The next morning, I sat on the floor close to my bed and wondered when the Emperor was going to send for me. I was scared. My heart thumped each time I heard footsteps close to my room.
My limbs were tired. Every joint in my body ached. It was time to go and meet up with Arya and my parents. I always wanted to unite with them.
But this time was different. I didn't want to go…I did not want to leave the Emperor. I have to love him with my whole heart. I prayed he finds a place in his heart to forgive me.
The day went slowly. I waited patiently but nobody came. The maid who came this evening brought food for me. I asked her to call Marlena. She was the only one who would answer all my questions.
The sun went down and the moon blessed us with its beautiful face. I looked up and smiled at it. Sooner or later, I might not be able to watch it from my window. This was the last time.
