Chapter 217 - Satiana’s Decision (1) (2/2)
'This just made my hunch even stronger, this abnormal winter here in Jennovia is definitely made by magic.' I thought to myself.
The carriage was parked by the entrance and was waiting for us. Upon entering, William lends me his hand to assist me in going up while Jack was tending to Satiana.
”We will be riding behind you.” William gave me a reassuring smile and closed the carriage door gently.
In no time, the carriage started to move forward. The travel to the Matias estate will take about thirty to forty-five minutes at most. The time is still long and I decided to talk to Satiana now that we are alone inside the carriage.
”Sati, can I seat beside you?” I asked politely. With seating beside her, we can talk discreetly without the coach man hearing us.
”Of course big sis.” Satiana replied happily. She made room for me to seat beside her.
”Sati, we have been together for a long time now. I really see you as a little sister to me.” I said with sincerity.
”It has been more than a year now because I met you when you were still in a coma.” Satiana smiled. ”I also look up to you as a big sister.”
I inhaled deeply and braced myself on what is to come. ”Sati, you know that I was taken here by your brother and mother against my will. And I want to go back to the people I love, especially to Regaleon my one true love.”
Satiana was shocked at first but then had a sad face. ”I know what you mean big sis.”
”Sati, I have been away from my loved ones for a long time now. And I think it is time for me to go back to them.” I looked at her with conviction.
”Y-You mean you're leaving?” Satiana looked at me in surprise. ”But the queen… my mother, she won't let you.”
Satiana knew that even though I am free to go anywhere inside the palace and around the capital of Jennovia, I am still a prisoner and cannot go too where I really wanted to be. Guards had been stationed around me and were monitoring my movements.
”I know that. That is why I have planned my escape from the palace by the end of this week.” I told her. ”I have to tell you, the head servant you have a crush on, his real name is Jack. He was sent to me by Regaleon to help me escape from here.”
”The head servant… his real name is J-Jack?” Satiana looked confused. ”He really isn't a male servant here?”
I shook my head regrettably. I didn't mean to keep it from Satiana. I just thought it will be more dafe for her not to know much. ”I am sorry if I hid this from you Sati. Please understand, I am in the enemy's lair and I need to be cautious in everything I do. Also the knight that was assigned to me is also in disguise. He is my best friend from Alvannia, William. He was able to infiltrate here with the help of Jack.”
Satiana was silent for a moment. Maybe she was taking all of this information in. I know that this deception is a lot to take for a little girl, but I am here right now trusting Satiana with my secrets.
”I-I understand big sis.” I can see small tears at the rim of Satiana's eyes. ”I know you belong somewhere else big sis. It's just that I will be very sad and lonely when you leave.”
My heart ached looking at this little girl crying. The two of us really have bonded within this past year, we that really didn't belong inside the Jennovian palace in one way or another.
”Sati, I want to ask you. Would you like to come with me?” I asked while looking into her eyes. ”I want to take you away with me, out of that palace.”
