Chapter 139: My Most Important Woman

*Ciana*

I wandered through the palace trying to see if anything felt familiar. According to Brook and Warren, I’d been there almost a year. I couldn’t remember anything about it. None of the rooms or decorations looked familiar.

I felt like I was seeing it all for the first time.

Yet, my feet knew where to take me. I didn’t recognize anything I was seeing, but I wandered purposefully to the library. I suspected I could find a map there to reacquaint myself with the palace and the surrounding territory.

“Good morning, My Lady,” someone said, nodding their head as I walked by.

“It is good to see you up and about, Miss Black,” a servant said, bowing.

I waved awkwardly at everyone I passed. They all seemed to hold a high amount of respect and reverence for me. That wouldn’t have happened if they didn’t know me already.

Still, it wasn’t the usual kind of respect I should have been shown. In the palace, I was just an Alpha’s daughter. At the palace, I wasn’t anything special.
