Chapter 1
The girl’s shadow fell on the kitten, circling around the chair on which the mistress was sitting. The satisfied gray cat looked at the girl with a challenge that he expects attention and knows perfectly well that he will certainly receive it. The girl held a book in her hand, but the pages remained unread. What was she thinking?
After waiting long enough, the fluffy cat decided to take a nap. He sat down more comfortably where the last rays of the sun fell and hiding his legs under his cute little body, closed his eyes. And at this time, the girl was completely detached looking out the window. Sighing a little as if her thoughts were a thousand miles away, she thought of the past.
My family is somewhere waiting for me, or rather what is left of it. And this is my twin brother. “Felix,” she said with a breath.
-I believe you’re okay.
I hardly remember my childhood, but I remember that I was loved. The house in which I lived was huge, we had servants and mom with dad and Felix. Yes, I had everything! Unfortunately, our carriage was attacked when I was five. These were people in masks, and then as if in a veil. Their actions were cold-blooded, one thing was clear they were first-class killers. I still hear in my memories the cry of my mother and father, their blood, and after i fall out of the carriage. Head over heels rolled down the body down the slope, falling into the icy river, where later I was saved by Sir Kevin. I don’t remember anything else. Everything seems to me like a dream, as if there was no such life at all.
Sir Kevin temporarily sheltered me while we waited for my family to look for me and find me soon, but nothing happened. The problem was that it all happened on the border that divided the three kingdoms. And I can return if my relatives start their own searches, and we were able to respond. But time passed and a couple of months passed, he offered to stay with his friends.
They were a lovely couple who didn’t have children yet and they gladly agreed to take me in. They were engaged in the transportation of goods and stopped in the northern part of the kingdom to purchase the ordered goods. Their stay was coming to an end. And then Sir Kevin invited me to go with them. In case of any news, he promised to send a letter immediately. And I agreed.
- As soon as you arrive at the estate, write how you got there. And you little Felicia, keep this kitten. His eyes are similar to yours, he could not pass by such a handsome man. Take care of him, ″ he said with a smile, stroking her head.
“I promise to take care of him!” Felicia said, smiling for the first time. Then she hugged the knight, whose arms were hanging in the air from surprise. Recalling, he hugged her back. In his head, he begged God that the baby was healthy and bless her. - It’s time for us, Sir Kevin. The carriage is already in place. The three of them got into the cart and Felicia, holding the kitten on her lap, fell asleep calmly, probably for the first time in a long time ...
