>>Corvina
The pain had died down a lot in my ankle, but strong movents still send a jolt of agony. So, I stay put most of the ti.
I folded my arms and slumped back thinking about Hael
Where did he go? Why would he just leave so suddenly when he was the one constantly pestering . It's been like an hour since he left. I was still thinking when a ray of light pierced through the gloom
Hmm??
I heard the faint sound of movent nearby.
Startled, I turned to see where the voice was even coming from??!
It took so ti to get it, but it was coming from right above !!
What??!
I focused on it and it looked like there was the sound of magic being used there.
Hmmm?
A few monts passed and I kept my eyes up when suddenly the block above my head began to move.
What the hell?!!
It was a small block, it slid, then moved and so light entered the place. The light itself was dim, but for who was in pitch black darkness it felt like a lot and even made cover my eyes with my hands.
What the heck is happening?!?
"My Lady,"
!!!
The voice ca from above and I forced my eyes to focus. Through the small space made there I saw a part of his face.
"Hael?" No matter how hard I tried, I could actually only whisper because of how weak I felt.
"I got the right spot," He sounded proud of himself and then moved away.
"What are you doing?" I asked but my question was answered pretty quickly when a loaf of bread fell through the crack and landed on my lap
???
I looked down at it. I couldn't believe it. So, I grabbed it just to see if it was real and indeed it was very real.
"Eat," He said, "You don't need to move now."
I looked up at him in disbelief.
"Oh and this too," He threw sothing else through the crack and it landed on my lap but it wasn't food. I picked it up to check what it was but I still wasn't sure.
"What's this?" Through the light coming from the removed block, I held the small circular bottle and moved it between my fingers to examine it.
"Salve," He replied, "Use it on your injury." My heart fluttered.
"Oh," I told him I was injured to give him an excuse, but he chose to do sothing about it.
...
"I'll be back tomorrow," He began to block the area he made a crack through with the brick he carved out, "This spot is more dangerous than going to the cellar door." He explained and closed the space, "Be sure to eat," And with that there was total darkness again.
I stared at the food and the salve.
My chest and my feelings acted fuzzy, and even though I was in a miserable situation, my ears felt a little bit hot.
I'm not supposed to fall for him again, right?
Yet the hunger got better of . My stomach growled loudly as the sll of bread reached my nostrils and I couldn't help myself. I grabbed that bread to gobble it down and when I did, I felt so warm inside. The bread was so soft and sohow still warm.
Did he lace it with magic?
Tears stung my eyes again and my heart shook.
This isn't fair
Why is he doing these things for ?
Why?
Why is he making things easy yet difficult for at the sa ti?
He gave food so I can survive, but, at the sa ti, he's giving affection that's making lean on him more.
I ate the whole thing as the mixture of emotions tortured .
Will I ever be able to get out of it?

"I won't be leaving if I don't see Lady Corvina today." It's been two months since I last saw her at her birthday party and since that day there has been no sign of her. I sent so spies here but no one saw her either.
They told they saw no movents in her room and any other room where she could possibly be.
I'm worried,
"I didn't realize you were this close." Her father was the one who ca to receive and now sat in front of in the guest room.
"We're a lot closer than you think Count Cory," I folded my arms, "Now please, I'm requesting you again. Call her,"
"She's sick," He replied, "She doesn't want to et anyone."
"That's odd, she told I can visit her even if she was dying." I passed a professional smile to him.
"She didn't an it literally." He put on his facade
"I'm sure she did,"
"She's very sick, young lady, and you know how girls her age don't want anyone seeing her in her state."
Sly little bastard
"Let correct you Count Cory," I maintained my confident posture, "Girls don't like if n see them in that situation, they're perfectly fine if it's their best friend."
"Best friend?" He raised his brow at .
"Oh?" I leaned forward, "She didn't tell you? Corvina and I are best friends?" I passed him a haughty smile
"Is that so?" He didn't seem to buy it. But I guess that's understandable since we've only ever hung out while shopping. I guess I'll have to change that.
"Yes," I nodded, "And you can't keep her from her best friend now, can you?"
"I'm afraid I'll still have to decline," He was firm, "What if you et her and then catch her sickness?"
"I'm very sturdy."
"Kids say that all the ti, but if you end up getting sick, your father will bla ."
...
"Oh, okay," I nodded
He smiled, "Thank you for understand,"
"I'll call my father here."
"What?!?" His face imdiately went pale, "Call the duke here?"
"Yes, I'll call my father here, so he won't object to anything. I'll explain the whole situation to him, so you don't have to worry," I smirked, "I have no plans of leaving today without eting her."
"But, young miss,"
"You've been sending away each ti I ca for the past two months Count Cory," I glared at him, "I will not leave today without eting her."
He tried to be subtle about it but I noticed when he balled his fists, "I've been sending you away because Corvina has been sick for the past two months." The words still ca out of his mouth professionally.
"That's exactly why I want to see her. What kind of friend would I be if I abandon my friend in this ti of need?"
...
I finally got him in a bind and he shut his mouth. What did he do to her? Does he actually have her locked in a cellar? If yes, then what do I do?
"Okay," He stood up, "But you'll have to wait, Corvina would want to get herself ready before you can et her."
"I have all the ti in the world." An anxious feeling gnawed at my insides but I held myself strong.
He tried to smile, but that fake action ended up cracking, so he just turned around and left.
