In the soft morning light, Izaak woke to find Roseline peacefully asleep beside him. Her soft tresses lay scattered over the pillow, and with a tender smile, Izaak gently ran his fingers through them. He leaned down to plant a delicate kiss on her forehead before carefully slipping out of bed, trying not to disturb her slumber.
After bathing and dressing in his formal robes, Izaak found himself in an unusually cheerful mood. His heart light, he turned to Zerah and said, "There will be no work for me today. I intend to spend the entire day with my wife."
"Of course, Your Highness," Zerah replied with a respectful bow. "I will clear your schedule immediately." With that, Zerah exited the chamber.
