Ding ding*
The sound of the bell echoed inside the palace, it was louder than normal and I wondered what was going on until I realized that it was morning already.
The previous night was long. I stayed with the Princess and we discussed how to deal with the situation. We eventually came up with a profitable plan and hoped it would work out.
After our conversation, I left her room only to see a dark hallway, only a few lights were on and I wondered why it was so, but I wasn't at the palace in Aeradon so I shouldn't have expected everything to be the same way.
As dark as it was, I became afraid. I was not sure what it was that made me terrified but I was uncomfortable, I felt like I saw shadows but there was none and I walked as fast as I could trying to navigate through the hallway and find my room.
"What are you doing out so late," his voice sounded so clear and my heart skipped a beat, " what does he want this time?" I asked myself.
