The Dream Of Three(2) -continued

-Continued-

The princess went through a series of doors and gigantic corridors with ease. She had lived in this cold marble castle for all her life, never leaving it until today. Her tears drowned her big coal-like eyes as she ran closer to another smaller palace just in the gates of the palace. The princess’s feet finally landed on the marble floor just a stone’s throw away from the palace.

All the smaller palaces that surrounded the main palace were connected by corridors, in a way that it was more like a huge maze rather than a home for many. Its design was to prevent intruders from reaching the main palace in which the royal lived. Any newcomers that forgot the way round the palace would be bound to lose his or her way. They could be found by soldiers who petrol the palace once a day.

Its design only made the palace as cold as its marble walls. The people hardly met each other on normal days and many longed to be in a friendlier environment like the noisy cities. The princess hoped that it would happen too, but she herself knew very clearly that her father, the emperor, would never allow such a thing to happen. (-to be continued)
