Adrasteia sprinted along the halls toward her room, making sure not to trip and fall. Given that her gown was too long reaching the floor and was a nuisance, it wouldn't be surprising if she were to fall flat on the floor. She had to lift it above her ankle in order to sprint toward her room, but when she saw the guards waiting at the entrance to the wing that belonged to her, she slowed down and immediately walked gracefully like the princess she was.
She strolled in complete contrast to how she had earlier run, attempting to cover up her bare feet. Thank goodness they were the guards and not someone who would dare look her over. They lowered their heads as she passed by. She let out an internal squeal of delight and a quiet sigh of relaxation. But not a second had passed when she heard her name being shouted from behind.
"Adra!"
