eleanor walked to where the pregnant woman is and jumped up in surprise when the woman suddenly looked back like it was staring at her. "You can...see me?" The woman whispered with her soft voice.

Eleanor was frozen still, she finally had a clear view of the woman's face, it reminded her of Cole.

"Who...are you?" Eleanor slowly said and the woman's voice widened in shock.

"You can see me!" She laughed and jumped off her chair, she placed her knit on the chair and walked up to Eleanor.

"I've been trying to call someone for a decade now! You must help me!" The beautiful woman said.

"..Tell me who you are first." Eleanor said taking back her hands and the woman was frozen before laughing merrily.

"Apologies for my rudeness," She smiled warmly at me before giving me a curtsy." Arabell Yvonne Lisanthium, the empress of Kiroa." She spoke with clear confidence.

"...Cole's...mother?" Eleanor slowly said and she froze.

"How do you know my child's name?"

"...I'am Eleanor Zira Chrysantia, Daughter of Fredrick Chrysantia and Cole's fiancee." Eleanor curtsied leaving Arabell shocked.

"Fiancee..? How can this be? My child is still in my belly." Arabell said in disbelief.

Eleanor frowned, "...In my world..you're already...dead."

Arabell shook her head, "This can't be! I'm not dead..I'm just stuck here! No.."

Eleanor felt sad, this reminded her of her mother. " You died when Cole was just at the age of 5."

Arabell furrowed her eyebrows and rubbed her belly. "..."

"I'm sorry..." Eleanor hugged the poor woman.

"No...this can't be.." She sobbed as she held her belly.

"I'm sorry.." Eleanor struggled to comfort Arabell as she kept on crying.

After what felt like hours she finally calmed down. "I really thought i was just stuck here..Thank you..for waking me up." Arabell gave her a sad smile.

"Please..take good care of Cole.." Arabell said finally feeling like a load of burden has been lifted off her chest.

"As i now know I'm already dead...I will finally rest now..It feels like i haven't rested in a while decade." She laughed tears forming in her eyes.

Although Eleanor only met her for a bit it didn't fail to bring tears to her eyes.

"If there's one thing i can do for you before i leave please tell me." Arabell said her body now floating.

Eleanor finally remembered her question, she told her the whole story of the king sending her to an island, "Do you happen to know why the king said I'm a threat?" Although she knows Arabell didn't know as he had no connection to the living world she still asked.

Arabell paused for a moment. "I've known the king all my life, He is a righteous man, A good and smart ruler.." Arabell spoke as if she was taken back to where they were still in love.

"He loves his family dearly....i can't say I'm right about this but..I have a feeling he was threatened by someone, someone who threatened to kill Cole..Someone even more powerful than him..." Arabell shivered before laughing.

"I'm sorry but i don't think i could be of any help.." Arabell said and Eleanor shook her head.

"No...I think i got it, Thank you!" Eleanor smiled and hugged the woman tightly.

"Oh dear," She laughed. "Your welcome child... I must go now, I wish you the best of luck." She smiled and kissed Eleanor's forehead, just then a fragment of memory flashed in her mind, The young Arabell and emperor happily playing on a field of flowers.

"...Thank you and good bye.." Arabell whispered before her body slowly dissipated into gold dust leaving the room and flying to the moon.

Eleanor smiled at Arabell, her eyes were filled with tears watching the gold dust gradually disappear.

"How much longer till we arrive at the palace?" Eleanor spoke, She had recieved new this morning that the emperor had gotten ill.

"Sis, why are you on such a hurry though?" Constantine laughed and Eleanor just shook her head as she looked out of the carriage.

After a few minutes they had already arrived.

Of course the guards let her in, as they had already know that Cole was going to marry Eleanor and ignore the emperor's orders. If they had to choose who to follow it would be Cole, as they are more scared of him than the emperor. Hell, that tyrant has already conquered 13 kingdoms in just 2 years because Eleanor was missing.

"I want to speak with the king." Eleanor was proud and confident as she held her head high no backing down to the guard who was guarding the emperor's door.

"But---" The guard jumped out at the sudden cold voice beside him, "Let her in."

Eleanor turned to her side and saw Cole who was glaring at the guard. "Cole.." Eleanor whispered, and Cole immediately switched his glare to a loving one as he looked at Eleanor admiringly.

"This will only take a minute.." Eleanor said and went inside not even bothering to talk to Cole.

"Lady Eleanor, what a surprise for you to be here." The emperor laughed and sat on the bed, not laying down anymore.

"Tell me who ordered you to send me to that island." Eleanor's voice was cold. She was wearing all black as if attending a funeral.

The emperor was frozen still, "You're poisoned aren't you? The same poison that killed my father." she uttered in disgust.

Seeing as the emperor didn't move she continued, "I met the empress Arabell." As soon as she finished that sentence the emperor suddenly looked at her. "We met last night..In my dreams, she was the one who told me your being threatened."

The emperor laughed, "Do you think I'd believe you?!"

Eleanor furrowed her eyebrows, "A field of flowers, does it ring a bell?"

The emperor clearly knew what it meant but concealed it.

"Catch me if you can!, hahaha" She said in a monotone voice.

"Just you wait if i catch you I'll lock you up in my dungeon! (Monotone)"

"Bleh, You have to catch me first! (Monotone)"

"Got you! (Monotone)" She continued before the emperor couldn't take it anymore.

"STOP!" The old emperor said as he looked at Eleanor.

"Do you want to tell me now?" Eleanor smiled sweetly.

"...Where'd you meet her?"

"...Here." Eleanor looked around the room.

"She was sitting in a chair, staring at the moon." She pointed to the spot where she saw her.

"Is she..gone?"

Eleanor pursed her lips and nodded.

The emperor looked down and laughed, "Lilian..It's Lilian."

Eleanor furrowed her eyebrows, what? How could this be?!
