The Lost Flame

Chapter 5: The image begins to be distinguished

Even if there were similarities, she was sure that they were not the same person. Evenso, the disappearance of the princess continued to haunt my mind, as so much timehad passed and no one had any trace of her. How is it possible to make a girldisappear? She had not died, but the flame that united Iri, I was thinking, it could nothave disappeared by magic, but it was possible, although surely the inspection of theRoyal Navy detectives must have already thought about it, but I would never rule outthe possibility.

 From this, who knows what kind of magic those who had taken herknew, those spells must be very powerful.I was determined to take the investigation into my hands, I knew I shouldn't getinvolved but this was bigger than me... The princess was Iri's future, without the flameof the phoenix, Iri could die, the magic would die, moving away from the paintings, Icontinued to watch the corridors carefully, attentive to any noise, I greeted somemaids, who returned the greeting, after having been inside the castle I went out to thegardens, catching a glimpse of Rena's group of companions and her in the center,when They saw me, they brought her towards me smiling and giggling, they practicallythrew her into my arms and I grabbed her by the waist so she wouldn't fall.- Hello beautiful – he smiled sweetly looking into her eyes, she blushed quite abit looking at me – Are you okay or did the cat get your tongue? – When sheheard me say that she blushed even more than she already was and then shelaughed and to provoke me she brought her face closer to mine, surprising me– I think the cat did eat your tongue, pretty – I swallowed dryly and blushedwhile Her colleagues whistled at us and our eyes connected, there was only usnow and I murmured – It definitely wasn't a cat... -I rubbed our noses – I have togo back to work, precious – she wrapped her arms around my shoulders –Really? – I nodded although I did not want to let her go – Yes – she looked at metenderly and then kissed my cheek – Go, I won't keep you anymore... – I smiledwithout letting her go and kissed the edge of her lips and then let her go – I loveyou – I said to walk away and continue watching .At the end of the day we all went to the showers and when we came out I was wearingpants and a turtleneck top, without sleeves, I put on my short boots and a jacket andleft the Academy heading towards my grandparents' house, when I felt someones armssurrounded my waist, surprised I tried to turn to see who it was thinking that they hadbeen one of my classmates trying to play a joke on me but when I saw the flashes ofred hair I laughed a little and just caressed her hands – Hello again – she murmuredsomething but I couldn't hear it – Sorry, did you say something? – Finally he removeshis face from my back and whispers into my neck – Y-You looked very good inuniform... -I blushed but laughed – I know you couldn't take your eyes off me, darling,neither you, nor your friends – take a from her hands and I kissed her and my eyeslooked at her with a certain shine – When should you go back to university? – Shelooked at me and then sighed – Is it wrong if I say I want to stay? – he separated fromme with a sad face – I don't want to come back in two days, I want to stay here withyou – he whispered the last thing but I heard it and understood it, so the blush becamevery noticeable on my face, I tried to cover it with a hand and look away – Aww, howcute Serena. Do you want to kill me with a heart attack, honey? – She laughed andcontinued making a tender face, provoking me and I, red as a tomato, covered my faceand said – Oh no, my friend is pretty and tender – she said, making her now the oneblushing – O-Hey, it's not Just by yourself, you are ashamed of the faces I make – Ilaughed and kissed her cheek, and hugged her tightly – If you really want to stay,maybe I can transfer you here, I think they would allow it, and if you need it I will put ina good word for you. You... - I said all this close to her ear and I felt her heat and herheartbeat increased – I just want you to be happy – she nodded and then looked at me– I'll give you an answer in the New Year, do you think so?– I believed it was fair to giveher enough time to think carefully about what she would do with her future, what shewanted to be and what her goals would be to complete her path, I accompanied her toher cabin, her companions were spying through the curtains, when I saw them, Ilaughed and greeted them, you see that I greeted them, they blushed and left there, Isaid goodbye to Rena to return to my house, I arrived exhausted, happy but above allwith thousands of questions about the conjectures I had made about the princess.
