[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION:STEAL THE SHOW ~ LAUV]
The morning arrived quicker than Axilla had expected; she wanted to stall time, but the sun crept into the room through the curtain holes, announcing to Axilla that it was really out. The young girl rubbed her eyes, removing sleep and thinking of a new excuse to give the crown prince should incase he comes in. Axilla looked at Lady Larel; the woman was still fast asleep, and she pressed her lips tightly.
"Lady Larel, please wake up; it's not time to sleep," Axilla pleaded, also begging the heavenly king to slow down time. She prayed for the morning to never arrive, but here it was, smiling at her like it was mocking her situation. To make matters worse, someone knocked at the door, causing Axilla's heart to skip more than a beat.
