On her way to the kitchen to see what they were cooking for dinner, one of the guards ordered Sylvia to turn on the lamps in the hall.
With that 'I-am-lost' face, Sylvia walked to the entrance, it's so cold and she lit the lamps shivering. That time Maximus got down from his horse and came inside. Once Sylvia saw him, she tried not to look at his side.
He walked past her, keeping his head straight. She left a sigh once he was gone. Her heart is racing, telling her that there is something wrong with the way she feels, yet she has no idea what it is.
She's afraid and nervous, but they were different; she felt that lot of times. A little part of her was eager to see him and urged her to look at him. Which is so wrong yet she's drawn to do that.
Sylvia isn't keen to understand her emotions, she concludes that she's scared and wants to stay out of his eyes.
If Maximus hadn't done such a thing on that day in the palace, Sylvia would have enjoyed her stay here to the fullest.
