I lifted my head up as I stared across the vacant sky spread across the entire Velder Village. I raised myself up while plucking the last daffodil and placed it gently inside my basket. Alone, in the Field of Flowers- is something I never experienced. Sorrowfulness was over pouring my soul along with the thoughts of standing in the Field of Flowers with my mom, my aunt, and Elsword. The three important people were not next to me and the thought of two of them are deceased brought tears to my eyes. I quickly wiped the tears away with my sleeves as I walked back towards the village.
Today is September 9th.
The Memorial Day for Velder War- many citizens have already gathered up near the Velder King Statue as they placed their flowers on top of their deceased loved ones carefully. I placed daffodils on top of my mother's and my father's name with caution. I stared at the basket and there was multiple Bird's Foot still left.
Unfortunately, Elsword claimed he was overloaded with work, therefore, could not visit the Field of Flowers with me. I decided to pluck enough Bird's Foot for both of us- for my aunt and for his father. I promised the knight that I will place my parents' flowers first and that I will place my aunt's flower with him tomorrow.
I gulped down the sorrowfulness I felt as this was my first time placing the flowers by myself, with nobody next to reassure me. I inspirited my thoughts as I thought of placing the flowers down with Elsword.
Some students passed by me and acknowledged my being which brought pride to myself. At first I was an ordinary girl living in poverty that was soon rescued by a knight. Now I'm a well known herbalist and a pharmacy teacher for the Velder students.
Drowning in my thoughts also reminded me- that it's already been a year since I met Elsword. He was the one who changed my life as I always feel grateful at his actions.
And the first boy I loved - I blushed at my own thoughts as I reached my residence. I walked in without hesitation and layed down on my bed. As I let my mind expand its imagination, I slowly drifted off to sleep.
Birds chirping and the sound of tree branches knocking on my window slowly arose me from my sleep. Today is September 10th, and marks the seventeenth year since the terrible night of Velder War happened. I blinked couple times to clear my vision as I gazed up the clock. The hand was already pointing towards 12 as I thought, Wow I slept for a long time.
I swiftly cleaned myself and grabbed the basket filled with Bird's Foot as I headed towards the Velder King statue. Elsword and I planned to meet ten after noon, so I only had couple more minutes to spare by myself. The sensation I felt as I ran my fingers through the Bird's Foot trefoil was so mesmerizing that I didn't even hear the sound of the bell that rings every hour, alarming the citizen that it's noon.
I stared at the clock that was placed right underneath the statue of the courageous Velder King. Exactly noon. As I gazed down my sight at the thought of meeting Elsword soon, I suddenly came to a halt.
In between the flowers, there was a small name imprinted onto the stone right underneath the Velder King statue. I walked near it and slowly brushed the flowers away.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
A guard screamed furiously after watching my actions but I couldn't come to a halt. A sweat was tingling down the side of my face as I tried to process the sight in front of me.
The name that was imprinted onto the stone clearly said Velder King Elsword the Second.
The guard lifted me up by the arm and dragged me away from the statue, however, none of those actions were bothering my confused mind.
King Elsword the Second... ? That means Elsword is the Third, and he is the Prince of Velder currently. That's why Commander Raven was being so respectful… that's why he interrupted my aunt back when we first met him.. My aunt!
As I furiously thought about everything that happened, the warmful smile of my aunt and the brutal murder that caused my aunt to die charged into my mind.
"Did you know- the Prince of Velder ordered his guards to murder a herbalist up in the mountains?"
"But now I really know why he's called the Prince of War. He just kills everyone and next thing you know, he creates a war."
The conversation my students had with one another crashed into my brain.
The Prince of Velder is the Prince of War… Elsword is the Prince.
Sudden anger furiously poured into my body as I clenched my fist tightly.
Elsword killed my aunt.

Finally all the secrets are out! This is personally my favorite chapter because of that reason. XD
If you are wondering why I chose 9/10 for the day of Velder War,
it's simply because ... that's MY BIRTHDAY :DDDDD
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed reading!
