Marguerite is oblivious as she folds Arthmael's body into beautiful silhouettes. Following the familiar choreography, she dances relentlessly.

Grand Jete! Penche! followed by a series of graceful pas de chats. All concatenated in front of the enthralled emperor.

When the music reaches the outro in a full stop, Marguerite falls gracefully on the floor in a pose. She stays there and waits for the king to tell her she can leave.

She stays on the ground for a long time but hears nothing from him. Wondering if she did anything wrong, she wants to lift her head to look at the king's face, but quickly remembers the warning he gave her. If she disrespects him any further, who knows what he might do to her.

She suddenly feels her chin being lifted, her eyes meet the hazels of Demian. She forgets to breathe and falls from her pose onto the floor. She doesn't have time to regain her senses before two strong arms lift her off the floor.

She is about to question him on his weird behaviour when her mouth is suddenly covered by his in a kiss.

-------------------------------------------------
Marguerite is very talented. She has a beautiful voice, a great passion for music and various talents in the arts. Unfortunately, her bright future gets compromised when she is forced to leave her world to fulfill the wish of someone else. Marguerite wanting to go home as soon as possible, accepts. However things turn out quite unexpected for her.

To Find Edward

Marguerite looks up at him, her eyes narrowed. She looks at him as if looking at an abandoned puppy. Jurian doesn't know if it's a good thing or not.

"If you don't, I will never give up."

Marguerite feels conflicted. She is suddenly put in this ultimatum where she has to choose between 2 men she isn't sure about.

If it's to answer the question of "do you love Armel?" Then the obvious answer is no. She doesn't love him. It's a weird answer considering the facts, but it's her true feelings.

But if she says that to Jurian, then she is condemning him to always chase for an unrequited love.

She may have some feelings for Jurian, but she doesn't trust herself anymore.

What if she hurts him again? If she lets herself fall for him while she is married to 2 men, he is bound to have this expression of pain on his face once more.

Maybe, just maybe, the best outcome for all of them is for her to lie...

I love him.
