Rhydian;
"You look happier." I hear one of the palace maids speak in the distance as I round a bend, and I'm about to take the next step when an elderly woman's voice stops me.
"We're finally getting the prince we prayed for. Why won't I be happy?"
My brows crease, and I cautiously move towards one of the pillars. Peeking behind it, I see two women who are working on a tray of something.
One looks relatively young, and the other looks much older.
"You know… my daughter gave birth to an omega last month. I was planning on sending them away from here. Even though I don't have the money, I was going to sell almost everything I have to make sure they get a better life." The elderly woman adds, and I listen in silence. Sticking to the shadows so I won't be spotted.
"Where were you going to send them?" The young girl questions, and the elderly woman sighs.
