We entered the cold mansion, a silent yet mesmerizing place. All the decorations made me feel fuzzy [this is my first time seeing such a shinning place] even though my house was much bigger, the lazuli mansion was shiner and more beautiful.
"What is this mansion called?" I curiously asked my Father, he glanced at me and whispered "Glacies..." meaning ice. The stairs had an icy temperature to it and the wall was decorated with different types of lapis lazuli, the normal mana stones were used to heat up the place using blue fire and the floor had a blue and white texture to it.
[words can't describe this place] I thought to myself "Nice to meet you" a young man bowed towards me, "My name is Sebastian Veto" he stood up and stared at me "I serve the lord of this mansion, it is nice to meet the young lord of the Alodia" that man was watching all my actions, it felt weird...
"Yes..." I slowly grabbed my dads lower wear "I think that's enough Sebastian" my father spoke up 'chuckle' "of course my lord" he started walking to the stairs "I will lead the way since it's the young master's first time coming" my dad held my hand and walked slowly.
We stood at a huge door [s-so big] it was so big that my father was just half of it, it was impossible to hide my impressed expression from the maids and the butler "Khalid" he called out to me "the request you made on our way here..." The butler glanced at me "make sure that's your wish after seeing her" "that's an order" this was my father's way of giving me a warning, this meant that I either lose my place as her fiancé or be a jerk and continue being her fiancé.
"Yes..." my voice was weak, I did not have the courage to meet her, I despised her, wished that she would die every day, how could a man like me ever see that sick person. They both stood behind me and waited as I to step into that dark room, the maids slowly opened the door and bowed, "here you go my lord" they whispered, I stepped into that dark and cold room.
'Gulp' my Father watched me coldly and waited, goosebumps came over me as I stepped into there. In a moment some sort of blue flames lightened up which gave me a fright "eeekkkk" I was scared and started trembling.
I saw a bed in the middle, it was covered in transparent veils, but I could tell that there was a person inside, "is she sleeping?" I said to myself, taking one step at a time, I reached that place and stared inside.
[I can't see her.. clearly] i slowly slided the veil to the other side and... my whole body stopped moving. "Huh-" my face was bright red, it was my first time seeing such a beautiful person this close, she had bright blue hair, it was shining just like a lapis lazuli infused with mana, her skin was pale, it almost seemed like she was dead. "Sleeping beauty?" it was a nickname the noble ladies called her.
"Hey?" I called out to her, "it's no use" I was scared, my father was behind me all this time, yet I failed to notice "w-what do you mean" I asked him who was silent "this child is stuck in a dream" he started answering "a dream where it is impossible to get out" I was confused as to why he said dream.
"What do you mean?" I asked "unlike you, after she was born, this child never had the ability to talk or cry, she was stuck in this bed not being able to move a bit. There were even times when she stopped breathing..." his voice broke, "I felt bad... I wanted her to wake up one day even if it's gonna take decades, I want her to feel love from someone in real life" he looked at me "that's why I chose you, my own son to love her..." "But it seems like you don't want that" I felt bad, I didn't know what to say to him who only wanted good for both. [i know his gonna accept it if i say that i wanna break of my engagement with her... but] I could not choose, rather abandon her and continue my life feeling responsible for it or stay with her my whole life... with a person who has no chance of waking up.
"I will give you time Khalid, stay here for a while and make up your mind" he left the room without saying much, I looked around and saw a chair next to the bed and sat in it. [it's so cold in here] I thought to myself, "where are you right now?" I asked to her who was in coma, "are you gonna feel sad if I am gonna abandon you?"
I slowly touched her hand which was as cold as ice "I feel like you're dead..." no matter how you looked at her, you could say that she was dead, her breathing was low, she was laying in the bed like a dead person without moving an inch, and her body was cold as ice.
"I never met anyone beautiful as you, I want to hear your voice and see your eyes, i-" it felt weird, who was I talking to? A dead person? Or my fiancé? Whatever it was, I decided to view things from my father's point of view, "alright! I decided" I stood up from the seat and started waking to the door.
I took a last glance at her and smiled, "wish me luck lapiz" I stepped outside and saw my father with the butler "father" I whispered, and then proceeded to clear my throat "I HAVE DECIDED ON MY WISH"
