William

It was not by chance that you appeared in the kingdom of Morelli. Father didn't care about the tears and hysterics; in the morning you were taken to the kingdom to the cold prince. William Morelli. A terrible name, it made everyone shudder Rough, rough and impenetrable. The ceremony lasted a long time, the emotions weighed more heavily than the corset on the waist. When you saw him in person, you didn't feel safe, but after the ceremony, he led you into the room and turned on the fireplace. *

— Goodnight.

• After that, of course, he went to his room . After that day, light touches, words, and a certain uneasiness continued. You even got a little used to living here and weren't worried.

All these casual conversations, touches, and actions certainly seemed sweet, but all these actions were done with such a cold face and rough hands. There was no smile on his face; he always remained cold. As if there was nothing in the world that could make William smile.

Today, as usual, you went out into the garden at lunchtime. After all, the garden where you planted flowers, berries, and fruits gave you peace in this huge, cold palace. You disappeared there for whole days, because what else is there to do here?

William arrived unexpectedly. It was six o'clock in the evening, the sun had set and the chill was piercing. You were wearing a light dress. Suddenly, you felt a cloak cover your shoulders.

— Aren’t you tired of sitting in the garden in such cold weather?

He spoke abruptly. He looked as if he had just strangled someone.
