2 Part 2

The target was called Noah,there was no other information except the fact that he would attend a night festival as a commoner and that he loved popular folk dance.

So Leslie was actually dancing, it was a dance were you basically move in rhythm, make a few spins and then change partners.

At each change she would ask the name of her partner. Plus, she was standing out, her mouvements were fluid like water, her shiny gold hair was flowing on her back like a river made of liquid gold, she was making a tender smile not to scare away men and for those reasons independent of her volunteer all the men fell for her

It had been quite a while since she was first asked with no result, she was going to give up and search for another solution. But then a handsome young man became her partner.

She was captured in his gaze.

He was tall, had hair as black as a night without moon light. His eyes were blue and as deep as the ocean.

He asked : '' what's your name?'' and she replied without thinking '' Leslie'', saying her name awoke her and made her conscious of her mistake, you must never reveal your real name as a murderer. She should have given him an alias.

She returned to herself, friendly but a bit cold, trying to put some distance. But she still forgot to ask his name, she thought she had already even if she couldn't remember it.

They spent the rest of the evening together trying to know each other better. Leslie had already fallen in love but she was becoming more and more found of him.

She was looking at him with warm and tender gaze that she had never used before. Leslie finally figured out that she didn't know his name when she wanted to call him and it wouldn't come to her mind.

The young girl was afraid of asking. What if the man in front of her was the person that she needed to kill?

She tried not to think about it, she wanted the magic to last longer.

They were hugging each other on top of a hill, watching the star shining gently in the dark infinity. The sky was indeed beautiful that night.

The young man started to talk '' I am afraid to tell you this... but I must...'' He made a pause and then continued. '' I am a nobleman, my name is Noah.''

He was still talking and explaining his position as a nobleman but Leslie froze when she heard the name Noah.

Tears began to flow out of her eyes, for the first time. Noah stopped talking and asked why she in this state, was it because he was a nobleman ? There was no answer so he just hugged her tightly, Leslie was feeling safe in his arms.

After a while she calmed down and told him everything about her mission. Noah was shocked by the decision of his father even if they were not in the best relationship, he didn't hate him.

After a bit of talking, they decided to elope together.
