Her voice was so faint, as if it took all her strength and courage just to call out his name.
The rain was pouring down, drenching her body...
She lay there in the dirty water, lifelessly looking up at the night sky.
Suddenly, she laughed.
Even the heavens seemed to be mocking her stupidity.
What gave her the courage to give each other another chance, despite being hurt once before?
Couldn't even one death wake her up?
How much did she have to love Bernard to choose to walk down the same path again?
Eleanor suddenly laughed as she thought of the past pain.
With her scraped hands, she pushed herself up from the ground. Maybe it was because she didn't want to give up, or maybe it was to finally let herself give up.
She staggered towards the hotel, but before she could enter, she was stopped by dozens of security guards.
"Miss, this place is for the Royal Family of Arvandor only. Outsiders are not allowed in, please leave as soon as possible."
Royal Family of Arvandor.
A background that she could never reach in her lifetime.
Yet she still dreamed that such a man would marry her.
Eleanor seemed to understand everything and nodded to the security guards.
"Alright, I'll go."
She turned around and walked down the steps, her figure looking incredibly frail in the wind and rain.
She wanted to wait for an outcome, so she didn't really leave but chose to sit on a bench in the distance.
She sat there in the pouring rain, watching the hotel entrance. In this unfamiliar country, she waited alone for the man who said he loved her.
She kept thinking in her heart, if he came out now, she would believe whatever he said.
But...
Eleanor waited all night.
