The leaves fell around the garden overlooking the castle, they were all diverse in colour ranging from blood red to sunny orange. Zubie lets out a frustrated sigh, the dried and dead leaves making a crunching beneath her feet as she walks around the garden. She gazed at the stone walls surrounding the castle. She has been so close to her freedom... Yet it all went downhill.
And to top it off, Nicholas has not talked to her since the fiasco at the port. That worried Zubie, were they going to treat her worse than they had been under Nicholas's care?
Zubie climbed the stone stairs, deciding to go back inside the castle. In the distance, she saw a carriage stopping in front of the gates. She was curious about who arrived at the royal carriage at that time of the day. Because of her time at the castle, she knew the castle did not get many visitors in the first place.
