Folk festival

From the balcony of her chambers, Rhea looks out, beyond the city that lies below the castle, surrounded by the mountains. From there, she can also see the walls and the lake that protects them from the outside world. Her eyes can also reach the horizon, where the wild land rises beyond the Bestiary Continent, but there's really nothing than earth. Rhea catches herself wondering what lies ahead, further south.

But her attention wanders to the lively city, which she can see that's crowded with people who are having fun. She feels her chest burn with anticipation and a certain disappointment; since finding that her pheromones are getting stronger, she hasn't been able to enjoy the folk festival as she had planned. Five days have passed since her Bonding Ceremony, and soon the festival will come to an end, on the arrival of the full moon.

And this causes anxiety to bubble up inside Rhea's body.

“My Queen, is something wrong?” Atria asks, with an evidently worried expression on her face.
