บท 154: Waiting (Ch.154)

The sun had just set beneath the horizon when Neveah stepped out to the balcony of Lord Imagor's quarters, heaving out a deep breath she did not realize she was holding.

Neveah headed over to the rail, glancing down below, she could hardly see anything since they were so high up but the feel of the cold breeze brushing over her skin eased her in ways nothing else would.

Neveah stared down at her hands and she realized they were trembling, her chest felt stuffy and tight, all the pressure and anxiety she had been forced to in these past days had taken their toll.

The sight of her trembling hands bothered Neveah and she clenched them up into a tight fist to still the tremors.

Not even when Neveah was back in the Eclipse Palace did she feel so shaken by anything,

Neveah's life was always at risk, there was nothing new about it. But this time, Neveah had truly let it get to her and she could not even tell why.
