《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 52: Lumines Castle
Advertisement
Yasuline never felt so relieved and happy at the same time in a while. The three of them walking down together. It had been a while, but it felt like an eternity since. Thinking back, it likely had to do with all the events that happened the past few days that have made the peaceful days so far into the horizon.
Nearly getting killed the first time, meeting the White Reaper, watching him protect her from assassins. Escaping to the city, and going in a underground adventure with a new friend. Proving herself to be an adventurer and fighting off a group of demones from taking over the castle.
So many things in so little time. But it was all such fun in the end. Maybe, once she feels like it, she can retell it to her parents, the same way they shared their stories to her.
Should she write a book? She had thought. But then something took her out of her mind as the first signs of wear began to be in her sights.
Large slashes on the floor and wall were being left alone as the workers were more concerned with withdrawing the royal portraits that need to be checked for damages and relocated.
"Thankfully, none of them so far has been ruined." King Suko says as he looks at his painting and then the others. All being taken down.
"Yeah, that is pretty lucky," Yasuline commented quietly. Replaying the battle between the White Reaper and Caliber in her head. Mainly, at the moment of where the scars were made.
As they continue to walk down the hall. Yasuline would see a fair familiar face passing by. Just looking at them, made her vision flash at the empty expressions they once had when they were under the control of Apophis.

"Princess Yasuline, it is so good to see you awake once more. You almost had me worried that you would be missing out on all the hard work we been doing." Elise says in her usual elegant tone. Holding in her hands a large tub of water. She barely looked to be struggling, having it in her hands. The sisters, Cassie and Clair, would be standing behind her. Each of them holding a tower of towels that nearly covered their faces. Mostly their smiles as they get a small break. They take the chance to reward their eyes on the castle guards who showing off their physique by moving large debris around.
"And what fine work you all have been doing. I should plan out a celebration for you all later on once the castle has been rebuilt." Her father would say as he looks about around a bit.
"You are much too kind to us, your majesty. Anyways, stop staring girls, and let's keep going." She would order with a stern look on her face as she eyes forward and begins to walk forward with such authority that Yasuline felt it strong enough that she straightened up her back as she walks past her. The sisters would smile happily and nod at the royal family as they also pass by.
"Wait for me!" A voice shouted out in the hall. Looking forward, Yasuline could see Jessie, the new maid of the castle, was having trouble with her tower of towels. They were all jumbled one on top of another in order to keep them in her hands. Her tower was also high to the point that it covered her face and made it difficult for her to see what was in the way. Her father seemed to know of this and lightly pulled his wife and daughter out of the way of the bumbling maid as she zig-zag left and right of the hall, in order to keep the balance of the tower in one piece.

"Heh, having her around sure makes things lively." Her mother would comment as she starts to lead the three to continue on with their walk around.
The library would be up next to their left. Yasuline could see there were many of the hired hands around the wall and doorframe of the room. Or they would if they hadn't actually changed it into a large hole.
"Thankfully, only the damage was done to the door and the front wall. Doesn't seem like the books were touched. So that's a good sign." Her mother would say as each of them stick their heads in to see how it all was. As she has said, the library was barely touched from all the chaos from the battles and the number of castle workers that were under Apophis' control.
Her mother would take the opportunity to look through her collection of books as her father would spend the time to idle with the hired hand. Yasuline would take the break as intended as she walks over to one of the lounge chairs and sits back, leaning herself against it. She wasn't just joking about the idea of sleeping for another week. She still felt drained from whatever had happened to her. Although it was still a bit hazy, she felt something had happened just before she passed out and slept for so long. She'll likely have to try to get the White Reaper to explain it, in his odd ways to translate, such as impressions and simple writing. Thinking of seeing him again later on made her somewhat relaxed and she was nearly getting back to sleep until someone shouted her and woke her up.
"Now then, enough dilly-dally. Time for us to head to the meeting room." King Suko would shout with Caliber standing next to him.
