[SAKURA]
For days, the palace remained quiet and uneventful.
It was like they finally knew what peace was.
The queen was all smiles, and her consort was right beside her even at the council meetings. It had been days since Kiyomi had paralyzed Sana without explaining her actions, and yet even then, Sakura hadn't asked for any.
It was like the queen knew a storm was coming in her direction, that there was a hell she probably wouldn't be able to walk out of with ease, but she welcomed the false positivity she was feeling right now.
Honestly, it was better than what she had imagined would happen to her once she got Kiyomi back to the palace. She had dreamt of the worst possible horrors and readied herself for the fact that the woman she loved was going to destroy her.
She knew it so well, like the back of her mind.
