"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."

The sound of horse hooves stopped as Ysabel, and her company arrived at Bezmun. The road they had taken led to the back gate. It was so they don't call for unnecessary attention.
Ysabel took her time to get off the horse. Guards were waiting for them. They bowed upon meeting Ysabel's and Gwendolyn's gazes.
While Gwendolyn proceeded to enter as the gates swung open, Ysabel hung back for a few minutes. She recalled the last time she was there, and the bad memories left her to take a deep breath.
Nolan took notice, wondering what Ysabel had in mind. On the other hand, Reis couldn't even think of anything to say to the young monarch.
The last time they were there, it could have been a better experience. Thus, the former palace maid kept quiet and meekly watched Ysabel.
