Chapter Text
The air was warm with the vibrant, warm smell of roasted chestnuts and cinnamon, distant music and laughter filling the windowless halls and corridors of the palace.Perhaps the afternoon had already waned to the deep reds and golds of the evening sun as nothing dared break the softness of this evening.
