Music Recommendation: 72 Degrees and Sunny - Thomas Newman

—

One week passed in the Storm Kingdom, and during this time, Emily recovered her health, and her mood had significantly improved, though it had not completely returned to the tranquil state she once enjoyed. She explored the kingdom's towns alongside Julius, but they were never alone, as they were chaperoned by her maid Julia and Westley, whom Julia found to be unnerving. 

"You are becoming quite adept at playing the sheet of music without my help, Lady Emily. I am confident that soon enough, you will be able to play much more complicated pieces," Julius said as they strolled along a town street. 

Emily waved her hand dismissively and said, "I've only managed to learn two pages." 

"You do not have to be modest with me, Lady Emily. You are far more talented than most women could ever hope to be," Julius complimented her.
