Even though it's memorial day and it's one of those days where I should just return home, I think this is a little gift from my parents. It feels like they're telling me not to worry about today, and go out for once in awhile. Today's really different from other days. The same day in the past years, I visited Velder Village just to go see the memorial. I never got to see what was really happening inside this village.
Never letting go of my hand, Elsword showed me around the village. Passing the people who are selling goods, he led me to the kingdom step by step. I never knew how the kingdom looked like even though I heard that it's huge, that not one human being can fill the whole size of the kingdom with just two eyes when standing inside Velder.
"Aren't only royalties accepted to enter the Kingdom? Are you like... someone in a high level?"
I asked Elsword out of curiosity. Even though practically we are friends, there isn't much information regarding Elsword that I know of. Elsword seemed to hesitate for a moment while scratching the back of his head, but he answered, "Yeah, I'm actually one of knights in the Velder Academy Knights."
I stared at him with surprised sparkles in my eyes. He seemed as if he was around same ages as me yet he was one of the brave knights fighting for Velder. He chuckled with embarrassment filled in his voice as I continued to stare at him with surprisement.
As I walked the beautiful halls of Velder with Elsword, we exchanged a lot of conversation with each other. The more I knew about him, the more comfortable I felt and the nervousness of entering the castle was soon vanished. However, the uneasy feeling I felt earlier was still lingering our surroundings. As we walked the halls, couple maids and students of Velder glimpsed at Elsword but they quickly looked away.
Maybe because a poor citizen like me is walking around with a proud knight, I thought as I shrugged the uneasy thoughts away.
Soon enough we reached a giant door. I looked at Elsword with confusement and he gave me a playful smile. He opened the door and a cool breeze and bright sunshine welcomed us. It was breath-taking. A gigantic windows covered the entire side of a wall with beautiful curtains on the side dancing with the wind. A huge, fancy bed was set on the side of the room with other furniture surrounding it.
"Welcome to my room." Elsword said silently as we entered. As I was gazing to his room with excitement filled in my eyes, he grabbed my wrist and took me to the other corner of the room. Another giant door was standing in front of us once again.
"However, since we can't share a room, here is yours."
He opened the door and once again, excitement was filled in my eyes. Fancy furniture and bed was placed with a bathroom in the corner of the room.
"This is the guest room. Since we looked around the Velder today, I'm guessing you're tired."
Elsword said as I happily jumped onto the most comfortable bed I ever laid myself on.
"Set your stuffs aside and relax. I still have other things to do so I'll probably be back when you're sleeping. You can leave the room but don't leave this hall. Got it?"
"Got it!"
I yelled as I let myself sink into the bed.
"Oh and take this."
Elsword threw a necklace at me. The necklace was light-weighted, with a red jewelry stoned in middle of gold.
I got up and stared at him with confusement.
"It proves that you're a welcomed guest in Velder Kingdom, so don't lose it or you'll be kicked out. Night, Aisha."
I gulped in fear of the thought of being kicked out of the Kingdom and clenched into the necklace as I held it near my heart. I replied back to Elsword's farewell and let myself drift off to sleep.
Bright lights shined through the thin curtain of my room as I woke up. As soon as I opened my eyes I saw a fancy chandelier greeting me as I smiled happily. I reflected back to how I met Elsword and the events that happened throughout just two days. There was many things I learned about the boy I just met. He's actually two years younger than me, so sixteen. He has one older sister named Elesis who is also one of Velder Knights and is his role model. He doesn't like his cousin named Add because he always steals Elsword's chocolate.
Soon, I got up and walked over to the bathroom and cleaned myself. Then I heard a knock and a familiar voice over the door and walls of my room.
"Aisha, are you awake?"
"Yeah, hold on!"
I answered back to Elsword who questioned my status. I quickly walked over to the door and opened it.
"What's up?"
"I have a place I want to show you."
Elsword greeted me with a smile and a plan he has for me today. I smiled back and followed him outside. As we walked the halls of Velder Kingdom once again, I realized he was wearing an armor today. Armor with mixture of silver, red, and black with giant sword placed on the back of his body. So he really is a knight. Soon enough we reached the first floor and he took me outside. I thought he was going to be showing me something inside a castle.
"Where are we going?"
I asked him with curiosity but he gently smiled and answered back with a playful voice,
"You'll know soon."
Then Elsword covered my eyes with his hands and said,
"Don't open your eyes until I tell you to do so."
I gulped and nodded my head as I trusted Elsword and the place we are heading to.
"Ta-da!"
He said as he removed his hands and I opened my eyes. I gasped in surprise while he looked at me with pride covered in his red eyes. We were inside a white building with walls covered with glass. The area was filled with beautiful flowers and herbs that I grew up with.
"I could name all of these!"
I yelled with excitement filled in my voice as I jumped over to read the labels on the flowers.
The delightful scent of flowers filled the room as I ran around with excitement with Elsword following me with a smile on his face.
"Aisha- I have something to tell you."
I asked him while staring at the beautiful flowers. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but bravely told me the news.
"I know that this seems to come out of nowhere, but if you like it so much here, do you want to become a pharmacist for the Velder Kingdom?"
I looked at him with surprise. A pharmacist for the Velder Kingdom? Surrounded by beautiful herbs I grew up with while being inside such a beautiful kingdom, the thought of it already made me happy.
"Y-Yes! Of Course!"
The fear of being rejected in Elsword's eyes were soon enough gone with a feeling of accomplishment replacing it. He smiled with relief as I jumped up and down agreeing to the position he offered me.
"Oh my god, Elsword this is the greatest thing that ever happened to me!"
"Haha- that's great."
I held onto his shoulders with excitement filled in my eyes. He laughed at my actions.
"I have to tell my aunt!"
"W-wait, Aisha."
Sudden thought of my aunt entered my thoughts. She would be so proud of me to get a position inside the Velder Kingdom! I couldn't wait to see the proud look on her face! As I was about to dash outside the building, Elsword grabbed my wrist with a serious look on his face.
"Wait, you can't go, Aisha."
"Why?"
Sudden concern overwhelmed me as I stared at him with confusement.
"Just... no, please don't leave, Aisha."
I chuckled at the shy side of Elsword he is showing me. But I soon reassured him.
"I'll be back, I accepted the position you offered me anyway, so thank you."
I kissed Elsword's cheeks without thinking, and with surprised look on his face he released my hands as I smiled and dashed away up to the mountain.
What did I just do- I thought to myself.
"I KISSED A BOY'S CHEEK?!"
I yelled out loud as soon as I entered the busy street of Velder. Couple people stared at me with confusement and I felt my face turning red due to embarrassment. I tried to hide my face as I quickly ran to the exit of Velder and up into the mountains. I was beyond excited. Becoming a pharmacist with the skills I learned from my aunt, and working inside a Velder Kingdom? The thought made me hop around in happiness.
"I can always visit my aunt to collect more herbs and I can see Elsword often!"
I talked to myself as I past the beautiful field of flowers that I will be missing the sight of. Due to hopping and running up the mountains, it didn't take awhile for me to reach my house. I bursted the door open as I yelled out with excitement,
"Aunt, guess what! I'm a pharmacist in Velder Kingdo-..."
That's when I found my aunt lying in the ground on a pool of blood.
