"Princess, may I come in?"
Aylin was staring out at the starry night of midnight through the huge window of her solitary room. The thin drapes of the window were swinging in the winds. It was quite cold at midnight, making her shiver badly.
Moonlight brought a comforting beauty to the graphite night. Wands of rising branches became dancing silhouettes in the moonlight. There was barely anyone outside the cottage, except for two guards who were also drowsing, sitting next to a fire in a corner. The silence of the night was a fine tailor when her thoughts were silken thread.
Standing next to the door, Aylin was counting the stars while thinking about all the incidents that happened in the last two days. Instinctively, her face darkened as Kai's mischievous smile flashed in her mind.
