Chapter 3- Love at first sight? Nah
Blacksaint
Just a quick reminder that this is a Cinderella retell so a few things are going to be similar

Let's start ☝️☝️
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Hello Mr Benson
Angelica greets the kind librarian as she walked into the library
Mr. Benson/librarian
*smiles* Angelica, is that you?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
😊😊😊 Yes Mr Benson
Mr. Benson/librarian
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
You know my mother
Mr. Benson/librarian
*laughs* Well it's nice to have you here again
Mr. Benson/librarian
Oh and the sequel of your favorite book has finally arrived
Angelica Celeborn/fl
The crimson knight!!!
Mr. Benson/librarian
*smiles* Yes
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Jumps up happily and runs off* [Finally]
Mr. Benson/librarian
Careful alright?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Yes Mr Benson!!
Angelica climbs up the ladder of one of the shelves in search of the book she wanted
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Stretches her hand to get the book* [Why didn't I take after my mother's or father's tall height. Whose height do I even take after]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*stands on her tippy-toes and finally gets the book*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*sighs* Finally- Ahhhhhhhhh!!! *slips off the ladder"
Angelica shut her eyes expecting the pain that would come when she lands ungracefully, but surprisingly she fell into someone's strong arms instead
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*opens her eyes slowly and gasps* [he's definitely an Angel]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[goodness even his voice sounds angelic] 🤤🤤🤤
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*wipes her imaginary drool away*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Yes... yes I'm okay *stares*
Man
Then am I allowed to put you down now?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Of course!! *jumps out of his arms*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Bows politely* Thank you for saving my life, my lord
Angelica guessed he had a noble status from the way he dressed
Man
*shakes his head* You don't have to address me as such. You can call me Callisto or callis if you feel more comfortable
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[me?? Call a noble man by his name??] *shakes her head hurriedly* I wouldn't dare. I'm just a lowly commoner
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*smiles* I insist
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*hesitates* Very well... Callis
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
See, not too difficult, is it?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*nods* Callis... *smiles* [he has a nice name]
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
And what's the reason behind that smile if I may ask *smiles*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[What's this feeling? Is this.... Love?? Nah, I'm probably just very flustered]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
It's not much, it's just that you have the exact same name as the main character of the crimson knight *raises the book in her hand*
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*surprised* You can read?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Yes, I can🙂🙂🙂
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
That's quite impressive. No offense but it's quite rare to find a literate commoner.
Angelica Celeborn/fl
You flatter me, my lor- *blinks shyly* callis
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*smiles* I didn't get your name
Angelica Celeborn/fl
It's Angelica
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
Angel. You don't mind if I call you that, do you?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Blinks dumbly* Of course not
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
Angel it is then *smiles*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[better to say away from noble men]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*forces a smile* Okay... Callis. I'll get going no-
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*cuts her off* How about you recommend me a few books to read. I'm not familiar with this library
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*scratches her head awkwardly* Umm... Of course [that's the least I can do for the person who save my life]
Angelica and Callisto ended up spending hours in the library together discussing books and the conversation ended up shifting to her life at home
Angelica Celeborn/fl
And I'm the only daughter of my parents whose name ends with a 'CA' and not a 'NA' like rest of my sisters *scowls*
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*laughs loudly* They probably love you more
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*scoffs* Love, my foot. It's just child discrimination
They both let out a hearty laugh at Angelica's word like it was the funniest thing they've ever heard
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*stops laughing and thinks* [why am I even telling him all this? Is it because of his gentle personality or is it just that I've never seen a fine man like him before? Or am I really falling in love with him?]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*glances at callis who had just recovered from his laughter* [nahhh there's no such thing as love at first sight. I'm probably just man deprived]
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
I'm sorry but your family are just so... *laughs* And I thought mine was worst *smile slowly disappears*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[I can tell his family isn't a easy topic for him, so I didn't bother asking and besides just because we've sent a few hours together does not mean I can start asking personal questions like that]
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
Anyways-
Mr. Benson/librarian
Angelica!
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Yes, Mr Benson!
Mr. Benson/librarian
You do know you have somewhere to be, right?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[The brothel!!] I totally forget!!
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Thanks, Mr Benson
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*frowns* Are you going somewhere?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*gets out of her seat* Yes. I'm sorry, but I have to go now
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*stands as well and smiles* It's okay, Angel. I really enjoyed our time together-
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Speaks hurriedly* Oh yeah, me too
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Gotta go now! Byee
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*Eyes widen* Wait!!
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*stops*
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
Are we ever going to see each other again?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*smiles* Definitely [definitely hope not]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Bye, Mr Benson!! *runs out*
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*Smiles and picks up the book' The crimson knight' from the table* Angelica Celeborn... We'll definitely meet again
Blacksaint
