A door unlocked.
There was no way out of the room. I checked repeatedly. I knocked on every door possible and even the floor. And now I just stared out of the window at the lands, masses of it, filled with snow.
Even if I wanted to make a small gamble I could pass the snow to the nearest town then I also knew the fact of how long I was thinking about it. I watched the snow day at night until the maid came to provide me with my field throughout the day. No one appeared to be coming to the palace and usually the palace was the most bustling thing around.
There was supposed to be a whole capital around the palace which would mean the people were staying there and so were the ministers of the court but there was nothing of so here. And if I were to believe that my side of the palace had no housing rounded than it was not possible as well. The palace was always surrounded by the capital if not by the sea.
