The evening of the previous day...
At the royal palace at Pulse, Evenstar Kingdom.
The castle zoomed into view as a raven flew past it. It's eyes tracked every single human movement, each window and door, looking for an entry point. Finding one, it swiftly flew into an open window which was a little dirty from all the dust that came with the storm an hour back.
Inside the castle resided people of different status; some serving the royal family, some guarding the palace--the face of the kingdom, the others earned their living through simple chores like gardening, laundry, washing clothes, cooking or cleaning the massive palace.
Amid these hocus of daily chores, a man looking around forty was pacing in his room. His movements were hurried and uneven from all the overthinking and the anticipation of something fruitful to him.
