Chapter 1: A peaceful start

This is the last thing she imagines when she snuck out of her bedroom at this freezing time of the day. At first, all she thought was another patrolling guard who managed to catch her enjoying the flowers in the garden...in the middle of the night.
But no...the closer she looks, the closer the figure steps towards her... ever so gracefully...
Lynden represses a gasp, as her eyes go wide, stunned while the person, who also has the same bewilderment expression, stares back at her.
Almost as if by fate that pulls the knight and her crush together on this peaceful, yet chilly night. Almost like, in her racing mind, the only chance that the Goddess gifts her with.
