Forbidden

Now, Aakifahlynn had a plan for today. She wore her usual boots, trousers, and long dress with a three-inch belt at the waist. Her hair was up in a messy bun, with little loose tendrils falling over her forehead and to the side of her face.

Her makeup was barely there, as she preferred it. However, right now, she moved through the Palace like a fly on the wall—well... literally. It was her favorite trick to spy, just like when she spied on Jairus and Taisiya on her first day back.

It had been a few hours, and nothing stood out to her in this forbidden area, a place she had never been allowed to enter before. It was like this new Emperor, who had taken over, did not exist.

It seemed as if he was a ghost and this left a determined Aakifahlynn perplexed.

Worried even, however, Aakifahlynn was not prepared for what she was about to find, more so who and the truth that would be revealed.
