Forgotten Man Of My Dreams.

SCENT

CHAPTER ONE

I remember it all too well that last night I slept in my room on my comfortable bed, but what in the world is this place? Why is it moving?.

I stood up to figure out where I was, but as soon as I tried to get up, I heard a creepy voice.

"SHE GOT UP; DON'T LET HER ESCAPE!!"

As I heard those words, I was in deep thought about why in the world I am in a shady carriage with boxes filled with yarn. Where in the world am I right now?.

I was thinking about it when suddenly a middle-aged man who looked like someone who hadn't showered for years appeared right after my eyes. His big, sweaty palms, which were directed towards my face, were getting closer to my eyes. Then, out of nowhere, I heard another charming voice that said,

"It looks like somebody is in trouble.".

I moved immediately to seek help from that gentleman; I banged on the carriage window where I saw him. A noble man-well, I felt in love at first sight.

The disgusting kidnapper held my waist as I tried to scream to that gentleman to get his help in escaping and going home.

Now that man had a sharp, pointy knife stick on my throat, I felt like even if I gulped in my saliva, it would dice off my neck. He held my waist as if he would break it if I tried to move. That man was as huge as a titan in fairytales.

And for me, I'm just a girl. My dress was lighter as compared to what I'm forced to wear daily. I thought maybe I had a chance against this huge barbarian. My father taught me enough self-defence because the empire will survive only if I do.

I'm the only Rose of the Empire.

I lifted my arm and powerfully struck my elbow against my opponent's intestine, which made him lose the grip and he threw me out of his hands at the carriage door. I flew out of the carriage along the door because it had already been falling apart since the beginning. I was about to hit the rock-y hill on my face but a big, veiny hand caught me in time, and the first thing I did was smell a woody, floral, and spicy scent.

I panicked and opened my eyes. It was that noble guy from before.

"Got you" in a flirtatious tone and smiled.

His face was so close to mine that, in a moment, my face felt hot.

He chuckled after he saw my flushed face.

"It looks like they have ran away, ma-lady."

I tilted my head to look at the road, and in relief, I rested my head on his rock-hard chest. Within a few seconds, I realised where I was.

I was in his arms because he caught me when I flew out of the carriage. I started to kick my legs.

"P-P-Put me down." I was flushed.

"I apologise, ma-lady; I had completely forgotten the fact that I'm holding you in my arms." He looked sincere when he said that.

He made me stand on the ground.

"May I know how you ended up without your footwear?" He put his hand into his pockets.

I was out of words when I realised that my shoes were not on my feet. And the dress that I was wearing had no corset or heavy embroidery, which makes it look elegant. In short, I looked like a peasant.

"....." I blankly stared at my feet.

He took off his cloak and offered me to wear it.

"Well, if you don't mind, ma-lady, I would suggest you wear it, because..."

I didn't let him finish his sentence and wore his cloak; the scent was even stronger in it.

He offered me a ride to the town since we were in the middle of a forest.

But the problem was that he only had one horse with him, which he was riding earlier. He lifted me up because I was wearing a dress and made me sit on the saddle and sit behind me.

"I'm extremely sorry, Ma-Lady, but you will have to share the ride with me because the town is far away.".

It was no problem for me since I rode horses with my escort.

I nodded my head.

The horse neighed.

The fifteen-minute ride was silently finished. He jumped off the horse to put me down.

"I can't go further now; I hope you can find your way back home. If not, come back here right away. I will guide you home.".

"Thank you so much, sir." I looked back at him as he was climbing back on the horse.

"You are most welcomed." He leans forward to kiss my hand.

"May I ask your name, young master?"

He smiled at me.

''PRINCESS??'' voice in the background

"It's... ma-lady see you; it's time for you to go."

"PRINCESS??? "voice in the background

All I could hear in the background was my assistant's voice. But how is she here???

"Wake up, the rose of the empire; Princess His Highness wants to have breakfast with you.".

My eyes opened out of shock as I sat up on my bed and looked around crazily. It was my chamber where I slept last night.

I was lost.

"What I saw was that dream again!!!!" I screamed out of sadness.

"What dream, your highness?"

"WHAT WAS HIS NAME? He told me just now."

''....''

"HIS FACE I SAW IT AGAIN TODAY.".

"....."

I couldn't recall his face or name; it was all blurred in my memories.
