The surprise of the courtyard's first snow had already spread, and the people near the windows in the banquet hall had also spread the word. People were streaming out of the buildings or standing at the windows, marveling at the first snow of the year.
For the Princess's wedding, this could be considered a pretty nice gift.
Seeing so many people watching the snow, Shard planned to find his cat, so the cat, who had never seen snow since birth, could see what snow looked like.
But before he could turn around, a whisper in his ear reminded him:
"Your dance partner has arrived."
"Shard!"
Someone tapped him on the right shoulder from behind, Shard turned around to his right and looked back, but didn't see anyone. Then he looked to his left, and Iluna was smiling, standing among the crowd with her hands behind her back looking at him.
