There was a legend left untold about a handsome statue which the creator was unknown. It's whispered that it breathed once about a hundred of years ago, made of flesh not stone like it is at present.
He once walked the earth as the second son of the most influential man. Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he never met any hardships in life; he had the world at his feet ready to serve him in just a gesture of his powerful hand. However, after all of these blessings in life there's a hole inside his heart and his riches were not enough to patch it up. He desired to be loved.
Then the answer to his longing came in an ordinary sunny day. He was strolling in their property then he saw a lovely maiden dressed in nothing but a peasant's clothes. At that very moment he knew he fell in love yet he didn't seemed to be happy for he knew that what he's feeling was pointless…they were different, apart like heaven and earth.
But when does a heart ever listen to the mind? When does it see the imperfection set by the expectations set by humans?
The answer?
Never.
So off he went and sought her love without giving a damn to what his parents might say. He already knew how things would turn out but he didn't care. He's just a neophyte in the field of love and he wanted to experience the joy that it may bring.
She said yes and they were happy. They spent time with each other while hiding from those peeled eyes that would surely drag them back from their surreal world to the reality where they can never end up together. But no secret can be kept in such a long while sooner or later it would be revealed before the eyes of others…and it happened sooner than they thought…
His father found out their secret affair…and he ordered that her life be ended. For what reason? He framed her up and accused her of theft of a royal property and the prince couldn't do anything about it. She already admitted it so he wouldn't be dethroned.
A day before the execution, he went to the dungeon where his love was chained like a hound. There he laid his plan; they would escape the next nightfall and forget about the place where they are born.
The sun rose and set and the night came. The prince successfully freed the young maiden and off the castle they went but only to be greeted by the soldiers and to be escorted back.
On the way she told him the truth that she said to the guard their secret plan of elope in exchanged for her life and in exchanged of few gold.
His heart was shattered into million bits and swore to hate her until his deathbed. After he told this to her he went off without turning his head and granting her a last look.
What he didn't know was that, everything was a lie she mended to prevent him of losing his wealth. She loved him so much that she didn't like him to suffer the hardships of a peasant like her.
When this came known to him it was too late she was already hanged to her last breath. And at that very moment came out these words from his mouth "Why did you have done this to me? Have you lost your love for me? This pain in my chest, I can't bear. I wish I can't feel anything…" and he cried before her cold lifeless body. Everyone saw how much he was devastated but he received no soothing from them.
Suddenly the sky turned dark and it was followed by deafening thunderclaps and the lightning started to hit the trees and lastly it landed on the prince.
Everyone did nothing but gasped. When the smoke left the seen it revealed no burnt body but a life-size statue of the prince.
She heard someone yawning while the others are already sleeping. Like she expected no one would like to listen to her story. Even the professor looks bored. She sighed as she made her way back to her seat. Another failed writing attempt.
Anyway, at least she was able to submit her writing task thanks to the statue that Naruto gave her.
A/N what do you think? Review and please forgive me for the grammatical errors I'm not an English major…Hahaha excuses…Anyway, this is my first attempt to write a chapter story…
