- So what ? She asked ironically, making it clear that she hadn't been fooled once in their theatrical talk about their lives that on the contrary, they worshiped immensely.
- So, even once in this life, we want to know what's behind these golden curtains, these tear-proof curtains that blind our sight. We want to know this normal, hard life, pathetic commons, and that people like us will never live. That's all.
Ariadne had known them for so long that she knew that they could be superficial and joking at times, but that was absolutely not the case at this precise moment.
- I see. Ariadne repeated softly. I guess nothing could change your mind?
- It's now or never for us. We both believe that the best way to see the dazzling part of this life is to get out of our way and let the heart discover what is hidden in the dark. We will do it, overcome our fear and bury our ignorance with force. So what do you decide Ariadne, none of us will force you to do things that go against your principles? It is up to you to choose if you decide to try this secret adventure with us and live a freedom that we have always dreamed of, or to prefer to stay here in your golden cage, always inaccessible and ignored by the known side, than the true taste for rebellion has always avoided.
Ariadne smiled tenderly at them. She ignored how many times she had already heard these furious words, thirsty for freedom, and witnessed their will to do anything that would be able to bring them pleasure.
Ariadne had long thought that her friends were the two most obstinate and intense people she had ever known ... until a fateful night, where she had met and been taken by a person whose strength was simply incomparable. So powerful that Ariadne still carried within her every drop of the indomitable magic he had shown her during their unique moment.
"Oh my stranger, where did you go?" She repeated to herself tirelessly like an ice princess muttering a terrible fate. You will never understand, in your whole life, the pain that you have made me suffer. will never forgive you. If only I had a way to destroy you, then it will be uncompromising that .... "
- If you say it like that ... once again, as for this damn ball, Ariadne finally answered, it is sure that going on an adventure with you two would be the right choice. But I hope this time you will at least make an effort to remember the names of your countless lovers.
The duo frowned, feeling that their friend no longer really talked about them.
- So, your answer? She asked however, remaining discreet about their impression.
- Oh ladies, from your looks, you already guessed it. Like I'm going to let you experience new things in the terrible Venezuelan Empire without me. You have it all wrong.
The duo shouted for joy and ran to throw themselves in the arms of the princess, amused, kissing her tenderly. The other customers were shocked by this scene described in their environment as "out of place". And by recognizing them, they immediately found another subject for their terrible gossip with an evil joy and an equally inappropriate satisfaction. It would not take too long for the sighted gesture of young nobles to go around high society.
- We are lost after what I see, right? They joked, moreover, indifferent. Look at these ladies who take out their phones to spread bad rumors about us.
- So what ? Ariadne pointed out ironically. They are simply so made. And anyway, aren't we already categorized in the red zone by their so hypocritically rigid judgment since the stars were born?
- It's the spirit Ariadne! Always oppose shame and fear. You are not the princess of Adgeor for nothing!
- What is this remark supposed to mean? She inquired, inquisitive.
Her friend replied only by a shrug.
- We will talk about the plan when we are in a safer place. What to say to our family, to our friends…
- …What to prepare to protect us from the unknown dangers hidden everywhere in this underground empire. Everything is already well settled in our head.
- I am glad to see that both of you have thought it over very well. Can I safely take this preparation as a perfect guarantee of our well-being for the duration of this adventure?
Their smile was lively and sincere, and clearly showed their joy for Ariadne's compliment and understanding. She understood that she no longer needed to protest, because they decided to walk hand in hand on this path of discovery filled with surprise.
- Yes, I'm with you. Do not look at me like that. I wouldn't change my mind now, but you mentioned earlier a safe place to discuss the "project". Where is it ? My apartment or any other place you have thought of? She suggested, ironic.
- That's exactly what we meant. Your beautiful apartment that your parents gave you last month and perfectly furnished, ready to receive us.
- I think I saw it coming from far away. What if I refuse after all? So let's order our lunch here first, and quickly go home to talk about this bold plan which you have already tied your souls to.
- Yes, princess. You're the boss. But only... Ariadne turned to them, stunned by the change in their voice. About linking something incomprehensible to a soul, you are in this field much more incredible than we will ever be.
Ariadne clearly felt the biting irony of these words wrapped in sweetness. She was no longer the same person, no matter how one apprehended her, and her friends, having understood it perfectly, blamed her to keep her secrets to herself.
