Concealing events, hiding timelines and omitting. A few facts was more energy consuming than I had anticipated.
My energy was spent half by concealing what I deemed unnecessary for her to know, and by crying in the middle of it all. Most of the truth, I have not hidden from her. Telling her what exactly now plagued the palace and the land of Astria. Why were people so scared to come out and she never saw any crowd outside from the window in her room? I also told her about the night but I had emitted it. I did not tell her what had already happened, rather how I was saved from it happening. How Tristan had been my saviour, but not my avenger.
Even if I had hidden most of it to myself, my sister was still frightened by all of it. Where estelle, and I had been outside, dealing with politics, and how bad the world could be to itself, Catherine stayed inside, preparing for the fairy tale that she was going to live her life.
