My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

It was indeed a sizable compound. After breakfast, Hendrix took me for a walk around the yards before telling me to get dressed to visit Nerissa.

It was my first time in Jarold City. As the capital city, its imposing flourish was highlighted through the historical memories. At the same time, the city was also developing with the advancement of the new era. However, the downside with a city this size was probably its traffic.

After getting out of the car, I looked up to see shrubberies and rare species of trees. Among the woods, there was a pond, and it was full of white and pink water lilies. The scenery was breathtaking. Holding hands, Hendrix and I walked on a cobblestone path for some time before we finally arrived at a large and refined villa.
