Within the manor, the echoes of laughter and chatter from the evening's dinner had faded into the hushed whispers of slumber. The aroma of delicacies still lingered in the air, a nostalgic reminder of the conviviality that had graced the dining hall just hours before.
As the hours waned, the celestial canopy above shimmered with an ethereal brilliance. Millions of stars adorned the firmament, casting a soft, luminescent glow over the surrounding landscape. The moon, veiled by the shroud of night, withheld its presence, allowing the stars to reign supreme in their celestial dance.
