Chapter 69: Free

Cielo hadn't felt this free in so long, she was finally able to say the words she wanted to say and do the things she wanted to do. She didn't feel as though she was trapped within her own body, there was no fate that she needed to adhere to for fear of change. She was glad for her decision, she was glad that she had been able to become honest to herself and most importantly to Edmund.

She sighed in contentment, the fountain pen in her hand was held to her forehead as she stared at the clock on the wall of her classroom, lost in her thoughts. Her days thus far had been very peaceful, nothing especially unique or special to speak of. But the year's end was fast approaching. And because of the new year, there would be a few weeks of break, which would begin when the weather became better and much clearer. It would make the trip down the academy and back to the capital of both kingdoms safer and easier for students.
