A week or so had passed since the Rodrick issue, she couldn't help but feel numb. Yet she felt happy that she got a second chance at life by having a better family and environment. She had given so much to Rodrick and she had felt so close to him but it felt like getting her heart broken once again like when he began loving Cassandra. She still couldn't comprehend how you could love someone so much even though you were never together and how they can make your heart into a million pieces without them even knowing about your love and sincere appreciation for them.
"I need to move on" she said under her breath as she got up from lying face down on her desk contemplating all of the paperwork she had completed that night just to try to get him out of her head. She picked up her candle and blew it off causing the room to be terribly black. Alondra fell into her bed and stared into her ceiling trying to close her eyes to get some proper sleep but it seemed like she just couldn't, so she decided to take a small late night trip.
She put on her green silk coat and her sleep clothing under that, and she was headed to Fabian's room. Once the incident at the pastry had occurred Harvey thought it would be best that she would be over his or a trusted adult's supervision because her personality was too reckless and childish. She was now going to be in the castle for a long while. So he brought Fabian to live at the castle for her not need to leave the castle. Anyways she was going to talk to Fabian because he was the only one who could comprehend her pain of trying to get used to her new reality and loss of her first love, he also seemed like a great person to ask for some advice and she needed a shoulder to cry on.
She knocked three times, it took him some time to open the door but once he did he seemed to be in a robe, his hair in a small bun and his face was covered in what seemed like oatmeal and milk.
"Alondra!" she placed a finger above his mouth, he then signaled for her to come in. Once he silently shut the door he asked "What's going on?"
"I hate it here, could you have picked another wish? Or why didn't you pick another human to duel with?"
"Because that thing that controlled the game was the only one I had because it was gift and there were high chances of never being able to get one again!" It wasn't my choice for you to be here! Plus the game needed to be played with blue blood or another Cuzelnik!"
"Okay then i hope you had a good wish! What was your wish anyway?" she said in a furious tone.
"I wished to be human again so I could have another chance at life!"
"Why do you even wish for that!?"
"Because my grandmother cursed me into being immortal as a Cuzelnik. My mom was my father's servant to him and his wealthy family. Yet they fell in love and had me even though my father was already married to another woman. I got to be mortal and free when I was a human. I didnt have a choice bbetween human and Cuzlenik like i have with my apperance of deer or Cuzlenik." he grasped her hands "And then you came!"
"What's so bad about being a immortal?" she said pulling her hands from his grasp.
"That was the same thing I thought back then and I lived my human life as I pleased but then i was assassinated and once my own master found out I was a Cuzelnik he caged me away to the same forest you found me and I spend almost a thousand years there. Many people died and life was never ending or changing and you can get very tired really quickly you even wish you were never immortal"
"What will happen once you die?"
"I'll turn into a Cuzelnik, that's better than never having a change. what are you complaining about, you didn't change from being a princess!?"
"I just can't get used to everyone being nice. It's like I'm supposed to accept strangers out of nowhere…"
"I was thinkingof asiking you about that because of the wedding dress and the insane amount of tears. What was that about anyway?"
"My brother put me in a arranged marriage with a forty something year old man who i clearly told him i didnt want to marry but he didn't listen and only cared more about the kingdoms well being and our marriage would make a huge alley, millitary f+-orce wise"
"Im so sorry i had noi idea, have you seen him?"
"No he lives in another kingdom,to make things worse my first and only love got engaged with my cousin which that caused tremendous pain to my heart so i decided that ruining into a cursed forest was better than living my life... "
"Life sounded like hell for you"
"it was and now although these strangers are nice, my first love is now a womanizer. I think it was better when my love was just engaged with my cousin because that gave me hope i could still see him for the rest of my life, he was my comfort and support"
She then extended her arms to surround his body and give him warmth, then the tears began to flow. "Thank you Fabian, it was so nice speaking to you, it caused so much calm and peace!"
"Its my pleasure Duchess Alondra, and thank you, it had been a long while since i had someone like you"
That was a moment the simmilarities between Alondra and Calista began to show.
