Khione's pov
I was on my way to the library to get some books when I saw Samara on the ground .I quickly walked towards her and when I saw the red brooch I had given to Samara in Kaelean's hand , I was a bit taken aback.I quickly stood in front of Samara. Kaelean said something under his breath which I couldn't make out and left.
Great!
I then walked to my room with Samara after all, I still have to meet with another jerk.I couldn't spend too much of my energy on what just happened.
I changed into a long dress and wore a hat.
Eugene was waiting for me outside my room.When he looked at me he grinned and said , 'Perfect!'.
He then took my hand and then suddenly everything went black.I tightly clenched his hand.When I opened my eyes we were in one of the streets of the main city.
I looked at him and said angrily, 'You know next time a warning would be sufficient.'
He looked at him and said, 'Oh! So you want to go on one more date huh.And yeah btw you can let go of my hand now.'
How could I forget? I quickly let go of his hand and stormed off.I could hear him giggling.He quickly ran and caught up to me and said, 'Okay so what should we try first? The bread over there or should we go into one of these colorful tents?'
I didn't reply back to him and went over to a shop which had colorful letter paper.I decided to buy some of those so I could write some letters to my parents.
The woman who was selling those papers looked behind me and said , 'Young woman, let me give you a word of advice, you should be aware of the people around you.I see a bad shadow falling on you.'
After hearing this wonderful news I turned around to look for more interesting things.
Then I saw Eugene in the other shop looking at some roasted potatoes.He paid the man and then walked towards me with two of those roasted potato sticks.He offered one to me and I accepted it cause the potatoes looked good.
After that we were walking when suddenly a man tried to grab my throat .Eugene quickly pushed him away.I was surprised with his fast reflexes.He looked at me with concern and asked , 'Are you fine?'
I replied , 'Yeah I'm okay but why did the man try to hurt me?'
The man on the ground wriggled in pain and was saying something.When I tried to listen then I realized he was saying something potato.
I looked at his thin frame and understood that this poor man was only hungry and meant no harm.I walked closer to him to give my potato when Eugene's caught my arm and said , 'We have to go ,we have too many eyes on us.'
That's when I noticed a crowd of people had formed around us and were watching the whole scene.We had no choice but to leave.I saw Eugene glance at that man before turning away.
I still couldn't forget that hungry man when suddenly a man grabbed Eugene and pulled him into a maypole .Then a woman appeared and asked me, 'Milady, join us for a round won't you?'
I looked at her and replied, 'I'm sorry I don't know how to dance.'
When she heard my reply she laughed merrily and dragged me into that stupid dance.
Did I ever tell you guys that I have always been an introverted person and that dancing and talking in front strangers makes me feel like a piece of meat up for sale?That was one of the reasons why I did not want to go that jerk Kaelean's birthday party.
I saw Eugene struggling in the other with the ribbon tangled all over his hand.He may be a great swordsman but that man had two left feet I swear to god.
I took the ribbon and swayed a bit from left to right keeping my movements to the bare minimal. The woman looked at me and said, ' Leave your worries and throw away your consciousness.'
I looked at her and smiled but didn't say anything.But do you know what I was thinking.
I wanted to seriously voodoo that woman . I mean how dare she tell me what to do and what not to do when she dragged me here without my permission.
Even in my previous life I only danced in my bathroom and I have never ever danced in front of my relatives during any family get together parties even though my parents kept insisting me to do so. So you see I am a very very very shy person so leave me alone and let me go and get some tasty looking flatbread I saw earlier.
I looked around to find Eugene so that I could tell him about the escape plan but he was nowhere to be seen.So that guy ditched me huh. WAhh and here I was thinking about a plan for BOTH of us to escape.
Then suddenly I felt a warm hand covered my eyes.I was gonna take out my dagger to stab this person when I heard a familiar whisper, 'Hey hey it's me.Calm down.'
After like 10 seconds the hand uncovered my eyes and I saw a vast field in front of me.It truly was a mesmerizing sight.The sight was so beautiful that I didn't even realize a smile had automatically formed on my lips.
'It's so pretty.' I said.
Eugene replied instantly, ' It is, isn't it' .
Eugene's pov
Khione stood there smiling while she said, 'It's so pretty.'
I looked at the sun glowing on her smiling face .Her smile looked so real and so pretty.
While looking at her glowing face I replied without hesitation, 'It is, isn't it.'
I wanted that smile I thought selfishly as we walked around the field aimlessly.After some time we transported back to the school. She thanked me and said , 'Now the deal is over okay' and then she left.
I looked at her back as she walked away.I knew it from our first meeting that Khione had many secrets and a person with secrets was bound to be hurt.I wanted her to be hurt so she could have scars like me.
Only then, in this whole world only I would deserve her and only she would deserve me.
Then from the shadows a man appeared and whispered , 'What should I do for you, sire?'
I looked at him and tapped him on his hand and replied , 'You know the protocol right.'
He replied , 'That man, okay sire.'
