The carriage stopped in front of the imperial palace..
* Sigh*
Anisha sighed and stepped out of the carriage holding Owen's hand..
Owen Stuart, is her newly assigned escort knight..
Blonde hair and amber eyes..tall and strong built..
He is not some ordinary knight..
He is a shadow knight..
In her past life, she never had one..
Well, it wasn't necessary actually..
Because she was always at home..
And before her marriage with Egar, Harllod was her escort knight for only a month..
Well, this time it's different..
She now have a escort knight..
Well,
She had to accept it, in exchange of going to the festival..
'Ugh! I thought Leon would help me, but he helped dad instead.. Well my motive fulfilled anyway, so it's fine..'
Anisha thought while walking towards the Iris palace with Owen behind her..
Infront of the Iris palace she saw a man standing.. Noticing her, the man walked towards Anisha..
Brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a black suit, It's Shen..
Egar's Attendant..
Suddenly she felt nauseous and dizzy.. It felt like someone was hitting her head strongly...
It was because of some dark memories that start to flow...
Shen..
Shen Dalian..
Egar's attendant and most trusted person..
The day of Anisha's 19th birthday, means one year before Anisha's fated execution, Anisha was accused of Shen's murder..
Everyone witnessed it how Shen's lifeless body was lying on the ground of Anisha's office...how Egar cried holding Shen's bloody lifeless body...how Anisha was holding a dagger in her hand....and how her hands and dress was full of blood...Shen's blood..
Anisha tried utmost to justify her innocence....But no one believed her...
Well, it's obvious anyway...
In the end no one knew who actually killed Shen..
No one but Shen himself...
Anisha let out a short sigh to calm herself down..
As Shen came forward, he bowed to Anisha politely and introduced himself and offered her to follow him..
Anisha is now walking towards the royal library, with Shen and Owen with her...
'So today's destination is the Royal Library.. Hmmmm...Not bad.. It's a perfect place to keep quite.. '
Anisha thought by herself...

* Knock Knock *
"Your highness, Lady Verita came..."
"Let her in..."
Then Anisha entered the library, while Owen stayed there to guard the door because Shen didn't let him in..
As Anisha entered the library, a familiar smell of books surrounded her..
"Welcome to the Royal Library, Lady Verita.."
Anisha looked at the side and meet the dark blue eyes..
Egar was standing beside the bookshelf on her left, while holding a book..
He slowly walked towards her..
Loose white shirt with black pant, while hairs are little messy..
Still he looked like a prince from a fairytale..
Anisha looked at him silently.. He was the man who turned her life upsidedown..
Her eyes that looked at him were lifeless and empty..
"Have you been well, Lady Anisha?"
Hearing Egar's voice Anisha came back to her sense..
"Uh! Greetings your highness.. I've been well, thank you for asking.."
Anisha stopped talking again.. She didn't even asked about his well beings..
'She lacks basic mannerism..'
Egar frowned a little but didn't give it much thought..
"Why don't Lady Verita also choose a book, you can find all kinds of book here.."
Anisha nodded and looked at the shelves around her..
A familiar place... Familiar silence... Familiar peace... Familiar smell of books...
The Royal Library of Beatrice..
Anisha spent most of her times here after the Saint arrived..
Because, Nobles keep approaching her at her office, to discuss about matters that involves the Crown Prince and the Saint.. It was frustrating..
So, to escape those people and their hurtful gossips, Anisha took cover in the Royal Library..
A perfect escape from people and reality..
Well she spent quality time here in this library, alone with the books..
Well, no, not alone.. Maybe there was someone here.. Who?
'I'm sure I had a company here in this library.. Someone dear to me? I'm not sure..'
Anisha tried to think hard but it only gave her a slight headache.. So she stopped thinking about it and focused finding a book..
