"You're quite dilligent, sir."
The blonde haired enchantress said as she hugged the box of dried lavenders, decorated with the royal blue ribbon.
"I gift you things like this every week so I could see your smile." The prince stated as he held his fiancée in his arms. "If you'd like, I could ask my knight over there to send my gifts to you everyday."
"No need," Her cresent shaped eyebrows inclined slightly, "I'm just pleased that you've gifted me things I love." She gave the prince a warm, courteous smile with her lilac soft lips.
They embraced, surrounded by the maze of roses under an orange-coloured sky.
Her charming smile was quickly engraved within my heart- for I knew she could never look at me that way. I stood silently- fearing my pounding heart could be heard by them.
The prince gave me a content smile and gestured for me to leave.
I quickly stole a glance at the familiar blonde hair dancing in the wind, tightening the grip on my sword as I walked away.
I had always remembered it-
Lavender.
