When her husband, Samuel, left the room, Lucy stared at the closed door. Now, as she was alone, her bright eyes turned dull because of the loneliness that crept in her heart. With no one in the room, the faint smile that was on her face vanished.
She wondered how many years it had been passed since Samuel and she had sat down properly and spoken to each other. Things had been different and not complicated a few years ago. She questioned if it was because she was young and so in love, that she hadn't realised the reality that was coming her way. Lucy removed her shoes that she was wearing to change it to something more comfortable.
Not wanting to stay alone in the room, she decided to walk through the corridors of the castle, which once used to be her home. Lucy was born here. She had spent years before she moved out after her marriage to Duke Samuel, whose father was a minister back then, helping her father.
