The sun shone brightly in the clear blue sky, casting a warm golden glow over the castle grounds. Despite the pleasant weather, a slight chill lingered in the air hinting at the approaching change of seasons. I stood outside in a long dress, the fabric swirling around my ankles as a gentle breeze rustled through the trees.
Azar stood beside me, his stern expression betraying his determination to maintain control. He had insisted I wore a long dress when I had opted for a short chiffon sleeveless dress already sensing how hot it was going to be today and it was also because I felt a sense of defiance within me at that moment.
I knew very well why he wanted me to cover up my runes. He still felt inferior probably because he always knew that some part of me still belonged to Ivan. Apart from riling Azar, I also longed to feel the sun on my skin, so I tried my luck but of course, Azar said no, even though I had claimed it was hot.
