Today is the day that Nakaba leaves the tower, Adele thought to himself. He left the castle through the servants' door, the same as any other day to visit her. He walked towards the rose garden, which surrounded the old tower. Adele saw Nakaba sitting on her little wooden chair as usual. She was asleep. Nakaba was unusually pale and had dark shadows under her eyes. He walked up the stairs and unlocked the strong, wooden door.
He entered the room quietly. Adele saw that she was still wearing her night down and had her long red hair loose. That was the first time he saw her hair loss. She would always plait it into one plait. He ran his fingers through her, blood red hair.
Nakaba eyes fluttered open and she saw Adele. He was inches away from her face and he was playing with her hair. She yelped in surprise and fell off her chair. "Why are you here so early in the morning?" he just stared at her. His eyes were full of a wonder and emotion she didn't recognize. "Today is your lucky day!" he said. She raised an eyebrow at him, but he ignored it and continued "You are leaving the tower today and for ever! Also you becoming my bride." Nakaba was speechless for a moment and then she suddenly stood up and yelled "Why am I becoming your bride?"
Adele answered "Because you are royalty and when you conceive my children they will be full blooded royalty" when Nakaba was still dumbfounded he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the door and out. Nakaba looked down and saw stairs. Nakaba has been locked in the tower for a long time and hasn't ever walked over a few metres. She gulped and went down the first step then the next. On the third step she slipped and Adele swiftly catched her and carried her, bridal style down the stairs. She blushed as her dress had gone up past her knees and she was so close to Adele.
When they exited the tower, Adele placed her down. She looked in amazement at all the roses. There were white, red and black roses. Adele walked towards the red roses and picked one, as it was as red as Nakaba's hair. He handed Nakaba the roses. When she was about to say thank you, she noticed hi hand was full of blood. The thorns cut his palm. She quickly grabbed his hand "Hey, that hurts." He said. She grabbed the bottom of her skirt and ripped off a bit of it. She quickly bandaged his hand.
The dirty white fabric was now a deep blood red. Nakaba couldn't handle the colour and smell of the blood and fainted. Luckily Adele catched her and took her to the castle. He placed Nakaba onto his bed and watched her sleep. He looked at his bandaged hand and whispered into Nakaba's ear "Thank You
