Paris was very confused over his friend's behavior, he felt as if there was something in Adrian's feelings which he was completely oblivious too. For some reason he felt as if he should apologize for something, but he had no idea why. Maybe it would be best to just let it go. If something bothered his friend he was certain that he would talk to him about it.
He nodded his head and gave a friendly smile, though even he felt slightly less energetic at that point. "This way." He motioned, but for whatever reason he did stay a few steps away from Adrian this time. Weird, nothing had really happened between them and still he could feel a growing wall. Maybe it was his imagination that took over a bit.
They entered the part of the garden that grew roses in different colors. When all of them bloomed they made beautiful images. But that wouldn't be visible during the night. Even so, Paris thought they were even more beautiful during the night as they almost shimmered in the moonlight. While roses wasn't his favorite flowers, the rose garden was definitely his favorite place in the garden. "This is it, the rose garden." He said, noticing how dull it seemed when saying it out loud. "It has been here since medieval times, around 700 years ago when this castle was first built." He explained. "It is said that the king of that time proposed to his one true love in the middle of the garden, completely surrounded by roses. Years later, they died at the same spot."
"Some say that those whom confesses their love at that very spot will live happily and be forever bound until death do them apart. Others say that the roses are forever cursed by the first king and queen, if you ever confesses your love to someone close enough to the roses, then they will hear you and your love will end in tragedy." It was a story his mother often had told him. It didn't mean much as their people didn't believe in curses, it was just a story. "But I think the last one is kind of humbug, my father proposed to mother out there, and so far they're pretty happy." He wondered slightly if he ever would find someone whom he would love enough to take to that very spot. Or if he would fall for the pressure and marry someone just for the sake of marriage.
