But Pierre take me go with him, we will moved to his private island, along with some of his assistant.

"Scarlett, I will take you with me, no matter what."

"Yes, but are you sure?"

He grabbed my hand and we went out of the palace. He took us all over the city, from top to bottom. It was very crowded.

There were so many people everywhere, that it felt like a never ending river of people that flowed into each other. And there was so much noise.

People were shouting, screaming, crying, laughing. They made such a racket that their voices were echoing inside the whole place.

Some of the women were crying loudly, some of them shouted out loud, others just kept silent.

But they didn't seem to notice, and it was as if nothing could stop them, since they were all running around in an endless line.

The street vendors were selling delicious food, and the atmosphere was great, so much that everyone seemed to be having a good time.

The men were laughing, talking and joking, while the women had such a cheerful smile on their faces that you couldn't tell they were sad or angry or whatever they were.

All of these people seemed to enjoy themselves. It was amazing how everyone got along, even if they looked different from each other.

There were some who were more handsome than others. Those people were all wearing suits that cost more than your entire wardrobe combined.

You could see the envy in their eyes when they saw all those expensive clothes.

But the ones who wore dresses, which had long sleeves for modesty, and those who wore shorts, which made them look like they were about to run away anytime soon they seemed to be the happiest of the group.

So I thought that this world must be really kind and beautiful. Even though, in my opinion, there were no such things in this world.

But I couldn’t think of any other way that it would exist. Because that’s the only thing I understood at that time. I understood the world, but not everything about it.

So I just decided to put myself completely in trust of this wonderful, peaceful world and let fate guide me.

But now I know that this world was created by humans, which is why its beauty can still be seen in a human way.

But humans are not alone, because every single living being is a part of the creation of this beautiful planet called Earth.

Every single living creature has a soul. That's where the soul resides. That's where the real beauty lies. It doesn't reside here in the form of herself.

No. Its true beauty lies in its soul. This soul that was created by God, to bring light to this world and to bring beauty and harmony to mankind.

This world was created with a purpose in mind. To create the best world possible.

That was the first step. After that, everything will come together. Everything will fall back to its rightful place.

And I'll have no regrets, no regrets at all, ever again. I don't want to live in this cruel world anymore. I don't want to live in this cruel life.

"Now I'm free and free to do what I want. Free and happy. That's the word for it. So, let's make the most out of our freedom, shall we?" Pierre said enthusiastically.

"Okay," I replied with a smile, "but we need to eat something first, before we start anything new." I suggested.

Pierre nodded, satisfied. Then he ordered a few dishes and we ate them.

We ate lots of food because Pierre was hungry after all, and I was also very hungry after my long journey through the streets, with my heavy backpack full of all the books that I had acquired.

Pierre wanted to buy me a suit to wear, but I didn't like the thought of buying something fancy, considering that he always bought me pretty clothes.

He had already bought enough expensive clothes for me for all these years, so I just decided to buy a cheap one instead.

Pierre wasn't too happy, but he understood. At least I didn't spend money, which was always nice of him.

He did give me more money than usual, however. It was a special occasion. And I loved spending money with Pierre. It was the happiest moment of my life. I felt free when I was with him.

Even though I hadn’t been able to meet anyone yet, because I couldn’t leave home until I completed my mission, which was a year old now.

The day finally came when I could leave this miserable place, and meet someone else, maybe even someone better, and live happily with my Pierre.

I was ready to face the world that I knew, even though I still didn't understand what was going on.

I wanted to experience another world, just like Pierre. The world outside these walls was filled with darkness and cruelty. It would be a good experience for me, I was sure of it.

But I wouldn’t say that it was easy to leave this horrible place behind. I might have gotten used to it by then, but it would definitely take time for that to happen.

So Pierre and I agreed that we would both wait until the very last minute, just in case something bad happens.

But he promised me that he would accompany me wherever I wanted to go, and that he would protect me. And I believed him.

Pierre was one of the best friends that I ever had. So, he promised me that, no matter what happened, he would keep his promise.

Even though I don’t know if he actually planned on keeping his promise. He might have changed his mind, after all.

Pierre always had a habit of changing his mind at times. I tried to talk to him often about it, but he insisted that he would stay by my side forever, until the end of time. I believed him.
