The sincerity of the Imperial Princess

The sound of heels echoed in the huge, beautifully decorated hallway of this beautiful castle.

A woman of average height in light clothing walked elegantly down it. Still, she looked slightly reflective, and though each step she took was steady, anyone who knew her well could tell that they were steps with hesitation. Also, one of her arms was missing; she seemed to have lost them in a battle.

Caroline Felliam was a woman of great status at present. Of the members of the Imperial Castle of the Human Empire, she was one of the highest-status currently. Not only because she was young and held a good position thanks to her power but also because she was one of the most trusted women of the Imperial Princess.

The Imperial Princess treated her as a close sister and trusted her completely, but this time she felt that she had betrayed her trust and it gnawed at her mind and made her doubt with every step she took, even though it didn't seem so.
