Let's go our separate ways

Part 1

"Why...?!"

"Why are you so loved..."

"...Yet I was ABANDONED!!"

~~~

"Wake up!"

"WAKE up!!"

"Wake UP!!!"

"WAKE UP!!!!"

"WAKE UP!!!!!"

BANG BOOM BANG BOOM BANG

Gritting her teeth, muttering, "So noisy..." Flos blearily opens her eyes whilst wiping off the tears slipping down her cheeks

Releasing a sigh, Flos then slides closer to the window without the intention of leaving her bed to poke her head out a bit to let the person outside know: she has woken up, no thanks to him. What's with the ruckus so early in the morning? Flos feels a yawn coming and does nothing to stop it from happening.

"You are finally awake!" dear neighbour, his voice is still loud, "Quickly get ready! The carriage is bound to arrive soon, we can't be late and get left behind!"

Carriage... Speaking of, Flos sobers up very quickly as she recalls the plan for today...onward.

As a person with the power of [Wood], Flos chooses her profession to be a flower farmer. Through planting, growing, and cultivating the flowers, plus the cooperation with care from the family of florists next door, Flos has secured a source of income to raise herself.

Flos focus only on raising flowers to be sold to the kind florist neighbour. This neighbour might be her only customer, but this is still the job Flos inherited from her Father... Although her Father passed away early and didn't really have the chance to hand over this job to Flos himself. Nevertheless, circumstance being this way, Flos thinks it's not so bad being a flower farmer.

That is Flos's genuine feeling... Until the florist family next door's Son, who is also her childhood friend, used her flower to participate in a competition and won. Without informing anyone about this competition and that he participated in it beforehand.

And then, after receiving the prize money that has been taxed that could raise both families for decades without pressure, Flos personally received an invitation to go to the Capital from this little Village to meet this competition's sponsor. Because, surprise, the competition Flos's childhood friend participated in for the prize money was actually held by Her Majesty the Queen.

And so. The carriage from the Capital, sent by the Queen, is going to arrive today to take Flos, plus her childhood friend who is forced to go with her to accompany her by his family because this is all his fault and it's dangerous for Flos to leave the Village alone going somewhere unfamiliar, especially since Flos is going to the Capital to answer the invitation from Her Majesty the Queen.

This invitation is most probably sent to Flos, as the Champion of the competition, to fulfil a request for the Queen. Naturally, Flos will be paid properly for her service.

Even though he was reluctant to go when told off by his family, isn't this guy super excited to depart to the Capital today?

Flos washes her face and checks the luggage she packed last night. After that, closing and locking all doors and windows, Flos then makes her way to her neighbour's house for breakfast.

Seeing Flos entering their house carrying her luggage, the proprietress immediately turns to her Son, who is walking behind Flos, with a scowl. That idiot is humming lightly while having his arms crossed behind his head, walking very leisurely. Not gentlemanly at all!
