124 Sneaking Inside The King's Study

After enjoying tea with the elves, Ember spent the rest of her day inside her study, memorizing the runic characters with familiar ease, once in a while snacking on desserts or coming out on the balcony to get fresh air. 

Though she liked studying, she could not help but feel restless since she's been told to stay put not of her own volition. She felt caged, like her world was limited to this southwest wing of the palace, and could not wait for these few days to pass till her bleeding stopped and she was allowed to go out wherever she wanted.

She looked at the last page of the runic language book in front of her. She had finished the entire book in a span of two days. Her servants were amazed by her speed, and even she herself felt surprised at how fast she learned its contents.
