บท 247: First Halloween [BONUS CHAPTER]

– POV General –

It was lunchtime, as usual, the Imperial family was eating in the private flower garden even though autumn had finally arrived in Elysium. The trees and bushes were covered with a thick layer of dead leaves, some had lost their foliage completely, while others were still losing it. The air was crisp and the falling leaves tinged the Empire's landscape with fiery reds, oranges and yellows

The air was cold and crisp, but the sun was warm enough for the Empress and her family to sit outside without shivering. The air smelled fresh and crisp, like the first snow but the birds were singing happily outside bringing something unique. The breeze carried the smell of burning wood smoke mixed with the smell of damp earth, grass and the sweet musky smell of autumn.
