Asty sprinted faster than the wind when she finally sets her foot inside their village's entrance gate. It only consisted of a huge wooden bamboo fence with a gaping watchtower for wolves on two sides. 

She could hear those familiar chattering and commotion once again. The feeling of deja vu wallowed her entire mind as she could hear the booming and yelling of their marketplace. 

The sight of children running and lively vendor stalls appeared before Owl and Asty's eyes. They could see the folks trading and talking with each other. The laughing and yelling. 

"It is loud in here, huh." Owl spoke from beside her as they walked. 

"Mhmm! It goes on until sunset!"

    Chaol watched from the window as Asthenosthene walked towards Owl and smiled at him. He pretended to open the carriage's window and throw out the stick of cigarette, only to watch her clearly from the distance. He was filled with so much wariness and anxiety. It wasn't that he didn't trust Owl's intuition, but he felt like leaving Asty along with somebody like him was a mistake. Lana who was sitting opposite of him, decided to break the silence. It was always silent when Asty isn't around. "Lord Chaol?" The male's ravishing, deep hues deliberately swivels on the lowly maid. He then spoke in a low, deep tone. "What?" "Why did you allow me to go?" Chaol rolled his eyes and fixate

The Count will be picking me up in a few minutes." Noelle, Athena, and Mrs. Pickinns frowned. "Can you not ask for a delay even for just an hour, honey?" Athena asked her. Asty turned her back and pointed at the male who was leaning against the door in the tailor office. It was Owl. "Everything he says is absolute, Mother." Asty chuckled. Owl opened his eyes and glanced at the group. They seem to be wanting her to stay. He closed his eyes again, resting. "Are you sure that they did not h

With their head leaning against the benches, Yvonne could not help but snap at him for it."My Lord. It's ironic how you called us obnoxious earlier and yet now, you are tapping your feet like a drum. Do you hate us that much?"Chaol ignored her and stopped it."Thank goodness." Yvonne sighed.Owl did not seem to hiss at the woman.

    The bells rang from the distance. The woman with the bright orange hair stood behind the huge doors of the church. Her eyes were closed and a smile was evident on the woman's lips. Everything that she dreamed of was finally before her eyes. The moment had finally come. She opened her eyes and the doors finally parted ways. Her eyes fell to the long golden aisle that she so dreamt of walking one day. Beside it, on the benches, for all the people she loved and cared for. She felt her heart start pounding and racing faster and faster, when her bright persimmon orbs reached the center of the long corridor. There he stood, the love of her life, the apple of her eye, the man who taught her how to love. He had a smirk on his face and she just wanted to get over with that aisle wipe that smug grin off his face with a kiss. The music started. The harmonious synchronization of chorale brought everyone to their tears. Her mother who was standing also, in the aisle— staring at her beautif

    Asty was walking around the palace when she noticed something strange everywhere. The maids seem to be avoiding her and she did not seem to see a single sentry guarding the gates.Everyone seems to be very busy and every time she would greet them they would only turn away."That's odd." she told herself. "They don't really act like this to me before."She walked around and around and even brought herself into the garden. But there was not a single person around.What was going on, she thought.She couldn't even find her friends anywhere in the Palace. She had woken up with absolutely nothing but the chirping of birds. She looked around to see if there was someone she can talk to.Yvonne wasn't there, Chaol wasn't there. Even her brother was not there."Where could they all have gone to?"She noticed that the maids were stealing glances at her. She would look at them and wave but then they would only avoid her gaze.

The sun was before them, and they could feel it burning through their skin, but even so— their eyes were fixed on the blanket of flowers that seemed to flow against the wind."This is so beautiful." Lana commented.Asty smiled at her. "This is where my mistress is buried.""Why isn't she buried in a proper grave?""That is because this is what she requested. That is a part of her will to be buried under the field of dandelions, chrysanthemums, and daisies. She wanted to face the sun and the skies. She wanted to look at the blanket of stars as she rested. That is what she imagined."They smiled at her and walked towards the field."I think it is better if we leave you be." Chaol told Asty, Yvonne, and Robynn.

She stared at it for a long amount of time before wondering something in her head.Chaol reached out to her head and made it rest on his shoulders."Is something troubling you?" he asked her."No nothing at all." She told him. "I was just wondering a few things.""Like what?""They are not very pleasant things." She told him and smiled. "It's best if I keep it to myself.""You can always tell me about it. I won't mind." Chaol smiled at her. "Is it because of the battle?""Yeah." she nodded. "Polo was... in pain. I didn't know that he had to go through all that that's why he became the way he was.

"Good work today, boy. Your wife must be so happy to have you around."A blush escaped from the male's cheek. He scratched the back of his nape while looking at them.
