Episode 3 - The Feeling Of Losing Someone (6)

I was thinking. Today is a quiet peaceful day. The mansion that is surrounded by a forest makes me comfortable. The wind comes to my room waking me up from sleep. The sun begins to show itself.

My sleeping beauty has gone. Because the servant takes my blanket away from me. They only do what my father orders. They won't let me take a long nap. I'm not a child anymore. You should know! He never understands.

"Miss Vanessa, Your Highness Prince Louise wants to take a breakfast with you."

At least he's not watching me from the distance anymore.

The servant told her and she quickly wear her dark green dress, black gloves, and white heels. Her straight hair with bangs evenly. Simply makeup on the face to give a graceful atmosphere.

"Hm...said to Prince Louise that I'll be there soon."

"We're sorry, Miss Vanessa. But Prince Louise is already waiting for you, since this morning."

"What do you say?"

Her hands are open the door handles and a green-skinned man is suddenly in front of her eyes. He greeted with a smile. He held out his hand.

"Good morning, Vanessa. May I take you into the dining room?" He usually didn't talk formally to her.

"What are you doing? Isn't it because your last day in the Grand Duke mansion?"

"Hey...I just want to say gratitude to you. But you teased me up. Okay...I'm going first."

Louise turned out to be annoyed because of her jokes. Vanessa ran up to him and then embraced his hands while apologizing. But Louise pinched her cheeks.

"Louise...I heard, Somewhere in the Goblin kingdom is under attack. Is it true?"

He stopped his hand pinching her cheeks.

"Yes, that's right. Therefore, I should be back soon. They need me."

Everyone was busy attacking humans' country and I just enjoy my vacation without a hitch. I am wrong to let my people die. Where is my responsibility as a knight?

Vanessa's sad face and Louise know it. Don't know what to do. Louise holds her face with both his hands and said.

"Don't blame yourself. You have to take a rest. Don't you remember the incident two years ago? Because of the battle, you almost died."

We almost lose her.

"It's our turn now. You will come to the battle again after everything is done and remember your priority. There's someone you should take care of, Vanessa."

Someone I need to take care of. Someone in the Grand Duke's mansion.

"I'm sorry...and thank you."

"You're welcome."

I have to prioritize one person for now. Protect him from everything and anything until he knew what to do.

"Let's go, Your Highness!"

Taste of spirit back to them. Louise already felt hungry. He's holding Vanessa like a bride and ran towards the dining room. A burst of laughter filled the whole hallway until a few hours later.

At the main door Grand Duke mansion. Vanessa, the vampire is tired of sitting and waiting. In front of him, there was a man from goblin kingdom with a full of sweat on his face. The woman kept staring at him, waiting for an answer. The goblin knelt down.

"Is there a reason?"

He replied nervously, "I'm sorry...I think I'm not going back today."

"Why?" She asked again.

"Please let me stay here in one night, Vanessa."

"...I knew it would be like this. You're supposed to obey the word of your knights you before get here!"

"I'm sorry."

Today he was supposed to return and his knights will come here with a horse carriage. Unfortunately, there's any news since this morning. There's no bird communication which says that the knights are on their way. The bird is a communication tool for goblins. Not just an ordinary bird. But the bird which is special to communicate across the country.

Vanessa couldn't let him with a wrong decision. She had to let the Prince Goblin stay here until his bird communication come. Because it's time for launch. Vanessa let him go inside.

"Hey...thank you." His cheeks blushed while looking away.

"Make yourselves at home. I'll catch up with you later."

"All right."

A sweet smile make Louise was stunned. He went by give a bow to him. Louise saw her step away. Suddenly hold her hand.

The two of them see each other. Louise's handgrip makes Vanessa in pain. But he would not release his grasp. Vanessa did not understand what happened to him. She stopped seeing his golden eyes.

"Are you going to see that boy?" He said.

The situation became very tense. Louise continued to hold her hand. "I'm sorry...I don't know what I'm doing. You can go, Vanessa." He let go of his hands.

"...Okay, I'll be right back."

He left and I looked at her from behind. My hands move without reason. What happened? I should've forgotten what was inside my heart. It turns out to forget my thought it's difficult.

"Damn...I still have the same feeling of being selfish." Louise said, and then looked towards the window.

Victor, Are you really going to see him? It was stupid to leave Vanessa alone. I will never forgive you.

My name is Louise, the 2nd Prince from the kingdom of Goblins. Vanessa, the daughter of the Grand Duke. Since we first met ten years ago. Our eyes see each other. There was a sense that I cannot get rid of you.

Her red eyes are full of sadness and loneliness. Her eyes have passed through so much pain. The beautiful sword skill has attracted the attention goblin's attention. It's made me feel something special. What is the name of that feeling?

"Your Highness, the goblin communication bird has arrived. Would you like to see the bird?" Said the servant.

I hope we can see each other again. Promise me you will survive. Get in there, you are strong. Goodbye, my butterfly.

"Of course, take me there."

He leaves without saying a word. Vanessa wasn't able to see his departure and Vanessa didn't go to see Varest. She is hiding in her personal office. Her heart feels so heavy right now.

Vanessa already knows why Louise acted like that. That's why she doesn't want to see his departure and stay in her personal office. Maybe it is the right time. She hopes they can see each other again. Before that, Vanessa pray for him to keep alive until the time come.

Knock...Knock...Knock...

"...Come in."

Varest comes inside.

"My apology to interrupt your time. I heard that Prince Louise has already left the Grand Duke mansion. I came here just want to make sure it is true or not."

He smiled at her. He makes her remember one person. The person she must forget.

"Ah...Varest, are you hungry? Time for lunch will arrive soon. Come on, follow me." She explained.

"Of course, with pleasure!" With an excited voice.

Sometimes love is makes our heart hurt and it's hard to forget our feelings. Is this the feeling of losing someone?
