In the Valeria Empire, the capital city, known as the City of Glory, far from the biting winds and frozen earth.
The sun rose in the east. In the former princess's chambers, now the Regent's palace, a petite golden-haired girl sat at the edge of a soft, large bed, her emerald-green eyes lowered as she gazed at her hand slowly pulling a stocking upward from the heel.
Brilliant sunlight poured into the room, illuminating the smooth, fair skin of the young girl's slender legs. One leg was already sheathed in a delicate milk-white silk stocking, its golden-threaded cuff coiled in intricate patterns, accentuating the tender thighs of the imperial empress. Due to the sheer fabric, the girl's bent knees appear pinkish-white. Below, her calf, bathed in sunlight, traced a straight, elegant line down to her foot, where the silk-covered instep resembled creamy pudding in softness.
