"This place… is serene." Amanda sighed, her gaze sweeping over the peaceful town as she and Edric sat on the small terrace of his home.
For Edric, owning a house wasn't anything extraordinary—before joining the academy, he had been an adventurer, traveling from place to place. But this town… this was where he had chosen to stay.
They had arrived earlier today, and Amanda had loved every moment of it.
The light of the setting sun bathed the rooftops, casting long, soft shadows across the cobbled streets. Gentle laughter and quiet conversations drifted up from below, where people gathered at cozy cafés and bakeries, savoring the last warmth of the day.
The air carried the scent of fresh bread and blooming flowers, wrapped in a light breeze that rustled the trees lining the streets. Lanterns flickered to life one by one, their glow reflecting in the windowpanes, making the town look like something out of a dream.
