Chereads / A Fiend by my side / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

I keep receiving a weird note from a Dead bird. Today I received three of the same notes with the same weird text. I ask some of the maids about the notes, yet non of them know what's written on them.

3 days before my wedding, the one that I've been avoiding. The worst day of all. I don't know what will happen to me after my wedding.

It's useless thinking about it now. What a pain in the ass, what a good way to end this life.

For today I don't feel like going out of my room. I would like to stay here until I die rather than marry that good-for-nothing man.

"My life is hopeless" I mumbled under my breath. I pick my book and read it, to put me in a good mood.

'In this Forbidden love, Can I still stay by Your Side?'

I could read that line many times until my last breath. It has a deep impact on me, but I don't know-how.

'In this world full of Misery and Affliction, I promise to keep you by my side

That's what the female lead responds to in that context. It's just a few words yet a lot of meaning behind it.

I was reading my book until I heard a knock on my door. It's my Mother.

"Have you thin–

"Mom, I already made myself clear". Before she even finishes her word I already said what I have to say.

"Just once, think about how I would feel if I marry someone I don't even love".

"You know we're doing this for your good"

"My good? Wow, what a pity" I shut the door and locked it. Now my day became worst

"What's so good about it?"

"Have they lost their mind?"

"I don't know what to do"

"Do people live to feel this kind of thing?"

"Do I have to live like this? "

"To they required people to be in a vain?"

The book is right this is the world is full of misery and agony. An agony that will last forever, Like a virus without a cure. I keep mumbling things under my breath.

Boredom hits me. But I still think that letting myself out of this room will do me good, It will make things horrible.

I remember when I feel bored, My grandmother always calls me to help her cook. My grandfather would ask me for a walk Until we reach a bakery near our Mansion.

The bakery is still there, but I haven't been for ages. I wonder what it looks like now. I change my clothes and walk to that bakery. I like their Croissant, every time my grandparents visit me they always bring me a bag of croissants from that Bakery.

I open the door and greet them. The Baker still remembers me he always said that I look like my grandmother. One of the staff also says the same.

"I like your croissant can I have two of those"

"Well, of course, My lady" They already have bread ready to go but they insisted on preheating it. They toss the bread into the oven for a minute.

I stay here for a bit and feel the mood of the bakery. There's no customer at this hour.

"I remember you always come here when you were a kid, you're with your Grandpa whenever you're here"

"Good old times," I said while remembering everything that happened in my childhood.

The worst part of my childhood is when both of my Grandparents died at the same time. I don't if it's a coincidence that they both die on the same day.

I still remember my Grandmother's final words, 'The woods are where the miracle came from". Even now I don't know what's special about the woods or what miracle it has.

"You know your Grandmother ran away at your age," The Baker said, and it took my interest.

"Tell me about it"

"I don't know more about it, But I and your grandmother are close"

"One day she always said that there's something in the woods"

"Until the day before her disappearance, She ran away. Her parents and all of the guards are trying to find her in every inch of the woods".

" Three days after she came back"

"That's all I know"

This story took my interest I wanted to know more about it. But that's all he now. To think about it why did Grandma run away.

"I know you're asking why she ran away, well no one knows"

After staying for a few minutes, having a that with the Baker or the owner. I bid my farewell to them. I start roaming around the area I haven't thought of walking here again could feel this relaxing.

I remember, I saw my Grandpa hide something around here. But it's long ago and I couldn't even remember it.

It's some kind of jewelry, he said that it's special to him, The piece of jewelry helps him. In what way?
