Capítulo 40: Unhappy Endings

1 October, 1358. Westerhaven Palace, Islia

Camilla stood restlessly in the middle of her apartments in the palace as an army of servants unpacked her belongings. She had no idea where anything was or where to find it. She'd even had to ask a harried looking servant to point her in the direction of the guarderobe to relieve herself. Just when she had been starting to feel familiar with the warren-like layout of Magdaline Castle, she'd been uprooted and relocated to a new palace.

Westerhaven was the official royal residence of Islia during the colder months. It was a dramatic structure of tall, pointed spires and surrounded by marshes and mangrove forests. Camilla couldn't understand why anyone would want to build a palace here but she had been told Queen Celia in particular loved it. It was also within a day's ride of the ocean.
