As morning broke over the Obrechtz estate, golden light seeped over the fortified walls, transforming them from imposing sentinels to shimmering ramparts. The sun's gentle rays danced across the manicured gardens, where birds sang in harmonious waves, their melodies intertwining with the sweet scent of rosevine and frost-lilies carried on the soft breeze. The Obrechtz winter courtyards, once bathed in moonlight's silvery glow, now basked in the warm, golden hues of dawn.
