They had decided that this day would be a day of leisure, dedicated entirely to each other.After a late, leisurely breakfast, Roberick suggested a visit to the castle's gardens. The extensive gardens of Arodona Castle were a place of both beauty and solitude, a haven where the couple often sought solace and shared their most intimate moments.They strolled hand in hand, passing through perfectly manicured hedges and fragrant flower beds. The castle's roses were in full bloom, and their vibrant colors added a sense of romance to the already picturesque surroundings.Amidst the beauty of the gardens, Roberick surprised Cynthia with a thoughtful gift.

Roderick, his heart pounding, finally summoned the courage to speak."Cynthia," he began, his voice barely above a whisper, "there's something I've been wanting to tell you."Cynthia turned to him, her eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of anticipation.
