“What is it, about her, that interests you so, Master Kenny?” Amelia asked me.
“Amelia. It isn’t something that can be said in words. All I can say is that she’s very precious to me” I smiled. How naïve. They wouldn’t understand even if I had a thousand words to explain what she meant to me.
“Then why is it that you tolerate that leech who roams about her?” James questioned.
“It is so that I can win her over. Luke is just a pawn for that goal. If I get rid of him, my girl would never forgive me” I said once more.
“How are you so certain, that she will choose you, master Kenny?” Nelson, one of my subordinates, asked.
“Because that is what is fated. It is destiny for Sarah and I to be together. Now if you’ll excuse me, I don’t want any more questions” like I said, even if I had a thousand words, they wouldn’t understand, because they’ve never felt the way I do.
They bowed down and left my room, where I sat on the sofa, outlining my glass which contained the champagne I was drinking. On the table, in front of me, lay a picture of Luke and Sarah. There was a scissor next to it. I picked up the scissor, twirled it in my hand, and let it down, blade first on the picture. It punctured the middle of Luke White’s face and pinned the photograph to the mahogany table. I didn’t want him around, and soon, Sarah wouldn’t either. It was fated. It was what was destined to be. Sarah was, after all, mine. She will always be mine.
The only part of the whole charade which was displeasing was the fact that I was to distance myself from her until the past had been uncovered.
“Sarah,” I sighed “my nightingale. You do such cruel things. Promise me, you’ll forever be with me”
I couldn’t stand it anymore.
“There is a reason I gave you the name ‘Nightingale’. Because that’s what you are to me. My nightingale, you do such bitter-sweet, such very, very, cruel things” I sighed, stood up and went out to my balcony. Love can do so many cruel things. It can destroy so many great people. It won't destroy me, though. With love, I will move forward. My people will eternally look up to me and Sarah will realize that she loves me to no end.
After the pleasant thought, I looked under the balcony at the beautiful garden the academy had provided for me. I smiled, he was downstairs.
“Luke” I called out to him “Pleasure. What brings you here?”
“What do you want with her?” he asked. His gaze was pained.
“Don’t worry. I don’t think that concerns you.”
“Yes it does. Sarah’s-”
“You’re asking me something that can’t be answered so easily, White. Please leave now, I believe my people are getting restless with your presence.” I gave him a cold stare. The authority should have scared him off.
“You have to answer me first” he forced.
Well, well. Isn't he the strongest pawn. All the more easy to sacrifice. It's a sad thought, that one of my own people might get sacrificed I thought to myself All that's necessary to get her, shall be done.
“Very well, you can come up stairs” I said and went out my balcony, and continued to go outside my dorm.
Luke stood at the stair-case which ended just before my dorm door.
“Yes?” I questioned.
“What do you want from Sarah?” he asked.
“Want from her? Nothing” I replied “She’s the love of my life, what else could I ask from her?” I grinned. Well, all formal manners of chatting stay within the council and with the government of my people. With Luke, I could talk however I wanted to. I hoped I didn't give off the old-fashioned, sleek-haired, villan type of look. I'm a good guy. Honest.
