Chapter 16 - Extra: What She Left Behind (Part 1)

In a pure white room where the ground is littered with broken vases and torn sheets, there is a lady dressed in a wrinkled white dress, messed up unkept strawberry blond hair, crying as if the world has ended.

From one look you could guess she was an unparalleled beauty, one that could make many men fall for, but currently it would be hard to discover it with the red marks on her eyes from all the rubbing, and tears dripping all around her face.

Her sobs could bring pain to many who hear it, carrying all the grievances in her heart that the one she's mourning for has brought. You could determine the person she has lost isn't just someone ordinary, but someone who she has kept close to her heart.

A person could feel jealous of the person who this beautiful girl is mourning for. Who wouldn't want to be treasured by someone this gentle and beautiful.

The girl slouched in one corner of the room just clinging onto her knees with her arms for some self comfort in her time of need.

She has lost an important person to her, a person who though not of same rank, has kept her company for years, someone who she could talk to at tea parties without the fake expressions hiding their greed.

What has surrounded this girl for her entire life were those who seek to flatter her, use her, befriend her for personal gains, but only one person other than her family has faced her with nothing but their true feeling, only one person didn't seek anything from her, only one person who though never thought of her as a friend, she could call her one.

However that person is gone...

As the girl's painful "Hiks" are reverberating through the castle, a knock came from the door to her room followed by a male voice.

"Elena, I know you're feeling sad ever since her body was discovered in that condition, but you can't keep yourself locked up starving yourself"

Hearing the male voice through the door, the girl never made any reaction, just continuous sobs

The words of the male didn't bring comfort but an influx of images that she didn't want to remember, a body who had bruises and blood riddled all over the body. Her friend that she knew met a terrible ending in a place nobody was around.

On the other side of the door lies two males, one being the person who knocked the door wearing expensive noble clothes, while the other wearing a knight' uniform.

The noble man sighed looking away from the door to face the knight "Fredrick, what do you think I should do during this situation, I know that Elena is depressed ever since she died, but I can't have her inflicting harm on herself like this"

The knight, keeping a straight face replied saying "Your highness, I believe that Princess Elena is in a very delicate state, she has lost something she treasures without any prior notice, it is best if we give her more alone time to settle her emotions"

The prince had a tired look "I never imagined that the woman would die immediately after she left for the forest, It's truly hard to believe that the talk we had a few days ago would be my last words to her"

"Noone, not even the king himself would think she would die this easily" The knight says depressed

The prince decided to give the girl who lost her precious friend time for her emotions to settle in, after-all it was her one and only confidant that died.

Noone in the outside would guess that the person who hides his emotions, plastering a playful facade in front of everybody, while eliminating those who oppose him, would be a caring brother, one who would feel hurt whenever his sister was hurt. The first prince really is two-faced.

Yet only one thing was on his mind while he walked away 'I never imagined we would be saying our goodbyes this early, It's kind of regrettable that I won't be seeing that face around anymore, It was truly nice to have met you Felice'

This man who is cold hearted towards anyone but his sister, met a girl that unlike the previous acquaintances of his sister, didn't have any malicious intent, but one of indifference.

A person who doesn't seem to care on what her surroundings were like, if it didn't affect her in any way, the lady herself would have done nothing.

In the last moment he saw her, he heard the straight faced, indifferent lady make a joke for the first time in front of him.

This was the only time she had beaked her indifference when he talked to her.

Usually the lady will hold her guard up against him and be vigilant or careful, but at that moment he felt he got to see a little of her character.

'Guess the vacation is longer than either of us thought....'
