Unknown

Alice was more than eager to meet my whole family and guide me around the palace. He wandered in private courtyards and apartments, in the luxurious kitchens with the incredibly sweet smells, in courtyards with small fountains and gardens full of the strangest flowers with the very vivid colors.

I was separated from the others and the princess of Inal was pulling me into one of the royal gardens. Following the well-kept paths, we came out in front of a small clearing.

Young children were running around and one of them fell on my leg. The collision threw him to the ground and left a thin chorus that stopped the happy and intense conversations and made everyone's eyes turn to us. I helped the child to stand up and his rolled green eyes did not seem to come off my face. The little boy's tangled brown hair was blown by a light breeze. His characteristics were not as clear as those of the people of Inal.
