library

after the banquet had finished we all went our separate ways, the royal family of loha went to our summer palace in the west, it was the palace with the best view of the ocean. while the rest of us went to out corresponding rooms. after bathing i decided to go to the library because i thought that it would be more quiet and because it would be the best time for me to learn something new.

i walked towards the library and pulled one of the two heavy doors open. i walked in this time and made sure that there wasn't anybody there. i then walked to take a book about Rhea's history and went to sit down. i opened the book and flipped through the pages until i was a painting of a beautiful woman with white hair. she reminded me of the crown prince and it turns out that she was his mother. she had the most beautiful features. i was so lost in her beauty that i didn't even realize the presence behind me. i suddenly felt a warm breath on my neck and i thought that it was Edgar so i said "Edgar, could you tell me more about this woman" "what do you need to know about my mother" said an unfamiliar voice. i was shocked and looked back and to my surprise i saw the crown prince. "I'm sorry your royal highness, i thought you were someone else" "she- she died when i was very young, i don't really remember her, but she wrote in her last letter that if i ask father about her then i would know more about her, but father is always busy" said the prince.

our eyes locked for a moment but i immediately looked away, i was still scared of him after that scream. "its late and i think that i should leave" i said and as i was walking away i herd him say " thank you for what you did earlier. I'm leaving- I'm leaving for the war tomorrow, as the future emperor i have to gain command of my army. there's a possibility that i might not come back. if i don't, Edgar will be the next emperor and I'm sure he will make you his empress. i wish both of you happiness" flashbacks of him screaming at me flashed in my head and i just ignored him and walked away, after all this was an arranged marriage and there was nothing i could do to make him break of the engagement.
