On that same night, Sylvia walked in that familiar path after a long time. For many years, she used to walk this way every day after work but today feels different while strolling this way, which is brightly lit and looks pristine. For the crown prince's marriage, all the streets in Larza were refurbished and the slums were cleaned.
She still remembers Theodore's marriage, she was inside the palace, working all day and there was a moment when she came across Maximus. He looked at her intently, no man ever looked at her like that, and thought how much she was afraid of him at that time. She's still afraid of his uncompromising love.
She turned to the bustling alley where her Aunt's house is located. She's going there to get her few things which were dumped in the attic. From now on she's going to stay at Jian's place. That's the only way she can escape from all these people who are trying to help her.
