Sara stared at Eren’s retreating back as he left her room, reaching the door, he and the black-haired girl exchanged a strange look before he left the room, the girl then sighed and walked inside, closing the door behind her.
Sara, for some reason expected the girl to be just like those rude priests who couldn’t stand to be in the same room as her, however, she turned to her with a very polite smile, placed one foot in front of the other and bowed ever so slightly, Sara watched the act with baffled eyes, she knew all about the courtesies and the formal way to great someone, but the way Geraldine did it made hers look like a duck attempts to get up, Geraldine was so steady and graceful, her back remained straight as a wall, only her head move in an elegant and slow motion before it rose again, her feet were placed in a way that gave her whole body a defined silhouette even behind her puffy skirt.
“Good evening Miss.” Geraldine greeted with a smil
Eren stared at the silver haired girl as she ate her food happily, savoring each bite, she tried to hide her enjoyment out of decency as it wasn't so lady like to eat much but her transparency betrayed her, she was way too obvious and pure for her own good, not that he could blame her considering the kind of life she had, the sight of her face and eyes as she stared at the night sky for the very first time was engraved in his memory for the rest of his life, a pure joy of something everyone else took as normal, like an innocent child looking at a magician's show in a croud of adults, seeing her like that, he felt a strange feeling washing over his heart, he somehow wanted to offer the kid more cotton candy just to be able to see his priceless expression and sparkling eyes, she looked so beautiful and breathtaking in that moment, wearing her innocence and transparence like a halo, she looked truly out of this world, he couldn’t imagine what kind of life the poor thing must have
Eren laid on his back while staring at the ceiling, he couldn’t remember the last time he slept in that house, probably never, he sighed as he caressed the arm of the naked girl laying next to him, also awake and thinking…Eren knew Geraldine was upset, he knew she couldn’t understand why was he treating the silver haired girl the way he was, truth is, he didn’t understand why either, he convinced himself it is all a part of his plan, that she was only the final pawn in his chess board, but a small part in the back of his mind scoffed at him mockingly, telling him he wasn’t fooling anyone…“Why did you hug her?” he heard her ask in a quite voice, unlike Sara’s, Geraldine’s voice was always confident even when low, it was a reflection for the kind of woman she was, strong and reliable and he loved that about her for he was never a fan of weaklings.“You already know, Gera…”, he
Katherina stared calmly at the king, trying to conceal her emotions under a cold façade, it was equally painful for her to see her beloved husband in such a state, Edard was always a dignified man and a dominant king with a powerful presence, to witness him like that, looking like a wounded animal struggling to attack what he thought was his predator wasn’t the best sight for her eyes…“What have you done to me?” Edard asked in a small voice while his wide eyes stared at the bloodied bandage above his knee, right where his now amputated leg used to be, he refused to believe it at first, telling himself he was dreaming, that all of this was but a nightmare but the pain was too real to be made by imagination, and so was the bitter truth.“I saved your life...”, At her sudden words, the king glared sharply at his wife, thinking she was mocking him but he was met with nothing but an utterly serious face…The king st
“Not there!” Sara exclaimed, unable to hold her loud giggle, the kitchen was already a mess and they were still far from succeeding in making anything edible, at her request, Eren asked the maids to not come as she wanted to be the one cooking, it was the least she could do, after all, her good friend had been sheltering her, feeding her, and providing her with everything she needed without asking for anything in return, Sara always hated that feeling of liability, of depending on others, but unlike her father, her friend didn’t have any obligations towards her, he was giving her everything without asking for anything back and she didn’t like it, she didn’t like using him that way although he had assured her that she was giving him everything by being around and making the quite house alive with her presence, she did suggest that she goes back to the shack only to be met with absolute refusal as he felt better that way with her being under his careful w
Unable to keep her mouth closed, Sara stared at her reflection with wide eyes and dropped jaw, for a few seconds she couldn’t believe the person in the mirror was none other but herself.Looking at towards Geraldine who chuckled a little, she voiced her question only for the black-haired girl to confirm it and Sara finally understood why did it take that long to get ready, at first, Geraldine made her take a long scented bath, replacing her usual jasmine essence with roses and lavender one, she then used several cylinders to curl her hair, the strands were pulled too tight, and once taken the shapes of beautiful loose curls, Geraldine applied some sort of transparent cream on it before gathering it in a beautiful updo, and the fringe prolapsed on both sides of her face like silky curtains. Her makeup was kept soft and elegant to not hide her natural beauty, Geraldine wanted to see how would the silver-haired girl look with some bold red lipstick but it wouldn’t ha
The ride to the royal palace wasn’t long, and it wasn’t the chattiest either, For the young couple in it sat in comfortable silence, each having his own thoughts, his own worries, and fears that didn’t want to burden the other with, it was one of the rare moments when they chose to remain silent in each other’s company, being so close with their knees were almost touching was more than enough, for words were no longer needed to connect them.It barely took two hours before their carriage reached the capital, traveling the forest in the time of dusk was quite the experience for Sara, especially with how beautifully the colors of green, gold, and orange have blended, but it was still not as breathtaking and overwhelming as the sight of the capital and the castle. Her eyes stared out of the window where her small palms were placed.Sara never saw so many people gathered in one place people, and definitely not with such diversity, there were a
Sara was surprised by the sudden contact, forgetting about how alarmed she felt not a second ago when all the lights were extinguished, and then how scared she was when she sensed that creepy chill she felt before when she looked into the demonic gate. But once the soft cold lips were pressed on hers, all her fears, all her defenses and senses were, she didn’t need to see who was kissing her for she was very familiar with those cold lips, only that she always felt them on her hands only.she stood frozen as his palms rested on each side of her face to stop her non-existing attempts to deny him, he wasn’t willing to give her that choice, not with how those lips of her looked, so delicious and inviting, he had fought the urge to claim them for so long that it became painful to resist, especially with the way she looked at him while saying those terrifying three words, so beautiful, so loving, and so willing to give herself to him in ways she was yet way too in
Sara stared at the beautiful redheaded princess with wide terrified eyes, her face was drained from blood once she heard her say those words.She was meeting her actual sister for the first time.“Bring her a cup of water.” The princess said and stepped forward towards the pale girl, looking genuinely worried, at first she was only doing her diplomatic duty as a princess by reassuring and looking after all the noble guests while the matter was being investigated, it was not confirmed yet but the darkness that took over was probably of a demonic origin, and for that to happen in the royal castle during the coronation was a big blow to the Yoren name and the whole kingdom’s reputation. Thus, she was obliged to check out on all the guests all while secretly pick up any rising rumors among the noble ladies and redirect them in what serves her family instead of creating additional disturbance.These were not the best times and Nara knew it, and even
