Isabelle breathed in deeply as she stood on the balcony overlooking the castle grounds.

The sun shone brightly above her head, and the birds chirped happily as they flew overhead. She looked down at the bustle of activity below.

"Looking at them makes me want to take a nap." Isabelle hummed aloud, stretching.

"Mrow~!" A voice meowed next to her, startling her slightly. She jumped at the unexpected intrusion, whipping around to stare at the source of the noise.
