Chapter 44: The Departure

"Have you prepared everything?" I inquired, stealing a glance at my brother, his small figure adorned in resplendent attire.

"Hmm.." He murmured in response, his jet-black hair cascading in gentle waves, framing his cherubic face. His bright blue eyes shimmered with a mix of excitement and nervousness, reflecting the significance of the occasion.

As members of a noble family, no expense was spared in dressing him for this momentous event. The tailors meticulously tailored his garments, imbuing them with an air of regality befitting our station. A crisp white shirt, delicately adorned with lace at the collar and cuffs, accentuated his youthful innocence.

A royal blue velvet doublet, intricately embroidered with golden thread, hugged his small frame, emphasizing his noble lineage. The trousers, crafted from the finest silk, flowed elegantly down to his polished leather shoes, completing the ensemble.
