บท 60: It Was Touching

Gazing at the distance, she was entranced by the scene of the prince of the north-east helping the second princess up the horse, covering her shoulder with his own robe. As they set off, leaving only a trail of dust behind, she finally looked at her side.

"Indeed, it was touching." She commented with a small smile.

"Ours would be far more touching." 

Pretending to not see her raised brows, he walked away.

The emperor caught sight of their small interaction at the corner. With narrowed eyes, he looked away. 

'I am relying on you kid. Don't disappoint me.'

Crossing the snow palace, Changing walked inside the old weaponry. After the new weaponry was built, this was abandoned as a storeroom. At least that's what everyone thought. 

The creaking wooden floor devoid of any cleaning spells didn't really attract any visitors except some rodents finding shelter there.
