The GardensShe should have went to the ballroom. It was prime time for any lord or lady (military or other wise) to make an appearance and shine. It was especially an important location for those who were of marrying age. She fell precisely in that category, and it was the exactly reason Gavriella Marcell avoided the ball room like the plague.
She was too confused over her own emotions about her father becoming a Duke and her entire life changing in an uncontrollable spiral that she felt was getting too far out of her control. But that was just it, wasn't it? As a woman, she
couldn't be in control. Her fate was sealed the moment her mother conceived, and her father, thankfully, saw fit to wait to marry her off.
She was nineteen now, but this ball, she knew was important, and she knew, once her father found her and dragged her out- she was very well sentencing herself to whatever fate had in store for her-
And she just wasn't ready for it yet. She was still young, still naive and...
Still very much in love with with the idea she'd just live at her brother's side to help aid him rule the duchy, as if nothing else in the world would come into play and ruin that. THey had been so close.. To be married off would rip her from her best friend and break her heart.
It would take a long time for the spoiled girl to get over. She was a foolish, foolish girl, and she didn't care as she moved towards the garden walls. It appeared there was some sort of a hedge maze. She lingered at the entrance, hesitant to just lose herself within it but at the same time...
Desiring it- all of it, and to just get lost away in the night.
She didn't bother to peek behind her before slipping off into the garden maze.
If her father couldn't find her, she might not be dragged into some kind of marriage proposal. It was a silly idea, and her father would be furious...
But she couldn't stand the thought to be separated from her family.
What about her mother? She couldn't stand to consider moving away from her, too!
