Nope… No… This is a trap, you can't do it…

May Break my Bones

You reject their deal, and while they both look a little irritated, they don’t say anything to you as you walk out the door. You feel like you’ve escaped a deadly situation, one that might have ruined more than your face if you hadn’t been careful.

But that thought quickly fades when you hear the sound of footsteps.

You quickly slip back behind a pillar, vanishing from sight as a group of girls chatter and walk through the halls. When they leave, you continue your exploration of the palace grounds.

You enter into a garden of sorts, one filled with flowers and plants of various types, with a large hedge maze which you take the time to explore.

It's a pretty imposing sight at first, with thick leaves rising above you, but its neat trimming and flowers occasionally dotting its surface smoothen its aura. Making it seem like a fun place to explore.

And explore is what you do. Spending at least an hour wandering through its paths. Some are paved, some are not, some have flowers while others are just green all around.

You come upon a little area as you explore. A door made of leaves. Which confuses you a moment as you grab the handle, feeling that it's more like wood then leaves in your hand.
