Love, what exactly is that emotion? Some believe that it was the biggest blessing of the world while others preach that it is a sin that hurts for centuries until love turns into ashes. But for Aurelia, she did not witness that bliss yet and the pain it brought was not gut wrenching but it left her soul empty.
She stared at the man who promised to marry her. The man who had smiled at her as if she was the most beautiful girl in the world. Who had cherished her and smiled at her that her heart raced faster. Now… he is nothing but a cold body.
All she felt was numb. Tears did not come like before. But she could not take her gaze away from his face. As if he would stand up and laugh at her for believing such a crass joke. Garrison would never kill him. He was a prince, the first prince. No one would ever kill him.
But she stood there until she was dragged away by her family and his cruel joke did not end.
