But of course no one knew this, not even Prince gorwin, except Princess nym and some old fogeys of the older generation.
But not only did Princess nym know,what she does next is the real shocker.
She puts her hand on a particular brick and pushes it and all of a sudden. She disappears.
ALL of a sudden she appears in a different space full of darkness and gloominess.
Princess nym sat on ground and brought out a bottle of fire dragon wine, and a glass and started drinking.
Then she let out a breathtaking smile, if the king was here, he'd be shocked beyond words, because even he couldn't remember when last he saw the Princess smile on her own accord.
Hey old guy, guess what happened today then the Princess stared to recount how her day went, all she learnt concerning elementalism, she talked about how those nobles wouldn't stop licking her boots and how better she had gotten at combat.
While it looked like she was talking to no one, she still continued talking with enthusiasm.
Then all of a sudden, a very hoarse voice filled with sadness came out of the void, child I'm very sorry, the Princess didn't find this weird at all like she was expecting it.
But the Princess answered, no I'm the one who's sorry, all those years, it's been hard on you, but the hoarse voice replied, child, you don't understand, how I wish you, you, but the voice didn't continue.
How I wish you what, the princess answered.
But at that moment, time seemed to stop.
SWOOP
GURGLE
GURGLE
The princess was struggling to breath and in front of her was a hooded figure clothed in black with his back facing her on his hand was a tiny icicle and on the princess's neck was a tiny wound, the tiny icicle had already pulled princess nym straight to the door of death.
The look on princess nym's face was disbelief, sadness and shock, but not a hint of hatred could be seen on her pretty face.
Princess nym looked the figure standing in front of her, even if she had never seen him before, she knew that he was the one, the one who had been talking to her from the void.
A lot of times she would fantasise about how they'd meet, she had imagined every possible scenario alot of times she'd sleep with a smile on her face just thinking about it.
But not once did she imagine that it'd be like this, his finger slitting her throats, and the worst part was, she couldn't even muster up any bit of hatred, Goddd I'm such a lovestruck teenager, and she was right, even if she had never seen him before, he was basically everything he wanted, she was one of the few elves who didn't give a hoot about looks.
Damn it, why can't I hate him, she thought, but seeing him standing there she knew, she knew just how much pain he was going through, she knew he was probably hurting way more than she was, she had no idea how she knew, but she did.
