Taking a Step Ahead.

The sound of the running hooves of the horses and the carriage wheels echoed as it made a stop at the entrance of the castle's double doors.

The Coachman was quick to jump down from the driver's seat to open the carriage doors. Behind the Coachman was Emily who stopped beside him ready to assist Perdita.

Sthena was the first to step down from the carriage as he held out his hand to assist Perdita, his hand gently and protectively wrapped around hers to make sure she didn't trip.

The Coachman and Emily bowed as the duo walked past them and into the castle building hand in hand.

"Milord," Daemon appeared from behind the double doors of the castle's entrance having heard the sound of the carriage wheels earlier. He bowed towards Perdita in greeting who also politely acknowledged with one of her own.

"Any problem, Dae. Your face speaks urgency," Sthena stared briefly at Daemon while he maintained gentle strides to keep up with Perdita's steps.
