That night, before the event of the knights' promotion, Orig spent the night outside Taya's room. Taya never slept; she was waiting for him to arrive, holding on to the hope that he might return to her arms. Maybe he would share her bed, even if he didn't apologize. She would have overlooked it.
The palace was decorated with various ribbons and tulips of different colors. Everyone wore their finest clothes. The promotion ceremony happens once every two years and is undoubtedly the best, as those promoted boast about their skills in marksmanship.
Taya was staring at the clothes in her dressing room, unsure of what to wear. In her previous life, she had worn a light-colored dress, hoping that Orig might admire her, but unfortunately, seeing her in that dress only made him angrier.
