"Tell me more about yourself," Chastity continued to follow him around everywhere, not that it bothered him

"Tell me more about yourself," Chastity continued to follow him around everywhere, not that it bothered him. It felt good knowing that she was in the right hands, Cusack and Chandler despise her. Everyone in the castle couldn't be trusted, that was a known fact.

"Zeldris?" She smiled in her new found apparel. A black pencil skirt with a slit, accompanied by a white blouse and work heels.

It gave the girl a better look but more importantly, she was covered up. He didn't want anyone looking at her, especially not Estrarossa once he awakens.

She belonged to Zeldris and Zeldris alone.

"Sir Zeldris?" She bent down a bit, waving her hand in front of his face, "Snap out of it, are you okay?"

"We need to set some ground rules Chastity," he continued to walk down the corridors with her, striding behind him like a lost puppy. "Rule number one, never go anywhere without me."

"Rule number two," he lifted up his fingers, counting them. "Never talk to anyone unless I tell you to."

"Rule number three," he paused, turning around a flashing her a smile. He never smiled, not ever. "Always keep a smile, never hold your head down, okay?" He could tell Chastity had some sort of internal warfare, it was as if she was insecure.

"O-okay Zeldris," she smiled, reaching the two wide doors as he pushed them, a garden. The grass has been freshly cut, the chirping from the unharmed bluebirds and singing robins. The vibrant colors covered the vast collection of flowerbeds. Pink and yellow peonies, in full bloom, the garden seemed to be completely untouched. Free from harm.

The tall fiery marigolds swayed, basking in the soft breeze. The nostalgia hit Chastity immediately, had she been here before? She kicked off her heels, intaking the fresh air. Her focus landed on the white lotus and lilies in front of her.

The memories began to flow into her, hitting her all at once:

"Your mere presence is annoying."

"I was here first," Chastity stomped her feet, crossing her arms at the male who leaned against the oak tree. She finally thought she had some peace, time alone to herself where she could openly think. Away from the captivity of the goddess clan, she had lost Elizabeth on purpose. Elizabeth has always been her guardian in the sort where she restricted Chastity from openly doing things.

"I don't care, leave."

"You wanna fight tough guy?" He ignored the girls empty threats, he had just finished his training with Cusack. This was his open time to think near nature.  He wouldn't let this random girl ruin it.
