บท 201: I'm not stifling, I'm sheltering

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.

People rushed about, preparing for the festivities that would take place later that night. It wasn't the wedding yet, but it was an early celebration of the announcement of the wedding.

She watched them scurry about with amusement, shaking her head slightly at their antics.

Really, she was beginning to think Nevremia just looked for any excuse at all to have a holiday and set up festivities.

"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.
