#Chapter76
ISABELLE’S POV
We enter the palace’s boundary. Soldiers immediately bow upon seeing the king. Barden also joins them. It is early in the morning that’s why I think Barden is here. The sun has risen not so long ago.
/"Welcome back, my king, my lady/". Barden greets us. The king nods while I don’t say anything. I have nothing to say to him or any other person. The king did not talk with me throughout the journey. I also did not say anything to him. I never thought that I would confess my love to the king like this, like a vulnerable person.
I look towards the palace and the flags of the Alsair Kingdom. I think it is the first time that I am not feeling sadness for coming to the palace. I am feeling like I am not the same person anymore. This palace for the first time does not look like a big cage to me. It does not look the same. I feel like everything has changed.
