Wasn't An Illusion

My heart was pounding, and whether it was happiness or nervousness or a combination of both, I was not entirely sure.  I stepped out of the side entrance and not waiting for anything, straight away ran on the same path I had taken the previous night which I was familiar with now. Last night, I felt tired quickly, but tonight was different. Despite touring the city with my brother since morning, I seemed to have more energy than before.  Even I was surprised that I was not yet tired. One had to remember that the grounds of the Royal Palace of Abetha were extremely huge, housing several structures and buildings that served as the residences for the royals and offices for the officials; and the capital where it was located was the largest city in the entire kingdom.
