EVIE
A few hours ago…
Evie tilted her head and looked up at the sky. She was in one of the Palace windows with the most ethereal view of Paradis' naturally aesthetic scenery.
The cumulus cirrus clouds looked amazingly stunning today. She drew in a deep breath as it somehow eased off her thoughts.
As she closed her eyes, she realized that it seemed to be the first watch, hearing the marching boots of the royal guards who were changing shifts at that time.
She stayed there for a longer time and allowed the evening breeze to caress her cheeks, relaxing her thoughts.
She was in this position when the Duke of Thurelis suddenly appeared beside her.
She did not immediately notice him but heard his cheerful voice as he spoke, "A chronos for your thoughts?"
Realizing that she was not alone, she opened her eyes at once.
