As Ashe walked deeper into the palace, she smiled gracefully and returned the polite greetings of the knights, the guards, and the attendants passing by tilting her head slightly in acknowledgment.
The stone paved floor she had walked on until now changed into a corridor, it was so polished that it reflected the light like a mirror.
Not even a speck of dust could be seen anywhere.
The white pillars gleamed perfectly clean and the large elegant flower vases along the walls held fresh colorful blooms of the season.
She had now entered the Inner Palace, the part of the royal residence where the royal family lived.
Like the main castle, where all the affairs of state were handled, the Inner Palace too remained unchanged from the past.
It looked exactly the same as it had when Ashe once lived there.
She had visited many times already, yet each time she stepped through these halls, she was overcome by a deep nostalgic feeling.
