[ HENRIETTA'S P.O.V. ]
I felt the brush of cold wind against my cheek, as if it was caressing me. I smirked, staring coldly outside the window. My eyes glistened as I watch the sky glow. It looked bright because of the stars twinkling above, yet melancholic because of the cold breeze accompanying it.
"Astraeus," I whispered softly, calling out the person left in my room. "Do you think it would be possible for me to live outside?"
I could feel his body flinching at my question, then he placed down the orange he was peeling.
"Princess... Would you like to run away from here? With me?" I clasped my hands together at his question.
Do I want that? Will that make me happy? Do I really want to take the path to happiness just like this?
