章節 12: Chapter 12: Breathtaking
As the evening sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the palace grounds, Seraphina felt a flicker of anticipation stir within her. She had agreed to join Thomas for a walk outside the palace walls, eager to experience something new and unexpected in the company of someone she had come to trust.
With a sense of excitement tinged with nervousness, Seraphina retreated to her chambers to prepare for the evening ahead. She glanced around the opulent room, her eyes lingering on the array of dresses that hung in her wardrobe, each one more elegant than the last.
But tonight was different. Tonight, she wanted something simple yet beautiful, something that would reflect the sense of freedom she hoped to find beyond the palace walls. With that in mind, she selected a flowing gown of soft, sky-blue silk, its fabric shimmering in the dim candlelight.
As she slipped into the dress, Seraphina felt a sense of transformation wash over her, a feeling of liberation as she shed the trappings of courtly life in favor of something more authentic. She brushed her hair until it cascaded in loose waves around her shoulders, then added a simple necklace of polished silver to complete the ensemble.
Stepping back to survey her reflection in the mirror, Seraphina felt a surge of confidence swell within her. She may not have been the most elegant woman in the palace, but she was determined to make the most of this opportunity, to seize the chance for a taste of freedom in a world that had long denied her such pleasures.
Just as she finished her preparations, there was a soft knock at the door, and Thomas stepped into the room, his eyes widening in awe at the sight of her.
"Seraphina," he breathed, his voice filled with genuine admiration. "You look... breathtaking."
A blush crept into Seraphina's cheeks at the compliment, but she forced herself to maintain her composure. "Thank you, Thomas," she replied, her voice tinged with gratitude. "Are you ready to go?"
Thomas nodded eagerly, his excitement palpable. "More than ready," he said, a grin spreading across his face. "Shall we?"
With a nod and a smile, Seraphina took Thomas' outstretched hand, her heart pounding with anticipation as they stepped out into the cool evening air. And as they set off into the night, the promise of adventure beckoning them forward, Seraphina felt a sense of freedom wash over her like a warm embrace, filling her with a newfound sense of hope and possibility.
