"Hahaha! Chase me, Fiona!"
In the inner palace courtyard, Iris, Charlotte, and Stella ran in all directions, laughing as Fiona chased after them.
"I won't lose!" Fiona shouted, puffing out her cheeks with determination. Her eyes locked onto Charlotte, who was running a little slower than the others.
"Got you, big sister!" She laughed, tapping Charlotte's arm before dashing away on her short legs.
"Ouch!" Charlotte groaned, tapping her forehead in frustration. "You're too fast, Fiona! That's not fair!"
"Hehehe..." Fiona giggled, sticking out her tongue in a teasing manner. "That's because you're the slow one."
Charlotte froze at her sister's mischievous expression. Her cheeks turned red, and a faint, slightly wicked smile crept across her lips.
"So, you've gotten even more mischievous after all these months, huh? Alright then—I'm your big sister, and I won't lose to you… and neither will you two!"
