"Mother, mother! It looks so beautiful here!" Annabeth sang, her steps like little skips on the marble floor.
Mrs. Crowly smiled and patted her daughter's head. "It is, isn't it?"
Annabeth nodded playfully. 'This is stupid.'
They continued down the hall of the palace, their facade as a beautiful peaceful family was in full charge. The only emotion that wasn't fake on their faces was actually being mystified by the largeness of the palace. They had only stepped into the hall of the palace but were already overwhelmed by its size.
If the garden outside wasn't enough, the palace's entrance hall was long and tall with a glass-domed building. Even though it was buzzing with people this time around, it's ize was empathized more with that since almost a hundred people stood in the hall but it was nowhere near filled. The more surprising fact was that it wasn't the ballroom hall, that was 2 times bigger than the entrance hall.
