Just let me be

After breakfast, Scarlet and Esong escorted the guests around, but only to the easily accessible areas which were open to everyone. It was like taking a trip at a zoo, you could see the animals behind glass walls or fences but you could not go inside and interact with them. The guests could see the outside of the buildings but they could not go inside. 

Princess Carana had many questions but Scarlet veiled her explanations explanations to ensure that she did not give much away.

During the tour, the empress insisted on sitting with Carolyn and Markey, she had many questions to ask Carolyn after all.

All through the tour, instead of looking at the buildings, the empress looked at Carolyn who became so uncomfortable that she covered her face with her hands.

"Don't be shy little one, I have to look at you carefully before deciding if you are the right fit for my Markey. Your face is only the beginning, what will you do when it's for me to observe your body?"
