Seeing Adryan (1)

~

 Striding through the exquisite hallway with Anna and Azazel following behind, the two ladies happily indulge themselves in a friendly conversation while the less interested Azazel was more focused on how to escape from the two women, so he can search the palace and figure out where the Valerian sword is kept.

The servants that walked by with their heads bowed politely greeted them, and their gazes were most of the time fixed on Anna or Azazel who barely noticed their dumbfounded reaction. 

"Forgive me but why is everywhere so….dull?" Anna asked after she was silently done inspecting the palace. They already had their tea and while they did that, Anna noticed how somber the palace appeared, like there was no one around despite knowing how busy the palace of Euphrasia easily gets. She asked about the physician as well, but was told he went to observe a prayer.
