Staring outside to the fields, grass and trees showered with nourishments from the rain . The delighted looks of the evergreen leaves, how I wish I could show my tears of joy like the clouds above, the lovely teardrops of the rain.
I roamed around the manor since Crimson had to go attend a meeting with another noble family, I looked around and I am always surprised to see how massive their manor is. I walked from one corridor to another until I saw one bedroom, I walked towards it and wanted to take a peek inside but the maid saw me and said," That's the Young master's bedroom, he's not in there now but he will be soon."
She went off to do her work in the kitchen, I looked back into his bedroom and couldn't help but feel curious so I ventured in.
His bedroom was beautiful, it was elegant and tidy. I stared out the window and I could see the clear view of the garden, I was do enchanted. It's no wonder Ashton always loved going to the countryside, he was such a gentle person.
I looked around his room, he had a lot of family portraits, he even collected a lot, most of them were seashells, weird. I looked around and I could see that he collected rare looking seashells, I wonder what is so special of them.
( this is how they looked like.)

He must really like seashells, they were beautiful, I heard a voice ," So I see you've found my collections of seashells."
I turned around and it was Ashton, he saw me looking at him with a shocked expression, he smile gently and walked towards me, why do I feel so nervous?
" It's alright, did my bedroom astounded you? I hope so, you're the first girl to have ever come in here, I don't usually feel comfortable with this but you give my bedroom warmth," he said while staring at me with his cobalt blue eyes. I could feel my heart fall, I was blushing.
I looked away to his window and said with a stern face," Do not forget why I came here Ashton, Lucia needs us."
He sighed and said," Of course I did not forget, I just thought that maybe we-"
I intervened and said,"Ashton, I have no intentions of trying to impress your parents or whatsoever, we are here for one reason and that is to help Lucia, I'm not sure how we got into this situation but we have to help Lucia and her world."
The room went silent and it became too awkward to say anything, I turned around slowly and walked to the door, Ashton grabbed my arm and said," I didn't mean it that way it's just that..I..I just thought."
I shook his hand off and went out, closed the door and leaned on the door, he's fallen for me and I have fallen for him too. I can't afford to lose my focus just because of mere feelings, I need to think about the problem at hand. If I don't help Lucia now, she mentioned that our world would face the same fate, the earth will die.
I walked towards the guestroom where I was staying, I opened the door and saw his mother standing, staring at me. Oh dear, what should I do?
" Miss Rysmeth, I would like to have a short talk with you at the living room, we'll have a pleasant cup of tea. If you'd like, you may change your clothings into one of my custom made gowns, I'll see you in 15 minutes. I"ll have Carol bring it here."
