Juliet's path

Choices

The next day
It was the first day as court physician for Juliet nothing much had happened she gave every royal member of the family a check up everyone seemed to be fine but Juliet was avoiding Alexandra for reasons more one even if she told him how she felt it wouldn't change anything it's either he leaves his duties or she hers her plan was to go the king see if there was anything she should do and then lock herself in her room because the more you get attached to someone the more it hurts when they separate she then went to the king and when she was let in she surprised to see Alexandra there discussing peace terms with the king when she came in sorry you're highness if I'm interrupting something Juliet said "no no Alexandra and I were just finishing up "the king replied "I just came to see if there was anything I can do "no there is not you may rest for the rest of the day "

Juliet left the room so glad she was now away from Alexandra until she heard a familiar voice all her name " Juliet you've been avoiding me have I done anything wrong "Alexandra said "I was not avoiding you I simply didn't see you " Juliet lies" ok I understand but there is a dance I would like for you to accompany me "Juliet wanted to say no she wanted to run off but what came out of her mouth was " I would be honored "Juliet only then realised that the dance was tonight she had no time to get ready but she couldn't go back from her word so she simply excused herself then left

Meanwhile
Sophia was so happy for her cousin she went to go on a ride she was running to the stables to see her horse but on her way there she heard her name so stopped to listen based on the voices she heard it was two women talking saying that Juliet was amazing at first she was happy but then she heard them saying that she was just a burden on her cousins back saying that her father left her so her only hope was Juliet Sophia was very upset to hear this then went back to her room and started thinking is it really true after all she is nothing Juliet then came running inside the room Sophia I need your help we both must go the dance tonight we need to find dresses after two hours they were finally ready

Later that night

Juliet and Sophia arrived at the ball wearing two beautiful dresses Alexandra then asked Juliet for a dance while dancing he said Juliet I must confess something "what is it " Juliet asked curiously " before i met you I didn't believe in love I thought only a fool could think it was real but I can't control my feelings I love you " Alexandra said "i love you too  but that doesn't change anything if you stay you will be considered a traitor Juliet said "and if I leave I will be considered a coward "Alexandra replied " well cowards live I can't say the same for traitors "Juliet said "can't you come with me no one will consider you a traitor nor a coward I know you have earned a living but I will provide for you after all you are a woman one way or another you will leave people already don't understand you they don't understand how amazing you are "you're saying since you can't leave you want me to leave my cousin my duties for you I thought you were different but I guess you are not " Juliet said "wait Juliet I'm leaving tomorrow I'll be waiting for you right outside the palace " Juliet didn't reply she just left

The next day
Alexandra was waiting for Juliet no matter how much he hated thinking about it she could leave him and not come there was only ten minutes left Juliet was watching him waiting as she was crying she will never leave everything she worked for for love the ten minutes were over Alexandra went on the carriage and left will he ever come back did she make the right choice to stay for everything she worked for was it worth giving up the love of her life and watching him leave
