BELIZE P.O.V

two days had passed, after i received an Invitation from Royal seal of Lancaster Empire and was eventually telling the Night of coming-of-aged with Princess Valetta, where she turns 15 this year.

at first, i never thought of attending but realizing the central Setting of the story that main cast in "Beauty of Sadness" appeared even they're not paying attention in the Banquet.

"i should not missed the chance not to see them closely," since they become vivid in my memory for what they're looks like rather than a gossiped.

"Milady, are you sure not to wear from one of your accessories?" Erika asked with concerned look in her eyes.

as if she's confused with my sudden changed of hearts since i woked up from the past few days and become another soul. "Erika, i don't want to stand out in the banquet, since i don't plan to marry so soon." i responded politely.

which is hundred percent true, i didn't seek to marry that early. because when coming-of-aged ceremony nor banquet from a royal palace or from higher nobility was a great opportunity to find a marriagable partner.

"Pardon my impudent behavior, Milady." she sincerely bowed her head infront of me.

"You're forgiven Erika, i'm not offended since i didn't tell you beforehand,  i'm not looking for a marriage partner unless i fall inlove." i said with fifty percent half true and lie.

'as if i fall inlove?' after living my 20st century life, i never had a boyfriend because i am not sure what love is? the feeling of being inlove? will i had a chance to fall inlove? to whom? since the love i ever wished from my parents i never had.

"M-Milady,." i snapped out from being absent minded when i heard erika's sniffed having a teary-eyed with her darkness eyes.

"what's the matter Erika?"

"it's nothing Milady, you are really grown up." she spoke as if respecting my decision even we're around the aged.

"Erika let's become happy together and lived a comfortable life," i encouraged her with my one goal in life. "would you stay with me?" i asked her.

"Yes Milady! i will be with you wherever you go, even you get married, i'll be still serving you until the day that i die." she swore an ought.

"Erika you don't need to served me with your whole life, i want you to be happy and free." i hugged her without hesitation.

"M-Milady my only freedom is to served you since the day you picked me up and clothed me." she meant it.

the childhood days when the real innocent Belize saw her in the back alley and convinced her father to picked her up then Erika return the favor of Serving the Baron's manor and never complain doing household chores since she wanted to stay beside for Belize. that was a good side of Belize when she met Erika before.

"Thank you Erika for being my good and loving friend." i hugged her tight and that was the second time i felt another warmth.

meanwhile, after the heart-to-heart talked with Erika.

the Baron and Baroness accompany me outside where the horse-drawn Carriage that awaits for me, before began to go in the capital and after one hour had passed while riding the carriage. i departed into the main gate of Lancaster Empire.
