[i]She had a strange daydream. It was of what the future might hold or something from her past that stuck in her head. She looked at the Gillian’s Castle from its palace and she had a kind smile on her face. She was approached by her father. [color=lightpink]”Father, what is it?”[/color] Angela asked. She looked at her father’s facial expression and it didn’t really bring confidence to her.

He shook his head and looked at his daughter and he was slightly nervous. “Angela… I have to tell you something important,” Rowan said. He wasn’t happy that he had to tell her this and not his wife. “The important thing is you are betrothed to someone from the south,” Rowan said. He sighed in relief when he said those important words to his young and impressionable daughter.

Her eyes opened wide when her father said betrothed. [color=lightpink]”Dad, why are you telling me this now?”[/color] Angela asked curiously. She shook her head in disbelief in what is going on now. [color=lightpink]”Is it... because you are ashamed of me?”[/color] Angela asked. She had tears going down her eyes.

He looked at his daughter’s degeneration to crying. “Because it is for the better the Gillian line if you marry someone of noble lineage like ourselves. We have told you for a while to stop what you’ve been doing,” Rowan said. He had no remorse in what he said and he was truthful in what he meant.

She started to cry. [color=lightpink]“Dad… you’ve never been this blunt though,”[/color] Angela sobbed. She walked by her father in tears. She had never cried this much.

He grabbed his daughter’s left arm. “I am sorry but would you liked being yelled at by your mother or me telling you this,” Rowan said. He let go of his daughter’s arm but he did tell the truth in this.

She heard what her father said and cried more. She ran into her room and laid on her bed with her face on her pillow. [color=lightpink]”I-I… feel helpless… is this what other nobles feel?”[/color] Angela asked herself. After that, it went to black.[/i]

She slowly opened her eyes and noticed an empty bedroll next to hers. [color=lightpink][i]”Uuh, who was next to me?[/i][/color] Angela questioned to herself. She shook her head a bit tried to figure out that. She sat up a bit and put her hands on her face but was not in a good mood. She was about to go into tears but something stopped her. [color=lightpink][i]”I hope… my day doesn’t turn out worse than that daydream,”[/i][/color] Angela thought to herself. She pulled her hands away from her face.

She got up from her bedroll and stretched a bit. [color=lightpink]”I miss my bed at home,”[/color] Angela said, [color=lightpink]”It’s comfier than the ground.”[/color] She walked somewhere near a wall and leaned on it. She started to eat her breakfast and looked at everyone who was there. She had much to think about while she ate her food.

She was taken aback from what Drajhan said towards the beast. She was startled when she saw and heard what the man standing in front of Drajhan said. [color=lightpink][i]”Oh my…,”[/i][/color] Angela thought to herself. She stayed there watching but she was scared and confused. [color=lightpink]”What’s... going on?”[/color] Angela asked. She wasn’t done with her breakfast when this happened.
