2021-03-16 23:39:15Asthenosthene was walking in the palace's hallway when she heard whispering from the maids in the corner. She didn't want to eavesdrop but she could hear a few statements from them so audibly.
"Did you hear? His Majesty is departing a few days from now!"
"Again? To where?"
"I do not know either, but they are preparing the horses in the stable to depart for tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Yes! I have seen it myself. It is unusual because the flagship horse is not being prepared to deploy. However, they seem to be planning a wide-scale march."
"That's unusual, why wouldn't they bring the flagship horse?"
Asty walked passed them with her head lowered when the maid tried to get her attention.
"Hey, you there."
Asty halted and slowly turned herself to bow at the maid. The maids chuckled, feeling superior over her.

She observed the male's calm composure as he flipped the pages of a novel in his hand."Do you not feel tired, milord? Reading the same book, over and over again?"Chaol takes the cup and sips on it. "Nothing tires me anymore.""I-I see. I'll be leaving you here then."The maid exits the library, leaving her master in peace. She strode through the halls while watching the sky turn into dusk. She couldn't hear anything– not even the sound of birds, but her footstep echoing on the empty hallway.Everything was just so monochromatic.No music.No hymn of hummingbirds.No loud cheering.No greets.

It Asty takes another chance again.She hopped onto the basement, as soon as the palace wardens slacked. With an oil lamp in her hand she traversed through the empty halls that led to the inner part of the basement. She kept walking and walking and realizes that she was such in a vast, empty room— the door was on the other left end of the wall so as to confuse everyone.After all, the King didn't want the prisoner to easily find the exit by placing it directly adjacent to the door. It could easily be walked straight, so to make things a little bit different, the King had requested its architecture to be that confusing.However, with Asty's lamp, she was able to spot that shimmering light on the basement handle. She opened it and walked right in."Guys!""A-Asty?" Lana once again, woke up, but spoke to her in a surprised but weak voice.She walked towards the m

While his head was lowered to the carpet, the King looked down at him with a casual expression on his face."You are the vampire from the clan of Nazel, are you not?"The vampire was then yanked to respond by a sentry. "Y-Yes, Your Majesty.""You are from the Nazels in the North and yet you are here back in South-eastern. How in the world did you get here from such a far place?"I... I was separated from my family, Your Majesty.""The Nazels have told me that they were looking for a child of theirs in years. Your father is the Count, isn't he?""Yes, indeed.

Everything that she dreamed of was finally before her eyes. The moment had finally come. She opened her eyes and the doors finally parted ways. Her eyes fell to the long golden aisle that she so dreamt of walking one day. Beside it, on the benches, for all the people she loved and cared for.

The maids seem to be avoiding her and she did not seem to see a single sentry guarding the gates.Everyone seems to be very busy and every time she would greet them they would only turn away."That's odd." she told herself. "They don't really act like this to me before."She walked around and around and even brought herself into the garden. But there was not a single person around.What was going on, she thought.She couldn't even find her friends anywhere in the Palace. She had woken up with absolutely nothing but the chirping of birds.

There is no greater pain in the world than to lose someone you love.It is a pain that will be permanent inside your heart and will linger around for so many years. And she was not sure if she was prepared for that. Everything was so sudden, so fast, so abrupt. Did not know what to do or what to expect.

What else can she expect? He is gone and he will never come back to her. The eclipse was an unfair event. The people viewed it as equal, but to her, it was only another cruel event.
