Y/n's POV:

Today was a lot. I have the impression that Charlise disfavours me, though really it's none of my concern. What would I do with her favour anyway? Build castles?

Just as I was about to lay in bed a faint thud resonated from my window. A smile tugged at my lips and my cheeks reddened as this was a sound far too recognisable. I rushed to open the hatch and let the creature enter. A pair of grey wings flapped past me to land on my bedside table, as I let a chuckle escape seeing it's eagerness. Carefully, I untied the string on its foot and retrieved the letter tied to the pigeon.

My sweet Y/n,

How long it's been since we last wrote, I've missed you dearly my Y/n. How have you been? What about your stepsisters and step mother? My dear Y/n you are my sun and the light of my life. Please remember your worth is far greater than anyone would possibly fathom except for me. Though fret not, soon your worries will cease to exist. I've found that Blaire has actually been hiding something worth tarnishing her  reputation. How I wish I could tell you my dear but alas, that's only possible if you were to write back to me. I hope to meet you soon my love and convey my affections in person.

Yours truly, Lumiere

I can just tell he was smirking the whole time while writing that.  I rushed to write back a reply. What could Blaire be hiding? This is my chance to ruin her. If its worth her reputation it's worth Lydia's too. With this I'll be able to live in peace. I couldn't help but smile widely as I tied the letter to the pigeon and watched it leave. Closing the window, I  went back to sleep feeling light.

This is my chance to turn my life around - my golden opportunity. Oh, thank you Lumiere, thank you thank you thank you!

........

A week had passed since the letter from Lumiere, my dear friend. I can't help but blush reminiscing him. He's been with me since I was young. We met once as kids and decided to write to each other since. He's my closest companion. I say we're friends but I'm not sure what we actually are. Yes, he's conveyed his love for me through paper and I've started to reciprocate those feelings but I feel a similar way towards Lucian making me conflicted. I keep all of Lumiere's letters locked in a box as keepsakes to read when I'm at my lowest. I feel warm just thinking about him. Currently he's abroad dealing with the conquering of Areque since he's a soldier - as mentioned in his past letters. Everyday, I hope for his wellbeing and health. If a long period of time would befall since his last letter, my heart would break fearing the loss of my Lumiere. There's no way I would come to know better.

That night I received another letter. Eagerly, I read it's contents. My smile fading and eyes widening.

How is this possible?

I wonder who Lumiere is?
