Chapter 156: Grand Execution?

"I didn't know you were the princess," I said. I finally confessed. It'd been eating me for quite a while now.

"I may be a princess but I never really wanted to be one. Traveling around the world and searching for the meaning of my life has been my primary goal," she said.  She looked distantly into the horizon. The wind pressed and refreshed us. The smile never left her smile. It was blinding.

Meaning to life, huh? I wonder what the meaning of mine is.

"Tell me, how come all of you are cursed, and not Araan?" I knew the answer to that but I wanted to hear it from Lianne's mouth. Or more like I didn't have anything else for a conversation. 

"You've noticed? I must say, you're quite the adventurer now, huh?" She giggled. "When I first found you, I thought you must have been a poor soul, lost in the dread called life."

You weren't too far off the mark.

"I'm sure I still am." I tried to chuckle but the sound never came out.
