Chapter 3 - The Attendant
Since war was approaching faster than expected, I was forced to flee the castle.
Maid
Only take the things that matter the most, My Lady.
Maid
Travelling light is better than travelling too heavy.
As my request, our union wasn't to be made public until the war was over, as my people needed their hope to fight.
Alois Riverback
I entrust my daughter to you, Sir.
Dix Aveguard
Don't worry, I won't allow anything bad to happen to her.
Alois Riverback
Rose... stay safe.
Putting out my palm and placing a beautiful necklace into it, he closed it over and smiled.
Alois Riverback
I'll always love you.
Alois Riverback
And so will your mother.
At that moment, the attendant helped me up onto his horse as he sat behind me while the maids attached my small trunk on the horse's back.
Rose Riverback
Whatever it takes...
I mumbled to myself, making the attendant look at me with gentle eyes.
And immediately, I faced my fear of leaving castle grounds. I wonder... am I leaving a small cage to enter an even bigger one?
We rushed out of the palace, my cloak covering my beautiful pink hair from any prying eyes.
Soon, after a few hours of silence, the attendant stopped to let his horse drink.
The way he looked... he seemed familiar.
Rose Riverback
Excuse me, could I know your name?
The man looked up and smiled gently at me, approaching me slowly.
My heart lept out of my chest as he slowly picked up my, hand and placed a kiss on the back of it.
Dix Aveguard
My name is Dix.
Rose Riverback
That's a beautiful name.
Dix Aveguard
I actually don't care for it much...
Dix Aveguard
Now, do you care to introduce yourself, Princess?
My name, he should know it already.
Rose Riverback
My name is Rose Riverback. It is a pleasure to make-
Dix Aveguard
You don't need to be formal with me.
Dix Aveguard
Just speak to me normally, like we were just two strangers who met up by chance.
Rose Riverback
We are two strangers!
He then smiled and put his hand onto my cheek gracefully, caressing my bottom lip.
He sent sparks through my body, making me feel a little warm.
Dix Aveguard
I missed that smile...
Dix Aveguard
I saw you playing with your dog before. You seemed very happy then.
Dix Aveguard
I just wanted to see how beautiful you were... when you were in front of me. And let me say this... you are indeed the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
My heart beat out of my chest as he smiled and picked me up, putting me back onto the horse.
Dix Aveguard
You are welcome to fall asleep. It is late after all.
Rose Riverback
F-Fall asleep? In front of...
I blushed even more and closed my eyes tightly, turning around yet again.
The man chuckled and then, we departed again.
Slowly, the swaying of the horse made me sleepy and my hands slid around Dix's waist unconsciously, falling asleep in his arms.
Dix Aveguard
Darn it... she really did fall asleep.
Blushing and trying to resist the urge, Dix continued to race through the evening, precious cargo in his hands.
