Chapitre 116: Bonus chapter: Valentine's day

I stirred from my slumber, the softness of the silk sheets a stark contrast to the cold stone floor of our castle. As my eyes fluttered open, I was greeted by the sweet fragrance of roses that filled the air, a reminder of the day that lay ahead—Valentine's Day.

"Good morning, Leora," Zephara's voice was a melody that danced through the air, as she leaned in to place a tender kiss upon my brow. "Happy Valentine's Day, my dearest."
