Kael walked towards the window and gently placed his hand over it, looking at the beautiful night sky, trying to calm his volatile emotions.
The Royal Palace.
Usually, to a normal person like this, it was a place full of riches and comfort, a place where one could get everything they want, comfortable rooms, delicious delicacies, excellent training, and more.
It was a dream-like land, especially for an orphan like Kael, who had never seen anything above a one-bedroom room with an attached kitchen and washroom.
He had his own balcony for god's sake, now that was rich!
But now…
This same dream-like place felt like a prison.
The guards roaming around the Palace day and night no longer felt like they were there to keep him safe, Kael felt like they were there to keep an eye on him, to make sure he, the prisoner, doesn't escape his prison.
