Chapter Text
"Where shall this story begin I thought to myself as I remember the details, should it begin all the way when I was born, where I met the love of my life, or maybe that one can be for another time. Oh I know where I can begin now..."
It was a beautiful day I stood at the altar of the church as my wife to be walked down the aisle, her beautiful eyes sparkled holding back tears, her hair done up nice and neat, and then her dress puffy, long, and white. It almost brings tears to my eyes remembering the day we became husband and wife! But, sadly what was supposed to be a happy beginning to life became a nightmare.
After the ceremony we made our way back to my mansion, were we shared our first dance, and greeted the guest. I knew most were quite displeased with my wife due to status but neither of us cared or well that was until my cousin decide to be a brat as usual and spilled her drink onto my wife's dress, making her look in disbelief and sadness. I opened my mouth about to scold my cousin but was beat by a giggle so looking at my wife I calmed down, "dear, it seems I must go change please excuse me lady Claudia, and Felix!" signaling my servants to her aid I watched as they made their way to the staircase.
Once I saw them out of sight I turn to face my cousin who got a new drink in her hand and had the nerve to smile like nothing happened, "Claudia, your my cousin and all but that was out of line, you need to apologize!!"
"ha as if I'll ever do that, she is nothing more than just a commoner. Seriously, she should apologize to me instead for wasting my drink!"
I sighed already knowing it was pointless to argue so I just walked away and continued meeting the guest as I await my wife's return and yet for some reason I just started to get an uneasy feeling which I just took as nothing, biggest mistake of my life!
Minutes passed as I waited and the feeling I pushed away as nothing became even worse and so without much thought, I signaled a few of my guards that I looked at questioningly cause they were the same ones I sent to follow my wife, and they each looked at me with fear. Once again I pushed the issue aside and made my way upstairs to the room I knew my wife would be in.
I was not prepared for what happened next as I opened the door, cause there she was her once bright blue eyes empty of color, her face pale, and her beautiful white dress stained with blood. Falling to my knees I crawled my way to her my eyes opened wide in disbelief, my heart breaking even more as I pulled her into my arms, reaching up I close her eyes and just like that my despair became fueled by anger.
Looking at the guards I speak in a voice that didn't sound like it was my own, "no one is to leave, that is an order!!!" they all run off and I look down at my wife an image of her smiling bright flashing before my eyes, so with all the strength I have I start to get up while keeping a hold on her and walk out of the room heading to the main hall the voices of guest and servants speaking in confusion echo in my ears. But, those voices were soon replaced with screams as I appeared holding my lifeless beloved wife in my arms. "Who did this?" I spoke with a hoarse voice.
Looking at the fear on everyone's faces.
"You took her life, destroyed mine and all of you shall receive the same!" With that I spoke a few words to myself that I once learnt from a book I read and no sooner had I said them did the fear also become panic as all around a fire begin, I watched blankly as everyone began to scream, cry, and run. I smiled while listening to their cries for help and laughed to myself. Falling to the floor I sat at the top of the staircase my gaze going from the flames, to look down at my wife and just like that I finally started to cry, and pulled her even closer as the flames then began to burn the both of us.
...
"Life is truly such a tragedy you know and that's why when I first said the curse it was also a vow to never find peace until I found the one that took my wife's life, so tell me can this truly be my beloveds reincarnation?" I said to my servant friend as I showed him a picture of a French class.
