Of Shadows and Roses

"I am the darkness, you are the light—one cancels out the other. My darling, we are not fated to be together." Under the guise of peace and union, Rosette Aldrich is set to be married off by her royal parents to the Crown Prince of their enemy kingdom. She knows of her family's ulterior motives, that is why she allows her insistent parents to believe that she agrees to their wishes. When the day for her to meet her betrothed arrives, she sets out to humiliate her parents as revenge, planning to escape far away right after. However, things take an unpredictable turn when she gets lost in the forest while running from the guards, where she's almost turns into dinner for a beast. Just before she fades out from consciousness, she sees that the person who had saved her looks a lot like the man she was to marry. Only that... he isn't? Rasvien is the captain of the mercenaries who keep the beasts of the Evernight Forest in check. One night, while patrolling, he saves a girl from being killed by an orc. Somehow, in a series of unfortunate events, he ends up being responsible for Rosette. He thinks that she is rude and stuck-up, a rich girl who's just acting out while running from home. And that she is hiding something big behind those cunning beautiful blue eyes. But, that's not to say he isn't hiding secrets himself either.

The Captain

As soon as Lira and I got to the corridor, we heard the bustle of activity from below. Mixed voices clashed in a cacophony of laughter and cheerful shouts. Goddess, how loud does one have to be while eating their breakfast?

The wooden staircase creaked as we descended to the ground floor, an abundance of sunshine pouring in like curtains that split as we passed through, maneuvering our way into some kind of foyer.

The building was not that big, mostly made up of stone as it was, it didn't look dull either. Just opposite of the door, a tapestry hung—a black outline of a raven soaring upwards toward a crescent moon against a background of deep violet. The place appeared well taken care of, not a speck of dust on any surface whatsoever. The grey brick walls were slick and shiny, a few ornaments hanging here and there. It really wasn't what I expected from a group of mercenaries. Perhaps they had hired someone to clean or whatever.
