Chapter 23: The Dance of Hearts
The sun bathed the kingdom in its golden glow, casting a warm and cheerful ambiance as Seraphina, King Alexander, and the mischievous Duke of North found themselves engaged in a playful banter. The air was filled with laughter and light-hearted jests, their bond as strong as ever.
Duke, known for his quick wit and playful nature, couldn't resist the opportunity to tease both Seraphina and his twin brother, the King. He relished in their reactions, savoring the joy that bloomed on their faces.
"Ah, Seraphina," the Duke teased, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "I must say, your cleverness rivals that of a seasoned courtier. Are you sure you haven't been secretly studying the art of political intrigue?"
Seraphina playfully swatted at the Duke's arm, a mischievous smile tugging at her lips. "Oh, Duke, you underestimate me. Perhaps it is you who should be wary of my hidden talents."
