Yes, I Will Marry You

Esther looked at her right hand which had a simple bracelet of blue beads around her wrist. She removed it and closed her eyes, gripping it tightly in her palm as she murmured something in a language no human could understand. When she opened her closed fist, there was light emitting from that blue bracelet. 

She needed to search for the location of the Crown Prince, but it would take too long to ask around the royal palace. After sharing her life force, her soul, with him, she could feel his presence if he was nearby. 

After confirming his location, she went straight to his residence. She was relieved since the palace of the Crown Prince was close enough from the royal library, that there was no need for her to ride a carriage. 

At the entrance of his residence, the royal guard stopped her.

"I need to see His Highness," she said while catching her breath as she ran straight from the royal library without rest.
