This did make Seraphine happy, considering how Sharon in the novel had no one to rely on.
There was certainly fear inside Seraphine that slowly she will be drifting away from Sharon, but she was aware that was foolish. The bond she had with Sharon was beyond friendship.
As they went outside, Seraphine noticed how the ladies gathered under the shade. While having some snacks, they discussed on recent affairs while gazing at their surrounding at times.
Seraphine moved over with Scarlett and Sharon to take a seat there. While Sharon got into a conversation— even Scarlett had small talks here and there— Seraphine wore a pout on her face while she stared at the men.
They were indeed lucky.
If only her gender was different, she wouldn't have to sit here, bored and envious. Seraphine bit on the biscuit in her hand while she thought that.
Just when
Laurel truly didn't give Seraphine a chance to doubt her feelings towards Lyle.According to reliable sources, Laurel spared no effort in inviting her brother for various occasions or visiting places where her brother would be present.Laurel even used the King to pressurize her brother and her status in order make it difficult for her to brother to avoid. Of course, someone as sly as her brother wouldn't get trapped by tricks of Laurel.This was why, Laurel's pursuit remained fruitless. Seraphine had to admit that Laurel's persistence was one that should be praised. After all, not everyone was able to maintain through this perseverance.If it wasn't for Laurel looking for trouble with her every few days, she would have obviously been persuaded by Laurel. As for Lyle, he was indeed too hard hearted to remain unmoved despite everything.On other hand, it's understandable. Laurel w
A while had passed since the competition had started, and Seraphine was bored beyond words. It didn't take her long to get up from her seat and make her way to the stables.Seraphine didn't have much experience when it came to riding horses. In the beginning, she was enthusiastic about learning one, but later on, it was painful to her, so she didn't put much effort into it.However, she still had skills when it came to it.Even though Seraphine wasn't allowed to hunt or go deep into the forest, it would be possible to roam around for her with the horse nearby, and that would be better than sitting like this.However, before Seraphine was able to reach the stables, Noah blocked her path, and raising one of his eyebrows, he questioned, "Just where do you think you are going, Lady Seraphine?"Seraphine smiled and answered, "Noah, don't worry! I won't be reckless enough to enter the
Seraphine had Noah following after her as she rode around the forest. Although there was no need for it, Seraphine knew how paranoid those surrounding her could be when it came to her.As expected, although first couple of minutes were comfortable, it got tough to sit on the horse after a while, and in order to feel the thrill, she increased her speed.She heard Noah's warning and paid no mind to it. The warm breeze blew past her as the horse moved faster, and she laughed.The feeling was akin to being chased by Noah, and unbeknownst to her, she was slowly beginning to enter into the forest. Following that, Seraphine heard no sounds behind her, and an ominous feeling rose inside her chest.Turning her head back, she was startled to find Noah wasn't there. With his expertise, he would have no difficulty in keeping up and following her.This could only mean one thing, and this caus
Seraphine began to curse in her mind as her horse started to hasten its pace and nothing she did was able to bring the animal under control.It was as if the horse was deeply triggered and frightened.Her heart began to beat rapidly, and Seraphine wondered whether or not to jump from the animal. Who knew where this horse would lead her to?But the problem was that the forest only turned denser as the horse moved forward, and if she chose a wrong moment to jump, it could get fatal.Moreover, with all the branches sticking out, she had to be careful in avoiding them and thus, had a hard time thinking of appropriate responses.A groan escaped her mouth as a branch scraped against her neck, and it could have potentially been life endangering if it wasn't for her timely dodge.The other problem lied with the fact Seraphine wasn't incredible when it came to riding
Luckily, for Seraphine, she had her sword with her, and this did give her a sense of security although it wasn't much. Not everything could be handled by a sword.After confirming the horse wasn't breathing anymore, Seraphine first took in her state. Couple of wounds were present on her body, and her ankle had a soreness around it.Her clothes were torn around at certain places. Fortunately, she wasn't bleeding deeply or else she would be at a loss on how to do first aid.Elliot probably wasn't invincible, and that's why time would take for him to be actually aware that she was injured. Of course, she was giving him the benefit of doubt.There was a high chance he was having fun having her suffer and would only rescue her when she was at the brink of death.Then, she moved on to observing her surroundings. Everything around her was eerily silent, and not even a creature could be
Countless thoughts ran in her mind as she walked forward, and she was starting to get scared. Once again, she cursed the female lead halo on her head.Seraphine patted her chest in order to calm herself down and mumbled, "It's fine, Seraphine. Even though you experience traumatic shits, you have great luck! All of this will get better!"That's when, she took in a deep breath, and as she separated some vines, then stepping forward, she spotted a lake. This caused her to grin widely.She was beginning to get thirsty!However, what put her in a brighter mood was the surroundings. It was absolutely beautiful.Fireflies roamed around, illuminating the area. There were wild flowers of various colours and shapes growing around. Couple of bioluminescent mushrooms were growing on the sides, and each was in a different shade.Vines could be seen hanging downwards, and
Sweat dripped down Seraphine's forehead as she moved her sword around. The techniques learned by Blair were different from the ones Seraphine had practiced previously.Some of Seraphine's method were in the style of Vougeious family, and in order to not seem suspicious, Seraphine tried her best to apply Blair's ways smoothly.At the same time, this did get her mind off of many things. Seraphine did have exceptional control over her emotions, and because of this, all the depressing thoughts were out of her mind.It was as if she felt truly apathetic. Even her sword didn't give her the thrill it usually did.As Seraphine stabbed her sword into the tree, deep breaths escaped from her, and she supported herself by holding onto her sword. It seemed that she had overexerted herself as her ankle began to hurt tremendously.It seemed her rash actions had worsened the condition. But at le
"Fair enough. I would love to chat with you more, but unfortunately, work calls for me," he vocalised.Seraphine nodded.If she was still Seraphine, she would be quick to befriend this man. But as Blair, she couldn't take the risk.Following that, their training was done, and Seraphine knew their squad would be handed a new mission as this was finished. The leader is the one responsible for relaying their mission to them and allocating the tasks.It was because the leader sabotaged Blair lots of times that she didn't manage to receive any recognition for the job she did until now. It wouldn't be going too far to say her teammates were incompetent in comparison to her.Seraphine wasn't planning to get taken advantage of by her teammates like this, but she wasn't able to think of a way out of this.°°°Cornered, Seraphine stared
