Laying on the bed, then I fell asleep.
I woke up in an unfamiliar place, "Where am I?", that's what I said.
There are three men in front of me. The first man seems kind when he said, "You'll frighten the girl".
I asked them, "Why am I here?". They answered, "It is because you are the chosen one".
I didn't understand at first.
When they said that I must marry one of them, I was shocked. I was just sleeping in my bed then I am brought here just to marry one of them?
How am I supposed to choose a guy to marry when I just met them? I couldn't utter a word. I haven't moved on properly from my toxic relationship, then they want me to decide whom I want to marry? The longer I kept silence, the more anxious I became. Even though they are all handsome, I can't focus on choosing!
I was looking around when I met a guy's eyes like a fate.
".....", that moment of silence is when I realized that I couldn't take my eyes off him. All he did is to stare at me. He may be showing emotionless face, but I feel safe when I stare at him.
"Ms.?", one guy asked.
"You can call me Johanna", I said.
On other guy's faces, all kinds of emotions appeared and vanished. I was afraid to face their emotions whether it is positive or negative, I feel unstable.
I was standing all alone on an unfamiliar castle.
In my mind, I am asking questions.
"Will it be okay to trust them, or that one guy I feel safe with?"
If I were to choose someone to trust with in this unfamiliar place, who would it be?
"Ervius, isn't it? Did you fall in love with him at first sight?", the brown-haired man asked.
"Huh? N-no-, I just...!", I uttered.
"No?", he asked me once again.
"What!?, uhmm...it's him", I said.
I guess it's settled. I chose Ervius.
".... You have to choose carefully...", Ervius stated in a cold tone.
His cold eyes carefully examined my face. And said that I can still undo my choice and he held his hand out.
It is just him in this unfamiliar world I can trust and rely with.
