Maria had taken Arthur to the palace library, the place she was known to get lost in for hours at a time.
A smile warmed her face as she had not visited in weeks due to being nervous about the suitors coming.
She had had difficulty relaxing, and had not been able to focus on a book until the other day in the gardens with Alexandria.
The library that her family had was absolutely gorgeous and one-of-a-kind; since it was on the top floor, the entire ceiling was made of glass which meant that the room was full of beautiful, natural light during the day, and at night, you could look up at the moon and stars.
The walls were lined top to bottom with books, new and old, and the ancient books were stored in locked boxes to preserve them from being damaged by dust and light.
Rolling ladders were placed on each wall so that whoever was looking for a book could climb and find whatever they wanted.
