78

After the ceremony was over I was sent to my room to dress in something casual so that it would be comfortable in the journey ahead. A carriage waited for me at the foot of the mansion and I mounted it without looking back at the people who waved at me with teary eyes. I had decided to abandon them like they were doing to me.

The carriage was full of fresh flowers cushioning the walls of the inside. Scents of numerous flowers kept me awake as I gaze out of the window immersed in my deep thoughts. Maxim sat across me and looked out of the window by his side as well. Both of us had our heads filled with burning thoughts. I had nothing to say to him but it seemed that his head was in a state of a mess because he had something to say to me.

"Who is Bronze?" HE asked all of a sudden, causing my heart to jump up. I looked around and noticed his gaze still looking out of the window.
