The Archduke's manor was an architectural gem amongst the beautiful landscapes of Emoria, and the garden that surrounded it was no less than a splendid piece of art.
Handpicked by Grace de Lanark, every flower planted there was one to bloom all year round. Long marble columns were climbed by flexible vines with dangling branches, and the road that went through it was paved with rare white stones available only in Lanark, and exported only to Fevra where the Emorian capital was.
The garden was even livelier today.
The Archduke's family followed by his commander and the knights of the First Order, then every man, woman, and child living or working in the estate gathered there to welcome the esteemed guest. Adela stood in front of them all, right next to her father, dressed in a beautiful golden gown beneath its matching golden cape.
