((Really poor post, but I wanted to get a post in before work!))

"He's as good as dead to me," Adelaide snapped, backing further away from her father towards the door. Shaking her head, her eyes widening when he mentioned her wedding Kervall and even more so at his latest revelation. He was marrying someone else?! So soon after her mother's death. A lump formed in her throat and her stomach twisted and turned, making her feel violently sick. Taking a deep breath, she tried to steady herself against those dreadful words that had just fallen from her father's lips. How could he expect them to accept this as well? He already know how much she despised the idea of a war and now he was getting married to some woman who she had yet to lay eyes upon. No doubt she was some harlot who had latched herself to the King and comforted him in his hour of need in order to get her leg over. That thought only made her feel worse.

"Then I shall hate her as well," She hissed, turning and striding from the room. However, paused at the door, looking back towards her father. "And I shall not be marrying Kervall. He politely denied my proposal earlier this afternoon. So it looks like you're plans to wage war with the Winslers will have to be looked at." Whipping around without another word, she left the room, more tears on her cheeks. Could her heart possibly hurt anymore? It felt like someone had shredded it and left her with only the pieces. First Kervall had kissed her after saying they could never be together. And now her father was to marry once again without even waiting for the death of their mother to pass. Her chest felt ready to exploded with all the feelings that it contained. Worst of all, it was her own fault. She shouldn't have stormed off and left Kervall in the woods like she did. Indeed, it was wrong of her to do so. She couldn't imagine just how he was feeling. Worse than her undoubtedly. Guilt was now added to the emotions and she felt her heart turn heavy with it.

Without realising where she was heading, she found herself in the gardens. Halting, she took a deep breath, closing her eyes. The sun was slowly setting and the sky was a brilliant pink, but Adelaide ignored all of that. Instead, she sunk to the ground against the wall of the castle. Placing her forehead against her knees, she allowed her body to shake with sobs. Her whole frame shook as she felt the tears stream. When she looked up, she realised the flowers closest to her were the ones that she often sent to Kervall. They were dying, for their time was over. Another lump formed in her throat. If that wasn't a sign then she didn't know what was. Adelaide let out a frustrated scream, resting her head against the wall. She had no idea how close Kervall was to her, just across at the fountain where they had first talked.
