ERIKA's POV

I went to school earlier than Anneliese since I know she usually wake up on time, not late and not early. She usually believe that sleeping in a proper 8 hours will make your brain relax and you'll be confident and productive through out the day. But for me, I can't even sleep again after waking up over nothing. So I basically took a bath and get ready for school. My mother is a night owl, she spent her time at night and usually sleeping in the morning. However, my father is very opposite. We woke up really early to have a walk or even cook breakfast and it is some sort of bonding for us. 

I already cooked breakfast for Anneliese and Mother, like eggs and toasted bread. I like the smell of the food during morning, it makes me feel refreshing. After eating and cleaning the sink, I did brush my teeth and gather up my bag. And this time, I can hear Anneliese woke up so I decided to slowly paced my way to school. Anyway, its an hour early for school. 

There are less people in this town. I could see from very far behind the kingdom of Le'tam. I never knew this has its own kingdom, I thought this place is within the Dulcinea from the very beginning. I stopped at the place where I saw the bridge. You never knew that this bridge is a connection of two kingdoms, so basically we are living in the edge of Le'tam. Hmmm.  I went closer to the bridge and slowly walked to the other side of it. It was a small bridge but really old. 

"So this is Dulcinea." I looked at the place. It's lively than here but there were people guarding the wall. I wish I could come in. Anyway, I should be heading to school and wait at the classroom. I was walking towards the other end and stopped in the middle. I looked at the place, so amusing. Two kingdoms united by a bridge, why would a vow still needed between fixed marriages is in need. 

"Love the view right?" I almost jump off to my surprise. I saw Dominick walking towards where I was standing. He was in his jogging attire with a hood. 

"It's just so amazing that two kingdoms united just because of this bridge. And sadly, the other kingdom was lost." I said to him, staring at the beautiful place. 

"It was never lost, Eri. It was hidden, waiting its moment to be found." he added and we are both staring at the beautiful scenery in front of us. We could hear the birds chirping, feel warmth of the sun rising and saw the beautiful mountainous view and colorful sunrise. The moment was too perfect. Too perfect I could hear someone's stomach grumble. I looked at Dominick, and gave him a serious look. Really? 

"I'm sorry. I ruined a very perfect moment. I'm heading to Julian to borrow a bike, I kinda felt tired to run again." he said to me and smiled. Yeah, he is very sweaty and still catching up some heavy breaths. But he looked more handsome now and sexy?! I secretly shook my head. Wake up Erika!

"Wait. Are you off to school?" he asked. I nodded in response.

"This early?" he asked me again

"Why not? Early bird catches the worm." I said to him and started walking. I can still hear his stomach grumbles.

"Wanna eat breakfast at my place? It's not kinda luxurious breakfast but it could give you energy though." I told him. 

"And we are a close neighbour of Julian." I added.

"How could I refuse such an offer? Not everyday you are like this, Eri." he told me and smiled. So we walked back to the place. It wasn't that far though. 

ANNELIESE'S POV

Erika woke up early again and left. Well, it is not a surprise anymore. I went up to take a bath and get ready for school. I was in the middle of eating when Erika went in with someone. And that someone was a he.
