Celine stared at the garden until Ludwig returned to her side. "This place... I know it."
Her voice had softened. She crouched and touched one of the stone borders.
"It used to be one of my favorite parts of the estate. There were more flowers then, and a fountain." She said.
It felt almost as if she had been here just yesterday when it was still full of people, and life. Now, although better when it was controlled by the Moonflayed King.
Ludwig looked around and found the remains of one beneath the vines near the far wall. "That should be an easy fix."
Celine smiled slightly. "I came here whenever the manor became too loud."
"Too many nobles?"
"Usually." She moved farther into the garden and looked toward the old tree. "And Van Dijk."
Ludwig's expression softened as Celine rested one hand against the bark.
