Your hand held the hem of the curtain, peeking outside of your moving carriage as it made its way towards the giant castle grounds
This is it you thought with gleeful excitementthe start of the game! and to think you nearly forgot about it! the sacrilege!
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
The castle grounds were nothing short of beautiful, standing tall overlooking the four corners of the kingdom, it exudes an aura of grandeur as you greedily take in every intricate details
"Whew" you whistled impressed by the castles appearance
"that's a castle" you exclaimed, nodding in agreement to your own factual statementsSuddenly a voice break through the air, causing you to yelp in surprise stumbling backwards almost tripping at the hem of your dress
Luckily Sylus was behind you, and with a swift graceful motion, grab a hold of your arm whilst his other hand snaked around your waist for support, he steadied you before you could lose your balance
"Careful now," he said leaning in on your ear, his voice coming out silky smooth "don't want you to get hurt now do we?"
"Oh thanks Sylus" you responded, Clutching his hand out of instinct
Wait what?!"SY— ," you mindlessly blurted, before catching yourself
"GRAND MAGNUS!" You yelled pushing yourself off of him nearly tripping twice before catching yourself"hm? What's with the title? did you forget my name already? You seemed comfortable saying it before," he mused taking a step closer to you, lowering his head making sure your eyes locked with his, a flicker of humour and curiosity danced in his eyes as he continued
"tell me, have we met before?"
A lopsided smirk appeared at the corner of his lips.Only a million times in game you thought, desperately searching for a way out of the awkwardness. Finally you forced out a laugh, saying
"N-no......" While avoiding eye contactSylus chuckled, leaning back up to his usual height and in a tone of mock disappointment, he said
"How unfortunate, do be careful next time, wouldn't want you falling for another guy again"Then he walked away, leaving you speechless as you watched him disappear into the castle
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
the banquet ran smoothly, Sylus and the three other love interests remained elusive, and you took full advantage of the situation, shovelling food into your mouth without a care in the world.
Your friend, bless her heart attempted to advice you on not overindulging your glutenous tendency, however you simply looked at her as if she'd suggested that you chuck a baby out the castle balcony
"I've been fasting the whole day to eat all these delicious food! If not me who will!," You exclaimed, gesturing towards the other nobles "they clearly have no interests in food!"
Your friend (bless her poor soul) rolled her eyes at you childish antics
"That's because they're waiting for the first dance to be over, you idiot"You paused, mid chew, processing her words, then you shrugged "nyot woke angnyone will ashk mwe fwo a hance"
(Not like anyone will ask me for a dance) you said through mouth full off food, Tara let out a disappointed sigh, pulling out a handkerchief before patting your mouth with it
"Geez y/n, Eat with your mouth closed"Sheepishly you obeyed, closing your mouth, mumbling an apology through mouth full of food
Despite your decent appearance, you of all people were aware of your own social background, the daughter of a merchant, whose family had recently purchased a viscount status, a status which served little in protecting you from sosial prejudice.
The blatant glare you received from others, simply because you dare stand beside the princess, was a daily reminder of your backgroundFinally, you swallowed your food, finishing your plate just in time for the lights to dim and the music to change
It's happening! You thought, excitement bubbling within you as you grabbed Tara's hand, pushing your way through the crowd to the very front of the line, your heart thumping with anticipation as the grand oak door slowly swung open
this is it!!!! Your eyes wide and sparkling, unable to contain your excitement you pointed your finger towards the top of the stairs, bouncing up and down with excitement
It's the intro screen!!!!!
