The next morning Ashen Chamber could be seen brightly from the sky above looking cold and calm as usual, until the Stella figure is seen running towards her lady's room and some other ladies following from behind.
"My lady…"
Stella's voice came in a rush, her steps uneven as she hurried into the room, only to freeze halfway. Lumina sat on the edge of her bed, motionless, lost in deep thought.
"My lady…" Stella called again, softer this time, uncertain whether to break the silence.
Lumina turned her face slightly toward her voice.
"Why are you in such a hurry? And…" she paused mid-sentence as a loud commotion rose outside the door.
She lifted her head confused, "We are not that many in these chambers. What is all that noise for?" she finally asked.
Stella placed a hand over her chest, breathing in and out, trying to calm herself.
