Reborn with Black Wings

I was a princess of the Celestial Court at my choosing ceremony, I selected Caius Verdan, the noble heir who carried the most prestigious emerald Imperial bloodline. After a brutal and nearly fatal labor, I finally laid an egg. But instead of the violet sacred egg he had longed for, it was a dull ivorywhite shell with no glow at all. Meanwhile, my older sister Morrelle, whose bloodline ranked a tier below mine, gave birth to a rare violet descendant. Her husband was crowned the new king of the celestial court. Caius was furious; without hesitation, he smashed my child against the palace steps. Then, while I was still trapped in my true form, he slit my throat, tore out my feathers, and threw me into the nest of the mountain beasts. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the choosing ceremony. I had barely recovered when Caius let go. "Your Majesty, I do not wish to enter a marriage contract with Princess Kaya. The woman I seek to marry today is Princess Merelle. " The entire royal hall erupted. Even Mireille froze, then delight spread across her beautiful face, impossible to conceal. Mireille was 10 years older than me and the Azure Noble bloodline. She had remained unmarried all these years. My mother was the queen; her mom had been nothing more than a mistress who climbed into my father's bed through manipulation and ambition. At the Celestial Court, Mireille is no true princess, unwanted by pureblood nobles. Everyone wonders why Emerald heir Caius Verdant chose her. I know the truth, he's reborn, he remembers her violet sacred egg from the past and my disgrace this time, he gets not even the lowest cursed egg.

Caius forced me for one simple reason. In our previous life, my difficult labor forced me to shift into my true form. That was when he discovered I wasn't the bloodline he had coveted. After seeing the white egg I had laid, he had executed me without hesitation. Excellent, since you've admitted it, then die for your deception. I never claimed to possess. the Emerald Imperial Bloodline. what crime am I confessing to? The day I was born, the sky above the palace had been flooded with radiant colors. The entire kingdom celebrated me as a blessing; only my mother knew the truth. I had hatched from a black egg. To protect me, she buried that secret before marrying Caius in our previous life. I had confessed everything to him back then. He had held my hands and gazed at me with apparent devotion and told me. I loved you for who you are. That bloodline meant nothing to me. I learned the truth at death. He lied, thinking I tested his loyalty. Now Caius pressed on relentlessly. Whether you said it or not is irrelevant. You concealed your bloodline while enjoying royal privileges. That alone is blasphemy against the court.

Facing the king's fury, Caius calmly dropped to one knee. "Your Majesty, it is not that I look down upon Princess Kaya;. it is because she is a fraud. She has deceived the entire court. "She does not possess the Emerald Imperial bloodline at all, she carries the cursed Shadow Black bloodline. Nonsense, my daughter could never possess the Shadow Bloodline. Oh, if your Majesty is so certain, why not have the Princess reveal her true form? If she truly possesses the Emerald Imperial Bloodline, I will gladly die to atone for my accusation. Then Princess Kyla should die to atone for. hers My mother's face turned pale, she said nothing My father, meanwhile, had already shifted from shock to suspicion His fingers tightened around the armrest of his throne. All we're asking is for her to reveal her true form Yet the queen hesitates so much. It seems I've struck the truth. My mother clenched her jaw, preparing to speak. I emerged from the crowd, meeting Caius's gaze. I said calmly, "I do not possess the emerald imperial bloodline. " My mother gasped.

After the extinction of the ancient Phoenix race, our peacock bloodline rose to rule the celestial court. The hierarchy of bloodlines was determined by feather colormidnight, violet, emerald, azure, ivory white, and shadow black—the color associated with curses and ill omen. The legendary Midnight Divine bloodline vanished 3 million years ago; the Violet bloodline, one rank below it, appeared only once every 100,000 years. As a result, in our world. Emerald is the supreme crown, and Shadow Black the ultimate royal taboo. With no male heir, my father, King Oryx, decreed a grand choosing ceremony to save the. throne"Whichever man fathers the noblest descendant with one of my daughters shall inherit the throne of the Celestial Court. " As his only daughter believed to possess the Emerald Imperial bloodline, I was the center of attention that day. Nobles from across the realm waited outside the palace for my choice, and I chose Caius. My father had been extremely pleased until Caius publicly rejected me; the king's expression darkened instantly. Caius Verdant, Princess Kaya selected you, yet you reject her before the entire court and seek Morrel's hand instead. Are you mocking the authority of the crown?
