The hallway was cold, empty and dark if not for the flickering lights on chandeliers above her. She could feel the rich carpet underneath her bare feet. It padded and muffled her footsteps as she headed towards her destination. The King and Queen's personal chambers had always been separated for safety reasons. Each one of them designated their own private wing. It was a precaution that vexed her as she travelled through with pounding heartbeats.
She started before the clock struck twelve in the midnight. And it truly had taken her hours, waiting all night for this one golden opportunity.
One glorious moment.
