[Author's POV]
The sound of footsteps approached the palace corridor when a girl inside her moss dress and flat shoes of similar colour stepped up her pace to go back to the room after embarrassing herself in front of a man that she loathed so much. Portia walked while covering her mouth using the back side of her palm. She felt so ashamed until the point where she wanted to dig a hole somewhere hidden and hide in there forever.
"It's unfair to put a calm face like that when I flushed like a fool." Portia stomped to the floor and puffed her cheeks. She did not understand the reason for that man's sudden change in behaviour; she remembered Kazech as a stiff asshole that was so strict with the law.
Portia turned to the cross-section and entered the southeast palace building—the guests' palace, which adjoins the prince's palace that stood across the open wide grass area.
She then remembered about Nathaniel and his childish acts.
