She pulled the curtain aside, revealing a glimpse of the bustling city she had never truly experienced. The golden rays of the sunrise painted the buildings in a warm glow, casting a magical aura upon the streets below.
Observing the vibrant scene, Selena turned to Edith sitting opposite her in the carriage. "Is it always this busy?" she inquired, her voice tinged with curiosity. Selena found solace in the liveliness of the city, a stark contrast to the coldness she had endured in the cold dungeon she was locked in for most of her life.
Edith, relieved to see Selena embracing their departure from Lowoak with such composure, smiled gently. "It gets even busier than this, Your Majesty," she replied. Edith admired Selena's resilience and admired her even more in this moment, as she faced this unfair situation with grace.
