"Char, Will you play the Piano for me?" The man asked, I nodded and waltzed towards the piano, I sat on the small short chair and started to play, "Beethoven's symphony". I was in the tower still, even after a year, he still has me here, for some reason I feel calm here with him, but what can I do?
Now Everyone in the kingdom knows me by the name, "Lady Witch" Nothing I can do about it anymore. Sigh, Much less this Air-Head, even though he acts completely foolish and acts all scared and stuff, he's actually quite clever?
'The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is a choral symphony, the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1822 and 1824. It was first performed in Vienna on May 7th of 1824, it's my favorite piece and I play it when I most want silence in the room when I want my presence to be concealed yet at the same time seen.' I pondered I played meticulously, the piano was something only I could understand and touch.
"Wow~ Such a peaceful and soothing sound, Will you sing too, Char?" He asked, I glared at him and kept playing the piano, I wished to sing, and play an instrument that went along with my voice, but it can only be done with a violin and no one here knows how to play one.
"Ack! She's so stunning! I love when Lady Char plays that piece for the Archmage, it's been ever so lonely without her!~"
"She's the only one who can actually control the moody Archmage!"
"Shh! They'll hear you!"
"Ah! Sorry!" The maids scurried along and talked no more, the only ones that were bathed in the sunlight were me and 'him'. He's the reason I'm in this mess, to begin with, I was only a mere assistant a few months ago and suddenly there came an attack that was directly targeted towards the Archmage.
I thought, "Hey he's gonna get hit so I don't know, maybe I should help?" and then I lunged towards him, throwing my entire body onto his, and to my surprise, he was floating and so was I. He held a barrier around us, protecting us even from tier 3 mage attacks! This was only possible if he was the Archmage! The one who was so against Alastair, the duke from then. He worked by Sebastian's side and later planned treason!
[He was the Villain in the story.] He was laughing along and in the middle of the battle! for god's sake, I regretted trying to save him, to begin with!
[I really can't help but hate him now...But, he hasn't done anything to hurt me now...Still, I'll do a bit of damage to release this pain and unsteadiness in my heart.]
"YOU. ARE. DEAD." I said in the spur of a moment, and he flinched I grabbed his hair and pulled it out as hard as I could, he cried and yelled, I choked him by grabbing his collar and yelled, "YOU BASTARD! I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAVED YOU AT ALL! YOU SCUM!!"
My voice was heard even throughout the ears of the enemy, they all flinched and I turned around and smirked, [I'll take it out on them for making me give up my life for an ARCHMAGE and a VILLAIN at that.]
I screamed internally and headed towards them, I chanted the few spells I knew, that were taught to me by him. I cracked my knuckles and headed out, everyone started to head towards me fighting to their last breath. "Ecce testem Vento ignem" I yelled and the fire was carried off by the wind and made a tornado big enough to destroy an entire army of men, but it would mean I'd run out of stamina.
"W-Witch..." A man whispered in despair, I felt kinda bad that I did that just because they aimed to kill him, I really did regret that, and so it's the reason I'm still staying in the tower of silvether.
I thought to myself for a month, "Why did I do that? I regret doing that, hearing those scared screams, Hearing them cry for help...It makes me regret everything I've done on that battlefield."
"Char...I'm sorry for what I did...I didn't mean to lie to you, I just didn't want someone like you to leave me alone," He continued, "Again..." He whispered so softly that I couldn't hear but I could feel his despair and the loneliness that emitted from his tone.
I went crazy on that day, I went berserk because I couldn't take it anymore, my soul had been damaged permanently, there was nothing I could do about it. Asher checked my vitals and nothing was wrong, but he said that my soul was so damaged that it might break at any moment and that nothing could cure it.
"You should've told me sooner, Idiot. You know that I hate lies and I hate people who try to lie to me to my face even when I know they're lying, Now you know that, Asher." I said, and he flinched and scratched his head nervously smiling at me, I smiled tenderly at him and kept playing the piano.
"You want me to sing? If you can come up with a spell that can make you play the violin, I'll gladly do so-"
"I already did! I was prepared for this Char!" he said smiling brightly, it really blinded me, [How does this man go unseen with THAT face? eugh..]
"Et pulchra musica est similis tui..See? Now give it a try!"
[I hate how talented and prepared he can be sometimes, but he only does this when he really wants to achieve something.] I thought, I sighed helplessly and watched how asher's eyelashes fluttered so nicely like feathers in the sunlight, He looked up at me and smiled brightly, I smiled back and punched him.
He's gotten used to it though, it's been a long time since I've seen Sebastian, I hope he's doing alright...
"So, Did you collect any information on 'that' person?"
"Yes Your Highness, She seems to be working as a maid in the Archmage's tower, She seems to have a close relationship to him according to sources." The red-haired man added, this made the black-haired man furious and yet so sad, the woman whom he once cherished and loved oh so much, had abandoned him but he had yet to find out why.
"Also the Princess from-"
"Tell the princess that I'll be busy, so she should prepare to leave next thing tomorrow. Do not let her in this palace as soon as it is dawn." The man ordered, with a flick of his hand he could have what he wanted, except for her. She was out of reach, when he reached out to hold her hand she left running in every one of his dreams.
"Just why? Why did you leave me...
Charlotte."
