A Tale to Tell (FallenCre)

"ENCRE! WHAT DID I JUST SAY!"

I yelped as I looked at my door to see a growling Eterna. "I-I'm so-sorry M-Miss Eterna! I-I" I stuttered as she cuts me off.

"Shut your excuses, and how many times have I already told you to not go in the forest!?! UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE KILLED BY A VAMPIRE!!!" She yelled as he slammed my door shut, making jump from the tension.

As Eterna left my home I took another deep sigh, taking my satchel and sketchbook, going upstairs to my room.

I glanced at my small space, fortunately it wasn't thrashed like what was downstairs. Cans of paint were in every corner in my room, different sizes of painted and clean canvases spread out on the floors and walls, newspapers on the floor below the paint cans to not stain the wooden floors, and most of all, pencils and brushes can be found anywhere. My eyes then darted at one painting, it was a painting of the royal family, I smiled and walked towards it.

My fingers trailing through the rough exterior of the painted canvas, the paint already dried from the past few hours that I was gone. I sighed as I glanced at the window, seeing the lovely view of the kingdom's castle and the small village down below it. My smile began to form a frown as I took one last glance at the painting. "Maybe... It's for the better..." I muttered, setting my items back on my desk, flopping myself down on my bed, not even bothering to change my clothes.

My eyes started to weigh a bit heavy as I finally drifted to a world of sleep.

If they want me gone... Then I might as well leave...

3rd Person's POV

The so called 'cloaked-butler', Suave was now at a distance from the village, as he looks at Encre's small home, her lights finally out. Suave sighed in relief as he continues to walk into the forest. Suave gave one last glance at the village, still hearing Eterna's loud yelling, though his eyes still gazed at Encre's home. "Poor thing..." He muttered to himself as he continues to walk ahead.

~The next day~

It was now currently 10am. Encre glanced around her room, with all of her important belongings being packed in a huge sling. A few clothes, her small sketchpad, a few pencils, pens and papers, small rations of food and of course, money. She was planning to finally leave the kingdom, to go and find another place to live, it was her only option if she wants to stop all the bullying and hatred around her. Yes, that's right, a fresh new start! She took a deep breath as she puts on her sling of baggage, carefully picking up the painting and left her now empty home, making sure to lock the door and placed her keys in a flower pot by her window.

She gave one last glance at her home and gave off a sad smile, turning on her heels as she skips along the village, going towards the royal palace.

"There she goes again..."

"Why would the prince like her? All she does is scribble on paper."

"She probably slept her way up with the prince! HAHA!"

There it goes again, more rumors and gossip spreading as Encre passed by the people around her. She still shrugged them off like usual, continuing on her path to the palace.

All of these rumors were just false, ever since Encre moved into the village a year and half ago, working as a painter under the royal family, the prince took a liking towards her, making everyone in the village falsely accuse her for such things, jealous on how would a small inferior mere woman like her would grab the attention of a Prince.
