Lissa had been exiled into meeting after meeting, barely having any time to herself. She hadn't seen Christian in a while, or Dimitri, or Rose, Adrian, no one. Life as the Queen was busy and she couldn't wait to finally having some time to herself.
Once she was free, Lissa embraced the grounds of court, inhaling as much air as she could and staring up at the stars. Sometimes, she longed for the blue sky and sun she had grown accustomed to when on the run with Rose, but back in Moroi life, she kept a nocturnal schedule.
Walking along the grounds was strange now, people would come to a stand still and bow as she went past. Lissa didn't like it but she had accepted it, just like every other change within her life.
Including Jill.
Although Lissa hadn't spoken to her half sister since she left for Palm Springs, she had thought about her, almost daily. She knew she had acted coldly towards Jill, but having a constant reminder of her father's infidelity stabbed her through the heart worse than any stake ever could. She had heard that Jill had returned to court, with others from Palm Springs and she decided that it was time.
It was with great effort that she made her way here, hand curled into a fist and rapping twice on the wood of Jill's door.
