Jasper POV I reached the castle, and Jaxon was already standing at the entrance, waiting for me. "Follow me. The queen is waiting," he said, turning around and starting to head inside. I rolled my eyes and followed him. Nothing was said between us, not like I was expecting anything, though. As we walked, I allowed my eyes to wander around the hallway. This was definitely my first time stepping foot inside this castle, let alone being invited by the royals. Incredible, right? I smirked. The walls were designed with stones, making them appear rough, and the floor was tiled in stunning gold and white marble mosaics, creating a dazzling visual effect. Recessed lights were embedded in the ceiling, casting a warm, inviting glow that illuminated the space with sophistication.
