Chapter 16

"Are you alright?" A little girl said.

The girl was cute. She looked like she was consoling the child in front of her.

"Go away! You are just like those nobles!" The boy retorted.

"It's alright, I'm not going to hurt you." She hugged and soothed the child.

The boy accepted the girl's embrace and was comforted.

"By the way, what's your name?" The boy asked.

"Oh, I'm Moriana." The girl smiled.

"My name is-"

*****

"!!!!"

"Young miss? Are you alright?" Kelly asked.

I woke up and was sweating a lot.

"I'm fine Kelly. It's just that it was so hot that it woke me up." I replied.

"I'll get you some cold beverage then." She said and went out.

'What was that? Was it a memory or a dream?'

The boy in my dream looked so vague that I couldn't remember his face.

"Here you go young miss." Kelly handed me a milkshake.

"Oh? This is my first time seeing a milkshake."

"Yes. The servants prepared it just for you young miss."

"I see. Please thank them for me."

Kelly nodded.

'Hahh....the milkshake plucked the heat out of me.'

I got up and looked at the window. The people outside and in the town looked so busy that it made me wonder what kind of event is held.

"What's going on Kelly? The people looks busy outside. Is there an event?"

"There will be a festival held for the next three days. It is for celebrating the birth of our empire, Nirvana."

"Ahh, I see."

Right, there was this chapter in the novel where a festival was held.

The male lead and heroine will go on a date and the heroine will be kidnapped.

I was thinking, what if I was the one who's going to get kidnapped?

I suddenly had goosebumps.

I don't think chapters like that won't happen anymore since the story is falling apart.

"When will it start?"

"It starts at 5pm. There will be many stalls selling their products, theater shows, auctions, entertainments. And the final event is watching the fireworks."

"The fireworks shows up at mostly 8 or 9pm." She added.

"Hm. Must be fun." I mumbled.

"Young miss, I'm definitely going to the festival even though you won't attend. And if you do attend, please go with Sir Justin." She pleaded.

"....Fine. You go on and take a day off."

"Yay!! Thank you young miss! I'll get going now! Bye!" She ran off.

"....."

She really left me. Hahaha I can't believe her.

At lunch, I ate with my parents together.

"Later at evening, we are going to attend the festival together. After all, it's been a long time since your father and I had a date." Mom said.

"Oh, I guess I'll be going with Justin for now." I replied.

"Yes, you should be. Since Kelly is enjoying her vacation right now, Justin will be the best person whom you'll be with." Dad added.

"Okay." I said.

We continued to eat and separated ways after.

"Justin."

"Yes, my lady."

"We're going to the festival later."

"What time are we going?" He asked.

"Um..maybe before dusk."

"I see."

"Please wake me up if it's time to go. I'll rest first."

I don't know why, but I really feel sleepy right now. Maybe pig syndrome?

"Have a good rest my lady."

"I'll see you later."

He nodded.

I entered my room and went to sleep directly.

....

"Why do you hate nobles?"

'Oh! The girl from my dreams earlier!'

"It's just that they act so close to me with evil intentions. Many of them want power and they use me to gain what they want." The boy replied.

'Ughh...I really can't see his face. So blurry.'

"Oh I know! You can just act as if you're the perfect noble and find out their pure intentions!" The girl said brightly.

"That's not a bad idea." The boy smiled

"Ack!" The boy expressed.

"What's wrong?! Are you alright?" The girl asked worriedly.

"It's nothing. I just have a small headache."

"Really?" The girl went close to his face.

"!!!!" He blushed.

'Oh my, what am I watching right now? A puppy's love?

....

When I woke up, the sky was almost dark.

It came again. The strange dream. Now, I'm thinking that it was no dream but a pure memory of Moriana.

'Who's the boy though?'

*knock *knock

"My lady."

A voice behind the door spoke.

I walked towards the door and opened it a bit.

"I'll get ready first Justin."

He nodded.

I changed into a pastel-colored dress. I only tied my hair into a ponytail and added a hairclip from the side.

I opened the door once again.

"Let's get going Justin."

"Yes, my lady."

We didn't ride a carriage since there will be many people who are going to walk by the streets.

The town was a ten-minute walk from the mansion.

When we arrived at the said location, there were many people who attended the festival. Whether it was a commoner or a noble, everyone was gathered togeter.

Kelly was right.

Stalls, shows, and entertainment were present.

While wandering around the area, I saw familiar people.

'The crown prince and the heroine!!'

Maybe the novel still has a chance after all!!
