Pov ~ Reve
Lost in the departure of someone mysterious, I felt a strange connection even though I didn't know them. Suddenly, a voice called out, "Reve! Reve!" and someone was shaking my elbow. The enchantment broke, and I realized I had been standing still, not blinking for quite some time. It was Seraphina who had been trying to get my attention.
"Reve, are you okay?" she asked. "Yes, I'm fine," I replied. But Seraphina wasn't convinced. I smiled, gave her a side hug, and went to take orders from other customers. Out of nowhere, armed men surrounded the cafe, pointing swords at me with identical stoic expressions.
I, along with Seraphina, grandma, Orion, Finnian, and other customers, was surprised. The captain of the group came forward and declared, "The King has ordered to summon you right now. Cooperate, or we'll have to take drastic measures."
Grandma bravely stood in front of me, declaring, "She will not go anywhere." The man pushed her, and I watched her fall. With courage, I spoke up, "I'll come with you, but only if you promise not to harm anyone here." Turning to my loved ones, I assured them, "I might not remember everything, but I won't do anything to harm anyone. Don't worry; I'll come back soon."
After hugging Finnian, squeezing Seraphina's hands, nodding to Orion, and kissing grandma, I handed my apron to Seraphina. Taking one last look at the cafe, I stood with my hands tied by the man and followed the captain.
