It's been a week since The Qye left Suttern and a week since Elleryn's punishment was conducted, she is held down inside her room, guards standing firm in front of her door to keep her inside.
Only Yoani allowed getting inside with food for Elleryn but she can only be there for ten minute, the guard will drag her out of the room if she stays longer than that. Elleryn never felt that she was being punished, even though it is quite hard for her to be kept inside a room all the time, she never felt alone.
Spirits keep her company and the chirping of birds near her window keep her calm and soothe her mind, besides, she knew the reason why Rydan never tried to visit her, the council had dictated every move he should make, making it impossible to leave his duty as Crown Prince.
Or so the spirit said.
