Anne eyes opened lazily as she sat up on the couch now, she looked at every corner of this big room.
"Its beautiful.The amazing architecture of this castle and the intricate designs of each pillar and ceiling.Its like the time i went to italy with my aunt and we visited all the temples there.The weather there was awesome,everything was so fine except when a horse kicked her on the road and she had to be hospitalised for a month, we got to stay there for a month anyways.
where are the maids by the way? werent they supposed to look after me? This is so fun! Iam getting treated like a royalty.I should stay here until i die. free accomodation, free food, free.........wait! i forgot i came here for a purpose!i need to find the artifacts before......wait!what was their name again? OGA? maybe.I need to listen to professor's tapes again.
Dang, the future kind of depends on me.
He said 1 hour in the real world will be 100 of years so i got lots of time, I'll do the mission later there's lot of time. But What if the OGA finds professor and they come here too but iam to busy chilling that they find those artifacts before me? I think i should start my mission soon."
"Kal kare so aaj kar,aaj kare so Ab.Pal me Parlay hoga,Bahuri karega kab."
The quote played on her mind in repeat.
Standing up and walking towards the big balcony,she fell into a spiral of thoughts.
The sun was setting,colouring the whole sky into orange.
'Mmmm Rasna'

It was evening time now, Ashwatthama after finishing his royal works was walking in the big grand hallways. The lighted diyas were arranged in a line illuminating the dusky surrounding, The sun was almost setting behind the horizon colouring the sky in hues of orange and red,the lighted diyas made the castle look like a cluster of stars if watched from above.
His pace was slow, slowly striding towards Anne's room to check up on her. His mind was distracted ever since he visited her this afternoon.
"Can i stay here forever then?" Her words echoed in his mind.
He had been overthinking for a while now.
"What does she mean by that?" He muttered to himself as that moment played in his mind on loop.
Deep in thought he didnt even realised he had passed the chamber in which she was residing currently. Taking some steps back he approached the big door decorated with flower designs.He didnt bother to tell the guards to inform her about his arrival,he was too deep in his thoughts and just entered the chambers(you could've knocked brother).
Entering the chamber,he found Anne in the balcony,spreading her arms like the Titanic.The wind gently swaying nothing.her hair was tied.
Slowly he approached her,his eyes still set on her. Sensing someone's presence she turned around to find Ashwatthama approaching her.
"?"
"?"
"Forgive me for my mistake,I forgot to tell the guards to inform you about my arrival." He apologised.
"You are forgiven,my child" She said taking out her right hand as in giving him a blessing.
"W h a t"
"What?"
"Anyways,how are you ? and how are your parents?" Anne started the conversation.
"I've been good,doing great as you can see and about my parents,they are alright too" He said now shifting a little towards her direction.
Both of them were standing in the balcony,taking in the sweet breeze.
His brows furrowed as he continued.
