章 92: The Royal Parade (2)

The streets of Zephyros were alive with excitement, a sea of people gathered on both sides of the cobblestone paths, holding flowers, banners, and flags.

The anticipation was clear for all to see as everyone awaited the first public appearance of Prince Eirik, the future husband of their crown prince, Kaelix.

No one outside the palace had seen Prince Eirik's face yet, and though whispers of his beauty had spread like wildfire, many believed the rumors were exaggerated.

The story of his arrival in a veil, hidden from sight, had only heightened the mystery.

Servants and courtiers who had glimpsed him in the palace swore that his beauty was beyond compare, with features so flawless they bordered on the unreal. But the common folk, skeptical and curious, had come in droves to finally see the man who would be their future prince.
