Staring at the extravagant building, decorated with rich taste, I couldn't help but admire it. No matter how often I have been here, this never gets old.
I know these walls brick by brick, but today, they feel foreign. Is it because I am nervous? I shouldn't be, but I am, and I hate to admit that.
"Honey?" Dad's voice brought me back, "What are you waiting for?" he asked a few steps ahead of me. I shook my head and followed him, ignoring the pit in my stomach.
As we entered the Palace, a feminine voice chirped. It was Anne. She came running towards us. She greeted Dad, hugged me, and smiled brightly as she always did. It calmed me somehow.
Now that I look at her, she has grown more beautiful over the year. Her mid-length hair was now long and braided at the moment. She had a different type of glow on her face, maybe because of her cultivation.
