"I..."
She started softly, sniffing quietly before she tries to wipe her tears away with her sleeve.
"... I just wanted to send messages, that's all."
Shaking her head, she gave a wet yet weak laugh as if she has come to terms with her own stupidity and naiveity.
"Sorry if you were put off by the flowers since I was technically a stranger to you in this time.."
Clearing her throat, she peer up at him with her lone eye, smiling weakly yet tinged with nostalgia.
"My name is Bellarose. Most would call me Bella for short.."
Looking past him, she stare at the bouquet on the table.
"... I think it's best if you check what the flower means."
Before he could register her words, she mutters a spell underneath her breath before a flash of white took her away.
And just like that, she's gone...
...
Maybe this won't be the last time he seen of her.
...
*Lady Merlin was correct, after all. The intention may not be complicated.*
*Seeing Bellarose vanishing with a flash of light, Perseus takes a short moment to register the mage's name. Then, as per her words, he walks back into his house and takes a look at the fourth bouquet.*
*With the book, he quickly figures out this one.*
Begonia... So she was intending to wish me well?
*The General then takes notice of the withered wheat stalk as well as some leaves accompanying the flowers... His expressions are almost unreadable.*
... These leaves are from Wildborn territory. Is she also telling me to watch out for them...?
*Regardless, Perseus has a feeling that this might not be the last time Bellarose appears. Maybe the next round of flowers to convey more messages... Or just her, in person.*
*Who knows? Only time... and circumstances... will tell.*
