To Find Edward

Marguerite is oblivious as she folds Arthmael's body into beautiful silhouettes. Following the familiar choreography, she dances relentlessly. Grand Jete! Penche! followed by a series of graceful pas de chats. All concatenated in front of the enthralled emperor. When the music reaches the outro in a full stop, Marguerite falls gracefully on the floor in a pose. She stays there and waits for the king to tell her she can leave. She stays on the ground for a long time but hears nothing from him. Wondering if she did anything wrong, she wants to lift her head to look at the king's face, but quickly remembers the warning he gave her. If she disrespects him any further, who knows what he might do to her. She suddenly feels her chin being lifted, her eyes meet the hazels of Demian. She forgets to breathe and falls from her pose onto the floor. She doesn't have time to regain her senses before two strong arms lift her off the floor. She is about to question him on his weird behaviour when her mouth is suddenly covered by his in a kiss. ------------------------------------------------- Marguerite is very talented. She has a beautiful voice, a great passion for music and various talents in the arts. Unfortunately, her bright future gets compromised when she is forced to leave her world to fulfill the wish of someone else. Marguerite wanting to go home as soon as possible, accepts.

The coffin

When night time comes, Marguerite stands up and prepares to enter the village secretly. She approaches the entrance, some men are standing by to protect the sleeping villagers, but they do not stop her, as they do not sense any danger coming from her.

Slightly grateful, she continues inside, with a bit of fear. Her eyes stay glued to the ground, not daring to look anywhere else but her cold, wet feet. Her shoes that were never meant to be for long walks outside have long bruised her feet. And the torn lace decorations have long turned brown and yellow.

She walks slowly, with small, hurried and careful step.

It's as if she has gone back to her old shy self. Her empty and broken soul overtakes Aka Fenhai. She doesn't want to feel anymore. She doesn't want to exist.

She continues towards the other side when suddenly, a small hand pulls her torn and dirty dress. She halts suddenly, turning around.
