Rowena Roseland sat by the window on her tower. Even though she could return to her beautiful room, she chose to stay here.
She felt trapped and yet incredibly lonely. Her hands rested underneath her chin as she stared out at the night skies and tried not to sigh.
Everything that happened was because of King Draco's desire to achieve his goal—and Rowena was dragged into it. However, there was not one moment where Rowena longed to see Raphael again. She missed him terribly.
And then it happened.
After what seemed to be a long amount of time, Raphael appeared inside of Rowena's chambers.
He sent two messengers to deliver the formal invitation to King Draco but he wanted to see Rowena right away.
Raphael saw his fiancee looking glum and he quietly approached her, right until he was close enough to wrap his arms around her waist.
He planted a soft kiss on her nape and greeted her. "Rowena."
