"I dropped us off at the closest location the magic can allow since we can't teleport directly into the palace," Lila told her as they walked on.
"Why is that?" Violet asked, intrigued.
"It's for the safety of the royal family. If anyone could just teleport at will into the palace, enemies could easily launch attacks anytime."
"Oh." Violet nodded in understanding.
"Although," Lila added, "your mother, Queen Seraphira, has the unique ability to teleport among her other powers. It would be nice to know what you can do now, princess."
Violet smiled shyly, nerves and anticipation eating her up. All this was new to her, and she was about to meet her biological mother. How was she supposed to act? This was going to be awkward.
It occurred to Violet at that moment. "How did you get out of Baron's imprisonment? I said I was going back for you, but I didn't know how, and Asher warned me not to attempt dream walking by myself."
