"Let's break up,""What? W-what do you mean?" Grace stammered. A cold sweat started rolling down her back."I want to end this relationship," Victor said."B-but we've only been dating for two months. Why do you want to break up? What did I do wrong?" The girl asked, almost crying."I realized that I've been feeling uncomfortable with you." The boy with thin lips let out a long sigh. "I don't know about you, but I really want to break up. Please don't bother me anymore. Live well. Goodbye,"Grace was stunned as she watched Victor walk away, leaving her alone in the cafe near their campus. Victor Sbastian; her first love, whom she had a crush on for six years - since high school.Tears trickled down Grace's cheeks. Her chest felt tight, as if she were drowning in the deepest sea on earth. She cried alone, like a stupid girl.Arriving home, Grace was pensive in her room. It was raining heavily outside, just to add more gloom to the atmosphere.Suddenly, a notification sound came out of
With a little force, Grace managed to open the mansion's door and go inside. There, she was amazed by the beauty of its architecture. As an artist, Grace could tell how stunning the mansion was and how high the artistic value was.However, the mansion's condition was poor; many roofs collapsed and wooden floors were damaged. The windows were also broken. Dry leaves, dust, and cobwebs were seen everywhere.Suddenly, Grace wanted to explore the mansion out of curiosity. She might find the most beautiful room to be the place where she ended her life. Then, her pair of brown eyes spotted a magnificent staircase in the middle of the grand entrance.'Let's see what the second floor has,' She thought.Then Grace stepped on the wooden stairs slowly, just to hear the creaking sound. However, she paid no attention to it; She didn't care. All she wanted was to reach the second floor, and according to her, the stairs should be strong enough to supporther light body.Grace continued to step into
'Okay. I don't care about this crazy guy. The most important thing now is that I have to get out of this place. I'm afraid he will do something bad to me. His brain must be damaged!' Grace thought."O-okay." She nodded. Then she pointed to the door that the crazy man had used to enter. "This really is the way out, isn’t it?"The man nodded. "Yes. That's the door leading to the forest."Grace smiled wryly. What forest? This mansion was located in the coastal area of the city, where there was no forest at all.Then Grace took a glance at the man before stepping fast and pulling the door open."Hey! Are you insane!?" The man snapped. However, he stopped, and his body froze, just like the impudent girl, who was also stunned as if she had just seen Medusa's eyes.Grace turned her head to look at the man who kept talking nonsense. Her feeble hand pointed at what was behind the open door, trying to confirm to him that he also witnessed the same thing.They couldn't believe what they saw. Beh
Grace jumped a little when she realized the man was looking at her suddenly, along with a burst of questions. It was so embarrassing that he caught her staring at his handsome face, which became much prettier because of the outdoor lighting. However, Grace couldn't even tell whether she was admiring his good looks or being dumbfounded at his strangeness."Eum... that..." Grace stammered."I don't understand. This place is supposed to be a dense forest. This kingdom is far away from the ocean. The road, the building, and the things are strange here. You are also strange ... Everything is strange. What is happening here?" The man said, Then he looked again at the house he had just left. It was different from the house he had entered before. Now, the house looked damaged, as if it had been abandoned for decades. This must be magic."Sir, you have to calm down. But first, can you tell me what your name is and where you come from?" Grace asked slowly.The man stared at her for a second, na
Grace and the paramedics exchanged glances."We … will take her to the hospital for treatment. Maybe she will need minor surgery," the paramedic answered before glancing at his friend.“They are right. I will be treated," Grace quickly added, giving a stiff smile. She didn't want other people to suspect Adro was crazy.Adro took a deep breath and nodded once. Then he did as he was asked: moving Grace from his arms onto a strange-looking iron bed.Then, the paramedics began to attach various tools and straps to Grace's body and legs so that she wouldn't fall. Once finished, they put her in the car.Behind them, Adro stared in disbelief at the iron carriage, which had no horses pulling it and had strange interiors. This place was insane."Are you coming along? Are you the guardian?" One of the paramedics asked Adro.Looking at Adro, Grace didn't know whether he would come with her or return to the abandoned mansion. In fact, Grace didn't want to bother because he was basically a strange
"Gosh… This sounds crazy, but I don’t have any option but to believe it because I saw for myself that you came out of that door. Then, what will you do?" Grace asked. Adro let out a long sigh while massaging his forehead. "Actually, I don't know. So far, I have never encountered a witch. The type of magic that is familiar to me is sorcerer magic, and they only use their power for weapons in war and protection. Witches are very dangerous because their magic comes from demonic power passed down through the bloodline. They have an evil heart and use their power to harm people." "You said earlier that you were getting married. So … does that mean your bride is waiting?" Grace asked a little hesitantly. Adro nodded briefly. "Joselyn; she is my future wife. It shouldn't be long before our wedding ceremony begins. She must be very confused, waiting for me now. The king and queen ... they must be looking for me too." "I'm sorry for not being able to help,” Grace said slowly. “Just so you
"Can I find my way home using this phone thing?" Adro asked with a wide smile.Grace sighed. "The phone can connect you with people who are far away from you, but it can't take you anywhere. Sorry,"“Oh, I see,” Adro muttered.Grace just looked at him with her lips sealed. That man had a soon-to-be wife waiting for him. Grace could imagine how that woman felt when her future husband suddenly disappeared just a few hours before their wedding ceremony. She must have been panicked and afraid."But … I'll try looking on the internet about where you're from. Maybe it’s in another part of the earth." Grace stretched out her hand, asking for her cell phone back."The name of my kingdom is Groendez a Lend," Adro said as he handed over the cell phone.Grace nodded and typed the name into an internet search. She even spelled it for Adro so she wouldn't write it wrong. But unfortunately, the search brought them nothing."I’m so sorry. I've looked for it, but there is no name Groendez a Lend in t
So, he keeps following me and accompanying me like this because he feels responsible for making me hurt?' Grace thought."Gosh... I think you've been misunderstanding all this time, Adro. It wasn't you who caused me to be injured this badly. You don't need to feel responsible for my condition." Grace hastily said. "If you want to leave, feel free to go – no need to wait for me," she smiled."You're right; I don't need to feel responsible for you anymore. But I don't think I can leave you," Adro replied.Blinking her eyes several times, Grace felt her heart pound. Can't leave her? Did Adro seriously say that? What did he mean? She hoped he knew that the words 'Abandon' and 'Waiting' had a big meaning for her."I don’t know about this world and have no destination. For now, you are the only one who believes in me and probably can help me find a way to return to my kingdom." He continued."Oh, I see..." Grace muttered while rubbing her arm. Her cheeks suddenly felt warm, and she bit her
