Chapter 87: Our Space
I shivered for the 5th time before getting to the library. Is it just me, or has the entire castle been so cold since this morning? It was odd because the sun had risen well outside and it seemed warmer outside than inside.
"Oh my" Alice was in awe the moment she stepped into the library, the curved shelves like a grand canyon must have caught her attention and the varieties of books that graced them.
She turned to me. "This is so wonderful I have never seen so many books in my life" she squeaked like a child. A faint smile found my lips.
"Is this your library, is this all yours?"
"N-No it’s Lord Cedric’s, he’s very studious, I come here from time to time so it feels partly mine too," I said with a smile against my lips.
"Then I guess it’s mine too"
I couldn’t help a spark of pain that shot through me, my smile leisurely fades, she may have only said it, but it runs deeper than I intended it to, I quickly looked away as I felt uncomfortable.
"Forgive I must have spoken too soon," she said, covering her mouth as her eyes widened.
I forced a smile. "It’s okay... you’re right, it will be yours when you’re married to him," I said but my chest twisted in pain as I did, I felt faint. She took my head, taking me by surprise.
"Thank you, Sylvia you’re very nice, I know we’re gonna be great friends"
Was it just me or was she overly positive about this, I just smiled nervously, her features turned sad.
