Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: Ivalyn

During the following week Iris took a tour of the castle and became accustomed to the people there. Alutus castle was big, maybe bigger than her father's, for new parts were added the past two years. The older building, considered the main one, was also renovated, but its charm was preserved and it was where their bedrooms and studies were. Here could the kitchen and the main hall be found, as well as the little ballroom. On the outside, its red walls were imbued with painted glass and the two narrow towers were situated on each side of the construction. From each tower, new strong walls were recently built of grey stone and clear glas to connect to two new buildings, each displaying four strong towers, double the height of the others, in a combination of grace and strength. There were dozens of chambers there, as well as a new, bigger and more beautiful ballroom.
