Chapter One
I lay on my bed my eyes puffy and red with tears. They were wasted tears but I couldn't help myself. I had loved that girl. I still did. But now I knew that her feelings for me were not the same.
We had travelled to Tora together with Barda on a royal tour of the Kingdom. There she had sat at the long table where she had spotted a man, whose name I now know is Phillip, from across the room. I watched as she walked over to him. She smiled and looked to the floor shyly. That's just about the moment I knew she was lost.
Only a few hours ago she had rushed up to me and said "Lief! Lief! You'll Never Guess what Phillip just did!" She shouted. "What did he do?" I asked. "HE PROPOSED TO ME!" She cried. My heart ripped in two at that very moment. I could have burst into tears right then and there. But I didn't I asked a painful question that I already knew the answer to. With a gulp I asked, "What did you say?" "YES! I SAID YES! Oh Lief I'm so happy! This is the best day of my life!" she jumped up and down with excitement. "I'm…a…very happy for you…" I said trying to sound as cheerful as possible, "I'll…a…go and find Barda and tell him the good news okay. Bye," I hurried off, not to find Barda, but go to my room and sulk.
My one true love that could never be replaced.
Jasmine.
