Chapter 27 - Locked

A few days ago, as I was walking around the huge hallways in the palace trying to find myself something else to do other than to haul myself into my room after every meal, I came across Anton on a random terrace in the middle of a huge hallway.

He was standing there looking straight up to the sky while his hands were crossed in his back. He stood straight and tall in the middle of the flowery terrace and a windy setting. I stopped walking and looked at him as he did so. 

I was wondering what he was thinking standing straight up there and looking at the sky. 

I thought I shouldn't interrupt his serious time with himself and decided to walk past the terrace. 

"My Lady," to my surprise, he noticed me without even looking at me. And when I looked back, I saw his glasses glistening in the sunlight as he looked back at me as if he already knew I was there. "Come, let's have a little chat." he invites me.
