However, with just a few steps, he changed his mind and hesitated if he should go or not. Despite living in the Royal Palace for hundreds of years he only stepped foot on the garden for only four times. And one of those would include today.
He strengthened his resolve and resumed his pace. His heart couldn't help but turn cold at the sight of the garden. Though it looked beautiful and majestic, for him it only looked poisonous as he remembered a bitter memory.
He started to wander around the whole garden only looking at the benches and avoiding his gaze from the roses. He can't bear to even sneak a peek. These things, he hated them beyond reason. Despite his extreme loathing towards the whole scenery, he started looking around for Ashley.
When he couldn't find her around the area, he realized that she must've been in the gazebo.
