A Messed Up Fairytale

The door had a knock and Myrtle set aside the third journal that she was reading this far. She looked toward the door before saying. "Come in,"

The door opened and James stepped inside, His head was lowered and he didn't directly look at Myrtle.

"Sir, James? What brings you here?" She stood up and stepped closer to James. "Did the Duke send another edict for me?" She was a little sarcastic with her words.

James lifted his head and looked into Myrtle's eyes directly. "You are not going to break that easily, Right?" the corner of his lip lifted and he replied to which Myrtle crossed her hand against her and replied. "Why should I? And for what? If I had something of my own I would have stayed on my grounds to protect it forever even if that meant that I had to be shattered a million times. But I don't have the heart to sacrifice myself for someone who has never once looked at me with a kind gaze… I am not a delusional little girl anymore."
