Chapter 7

A month had passed. During that time, she went back to the dungeon multiple times but Dylan pretended like nothing ever happened that day in the garden. It was so confusing . Dylan had given Melony a flower telling her how she was so beautiful just like the flower, but then he changed his mind and decided he wanted to go back to the dungeon. They even stopped talking for the rest of that day, and all Melony could think about was if she'd done something wrong.

The next day when Melony went downstairs for breakfast she got some shocking news. News she didn't expect at all.

When she went down she saw her parents whispering about something. Melony got quite confused.

"Uhm, did I miss something?"

"Sweetheart, we think you should stop seeing that young man."

Melony knew immediately who they meant.

"W-what do you mean..?"

Melony's mother sighed.

"We want you to stop taking care of him. It's for your best."

Melony was in shock. Why did her parents want that!?

"What do you mean by that?"

Melony said with a shaky voice.

Her parents sighed.

"Please, just understand and stop seeing that man!"

Melony got mad. She'd done everything her parents asked for. No matter what it was, but this time she just couldn't take it anymore.

"No! Never! I will not stop seeing him!"

"Please Melony! He is dangerous!"

"I said no! Tell me why! He did nothing!"

"He is a monster!"

The room went totally silent.

"You know that child that got killed and the murderer didn't leave any trace? Well they found the person who did it.. And it was Dylan."

"No, no, no! Dylan would never do anything like that! He is a nice person!"

Melony started crying. Never in her life had she started crying to this extent.

"Please Melony, we just-"

Before her mother could finish Melony ran down to the dungeon to find Dylan and confirm that what her parents said wasn't true.

When Dylan saw her crying he ran to her to see if she was okay.

"Melony! Hey, hey! What's wrong?"

Dylan said with a comforting voice.

Melony could barely speak since she was out of breath because of crying. When she finally was able to speak, she asked Dylan the very shocking question.

"Dylan, Did you kill an innocent little boy?"

Dylan was shocked and hesitated.

"y-yes .. yes I did.."

Melony was shocked and couldn't believe Dylan's answer.

"How, why? Why would you do that?"

"Listen! I had no choice!"

"I-I can't believe it.."

"Please Melony, don't get mad at me."

Melony started crying out of anger.

"Mad?! Mad can't explain how I feel right now! I'm sad, disappointed, furious! I just can't believe how someone like you could do something like that!"

"I-Im sorry.. But I told you. I had no choice!"

Melony looked down on the ground feeling like she was about to explode.

"I need time to think.."

Melony said while turning around.

As Melony walked away Dylan just stood there not knowing what to do or say.

The rest of the day Melony was in her room, laying in her bed. She didn't want to go out. Even if others would force her she would keep staying in her room.

Until someone knocked at the door. The door opened and the maid came in.

"Miss.. are you okay? I heard what happened! How are you feeling?"

Melony got out of her bed. She looked tired, and her eyes were red.

"Oh my! Your majesty!-"

"I'm fine.. I just cried a little."

The maid obviously did not believe that.

"A-alright, if you say so, your majesty."

Melony sighed, and went out to her balcony.

"Why does it hurt so much..?"

The maid got nervous.

"W-what hurts your majesty?"

"My heart.. I've liked him ever since I met him. But knowing he's killed someone.. I just don't know how to handle that.."

The maid gasped.

"Y-your majesty.. Are you talking about that Dylan boy..?"

Melony sighed looking down.

"Yes.."
