ALORA EMBRY

"Lady Alora..."

"Are you the one who capture me? tell me honestly and I will spare your life when I get out from here."

"No." I look at her and rolled my eyes. The person who showed up was Leticia, she was wearing a white dress and she was holding a basket. Looking at her right now she looks like a saintess, I sighed when she unlocked the bars. I do look like a prisoner.

"Then who, do I look like I am happy with my situation right now?"

"I'm sorry, but this was an order to keep you lock here."

"You can let me go; you can do it right?"

"I can't, I made a promise." I groan and sit on my bed she put down the basket and closed the bars again. "I'm sorry that you experience this, but trust me Lady Alora this is for your own good."

"Who are you to decide what is good and bad for me?" she tries to open her mouth but I stop her, I know that she will just apologize.

"How many days since I was locked up here?"

"Three months, My Lady not days." I clenched my fists and nodded. Three months then I am unconscious for two months? Now I know why my legs were asleep.

"I see."

"I will see you again next week, is there something you want?"

"I want to be free."

"You know I cannot do that. Do you need desserts, I will bring some when I came back."?

"Don't bother."

"Then I will take my leave now."

"Leticia, how is the war going?"

"Do not worry, our knights are capable of defeating Wren. Just take a rest and forget that there is a war happening."

"Do you really think I can do that?"

"Yes, you will... you needed to do it."

"What a crap." She just smiled at me and gently bow her head before saying goodbye. I watch her close the doors and punch the pillow once again.

"Argh! For my own good, what the hell is that!"

When I calm down I get the basket she left and saw some flowers there, there is also a book and a letter, bread and a bottle of wine? I open the bottle and smell it, yeah, it was wine. I get my cup and pour some wine as I read letters.

To Alora Embry

How are you doing there? I hope you are still sane, I know you'll get mad at me but I was glad you are safe there far from war. Just wait there, I'll see you soon. I miss you.

-Damien Lastair Alaric

I read the last three letter and it was from my younger brothers, asking how I am doing. They sent three letters because I wasn't replying at all. And base on their letters they do not know that I was not on the battlefield.

I drink all the wine that night and I was disappointed when I was still fine after that. I stayed up all night reading their letter again and again.

Just wait there, I'll see you soon. I miss you. -Damien Lastair Alaric. Just wait there, I'll see you soon. I miss you. -Damien Lastair Alaric. Just wait there, I'll see you soon. I miss you. -Damien Lastair Alaric.

I keep on reading the last part until I was dissatisfied. How come they decide for me what should I do? This is the one I hate most, them looking down on me, they will see me as a lady. That's it.
