Chapter 15: The Desire

  Isabelle

  It turned out that dinner was the time when I got the glimpse of Layla again, had for somewhat reason she asked the maid for her lunch to be taken to the room she was staying in. Currently, I was struggling with the steak that was on my plate, it had been long since I had eaten something like this....so long that I had even forgotten to use the knife and fork.

  For years, there was no need for using a fork or a knife, since the only thing I was served with was a weird sort of bread and plain water, sometimes the bread was so dry that I could hardly swallow it.

  Moreover, the guards used to keep all of the things away from me that could be used as a weapon, it was an unnecessary step for me because I never had the intention to hurt someone in order to escape the palace. I didn't want any family to grieve for the loss of their loved ones.
