She looked around.
No one.
Walking lightly, Beatrix walked without a sound to the river. Her soul always felt at peace there.
The sound of the river calmed Beatrix as she walked to the edge and sat down beside the river, looking into it. She saw the reflection of her face and beside her, the moon.
She had never seen it so full.
Beatrix touched the water gently with her hand and shuttered as her reflection rippled with the water.
Sitting back and looking at the moon, she sighed.
Why am I following Brahne?
Why am I being so blind?
Is it because I believe in Alexandria?
Or myself.?
I never used to think about things like this..
Why now?
Her thought was interrupted by the sound of clanking armor. There was only one person who dared to not hide his sound.
Adelbert Steiner.
"Beatrix." He whispered.
She sighed and composed herself. "Just a coinsidence again, Steiner? Just like every other time?"
"You accuse me of- N-no Beatrix. I came to speak with you."
She seemed shock. "We have nothing to speak of, Steiner."
He came closer and sat down beside her. "Let me go with you to the Outer Continent."
"How did you find out, Steiner?! No one is supposed to know!"
He chuckled and looked at her. "I never thought I'd say this, but you are really beautiful."
1 Steiner.
After all this time..
"Why do you tell me this now?"
"You leave tomorrow."
She looked away. "Do you ever feel it?"
2 The Queen will have my head if she hears of this affair!
3 The Queen.
"When you look at me, do I know I love you? Yes."
She closed her eyes as if it hurt and stood up. "I barely know you.."
"Beatrix, let there be a chance! Tomorrow is too late."
"This is so unlike you." She said as he stood up and grasped her hands.
"Beatrix, please. I love you."
Beatrix tore away from Steiner, walked to the stairs and stopped. "This can not continue. Should the queen hear of this, we will both be doomed."
"I don't care."
"Do you not know your duty?"
Steiner sighed yet again. "I know it well, Beatrix. However, I follow it blindly."
She continued up the stairs. "Tomorrow I take my leave. Goodnight, Steiner."
Steiner was left alone with the cold and the hopes for tomorrow. However, he didn't know what he would do.
No one.
