In the crowd with the crown prince, Lita was standing beside the crown prince while talking to the other nobles. Lita was feeling relief after what had happened between Henry and her, she was unable to relinquish him. It was leading her to a pain in the ass, she couldn't remove her affection towards him and she still loved him even if she had betrayed him for the crown prince.
Henry misunderstood her but she had no choice but to choose her revenge towards the royal family over Henry. Why...why Henry! You didn't let me even explain myself...! This isn't fair! I regret this but I have to...' She felt like a bird that got trapped in a cage by her plans, she knew she had wanted this. Lita has decided to continue her plan for revenge on the royal family even if it means torture and risk.
She wanted revenge for what had happened to her dear father, Mr. Romero. Who used to work at the palace of the dukedom, that 10 years ago... There was a fire incident that happened in the guest house, who had burned it down and her father was blamed for that incident leading him into prison and died unconsciously with torture. That happened before she was 10 years old.
[ 10 years ago... ]
[ May, 13. In the kitchen of the palace ]
"Papa!"
Lita ran up to her father, Mr. Romero, who worked as a chief from the palace of the dukedom.
"ACH, mein kleines Sonnenitch!"
Mr. Romero turned around and cheerfully said, lifting Lita in his arms.
"Vot, brings you here little sunshine?"
He said with a wide smile admiring his daughter Lita, her pale skin, rosy cheeks, light blue eyes, and long wavy blonde hair, as she wore a white dress.
"Nix, Papa, I just wanted to see you. I have missed you so much! Will you go home before my birthday? At May 20?"
She said with her eyes sparkling putting a puppy eyes as she pouts.
"Ach, I don't know yet but I promise I'll be there in no time! I'll just ask the royal highness if I am allowed to go there, okay my little sunshine?"
He said softly as he caressed her rosy chubby cheeks.
"Promise?"
She said with puppy eyes.
"Yes, of course, little sunshine"
He chuckled.
[ May 19 That evening in the guest house of Ashworth ]
A sudden mysterious figure comes into the guest house drops some gas and lights up the guest house leaving some guests unconscious. The next day the day of Lita's birthday, she ran up to the palace with a cheerful smile. Her sudden smile faded away after seeing her father getting arrested.
"Papa!"
She cried out and ran up to him but the officers tried to stop her.
"I'm sorry, little sunshine if I broke our promise... Please take care of your mother and happy birthday"
Mr. Romero said softly as a river of tears came from his eyes.
"Papa! What's happening why... Where are you going?"
She cries out,
"Please Lita go..."
As the officers bring him into the car already. The housemaid comes up to Lita and embraces her making her stop crying.
"My dear, please don't cry... Everything will be fine"
The housemaid said softly and warmly, as she wiped Lita's tears off.
Then suddenly Lita snapped into reality when she heard the crown prince calling her.
"Lita, are you okay my dear?"
Prince Daniel said softly.
"Y-yes your highness..."
Lita responds hiding her pain from the crown prince. The crown prince nodded and went back to the conversation with the nobles, while Lita listened. Lita could feel her fragile heart filling up with pain, but she tried to hide it putting a facade in front of the crowd. It's like some chains are wrapped around her heart tightly.
