As Sanura slowly walked through the hall, thinking about how different the interior was compared to her house and the general look of the region, her eyes fell on the open window. The colorful flowers immediately attracted attention and it reminded her of the valley of flowers near her house.
However, her image was suddenly interrupted by a middle-aged gentleman. As their eyes meet, the man’s shock is evident. Sanura guessed he didn’t expect anyone to look out any more than she expected someone to suddenly appear at that moment. the shocked look and the catching her own astonishment caused a chuckle to escape. Surprisingly, she found that it relieved a bit of tension, too. “You look like I just caught you peeping” she says as she walks over to him. It was clear with a simple glance that the gentleman in mud-covered clothes was part of the gardeners. “Don’t worry, I don’t bite” she jokes to reassure the gentleman.
Then she looks at the watering can in his hands and then the wet flowers by the window. “they are beautiful” she then compliments in a soft and friendly tone. “The garden shows that a lot of attention is paid to the plants,” she adds before pausing for a moment to appreciate the image of the flowers even more. “there is no reason to look shocked if you are spotted by us, this is an image to be proud of” she says.
Sanura didn’t know her reason for complimenting the man. Somehow she wanted to make sure that the people who work in the palace and who regularly come into contact with her, don’t address her too formally. But part of her felt that hard work should always be noticed. Thinking of her father who had to do physically demanding work every day and gets little appreciation for it.
