Book 3: Chapter 42
“Lucia, Lucia.”
Lucia and I hugged. Meeting each other after not seeing each other for a few days excited us like we were reincarnated. Lucia smiled cheerfully, she shifted about in my arms and said: “Your highness, we finally have time today… I thought I wouldn’t get to see you before I left.”
I gave Lucia a kiss on her forehead and then blushed as I said: “No way. If that were the case, I’d follow you to the North.”
“Don’t worry about it then. The North is no fun at all. Her highness said that I could return after a few months. There won’t be a problem since you’ll have to go to humanity next month anyway. My wedding dress should be ready at the end of these two months, and you’ll finally get to see how I look in my wedding dress, your highness!”
Lucia wrapped her arm around mine and the two of us left the palace. When the gate sentries saw us, they smiled and said: “Congratulations, your highness. Congratulations, Miss Lucia. We wish you eternal happiness.”
“Thank you.”
Lucia thanked them with a smile while I gave them a nod and then we left together. We only had one hour. Only one hour before we had to part. I don’t know how beautiful and short this one hour will be, but I was happy enough in the moment, because my love was by my side.
The palace…..
“Your highness, the gold mine district in the South has sent the gold mined this year to the capital. They sent the same amount as before. We think that it would be a good idea to make gold jewellery for Miss Lucia…. Your highness…. Your highness?”
