Venezia's pov :

I was late . "Jesus Christ !!! This is the first time it's happening . Sister will kill me.!!!!!!" I shouted at myself while trying to put on my sandles .

I rushed towards the door and tripped almost falling over my robe but somehow managed to get back.

It's the morning prayer right now. "I haven't taken any shower what's wrong with me" I thought to myself while sprinting fast towards the cathedral.

As soon as I reached the cathedral , I greeted whoever stared at me and tried to hide my face by looking down.

Thankfully the chorus was getting sung and slid myself to the last bench and guess who was there standing beside me ? Daisy !!!

" Where did you go last night?" I whispered after nudging her in order to bring her attention to me .

"Oh , you're back"

Listening to her casual tone angered me more.

"tell me , did you enjoyed your night with the prince ?" Daisy nudged her back to tease her.

I stared at the wall and blushed for a second but then my blushing cheeks went away from being shocked at what I just heard.

"What?" I spoke , a little loud this time.

And with my bad luck always working , I gained attention of some of my sister teachers around. I gestured them in apologizing manner and daisy giggled.

"You knew?" I whispered in frustration.

"Yeah , I just went to the washroom. And when I came back and looked for you , you were out there at the door and the prince was holding you so tight .ahh !! I could just die with that view" daisy whispered back and giggled.

"So I decided to let you have him all alone this night , but I have my next turn okay ?"
She teased again.

"I was getting furious on daisy but I couldn't say anything. All I wanted to do is shout at her , so I decided to remain silent. What obnoxious thought? She's next ? I wonder how many girls might think like that for him and there he was falling in love with a guy , oh how cute!?
I knew he wasn't good with the sword , I predicted it. Ah , I'm so intelligent...." My thoughts totally consumed me during the prayer.

With that , my voice fades away...

Mark's pov:

As soon as I started heading towards the monastery , walking casually humming a tune in my own. There he was , my master . Standing at the doorstep with the stick. Waiting just for me.

"You're late!"

"I know"

"Very well then , do you accept your mistake and apologize ?"

"Sure okay , I'm sorry !"

" Oh no son , you're in great trouble now.
There is a pile of dishes from last night's dinner , I've told the cafeteria staff to not wash it . So , they're waiting for you"

"Oh , okay"

Master got so confused on my replies . He huffed once and went back inside .

I directly headed to the backyard of the monastery , daydreaming on my own.

Right now , everything seemed perfect . The pile of dishes smelled like roses and the seat I was sitting in while doing them ? Well that was Comfi bed to me.

All the problems in this world have been resolved and the world is a better place now , finally .

When I washed the clothes, It felt like the birds danced on my tune . And when I was hanging them , the sun played hide and seek with me .

Now I had lots and lots of good friends. The squirrel was being too naughty today and I helped a caterpillar to get back to his home.

"The dark sky within me has finally found it's stars" I thought to myself.

I felt reborn .

My mind started working a little when I saw her . I was in the kitchen cutting carrots and my head turn casually up trying to smell the stew I was preparing. That's when I saw her .

She was peeking at me through the kitchen's window. She was standing there , holding her bible in a simple white dress. "Has she always looked so beautiful?" I thought to myself.

She tried to hide her laughter but it worked in order to tease me. I love everything she does , but I didn't showed it on my face .

I acted out like I was annoyed , just to gain her attention but then she walked away. I know right ? it hurts !

By the evening I was exhausted , I don't know why ? Because the evening was so calm and silent like the sea. There wasn't much to do now , and I could hardly distract myself. There were boys reciting the evening prayer . I was also told to do the same , but I could hardly focus on it.

Everytime I close my eyes , I see her. I really wanted to see her .

Everyone at the hall was busy in thier prayers . I was told to pray and meditate too , but how can I ? All the thoughts were filled of her .

And , I love how she moves holding her sword . What a view that was , how her perfect body twists and turns making those sharp cuts ....

And her sword , it just fix so perfectly on her sleek hands .

I remained thinking about her and then it hit me.

Sword ! Her sword !! Oh yes ...

I couldn't resist myself when I opened my eyes . There was absolute silence in the prayer hall and everyone was in deep meditation , including the master .

It was the perfect time to escape . So I slid myself from the door behind me and walked out into the convent .
