I know I said that I should distant myself from his highness but...his warm embrace makes me feel easy and comfortable. All the thoughts I had in mind, disappeared as soon as he open his arm for me

"Your highness---" My brother called his highness and saw us hugging each other, "Oh, I-I'll just talk to you later."

I gently push his highness away, he tried to act normal in front of us

"No, it's okay." He said

"Ah, my father wish to see you for a bit, his highness." Elliote said

"Alright."

His highness stared at me for a second, I smiled at him then he went outside

Elliote suddenly walk towards me and whispers,

"Do you like his highness?"

"What are you saying? He was just comforting me."

"Your ears are red."

"Go away!"

"Ah, our lady Eloise is in love, should I tell father?"

"Hey!"

Elliote smiled at me, "I was just kidding"

That jerk!

his highness and princess Shae went home, so we bid them farewell.

I went to the garden, Augustus is not here today, he was in capital for some reason

I decided to train on my own. I picked up my arrow and bow and hit the target. I'm still weak in this level, I pull two arrows and see if I can hit the target properly but I failed. I tried it many times but I can't hit the center. This is hard

"What are you doing?" Elliote asked

"Training."

He sat down, "You know, I'm in love with her highness."

I looked at him, "So? It's pretty obvious, brother. You know each other since childhood,"

"Be honest with me, Eloise, do you like his highness or not?"

"I told you, he's just comforting me earlier."

"But I think his highness feel different. He look like he doesn't want to let you go earlier." He uttered

"What?"

"Nothing, I better head inside, I still have work to do,"

He head inside the manor, I picked up my arrows and tried to hit the center

I should get that thing out of my head, I better prepare my body for the upcoming battle than roaming around pretending that everything is okay.

I have to know the reason why I was arrested and killed that day.
