The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed and a bit sore from the previous day's training. Sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. I turned to see Aurelia still asleep beside me, her face relaxed and peaceful. For a moment, I simply watched her, feeling a swell of affection.
Eventually, I gently nudged her awake. "Good morning," I whispered, brushing a strand of hair from her face.
She blinked awake, a lazy smile spreading across her lips. "Good morning, Lydia," she murmured, stretching languidly. "Ready for breakfast?"
I nodded, and we got dressed, making our way down to the dining hall. Today, we decided to have breakfast alone, enjoying a quiet moment together before the day's activities began. The dining hall was empty save for the two of us, the long table laden with a variety of breakfast foods.
