Hilda

Two days later,

It has been two days now since Avalor left, and I haven't seen Nancy around the palace. It is quite strange, though. I never thought I could have the kind of peace I had these past two days, even in Avalor's absence. He is supposed to come back today. Despite the peace, my heart feels empty, like someone who lost a dear one. I hate to admit that I miss him so much.

"Hello, Hilda!" I darted in the direction the voice came from.

"Oh, Nancy, I was just thinking about you a few minutes ago. It looks like you traveled." I said to her, wondering why she was dressed in her nightgown, exposing her inner body, and walking down from Alex Chambers.

"I have been around; I have been on a sick bed; remember the pack healer recommended that for my health? She lied.

I am very sure she has not been around. Nancy has such a loud voice that if she were around, I would have noticed.

"You are right; I don't think that woman has been in this palace. I'm sure she is lying. Avira said.
