The Women In The Castle...
Queen Ariadne's POV.
We got to the castle quite late. The guards and the maids received us. As soon as I came down from the carriage, my eyes were graced with a beautiful building. It's was made of crystal walls. I could see my reflection.
There were drawings on the wall too. The maids told me that the Emperor drew some of them. I was not surprised. Back at home, he drew beautiful pictures of me.
We entered the castle. It's was not as big as the palace. There were so many women around. They were laughing, dancing and singing when we entered the large hall.
When they saw us, they stopped what they were doing. A straight line was formed and all their heads were bowed.
"Greetings Grandmother" an old woman who should be in her early fifties greeted. She looked like their instructor.
"Greetings. I can see that you are taking good care of the girls in my absence. They look cheerful and happy" She gave her compliments.
