She watched the door after he left. Maybe in a sad hope that he would come back and talk to her again. She had no idea how long she stayed at the door while her thumb caressed the bandaged wrist.
Her cheeks twisted into a sad smile as she thought of the past. It was not easy to remember happy memories and now she was surrounded by just pain.
She took a deep breath in and for a few moments captured and before slowly breathing it out. He slowly moved around the bed and to the covers of her. Then she moved to the huge balcony in the room. She had heard people at rest saviour as the king which only meant that he had the biggest room of all in the palace and this room did not disappoint.
"Where is everyone?" She murmured as she looked down in the streets. The king's room was at the highest floor and she could see most of the capital from his balcony but this time she did not see the streets with people like she had done when she was in the infirmary. The streets were now basically empty and even most of the vendors that always had their shops out had their shutters down.
She sighed again. Now she was truly stuck here and she did not even have the people to watch.
She moved around slowly working out of the balcony. She felt unbelievably lazy. It was a Shikhar fall asleep any moment and it was a struggle to keep your eyes open most of the time but she did not give up. Moving to the huge doors she stood in front of them.
Besan to be used and quite bulky and Adeline glanced at her dainty Hans wondering if you would be able to open there or not.
She held the handle in one and pulled open only to be pulled back along with it as a certain force by someone pushed the door back.
"Oh my God, I am so sorry!"
Adeline heard a girl talk as the door finally stopped and the girls stepped into the room.
Adeline instead of answering her immediately stared at the girl with slightly wide eyes. She might have been the first one to talk to Adaline normally and was not any kind of family or someone that Adeline had known previously.
"Hi," she offered Adaline her hand and she stared at it. "I'm Patricia. It is from my grandmother's name and everyone here calls me patty."
Bringing her hand forward, she placed her hand into Patty's. "Adeline." She answered.
Patricia's smile widened. "I know. You are quite famous here." She winked and Adeline barely managed to conceal her smile. She was a Jolly and bright girl and somehow Adaline did not consider herself with her bright self. If anything she had too much gloominess around her to be talking to someone as bright as the girl.
"Are you well enough to walk? If you want, I can help you take a tour of this floor only. I think you'd be good at that? Because if you want then we can come back without having to climb many stairs." She offered, even though it was enforced almost like she did not want to take the chance of making Adeline do something that she did not want to.
Adelen wanted the offer but she had half a mind to decline as well. She could barely manage to get out of the bed and then walked towards the window. She had to wait there until she felt ready to be able to walk again to the door. How was she ever going to manage to roam the castle floor without tiring herself?
But the offer seemed too tempting and she had only been in the infirmary, then the dining room and then this room. For all the while that she had been awake she had spent it within four walls and now she wanted to be out.
"Um . . I want to take it but I want to warn you that I will walk really slow." She said it in a quiet voice much in contrast to the one that Patty spoke in. Adeline usually did not raise her voice and kept it to a gentle level but her energy levels were too low for her to even talk.
She just wanted out now.
"Oh no, don't worry," Patty shook her head, "if anything, we will walk really slow and don't you worry. Anytime you want I will ask the guard to bring the chair so that you can rest."
And if Patricia did that then Adeline would face so much embarrassment that she might as well bury her head in the ground like an ostrich.
Patricia opened the door for Adelaine who clearly knew that she was much weaker to do so. Both of them walked out and she immediately noticed so many guards around her.
She gulped and slightly leaned into Patricia, her tour guide, "Why are so many gods standing outside? Should they not be around Xavier?"
Patricia Chuckled, "No silly, they are your guards. Luna's guard."
"Luna?" Adeline repeated after her. " Who is that?"
Adeline stopped when Patricia did all of a sudden. She stared at her newfound friend in confusion as to why Patrica had stopped suddenly in the middle of the whole while they were not even ten steps away from the room that they had previously left.
"What's wrong?" She asked inside concern for stop is anything Adaline had expected herself to fall sick instead of the girl.
She turned to the apparent Luna who had no idea who she truly was a What power she had. "You," she said carefully, "You do not know who Luna is?"
Adeline shook her head. She really did not.
"Oh my god," Patricia shook her head. "This is not good." She had had to do something about it as this woman who was clearly unaware as a silly goose.
