Stand by me (4)

Lilia woke up from sleep, her pillow was wet. It had been a week but still she couldn't get that day out of her mind. She had moved ahead from that day but the memory of it haunted her.

Not a single letter or word from the prince since that day. Since the day the prince sold her to the demon king for profit. She had not received word from him as to why he sold her when they were to marry.

She was left to anticipate, like perhaps he found another woman to please him that he wanted to marry and hence the change but that wasn't it. For the week the news she tried to gather of the prince had become like a fallacy. Made up by people to keep their faith that he was still alive. 

She stopped trying to find the reason. Finding it wouldn't change the past and now she had a different future approaching her. She was engaged to be married to the duke Adran.
