The Day of Return

"Prince Clovis has returned, young lady."

Heard the shocking news from the bodyguard. With her hair untied, a girl ran fast. The long legs that passed each guard did not think about her current condition. Her amber eyes traced the length of the corridor in front of her, watching the streets as she passed them.

"Prince Clovis..."

Her voice trembled at the mention of her loved one's name. As she looked at the wide open palace doors, her heart skipped a beat. Her body, covered in a nightgown, stepped out without caring how the guards looked at her.

"Princess Elie!"

Hearing someone shout from behind, the people surrounding the carriage in front of the courtyard turned around. But to their surprise, a female figure was lunging at the large body of the man who was still standing in front of the carriage. The servants jumped in surprise at the sight of Elie's body clinging tightly to the tall man's neck.

"You have finally returned, Prince Clovis." Her voice sounded sad.
