Chapter 14 - The Harbour
Rose Riverback
Oh my... this place is beautiful!
Arriving at the port town of Oceanne, Dix and I walked through the famously acclaimed marketplace.
Foreign fruits, magical objects... anything you could think of, it was here.
Rose Riverback
Wow, are those first edition astrology books???
I ran right to a stall and started to flick through the charts.
Dix Aveguard
You enjoy astrology?
Rose Riverback
I sure do. It was a hobby that Mother and I shared when she was still alive. I picked it up a few years after her death.
Seeing my smile when I interacted with the charts, Dix smiled and pointed towards a café.
Dix Aveguard
Wait for me there. Here's a coin, go get me and yourself a drink.
I skipped over and entered the shop.
Slamming down a bag of gold, Dix grinned.
Dix Aveguard
I am Dix Aveguard. Send all of these books to the harbour. My attendant under the name of Oliver Bryce will collect them.
The man immediately nodded and took the gold and started to tie up the books.
Dix turned around and smiled at me. I sat by the window, my hair all brought to one side.
Dix Aveguard
I'll make you happy.
After a day of window shopping, I sighed.
I was exhausted and needed to rest.
Dix Aveguard
Are you tired?
I nodded, wiping the sleep from my eyes.
Dix Aveguard
I'll bring you back to the inn. But before that...
Rose Riverback
A gift? You didn't-
Dix Aveguard
Open it before you refuse it.
I did and inside was a beautiful silver bracelet that he had seen me eyeing.
Rose Riverback
Dix, this is-
Dix Aveguard
Beautiful? Just like you?
Dix Aveguard
A beautiful girl should have beautiful things.
Rose Riverback
Not all things are beautiful. They might look like it but it's the giver's intention that makes it special.
Rose Riverback
I'm not accepting it because it's expensive or that I feel bad. I'm accepting it because you gave it to me.
Rose Riverback
Thank you... it really is beautiful.
I slowly put it on myself and I immediately smiled at it.
Suddenly, a hand brushed past my cheek and then, our lips met again in a sweet kiss while the sun set.
The Amber rays of light surrounded us but I couldn't care less about it.
I've only known Dix for a few days but... I might really love him.
Dix settled me into the inn and then disappeared to the harbour, where a man in a trench coat was waiting.
Dix Aveguard
Not here. Did you receive everything I sent?
Oliver Bryce
Yes. Um... are all of the books necessary?
Dix Aveguard
You would assume that a woman would prefer expensive jewellery but not Rosy.
Dix Aveguard
She's a lover of books, always had been.
Oliver Bryce
My Lord, please cease explaining your fantasies to a single man like me. It isn't pleasant.
He smiled and took a look at a rusty metal tag with a number engraved inside of it.
Dix Aveguard
I got to here to make her happy, to be able to stand by her side.
Dix Aveguard
Now that she is, I need to give her everything she needs to be happy.
Dix Aveguard
Also, can you believe it? We kissed just a few seconds ago... she is beautiful!
Oliver Bryce
I shall take my leave, My Lord. Are you sure that you don't want a lift back to the palace?
Dix Aveguard
I'm sure. She'll be head over heels with me by the time we get back.
Dix Aveguard
My sweet Rosy...
