"So, you've also decided to leave the Palace…" Adeline pressed her lips together while glancing at Alan.
She looked a bit sad when she further said, "Only a handful of our brothers and sisters are left in the Palace now. At this rate, I will be the only one living inside this Palace."
Alan was sitting on the chair in front of Adeline. He smiled at his half-sister and then said, "Everyone has to leave their nest someday. Sooner or later I had to do the same."
"But this is your home. This is where we grew up…" Adeline sighed and looked down.
Then she glanced back at Alan with a smile on her face. "But I get you. Even I feel like leaving the Palace sometimes. Running away from all this hectic life and living like a free bird."
She softly chuckled and then added, "The only difference between you and me is that you are actually getting to do so while I can only dream about it… at least for now."
