His highness is Injured
A tedious week had gone past since the prince's departure.
The various constructions going on in the castle brought a certain liveliness it. The work load was enormous and it was estimated to be finished by craftsmen within a month.
From time to time, princess Rain patrolled around to check on the work progress.
It was like that everyday.
After breakfast alone at the huge dining halls, she went over to inspect the working sites, and later on busied her hands with knitting until it was evening. Finally, she stared at the skies until late before she returned to bed.
The next days were as monotonous.
On the present day, she sat out the verandah of her chambers, lost in deep thoughts and staring out the gateway expectantly. Just like she'd done the previous days.
The sun had long set into the clouds and the sky had turned gray, but she'd been sitting there for hours.
