Varian:

I feel dizzy... Was that a nightmare? I don't know.

I open my eyes slowly, I see the ceiling and I guess I am in Corona's dungeons still. I sigh. I feel something in my lap so my eyes look in there and I see my loyal raccoon.

—Morning, Rudiger— I say caressing my pet and friend. He looks to my right side, expectant. I turn my head to that direction and I jump surprised on this thing they call "bed" and I hug Rudiger, scaring him but he calms down fast. Eugene is sleeping in a chair next to me. We are separated by a few meters—... Eugene?— I ask cautiously. He is really asleep— Eugene!— I say a bit louder. He doesn't wake up, but his chest is moving. I am going to scream his name but I smile wickedly because I rather hit him with the pillow in his face, so that's what I do and he instantly opens his eyes and gets up, hitting and kicking the air as the pillow falls.

—UH? Who?, when?, what?, why?Who's there?

—Mjh kgh pmh— I cover my mouth with my hands, trying to don't laugh. He heard me so he looks at me.

—You are a wild imp...— he makes fun of me changing his expression to one that says: "Really?"

I can't hold it anymore and I laugh strongly as I close my eyes and tears of joy roll down my face.

—S-sorry not so-rry— I say brokenly by the adrenaline that I feel running wild through my veins. It was too funny.

—Uh...

—What?— I open my eyes and I stop laughing as I get shocked while Rudiger walks away from me. My hair falls in my face and it is glowing white except for my natural blue lock of hair. A few seconds later every lock of my hair glows blue. Just like in my nightmare. Wait, it was a nightmare, wasn't it? And why is Eugene here?—W-what is happening here?— I am getting scared of myself.

—Hey, hey, hey, calm down, okay?— he tries to get closer to me but I raise a hand stopping him.

—D-don't come any closer— I warn as my breathing goes faster.

—Varian, I know that you are scared... But please try to calm down...— he talks low and with a relaxing voice— Uh, do you remember what happened the last night?

—More or less...

—Okay. I am going to explain what happened, and please, calm down— he slowly tells me what happened, but he must feel nervous because he starts to talk faster... Making me more stressed out—. Oh, a-and I told them what happened with your hair and your freckles and we all decided to take you here and I looked after you all night, well, until I fell asleep but who cares about that? I mean, no one cares if I fell asleep, right? Oh and your ankle is okay now, it is fantastic, isn't it?— he stops to take a breath, then he makes a nervous smile. This whole thing only gave me more anxiety... I cover my face with my hands and I hear his steps getting closer.

—Stay away...— I warn codly. I don't know why this happened to me and what it could cause. Of course I blame Eugene. I blame every member of the royal family, and he is included. I feel his arms hugging me and I put my arms in his chest trying to push him and make him know that I don't want a hug. I just wanna be normal. I just wanna be happy—. This is your fault. You all stole the innocence that was left of my heart, you guys made me be like this, WHY DID ALL OF YOU DO THIS?— I scream the last thing breaking the crying. I don't care who is listening. I just care about my dad. I want him back. I wanna tell him all the things I can't say right now, I wanna make him proud, I wanna hug him, I wanna feel protected in his arms...— I... I just don't deserve your forgiveness. I am the only one to blame.

—Varian...— Eugene separates from me, bends down to my height and takes my chin making me look straight into his brown eyes. I see the reflection of my hair, eyes and freckles in his eyes—. Everyone deserves a second oportunity. And I do care about you. Trust me. Please don't take your revenge. You could do something you can regret later. It solves nothing. I will take care of you, okay?— uhg, how can he make his voice so relaxing? It makes me wanna trust him...
