Once they reached the guest room, Millie quietly stepped ahead and gently pushed the door open.
Inside, Axelius could see two unfamiliar figures. One was seated gracefully on the velvet couch near the tea table, her back to the doorway, long flowing white hair resting gently on her shoulders as she held a porcelain teacup in her hand, sipping delicately.
Standing just behind her was another girl, possibly a servant or a guard, with her arms at her sides wearing black cload with a hood.
Axelius didn't speak immediately.
He simply stepped inside, his boots making a faint sound on the polished floor and circled around the couch slowly to face whoever this mystery guest was.
And when he finally stood in front of them and saw her face clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly as he took in the sight of the elegant, unfamiliar girl looks the same age as him.
