Bab 14: Different Prospects - II

Elizabeth got up from her chair & went to the balcony from where the vast garden filled with many beautiful flowers were visible. As she leaned on the stone railing looking towards the sky, a knock on the door was heard & Cadilla entered the room carrying evening snacks.

She placed the tray on the table & went towards the place where the princess was to give her some news she had received from her sources.

Elizabeth knew it was her maid, so she didn't turn or greet her. She kept looking at the sky, illuminated by the yellowish rays of the setting sun & the maid stood beside her looking at the same scenery.

"It's beautiful. Isn't it....?" asked the princess in a soft tone.

"Yes milady. It's beautiful." Replied the maid, looking towards a group of birds who were flying together to reach their homes before nightfall, for their children.
