Margaret- year 2022.

I was so excited! This is my first day as a broadcaster. The launch of the program will be later.

I am wearing my beautiful yellow dress that I bought last night. Of course, after this launch, I would be famous and, of course, the one and only untimely crush of mine would be one step closer to reaching

Just wait and see Ezekiel. Margaret was almost there.

I read the first script that I had to do. It is about King Artemis and Queen Anathela's ancient palace, the most famous palace at the time and the most conversing royal couple, who were murdered and never saw justice. Until the daughter came back and announced that she was the only soul witness to the crime, she didn't have any proof that could show evidence that she was telling the truth. That is why she has been accused of lying. Later, she was found guilty of killing her parents because she didn't want to marry her fiance and wanted to be sole heir of the palace because she liked a man that her father didn't want to marry. The princess has been punished. She was forced to drink poison to kill herself.

I sighed. That was part one of my true-to-life history report. This is my first job as a reporter. Yes, it's kinda boring but at least my partner was hot.

I jump in surprise when suddenly Erox snatches the script that I was reading.

"What the hell! This is a lie. The princess couldn't do that. What kind of daughter could do such things? She loved her parents dearly. I won't believe this was a lie."

I stood up and turned on him since he was behind the couch where I was sitting. I crossed my arms in front of him, glared, and snatched back the piece of paper when he was ignoring me.

"And how would you know that the princess couldn't do that?" I ask.

He looked at me with his serious stare." Could you kill your own parents just for the crown? Could you murder the couple who love you dearly, raise you, and give you all you want in life?"

I raise my eyebrow. Of course, not even I was in that kind of a situation. I will always choose my parents. There's no way that I would choose other people over them.

I sigh... " "What do you think of me? Of course, family was always first and I will choose them as always. "

Erox smirked. "That's it, so there's no way that the princess would kill her parents."

I roll my eyes. "We couldn't say that. "We didn't know her if she was some kind of psycho murderer and greedy."

Tsk...

"You just say that you won't choose the damn crown." Erox utters

Enough for me to hear. while he was walking away.

That man was really weird.

He was talking like he knew the person. Crazy...

*******
Margaret-in the past

I get it up from lying on my bed. I feel like I have been drowned in the deep part of the water. The last time I remember, I was in a dream where the place and people were not familiar. Only Erox was the only one I knew, yet he was acting weird. He was not the Erox I knew.

"It's OK, everything was alright."

I open my eyes while catching my breath. Erox was right beside me, holding my hands.

He smiles, and I look around. I think I was in a place that I guess was in health care.

"What brings me here, Erox?"

He sighs... "We have been drowned in the ocean baby. We have been sleeping for almost how many days, based on the doctor that is taking care of us? I just woke up as well a few hours ago. And I was waiting for your recovery. Are you OK now? "

I took a deep breath... Why do I feel like I am still dreaming? The way Erox called me was the way he called me in my dream. And is it possible that a person would sleep this long?

"Am I still dreaming?" because I think you were still in your weird state. I asked and he laughed.

"You know what, M, I dreamed about you while I was in a coma. A different kind of Margaret, a naive and demure one, and you know what, I like you like that."

I shook my head. Did he say he liked me?

Then I remember the day that my parents killed me. My father wants to stop my wedding since he wants to change Erox as my fiance over Ace.

My face heated up from thinking that my best friend would be my husband in the future.

But that is not important as of now. I remember the ring that I gave to him.

"Where is the ring, Erox?"

He wrinkled his forehead.

"What ring? The one that you always wear around your neck?"

I nodded my head. "Where is it?" I asked him in a panic.

"I don't know. Maybe in your neck where you always make a pendant through your necklace.

"So I immediately searched my body for answers. But it's not there. It's only my necklace.

"Erox, I give it to you. I told you to protect it with your life."

Erox looked at me curiously, like I was saying a word that he didn't get.

"Are you okay, M? Why are you giving me the ring? " As far as I know, that was important because your ancestors gave it to you. "

I narrow my eyes. "What my ancestors, General Erox Lander Andrews, don't play with me I'm serious. My father gave that ring to me. That was the only thing that would prove that Ace was the killer of my parents. The only thing that could save me is not to marry your half brother. "

"You know my brother? You know that he was my half brother? "How did you know that he was? I didn't even tell you my family background."

I took a deep breath and let it out in frustration.

"What in heaven are you talking about? Of course, I know we have been best friends since we were young. Your life and family background were not new to me. I know even the mark through which you went down there, for pete's sake. We used to swim in the ocean together when we were kids.

Erox shook his head.

"You are not M..." Who are you? Where is M? "

"Don't lose my patience! Erox Lander Andrews answers my question, "Where is the ring?"

"Damn it! I don't know what you're talking about, and I'm not a general. I'm a Beta, for pete's sake! I don't have a mark down there, it's in my fucking ass. What did you say? We grew up together. We just met a few years ago. M. How would we swim together in the fucking ocean? "

I stopped... "What is that? What is beta? Are you crazy? Did you lose your brain in the ocean? "

I sigh. This is crazy. We both don't understand each other, like the Erox. I know he was not him and Margaret. He knew it was not me.

I look at him... And think...
