    THIS IS VERSION 2! I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY BOTH VERSIONS! LOVE YOU ALL! -chezborgar


    You are the daughter of a high-ranking official. Living your 6th life as a knight for the kingdom of Esmarath in war. Dressed as a boy in a knight's uniform you are defending the castle to allow the Crown Prince of Esmarath to escape.

    Just as you're standing you hear footsteps. Your breath catches in your throat. It's... Emperor Kaelen Virellian... After he killed his father, he became emperor and started a war. In each life, that same war swept you up, ending in your death.

    You stare up at him, your broken sword cutting his left cheek before reality hits. Blood drips from your chest, and you cough up blood. You stare down at your chest, He's... impaled you through the chest. You gasp for air and cough blood, dropping your sword to the ground. Putting an end to your 6th life.

    The beginning of your 7th life

    You open your eyes gasping as you're back in your 1st life. You find yourself standing in front of your fiancé, Leopold Kingsley, who is annuling your marriage. "Vivienne Deveraux! You are a devious woman unworthy of being the fiancée of a crown prince!" he yells out. You stare at him with an unamused expression. "Very well." You say, walking out the ballroom.

    You weren't surprised, you've lived through this seven times. Deep in thought, walking the halls of the castle, you decide your best way to escape is the window before bumping into someone. "I... Apologize! I... wasn’t..." you murmur before cutting off staring up at the person in front of you. It's... "CROWN PRINCE KAELEN VIRELLIAN!?" Prince Kaelen stares down at you with his icy, sea blue eyes. "You certainly charged around that corner." He says prominently.

    You stare up at him before nodding. "Yes... my deepest apologies your highness... However, my engagement has presently been annulled, so I am in no small hurry. I must take my leave now." You say, giving a curtsy, rushing to the window. Prince Kaelen stares at you captivatingly. "A broken engagement?" he mutters to himself.

    You lean against the railing, staring down at the grass, taking your heels off. Prince Kaelen stands behind you keeping a perceptive eye on you. You take a deep breath before jumping off the balcony. Prince Kaelen stares at you as he speaks. "Wait-" His eyes widen in surprise as he rushes to the balcony, watching you poke your head out of a bush and break your heels, running home.

    He leans against the railing watching you in surprise, chuckling in amusement. Just then Prince Kaelen's trusted attendant Theodore Hensley appears. "Has... something happened?" he asks curiously. Prince Kaelen turns to look at him with a smirk. "Theodore, ready my horse." Taken aback Theodore nods simply. "As you command."

    As you arrive home, you notice a swarm of people, including your ex-fiancé, Prince Leopold. "You took your time, Vivienne. At the soirée, you reacted differently to my Proclamation, but it seems to me that you are deeply saddened at heart." he says arrogantly. You stare at him with a huff. "Are you stupid? I am not sad that you have broken our engagement." You retort in response.

    As you two argue, you come to the conclusion to leave. As you're walking away he whines to his guards. "Apprehend Vivienne...!" You huff as you continue walking, feeling the same dreading feeling you did in your 6th life. You grit your teeth reaching for the knight's sword behind you, blocking a strike from Prince Kaelen.

    He stares down at you with a smile, lowering his sword. "As I thought. It seems you're quite the sword master. Where did you learn those sword skills?" You stare up at him, speaking. "You were holding back with that strike, weren't you?" He stares down at you, chuckling, getting down on one knee and taking your hand into his. "I apologize for my sudden discourtesy. Would you please... do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

    What do you do?
