"What have I done?"
She slumped back on the bed after the maids left. She wanted to cry, mourn, scream but nothing came out except silence. Lying back on the bed with her arms open on both sides, she stared at the dome shaped ceiling. A heavy looking decoration piece was hanging down from it and inside Claudia's head that heavy object had fallen upon her and finished her cursed existence that caused many innocent people to die.
Who knew how many people were on duty. Who knew how many of them were killed for the crime that was subjected towards her. If only she knew this was going to happen, she wouldn't have spent a moment before turning herself in.
She always thought her stepmother was cruel when she scolded the maids or threw them out of the Palace but this...this was on a whole other level which she wasn't ready for. The words of Akila ran through the back of her head like a train. She was right, it was indeed death disguised as a building.
