The Crimson General Desires no Prince! (GL)

Chapter 7: Everyone's Support.

The following chapters will be a flashback years before, to help the readers understand the crown princess' goals before their engagement. 

Chapter 7: Everyone's Support.

The Ultimatum was announced.

"Tch!"

Rowan began running towards her room, wiping her tears away doing her best to stop it. Perhaps this place didn't have much fun memories with her father, but the servants who've been taking care of her and her older sister will be left all alone once she leaves.

"Rowan!"

She could hear Aveline's desperate voice and footsteps trying to catch up with her.

Step! Step! Step!


The steps were fast and heavy, the girl didn't stop calling out to her little sister. "Rowan you don't have to leave-! Please we can still talk to father and tell him you're sorry! That you're not leaving me like this-! Rowan, please listen to me!"

Rowan couldn't say anything towards her cries and pleads to stay, it was obvious what her father intended- that he doesn't need a daughter who wants to enlist in a military career then so be it!


'I finally found a place where I belong and I won't let father take it away from me, no matter how many noblemen with good background and prospects he gives I cannot accept to be married or tied down.' (Rowan) was dedicated to making sure to repay her debt towards the crown princess. Enlisting in the military, learning how to fight and be one of the knights of the kingdom would be enough-!

"Hear me out!"

"I can't."

Rowan opens the door to her room, finding a bag that could fit all of her necessary belongings in.

Clothing, memories and money. She wishes she could take a sword from the knight's armory but she didn't have the key or permission to do so.

"I'll buy a new sword when I get to the academy."

She wasted no time in leaving, all the other servants watched her pack everything and leave without even saying a word.

"W-What's happened to Miss Rowan? Is she leaving?"

"I don't understand why she is leaving?"

"Did the Lord of the house and her argue with one another?"

The maids scurried and all didn't know what to do except some of them were very much indebted to Rowan, thinking of how they can help the other servants and began packing a few food for her to take- hoping that they wouldn't be too late by the time she left.

"Please don't leave me, Rowan. I'll be miserable without you- in this god forsaken house you're the only reason why I've kept everything together!" (Aveline) pleads with her one last time, sobbing as she wipes the tears running in her eyes- blocking the exit door of Rowan's room. "Y-You're... my little sister."

Rowan's heart felt like it was going to be squished into a hundred pieces seeing her elder sister crying for the first time.

She decides to place her trunk into her bed and comfort her sister. With her crying and having soft sobs, Rowan wrapped her arms around the girl and started to reassure her that everything will be alright. "Do not cry, be strong and once I am successful- I'll buy a house. Somewhere we can live a peaceful life if you ever need shelter."
