Perplexed on how to address this so called villainess, the mood in the carriage remained sombre till we finally reached a stop.
With my mind full and hit with the sudden heroine like aura the villainess portrayed, I completely forgot our current destination. I only snapped out of it when uncle coachman declared that we have arrived at the castle.
The Royal Castle!
It would be my first time seeing an actual one! My heart started to beat with excitement. How I wish, I have my camera at the moment!
Excited, I hastily stepped out of the carriage.
Wow!
The grand residence was surely a sight to behold. From where I’m standing I could see a beautiful bluish hill. The royal castle could be seen peaking as it was nestled above the hill. Beyond north should be the cliff that serves as the death door for all deemed criminals.
What attracts my attention more was the vast plantation of multicoloured roses before the castle walls. Peculiar purple colored roses where planted at the central area forming a beautiful rose pathway towards the castle gate.
I’m enjoying the view when the princess bypassed me. Oh no, I totally forgot my manners! Thankfully the princess seemed not to mind as she urged me to enter the gate.
The castle guards saluted politely and gestured us towards the line of parked carriage. It seems like there was a separate carriage specifically used inside the castle premises. The lined up carriage are royal blue in colour and have the golden crest of Lindor royalty – of course it was the chocolate’s logo itself.
Meekly sitting down, I enjoyed the view all the way to the castle – as if I’m having my own special tour!
We stopped right at the front of the circular fountain. The princess then led me towards the garden. At the center, there was a beautiful bird cage like structure. It was designed like those usually seen in wedding events. This should be a tea area as there was only a mounted porcelain table erected at its center while similarly golden plated chairs are formed around it. The creeping vines crawling on top of this tea area accented the area with its pinkish flowers. I truly can’t help but pinch one of the flowers…
Tap. Tap.
After successfully getting my attention, the princess once again looked at me silently.
This… I’m so stupid! I completely forgot that I am not alone here!
While seated, Princess Lotte calmly looked at me as I animatedly enjoyed the beautiful surrounding. “Did you prepare the things I asked you previously?”
Ah? What thing?
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap… The continuous tapping simply describes the princess’ impatience. But I really don’t know ah!
“Ahmm, Princess… could you please enlighten me about it?”
Princess Lotte abruptly stopped tapping and look at me incredulously. As if losing her patience, she then waved her hand and marched inside the castle. I stood dumbly for a while before I finally realized the mistake I’ve made.
Oh no…
I helplessly slumped down the nearest chair. I was so excited seeing an actual castle that I completely forgot that I don’t know the current script! After the event of killing that father and daughter in town, I should now be at my own home… but since the plot in town has changed… did I in adversely triggered my own death flag?!
What the hell should I do?
Pulling my hair, I tried to recall the next event but it was to no avail! This was not in the plot at all! Hershey’s first castle appearance should be when the sidekicks were gathered on the day of the God’s thanksgiving …
Tap. Tap.
“Ah?” Startled with the sudden tap, I swiftly stood up only to be stunned as I’m now on a super close range with an extremely handsome man…
Gulp. Who is this deity?!
