Adele's voice carried a wistful tone as she continued, her eyes fixed on the ornate ceiling. "Legend has it that the Duke spared no expense in adorning this hall for his beloved. The intricate designs you see above us were handcrafted by artisans from across the continent, each detail a testament to his undying affection."
Derek found himself captivated not only by Adele's words but by the way she spoke them, her passion infusing life into the history of the place. He couldn't help but be drawn into the story, feeling as though he too had been transported back to a time of opulence and grandeur.
As they walked through the hall, Adele pointed out various features, each with its own tale to tell. From the marble columns imported from Italy to the chandeliers that once graced the halls of European palaces, every detail seemed to have a story behind it.
