Noelle's POV
I can't stop the gasp that escapes me.
The grand hall is enormous. Bigger than I imagined. My footsteps echo as I step forward, my eyes sweeping across the unfinished space. The walls stretch high, the ceiling soaring above with intricate carvings. Sunlight pours through tall arched windows, casting long golden streaks across the polished wooden floor.
Dust lingers in the air, stirred by the movement of workers as they adjust chandeliers, still wrapped in protective coverings. The place isn't complete yet, but it doesn't take away from how breathtaking it is.
