The Black Cat and Taking Shelter from the Rain

The Black Cat and Taking Shelter from the Rain

中村くらら

Duchess Violetta, whose engagement to the Crown Prince was broken off, flees to the garden gazebo in the rain. A drenched black cat appears there. It was always the black cat that stayed by Violetta's side as she shed tears, unable to bear the painful training to become a princess. After the rain shower ends, Violetta says goodbye to the black cat. A happy ending after the engagement is broken off. *This is a short story written in 1,000 characters or less for submission to the 7th Syosetu Novelist Radio Award.
