I Have Already Fallen For You

Damien remembered that Lily would stay in the inner courtyard during the night whenever she was feeling down or wanted to be alone with her thoughts.

Damien sighed as he slowly raised both of his hands. He didn't turn back and said in his normal voice, "I didn't expect that the usually gentle Lily would speak so coldly to me."

He felt the blade on his neck tremble as it slowly retracted backward, no longer pressing against his neck.

*CLANG*

The sound of a sword hitting the ground resounded as suddenly two arms embraced Damien from behind.

"Damien...you are still here…" Lily choked out her words in between sniffles as a set of tears streamed down her face.

Lily for the past few days had been spending her nights in the inner courtyard thinking about Damien and worrying where he had disappeared to.
