Haimirich's Imperial main palace had this strange layout. It was almost like a split. The design of the front part and the back part were nearly identical. Like two identical palaces, facing back to back.
Aries never thought of this before, but now, it somehow made sense.
The Empire, in a sense, had two faces; two different worlds. The day where the humans come in and out, working throughout. And then once the night fell where all the creatures of the night prowl and gather.
"Abel…" Aries whispered in her ragged breathing, sprinting through the hallway, heading to the great hall that was rarely used. She didn't care if anyone would see her, even though she, fortunately, hadn't bumped into anyone.
Good thing she was wearing male clothing. Hence, her mobility wasn't restrained by those heavy dresses. Aries grabbed her wig while running, taking it off, and letting her braids fall.
