Chapter 4

"Lover's History"

Sebastian opened the door letting Ciel enter and not long before, Sebastian entered as well.

When they were inside, Ciel was blown away because of the sight before her. Standing in front of those three gigantic stained-glass windows was a magnificent white marble tombstone surrounded by the most pure and whitest while roses. There was a cemented pathway leading around and to the tombstone. Ciel walked towards it and looked at the tombstone searching for a name.

Fredert and Elliot.

"Who are they?" Ciel asked Sebastian who is currently looking at the stained glass windows.

"They were the lovers that built this church. This church was built one hundred years ago, before the great fire of our country"

"You mean the war that occurred here one hundred years ago, that caused the crisis of our country?"

"Exactly, they causes the war, they were the reason why the west and the east kingdom are at war that time."

"But why? I though it was about territories?"

"Not on their time"

"Then what's it about? How can two mere lovers caused a war?"

"They fell in love, you see Freedert was the princess of the west kingdom and Elliot was the prince in the east kingdom. Both their parents did not agree to this because they think that it is inappropriate to marry a prince or a princess from another kingdom, but they both love each other so much they decided to run away and live their lives in isolation from their parents. Some friends helped them to build this church and after all the hard work, their finally done building the church."

"Amazing…what happened then?" Ciel asked curiously.

"One day they woke up and were shocked of the news that their parents declared a war due to the kidnapping of the princess and the suspect is Prince Elliot, they thought Elliot kidnapped her and because of that, the war started. Elliot tried to fight but it was too late, one of the guards stabbed Elliot right in the heart and Freedert saw it with her own eyes, she rushed towards him and hugged him, her gown was stained by Elliot's blood and her cheeks were wet and cold with her tears. She couldn't stand being alone on her own so she killed herself with a dagger that was used to kill Elliot; her body lied down next to Elliot. They died in the church with only these stained glass windows to witness their tragic love story. And after that, some of the villagers found their bodies and decided to burn it, the stained glass windows is the everlasting memorial of these true lovers, and with one urn holds the ashes of these two lovers whom not even death could part."

After hearing this, Ciel was sadden and amazed by the story of Freedert and Elliot, not knowing that their kingdom holds such tragic memories.

"It's so sad…how can they be punished like this? All they did was love each other." Ciel said.

"Well, sometimes life is like this, we can do what we want, love who we want. But there will always be consequences in the end. Its how life works, we are only here to live, and we can never tell what will happen in the future."

"So life is really unfair…" Ciel said while remembering her life. Stuck in the castle and not being able to live the normal life that she wanted, the marriage to someone who she doesn't even know, what more, she didn't even love him. Being a bird looked up in a cage with no door and only being able to see the sky but not being able to fly, the 'almost' feel of the wind, the need to fly and sore high but cant. It was totally unfair, but now, a door has appeared on the once door less cage and just waiting for the right moment to be opened and meet the love of it's life. The sky.

Sebastian…

"Life can be unfair sometimes, it can even break you down, but it is up to you to fight back" Sebastian smiled and patted Ciel's head. Ciel blushed and smiled back at him.

"But how did you know such story?" Ciel asked

"I read it from an article in the library; I end up liking it and decided to read the whole book."

"Oh, alright" Ciel smiled again and follows Sebastian out of the church and watched as the sun finally sets. The warm orange sun rays touching her skin, the cool breeze on her face and the relaxing feeling together with Sebastian, they stayed together like this for a moment until they saw the brilliant night sky, shining stars, and the one and only mesmerizing moon. Maybe now Ciel knew why Prince Aleister's sweet words didn't affect her. Because the only words she needed was Sebastian's. and now she knew that her heart will never belong to Prince Aleiter, because her heart already belonged to someone else with out she even knowing it.
