The palace was unnervingly quiet.
Moonlight slipped through the tall, lattice windows, silvering the marbled floors. The guards stationed outside Silver's quarters were lulled into half-slumber, the monotonous silence of midnight wearing down their vigilance. Her footstep was creating a clicking sound echoing across the hallway.
Silver quickly hid in the wall as she stumble across one of the patrolling knights. She was taking a few deep breaths, her hand clutching her chest. She can never miss this meeting chance but she definitely will when one of the knight catch her. When she reached her destination, an empty room in the lower floor where a window goes directly through the secret tunnel, she took her slipper off. Silver decided to keep those path a secret to Natasha and Mila since Hiraya discovered it herself.
