บท 126: A Day of Whimsical Wonders

Emily woke to the gentle chirping of birds and the warm embrace of sunlight streaming through her window. She stretched languidly, feeling an unusual sense of excitement bubbling within her. Today was a special day, a day she had meticulously planned to spend with Seraphina, far away from the crushing weight of leadership and the relentless demands of her role. It was a day for laughter, love, and perhaps a bit of mischief.

She hurried through her morning routine, her thoughts already on the surprise she had prepared. Seraphina was still asleep when Emily gently nudged her awake. "Rise and shine, sleepyhead," Emily said with a grin. "We have a day of adventure ahead!"

Seraphina groaned and pulled the covers over her head. "It's too early for adventures. Come back in an hour."

Emily laughed, yanking the covers off entirely. "Nope, not today! I have a surprise for you, and I promise you won't want to miss it."
