A day before the wedding, the palace has been decorated with flowers, lights, and colorful carpet spread on the important places of the palace. The floor and walls were cleaned, dust-free. Everywhere the smell of lavender surged.
Nina is scared to realize that she's bound in this boring palace life. How could she ever stay in here without a friend or a relative or at least someone she could laugh with. She's clear that Theodore will never stay beside her. He's away from morning till sunset, if this is what he calls his resting days then she wondered how his normal days would be? She cannot catch up to his life.
A person, he's fine. He talks respectably but he sometimes teases her. She couldn't say he's a bad person yet she can't accept he's a good man. He's like a great mystery to her, right now.
When she's passing each moment in uncertain anxiousness, someone came into the chamber to see her. It's a woman.
Nina stared at that beautiful woman, thinking who she could be.
