Waves crashed against the shore, the fierce sunlight making it hard to keep one’s eyes open.
Sylutia wore a black sun hat and a black summer dress, walking in the gentle sea breeze as she followed the maid to the bustling outdoor market.
This was right beside the harbor, where goods freshly unloaded from ships were being moved to stalls for sale; the air smelled of fish mixed with spices, and the cobblestones underfoot were a bit hot.
