Fear

Lilian and Leo could not express their shock. They stood there in the doorway, taking in everything that was happening. They were held in awe as the whole thing unfolded between them. After a few minutes of watching, Lilian quickly ran out of the room to alert her parents who were outside. She turned around once more to catch a glimpse of the sight.

She didn't have to make it public, since she did not know if her father and mother supported such. Her face was full of mixed feelings -amazement and sheer joy. But with the happy expression on her face, the servants knew instinctively that Rin's room was not burning after all.

They all continued to wonder what was be amiss, but they were not allowed too near Rin's room now, since even the queen and the king could not go near it for fear of fire. Lily was already panting when she got to her parents who looked very disturbed.
