Love isn't Always the Sweetest (Book 1)

Chapter 20: Broken Promises

I always find it that time flies by when I begin to read books. It takes me away from all of life's worries. It was getting boring inside so I decided to go out into the garden again. Hopefully Alois won't mind me taking the book outside. On second thought maybe I should train. I put the book back in its original location and made my way to the garden.

I wish Kikiyu and Sora was here. They could help me. Then realization hit. He promised...HE PROMISED HE WOULDN'T LEAVE ME ALONE! This alone filled me with rage and I quickened my pace to the garden where my scythe lay. I picked it up and search for an empty place to train. I soon came across a strange room that looked like a chess board. It even had all the pawns on it.

I started running full speed to a piece and launched myself off it swinging my scythe. Keeping my momentum I didn't want to hit any of the pieces. Flipping over anything and dodging it while keeping my speed.

Hmm.. I haven't got much done. Maybe the last few hours before dinner I decided to practice with my elements. It could prove helpful to the last battle. I rubbed my neck where the tattoo was and it felt warm. That sensation was gone and the tattoo returned back to my hand.

"Elements I call upon you to assist me. Wind and fire I command you to appear." My symbol slightly glowed but nothing happened. "Wind and fire I command you to appear!" The symbol glowed brighter and the fire finally appeared. Instead of blue the fire was black. Hn.

"Fire thank you. You are dismissed." The flame went away and I noticed it was starting to get dark. I should go back. I was walking back inside the manor while spinning my scythe in my hand. Looking at the time when I got back into the manor I quickly freshened up and headed to the dining room.

"Hello, (Y/n)!"

"Good evening, Alois."

"What did you do today? Claude said that he didn't see you inside the manor."

"Yes, I was outside training."

"Oh.. why would you need to train?" he asked with a slight tilt of the head while Claude served the food.

"I have my reasons..."

"I see... Anyways~ I have the day off tomorrow so we can hang out!"

"That's great! Where shall we go?"

"Hmm... How about a picnic! It's quite warm out."

"That would be great."

"Then it's decided. Claude prepare a picnic basket for tomorrow."

"Yes, your highness." Claude took our empty plates and left the dining room.

"I shall retire for the night. Goodnight (y/n)."

"Yes, goodnight Alois."

I headed back to my room sitting on the chair by my desk. I took out a piece of paper and started drawing aimlessly on it. Then an idea came to mind. Maybe I should draw a picture of Alois and Claude as a thanks. Sure it's not much but it's the thought that counts right...? Maybe I should write a letter to Sebastian I did get something for him.. Ill do the letter first. Taking out a paper and quill I began to write.

Dear Sebastian,

I know you probably want nothing to do with me but I have gotten you something before I left. If you look inside the bottom left corner of my closet you will find a box with white wrapping paper and black roses on it. Open it before you read the next part. Did you open it? It's a cat plushie. I know you like cats but my brother is allergic to them so I got you this. I hope you will enjoy it.
