After a while Sophia Decided to take a walk around the house...
As Sophia stepped out of the dining room, the grand hallway unfolded before her. She gazed down the corridor, her eyes tracing the intricate patterns on the walls and the polished marble floor. The hallway seemed to stretch on forever, lined with numerous doors that led to unknown rooms.
Sophia glanced to her right, recognizing the familiar passage that led to her own room. She had walked through it earlier with Rachel, and now she decided to explore the opposite direction. As she strolled down the hallway, the silence was almost palpable, broken only by the soft creaking of the floor beneath her feet.
The sheer scale of the mansion began to overwhelm Sophia. She felt tiny, like a speck in a vast ocean. The estate was enormous, with multiple houses and gardens, but her uncle's personal apartment was the largest of all. Sophia wondered how many people it would take to fill such a massive space.
As she walked, Sophia noticed the various doors that lined the hallway. Some were slightly ajar, while others were closed, their surfaces adorned with intricate carvings or polished to a high shine. She was tempted to push open one of the doors, to uncover the secrets that lay beyond. However, she restrained herself, fearing that she might accidentally break something or disrupt the carefully arranged interior.
Instead, Sophia continued her stroll, her mind reeling with wonder and curiosity. The mansion was a labyrinth, full of hidden passages and secrets waiting to be uncovered. She began to ponder the history of the estate, wondering about her uncle's family and their lives within these walls.
Questions swirled in her mind: Did her uncle have a wife and children? Were there other relatives who lived in the estate? What kind of life did they lead, surrounded by such opulence and grandeur? Sophia's curiosity was piqued, but she decided to save her questions for later, when her uncle returned. She would have plenty of time to learn more about his family and their lives within the estate.
