Capítulo 107: Following The Bird

When Ember stepped out of her chamber, her attention was on her dress rather than her surroundings. She had to carefully hold her long flowy skirt in her hands so she wouldn't trip over her dress. 

'Bear it for a day,' she consoled herself. 'From tomorrow onwards, I'll refuse to wear such a long dress.'

The carpeted hallway had huge glass windows on one side which had their panels open, allowing plenty of sunlight and fresh air to enter inside the palace. With each step of hers echoing, those long curtains seemingly moved along it. 

Chirp, chirp?
