The hallways, awfully familiar, were empty. Even though I was not familiar with the north I knew that the hallways were never empty. One or two servants were always seen.
But there was one thing that shocked me the most , which is why I stopped at the sight of two people carving something out of the wall.
It was the symbol of the royal family of Astria and it was being called out by two men.
What was happening?
"Move forward and see," I heard Tristan from behind me, "move forward and see for yourself."
I did as told.
I ran forward. I closed my skirts in my hands raised them a bit higher and ran out of the hallway to where I could see from the balcony the entire palace . . Of Astria.
"we. . ." I matar as my eyes talk in every familiar detail of the palace but this time without the crest of the family. "How?"
I could feel him stand behind me. My skin warmed knowing that he was close enough to touch me but he did not.
