Looking for her wasn't that challenging; eventually, I located the carriage and discovered her name was Ella. It seemed familiar, like a name I had heard before, and upon checking her profile, I realized she was the girl I had met in the woods.
I felt joyous because she was the one. It seemed as if fate wanted us to be close, and I couldn't wait to get to know her better.
I decided to gather more information from her, but what I learned shocked me. She was the legitimate daughter of my father's beta, and the woman I saw last night was her stepmother and stepsister.
I couldn't comprehend why the lady had to deceive and claim her daughter was her only child. I felt confused and genuinely wanted to learn more about Ella. Was that the reason she hesitated to share details about herself? Was she afraid I might judge her?
I rose from my seat, discarding the paper. I love her deeply and am determined to do whatever it takes to be close to her.
