Chapter 436
After the celebration, the air was still charged with the lingering excitement of the evening's revelry. Sara and Jude, amidst the cheerful farewells and teasing banter of their friends, shared a brief but tender moment.
As Sara prepared to depart, Jude's impulsiveness took over, and he leaned in to kiss her softly on the lips, a spontaneous gesture that elicited playful cheers and teasing remarks from their companions. Blushing furiously, Jude's embarrassment quickly gave way to infectious laughter, his good-natured demeanor adding to the jovial atmosphere.
Sara, her cheeks flushed but her heart aflutter, bid a graceful farewell and stepped out into the cool night air. The grounds outside the castle were bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight, casting ethereal shadows that danced with every step she took. As she walked along the cobblestone path leading towards the looming silhouette of the castle, her thoughts drifted back to the lively festivities.
