--The Royal Palace, The Empire of Deiferus--
.
'Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!'
The sounds of several footsteps, could be heard hurriedly making their way towards the throne room.
The sounds echoed sharply across the guarded hallways.... sounding overly loud, like the thundering heartbeat of a condemned criminal.
One thing was clear, these footsteps.... could only belong to light weighted people.
'Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!'
Within the palace, the people busily went about their day merrily....as they did their daily chores earnestly.
But when they saw the owners of these footsteps, straight away.... they quickly made several detours, as if they were avoiding some sort of fatal plague.
'Thum! Thum!'
'Chi!'
Some dived into the garden bushes, while others speedily leaned on the walls... and immediately pretended to be statues, while holding their breaths in fear.
