Capítulo 230: LOVE'S GENTLE TOUCH

{Music Recommendation: Young and Beautiful ~ Lana Del Rey}

The next morning, the palace was covered in an eerie silence. The soft morning dew shrouded the gardens and courtyards, but the carnage from the previous night still enveloped the entire castle. Servants and guards worked diligently to clean up the place, trying to return the palace to its original state.

While the guards moved the dead bodies, the servants mopped the bloodied walls and marble floors clean. Though the cleaning was hectic, the servants tried to be as quiet as possible.

Inside the room belonging to the King and Queen, Oriana snuggled closely against Adric's body, her small hands resting on his waist as she slept peacefully. Adric, who was now awake, gently rubbed Oriana's hair while he watched her sleep.
