1027 Words
"Oh my! you were as beautiful as they, miss!" The servant suddenly blurted out as his face started shinning.
I got taken aback as he started to pester me," why is he still pretending not to know me when he quite literally saved my life?"
" Do people say that?" I asked-pretending to get all excited. I'm not too unfamiliar with pretending to be stupid-i've survived a decades with my skills. I can play that game with you.
" Yes, of course! All of the people regards you as the most problem heir and the queen of Berpolt!" He exclaimed. I signed, "I'm going to die sooner if they keep on like this,"
I hadn't realized it sooner- I initially thought if I were to become the most outstanding one, I'd be accepted. Of course, that was naive of me to have a thought like that.
I'm turning 25- I couldn't even finish my college degree this family has ruined me from the inside. At this point, why do I care about living or drying?
"Mess? would you like to walk around with me?" He asked.
It wouldn't be harmful to open up to tur man I'm deciding to seduce, is it now? I still have the same sentiments as him.
I accepted his offer- he had to push the wheelchair around while we were talking. Regardless of his racing and almost stupid acriins-he was considerate.
"Miss, may I ask? why did you quit college when you were almost graduating?" He asked- I thought about it deeply.
"It's just a matter of life and death decision for me," I paused before turning back to smile at him. "That's all I can say for now," I say yeas as I look ahead.
"W-well, the president will always love you. Maybe," I glare at him- he shut his mouth as he flinched at my sudden hostility.
"I don't need it, I rather get assurance for my life," I mumbled. I notice we've made a couple of circles around the garden.
"Um, Walter?" I call out to him as he keeps the smile on his face while dragging me around.
"Oh, miss?" He snaps out of it. I wanted to ask him why he was acting naive about the situation, but all I could say to him was, "We -we should head back in."
"I'll take you there safely, miss!" He exclaimed as we arrived at the room- just as he stated; safely.
"Thank you, Walter," I smile warmly at him while he flinched before smiling awkwardly- stretching the back of his head.
"Miss, I-uh," he started to stutter- he seemed like he has something to say. "Walter? what is wrong? you can speak comfortably, " I assured him
" Miss, I don't have anywhere to go! may I stay here? " He blurts out with his eyes closed. I couldn't help but laughed at his cute antices.
"Of course, Walter. Father assigned you to stay here, you can sleep on the couch," I said while his eyes sparkled.
"Thank you, miss!," He smiled brightly. I turned around again- however, I caught a glimpse of his cold face in my peripheral vision.
I turned to look at him again: he was smiling brightly without fail- I touch my head, "u seek to be hallucinating today."
I sit back on my hospital bed, " This doesn't book like a hospital bed; it's more like a luxurious bed.
A decade ago, I wouldn't have thought I'd be able to attain wealth to this extent. However, if I'm given the chance to go back-i'd rather attin a peaceful life rather than covet a life filled with luxury.
Now, I'm caught in this mess and none of my siblings wants to see me alive.
"Would you like to eat some fruits, Miss?" Walter asks me as he brings the stuff my father brought.
I saw a packed Upad, "can you please bring that over?" I pointed to the Upad while he nods.
I opened that pack to take the charger out, "you can have this." I ha ded him the Upad and his eyes widened.
"Miss? i-i cant-," I stopped him as I gave him the whole box. "You can share the charger with me," I smiled as I urge him to accept it.
"Thank you so much, miss! my brother needed this!" He exclaimed and this kind- he has his family members to take care of. I envy this kind of older brother.
I took out mine and start charging it, "I needed the charger."
He start to admire the device as he turned it on. "Just telle if you need any help," I said as I start munching on the peeled apple he'd given me.
Like night came as Walter spent this time on the Upad, I had free time so needed up reading about a procedure of the eyes that has recently been published by a renowned optometrist.
I only had a year before the graduation when I was forced to back out- I'm in my mid-twenties now and I can't continue doing the things I love.
I need to sacrifice them for my life.
"Miss, I suggest you go to sleep now Walter suddenly sprung from his seat.
" I was going to keep him busy for a longer time," I thought as I obediently laid down on the bed.
"I'll protect you, miss!" He exclaimed with a stupid smile on his face. Somehow, his smile seems to calm me down.
I guess if he were to become my husband- my days won't be so dull anymore. In addition to that, his strength can defeat my family's hired assassins.
I smile as I Pat his head, " I hope you accomplish that." I lay down and ask Walter to leave the lights on.
Slowly, I slipped into Dreamland as I forced another nightmare but I need to pretend. I've lost the ability to even think for myself.
I need to pretend I am not capable of feeling emotions- a human void of any type of social interaction. I look beside me to see Walter playing around with flowers.
"Goodnight, Walter."
