When the morning arrived the bed was cold and empty. I roamed my hand on the blank area with longing. I had been habitual of him being around all the time.
I shook my head as I realized his roots had taken a deeper place in my heart than I had expected.
"This is going to be difficult this time" I mumbled as I left the bed.
After getting ready in a plain dress and simple make up to show that I was upset, I walked out of the room.
The whole palace was silent as if someone had died. The whole hustling and bustling that was there from the past few days had gone. The chattering and laughter of Killian and mother was not there. The training and noise made by the knights, Jamie was training was gone too.
"Where is everyone?" I asked Lina, who was also silent like other maids.
