63 THE FRAGRANCE OF YOUTH

William sat near where the King was sleeping, he was lost in his memories. Slowly he remembered how his father declared to throw his first wife, William's birth mother out of the country who was accused of adultery. His mother kindly accepted the punishment because she did have an illicit affair with one of her male attendents. William was a kid back then, he cried her not to leave, she came near him and touched his face with hands wet with her tears. Her lover was given death punishment right away. He still remembered those words that was said to him by his mother ,"You will be the king in the future, never fall in the vicious circle of love, what I did was unacceptable for your father and his people, I am ashamed, if I had another chance to live i am still willing to choose him (wiping her tears from her puffy eyes). No more words, Long live the future king(she bowed down her son with proud)".

William kept staring at the broken vase that was lying under the corner of the table, only if one looked closely, he/she could spot the vase. The vase was an expensive one with golden leaves crafted on it, decorated with rubies and diamonds but at the same time it was an old vase.

He was pulled out from memories with a loud voice from one of the doctors, "Greetings your highness, it's time for your servant to check our Lord's health".William stood up and left his room.

He was heading to his room while suddenly his sight shifted to his room next to him. "She hasn't returned yet" he went back to his room and asked one of his spies to search her whereabouts.

In the evening, Chloe took Anne and Isle to their garden which had different flowers and climbers with attractive colours and the bright evening colours just made the environment perfect for a selfie but "the phone" is unavailable. Anne wanted to scream so bad. It actually looked magical. Could she be able to see this scenery in her time, no , she is living in a so called history page and who knows if this place even survives. Thinking of this gave her nostalgic feelings. She looked at her two precious companions and she felt that yes! these were the times she wanted when she mentions 'The Fragrance of youth' which you can enjoy to the brim, without a care knowing you won't get it back. Suddenly she spotted the Lily of the Valley and it bought back the painful memory of Tristan. A tear fell down her cheeks as she fixed her eyes to the tree which was strong symbol of that memory.
