Chapter 15: Trouble in the Garden

Tilla led Anastasia to the garden that was outside of the ballroom. A few torches were being lit up in the garden as well. But the beautiful silvery light cascading from the moon was overshadowing the brightness from the sparse torches.

Anastasia was amazed to see that this haunted castle had a beautiful garden that was actually well-maintained. It even had flowers that she had never seen before.

She excitedly touched an orange flower with some hues of blue and green. It looked as though it was a bird that was spreading its wings and was ready to fly. And she whispered, “I wonder what this flower is called. It looks really interesting.”

Tilla smiled and answered, “I learned from Lord Vincent that it’s called the bird of paradise.”

The two of them walked deeper into the garden while appreciating the beautiful and eye-catchy flowers. The burning sensation that Anastasia was feeling calmed down to some extent.
