The cold night washed over her as Asteria wandered off into the night hallways. It was empty, dark, and quiet, yet nothing seems to comfort her more than being alone now.
She continued on, hoping to reach the king's room and get to talk to him but before she could even reach it, a long green hair was fluttering against the window and black eyes stared at her.
Asteria stopped, her tracks seemed to freeze yet she stayed gazing at the stranger.
No, it wasn't any stranger.
It was Alexis.
The other kingdom's strongest mage, and the one responsible for her misery.
She gulped, no this is such a wrong decision! She instantly turned around when the cold wind brushed against her, making her tremble, and Alexis himself made his way to her.
"How are you these days, Asteria." His same creepy stare and condensing tone are still the same.
She gnawed on her teeth, yet maintained a confident posture, "You're back."
