As they stroll to the garden, The princess turns to Rowan with a sincere expression.
Princess Ruka
Master rowan..
Princess Ruka
I wanted to thank you for helping me back then.
Rowan's expression remains neutral, but his eyes seem to gleam with a hint of intensity.
Master Rowan (The mysterious tutor)
It's my duty to teach someone what's right and wrong, Your Highness.
The princess nods, taking his words at face value.
Princess Ruka
Well, thank you again.
Rowan's gaze lingers on the princess's face before he asks
Master Rowan (The mysterious tutor)
So, are you truly going to break off the engagement
Master Rowan (The mysterious tutor)
Your Highness?
The princess takes a deep breath before responding
Princess Ruka
Yes, I have to.
Princess Ruka
Even though he was my first love...
Princess Ruka
It hurts, but I know it's for the best.
Rowan's expression changes, his smile twisting into something terrifying.
The princess feels a shiver run down her spine as she gazes into his eyes.
For a moment, Rowan's face seems to freeze.
His smile fixed in a grotesque grin.
The princess is too stunned to hear what he says next, her attention fixed on his unsettling expression.
Master Rowan (The mysterious tutor)
Ah.. mmh?
Then, just as suddenly, Rowan's face returns to normal.
His smile is once again polite and courteous.
Master Rowan (The mysterious tutor)
Nothing, Your Highness.
Master Rowan (The mysterious tutor)
You should get some rest.
Master Rowan (The mysterious tutor)
It's been a long day.
The princess nods, still feeling a sense of unease.
She can't shake the feeling that something is off about Rowan
But she pushes the thought aside. After all, he did help her in a difficult time.
As the princess heads back to the castle, she can't help but glance back at Rowan.
He's standing in the shadows, his eyes fixed on her.
For a moment, their gazes meet, and theg princess feels a shiver run down her spine.
{ Back to the castle, In her chamber }
The princess lies in bed, her mind racing with thoughts of the day's events.
She closes her eyes, trying to shut out the memories, but they linger.
Princess Ruka
Why must everything be so complicated?..
she whispers to herself, her voice barely audible
As she drifts off to sleep, she can't shake off the feeling that she's being watched.
She senses a presence in the room, a presence that's waiting and watching
Princess Ruka
What's wrong with me?..
she murmurs, her eyes scanning the darkened room.
But there's only silence.
The princess's eyelids grow heavy, and she feels exhaustion wash over her.
Princess Ruka
I'm so tired..
she whispers, her voice barely audible.
She snuggles deeper into her bed, letting the softness envelop her.
As she drifts off to sleep, the events of the day fade into the background, replaced by a sense of uneasy darkness.
