Crown princess

Aries stood on the balcony of her chambers, eyes in the direction where the forbidden palace was located. The Rose palace and the Forbidden palace were coast-to-coast, very far away from her. 

The thought of Abel's son never left her mind. Not that she minded if he had a son or a dozen. But Aries was concerned about the child's welfare. This news wouldn't bother her so much if this prince's dwelling was just as good as the Rose palace. Even half as good as the said place. 

But it wasn't. 

It was desolated, abandoned, and eerie. Sadly, this was something she shouldn't touch. The child was not her son. It was unfortunate that his father was a crazy tyrant. 

A shallow breath slipped past her lips. "In this night... I wonder if he is alright?" she wondered, sighing for the umpteenth time.
