The streets outside the castle were bustling with activity.
Countless joyful faces filled the air, creating a vibrant sea of happiness.
In the center of the road, enormous flower-decked floats, adorned with flowers and vines, slowly rolled by.
On these floats, elegantly dressed young girls danced gracefully.
The air was filled with the scents of flowers, wine, food, and the joyous sounds of people laughing, all merging into a festive atmosphere that was intoxicating.
Isabella's footsteps came to a complete stop.
Her eyes reflected the kaleidoscope of colors before her, shining with an unprecedented brilliance.
"Little brother, look!"
"It's a flower parade!"
Her voice, full of barely contained excitement, was free of the charm and teasing she had earlier exhibited in the tavern.
"Shall we go join it?"
Isabella looked up at Daniel, her gaze almost pleading, filled with eager expectation.
Daniel did not respond immediately.
