Eva's POV
As they led me further into the royal palace, again I found myself gawking. It was grand and beautiful as expected. The ceilings were high with stone pillars running between. Gold everywhere you looked: even on the floors. All made out of some sort of hard rock which shone in all different colours of the rainbow and shimmered in the sunlight that streamed through the window and glass skylights.
The servants were lined in two rows and as I passed in between them, they all bowed. "Welcome, princess," They said simultaneously. It looked like they choreographed the whole thing but I could help but feel special.
They led me to the foot of a case of stairs that seem to go on forever an eternity. The Queen clasped my hand and the king stayed by my side without saying anything. "Let us go. Your room is up there." She told me.
I nodded at her and looked back. The entrance was no longer visible from where I stood. I had reached a point of no return.
