Asty stared at the city's rooftops. It was of a shade of gold and rose as the sunset starts to envelop the skies. Staring with her blank eyes, it was as if her emotions were gone. She had already been tired of crying for the past couple of days.
She feels a tap behind her. She swiveled her head to the side and looked back to see the King behind her with a tray of food in his hands.

"What are you blabbering about?""Nothing." he ignored him and stared at his wrists. He didn't even bat an eye or react to it. He was used to being locked and wasn't afraid of chains anymore."You'll be going inside to confide with His Majesty." Yuran spoke from behind him and cleared his throat. "You must keep your head low and never meet his gaze nor respond unless you are opted to do so. Never ever attempt to assassinate the King.

"Nothing tires me anymore.""I-I see. I'll be leaving you here then."The maid exits the library, leaving her master in peace. She strode through the halls while watching the sky turn into dusk.
