Chapter 3 - The Precious Gift
Opening up the box, my eyes lit aflame.
Excitement filled my eyes as I took the gift out.
A quaint golden pocket watch fell into the palm of my hand and I immediately turned it around to find my name engraved in beautiful cursive handwriting.
Cassian Hamilton
A pocket watch?
Summer Centianne
Yes! It's just like the one I wanted!
Matthias Wind
As requested, I made it all by hand, and it even includes a moon cycle section in the corner.
Matthias Wind
Great for tracking the full moon!
It was beautiful... just like the one that Cassian always carries around.
I couldn't help but blush a little.
Matthias Wind
So, have you been keeping up with your classes like we agreed upon?
Summer Centianne
I've done diligently in all of my studies, including swordsmanship and agility training!
Matthias looked right at his friend, who shrugged his shoulders.
Cassian Hamilton
Don't ask me.
Cassian Hamilton
Frost is the one who has been in charge of her training.
Frost was my personal tutor. He's been with me ever since I first was brought to this manor and now, since I've turned 18, he left two days ago.
Cassian Hamilton
I've heard that she's been improving exponentially.
Matthias Wind
Well, that's always good to hear.
Matthias Wind
And hey, did you hear from Kyran and Cliff?
Matthias Wind
Well, I have. They were reluctant at first to accept to come here but I convinced them otherwise.
Cassian Hamilton
Well, that is an unusual yet pleasant surprise for them to both move from their respective cities to come here of all places.
Summer Centianne
Are they old friends of yours, Cassian?
Cassian Hamilton
Yes, they both are.
Matthias Wind
However, I can still brag to have known Cassian the longest.
Matthias Wind
Kyran and Cliff both come from Griffiths, while I, as you know, come from Harpchord.
Cassian Hamilton
That's where I was originally from before I migrated here, to Smokestowne.
Wow, you learn something new everyday.
Matthias Wind
Anyway, little lady, shouldn't you be getting ready now?
Cassian Hamilton
I believe that you've said your greetings.
Cassian Hamilton
Time to get fitted into your dress, dear.
I smiled and nodded before rushing off.
As I left the hall, Matthias smiled.
Matthias Wind
She's grown up even more beautiful than I thought she would.
Matthias Wind
I wonder how you keep your hands to yourself, especially during the full moon.
Cassian sighed and looked at his old friend with despair.
Cassian Hamilton
I have measures in place.
Matthias Wind
I'm sure that she wouldn't mind if you took a small bite.
Matthias Wind
After all, you've kept those affections for her bottled up for years now.
Cassian Hamilton
A few years is nothing to us, you know that better than anyone else.
Matthias Wind
But it is when her life is only restricted to 100 of them.
Cassian's expression immediately unsoftened.
Cassian Hamilton
Are you suggesting that I attempt to turn her?
Matthias Wind
I'm surprised that you are still against it.
Matthias Wind
Imagine her, kept in the prime of her life, forever by your side...
Cassian Hamilton
I won't hear it, Matthias.
Cassian Hamilton
Besides... I hope that you include yourself in this conversation.
Both men remained in an extremely tense atmosphere as suddenly Matthias lightened it as he let out a small chuckle.
Matthias Wind
My apologies... I didn't mean to act rude.
Matthias Wind
But you know...
Matthias Wind
If you don't tell her tonight, I will.
