CHAPTER SEVENTEEN ; 1/3

It was like her every nerve was suddenly on fire.

TRANSCRIPT:

[a clock chimes nearby, ringing out twelve times]

magdalena: [sighs]

celeste: Come in, your majesty… Come in.

. . .

c: I wondered when you would return. Waiting for the Emperor to retire to his quarters, perhaps?

m: No… I-I could not sleep. I needed to see… [gulps] I needed to be certain that Prince Luca was still breathing.

c: That does not surprise me. It is only natural for a fading Seam to cause restlessness.

m: What… What exactly do you mean?

c: Were you not aware…? You and the Prince have a Seam, your majesty. A bond that has not existed in over a thousand years.

m: …I do not think I heard you correctly. Prince Luca and I have… a Seam?

c: [nods] Mm. As it has been over a millennia since my old eyes have seen it, I was uncertain until you appeared outside the door moments ago.

m: But how did you know I was there?

c: The Seam appeared again. Flickering, as it was attempting to connect through solid wood, but there.

m: Lady Celeste, please explain.

c: I believe it would be much simpler to show you, your majesty. Allow me.

m: [gasps]
