"Alright," she nodded but she couldn't shake off the strange feeling that came over her heart. Why was she the only one to hear that strange sound? It's sounded twice yet Jace hasn't heard it.
As soon as they were in the privacy of their chamber, Grace turned to Jace.
"About the sound, you're sure you didn't hear anything?" Grace asked earnestly.
"I'm afraid I… did… not. Maybe it was a special way of the palace welcoming their princess home, and since I'm not a prince, I didn't hear it."
Jace meant it as a joke but Grace clearly took it the other way as the next second, her eyes widened in disbelief.
'That's it! That's a reasonable explanation. If not, how come she's the only person hearing the sound? She definitely wasn't hallucinating.
After coming to that conclusion in her mind, instead of putting her mind to rest, her forehead furrowed again in a frown.
'But is this still possible in modern times? This is the 21st century for Pete's sake.'
