Thana observed the timid rosy sky switch into an early blue. Watching the sky change in as the time went by is the only thing Thana could do while sitting quietly in the moving carriage.
The long, unsteady ride was making her bum hurt. She did try to get some sleep to kill time and hoped that by the moment she wakes up, they would have already arrived back in the palace. But she could not sleep knowing that the prince was sitting right in front of her.
So, she stayed away, tracing the clouds in the sky on the glass window.
When they passed by the village she could still remember with the tall tower, she knew that they were somewhat near their destination already. Instantly, Thana felt butterflies in her stomach. She was suddenly feeling uneasy.
Being in the capitol with the prince is like an opening to future troubles in the palace. What if they'd be questioned for being together? Then Maximilian should know how to address that problem.
