The girl ran with all her strength. The black cloak waving fly in wind. Her breath came in short gasps and almost breathless. She had never had to use this much strength before. Because afraid that she wouldn't make it in time.
She made her way through crowds of people who shopping in the city. asking for directions and avoiding. The high gates of the city that stood in front of her, high above her head, was only confirmation that she was near her destination.
The summer sun shone strongly around her. She stopped at the city entrance. Clear purple eyes scan her surroundings. She didn't know that it's too late, not in time or he hadn't left yet.
If they apart like this , They might never see each other again. The girl understand his reason, know it's not his fault and she never confessed her feelings. He may not have the same feeling. Young girl holding her palm while tears filled the corners of her eyes.
"Lady Violet?"
"Felix.."
Suddenly , She turned around at the sound of his voice. The moment she see the person whom was looking for, tears nearly burst out. A young man leads a horse and carries his luggage , prepares for a long journey.
Luckily in time, she think. Violet walked a few steps before stopping about a meter away from him.
"Are you going now?"
"Yes, I will go."
The formal words he started using towards her as he got older irritated Violet every time. It highlighted many things between the two of them that couldn't possibly be true. It's not like childhood where they could live , play together, argue and joke with each other at ease.
"Then I wish you good luck." She put a smile on her face. "Have a safe trip."
"Yes, thank you. Lady, take care of yourself."
He smiled and bowed his head once. Then he pulling the rope , calling the horse behind him to follow. Violet pursed her lips tightly. She had planned to come say goodbye and it's done now.
As the duke's daughter, she should be diligent in making sure receives the engagement to royal family. Support brother and do as father's advice. Protect family , don't create problems. Move forward as planned.
Felix is pursuing the position with his abilities and has become a knight as he wishes. In addition, Duke Merrigan, who is her father, has already introduced the Baron family to the Clark family of him. After married , he will get a title.
Moreover, he had never appeared in Violet's dreams of the future. It indicates that Felix will not be around in her future life. Two of them just has to continue on their path as should...
"Felix!"
Owner of the name was about to walk past the edge of the city gate but he stopped. Felix looked behind and saw the young girl running towards him. The cloak that covered her was unveiled, revealing her reddened face. Her lip trembled as she tried to muster up courage.
"I-I love you!" Violet said loudly. "I love you, I love you all along."
