Did I hear that right?
I doubt this lady even knows my name as I haven’t given her a proper introduction. As I was too lost in her eyes, I was taken aback when Aurélie suddenly collapsed. My hand moving in instinct, I had caught her before her body could land on the hard ground. My knees instinctively buckled as her weight pressed against my forearm, She was unexpectedly light for her age. I couldn’t help but notice the ashes on the hems of her gown and the absence of any footwear on her feet. Her hair, too, was a mess, but despite all these imperfections, her natural beauty shone through. I found myself tracing the lines of her face with my eyes, getting lost in her beauty.

LARISSA AURÉLIE FARSULEIA I woke up from the sound of distinct chatter that reached my sensitive ear. I blinked rapidly, my eyes barely adjusting to the bright daylight and gave the window a hard glare, the sun’s rays pierced through it, prompting me to shut my eyes even more. I brought my arm to my eyes. I took a large breath through my nose before it came upon me what had happened last night. “I want to marry you.” The voice rang in my head as I gathered my hazy memories together, until it formed right in my head. Each time the phrase reverberated in my head, it seemed to grow more prominent.I furrowed my brows as my decision finally sinked in. I removed my arm from my eye and swiftly sat up, looking down at the unfamiliar bed I’m lying in.

Castle Fires Chapter 8— The Awaited Answer
LARISSA AURÉLIE FARSULEIAFestive crowds, with vibrant lanterns casting a glow across the scene, the people of Aurum are wearing vibrant colours. I couldn’t think straight, my mind still reeling from the horrors I had just witnessed a moment ago, as I tried to sink in the joyful atmosphere of the festival that surrounded me. I just saw the most terrifying sight a mortal could see, then the second I’m away, it’s a festival I’m in. I felt the cold, hard surface of the concrete ground, each step sending a pang of cold through my legs— I had taken off my heels a while ago to make running a bit easier. Ashes had accumulated on the hems of my nightgown, and my hair had become gritty and dull from the smoke. To others, I appeared as a homeless lady, getting stares every now and then. My gaze wandered absentm
Castle Fires Chapter 7— Whispers of the Wind
LARISSA AURÉLIE FARSULEIAThe sound of the leaves rustling against each other soothed me down. I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes, allowing the peace of the moment to wash over me. The warm glow of the sunset cast a pretty brown hue onto my hair, as the gentle wind tousled it softly. Honoria stood quietly by my side, letting me enjoy the moment. As I slowly opened my eyes, I was greeted by the sight of the sun setting on the horizon, its golden rays bathing me in a warm light. Something about nature really calms me—no matter how cruel life gets, it’ll always find a way to calm me down. It never failed to make me happy amidst the chaos in my mind. I still can’t forget how my father finally relented and agreed to renovate our garden for my sweet sixteenth birthday, after begging him a couple of times before he agreed to do so. When you think about it, the garden is almost the same size as our manor. As I got lost in my thoughts reminiscing the past, my feet brought me into a fiel
Castle Fires Chapter 6— Secret's out
LARISSA AURÉLIE FARSULEIA“You’re getting married?!” Honoria gasped as she stood up from her seat. My brows furrowed as I held my finger up to my lips, gesturing to her to be quiet. Understanding what I meant, she eventually composed herself and sat back down, calming her racing thoughts. “And you only found out from the person you’re getting married to?” She asked again, this time with a low tone. I let out a sigh and shrugged my shoulders. “That’s my point. I don’t know why my father would keep this from me.” I l
Castle Fires Chapter 5—"Those eyes..."
LARISSA AURÉLIE FARSULEIAI shivered as a chill ran through my body, caused by the cold wind fluttering in through the carriage window. I took a peek from outside and my gaze was drawn to the trees that lined our route to the venue. The lights of the Aurum Palace were visible, casting a warm and inviting glow against the dark night skyline. “Look, Aurélie, we’re here.” My father, sitting opposite me in the carriage, raised his hand and pointed outside, gesturing for me to lean forward and take a closer look at the scene.I followed my father's prompt and leaned further forward. My heart raced with anticipation as the carriage rolled forward, the last trees giving way to reveal the imposing portcullis that marked the entrance to the palace. As soon as the carriage crossed through the gate, the sounds of classical music became clearer. I peered out of the window, watching intently as guests streamed towards inside, I can even sense their confident auras all the way from the carriage.
