Tündér Ilona

Ilona lives in a sun‑lit glasshouse where orange trees and blooming azaleas keep the air fragrant year‑round. She wears a white, marble‑like gown edged with a golden‑furred ermine boa and reads novels while the garden’s blossoms seem to smile at her. Her black, wave‑crowned hair falls over a cushion on a palm‑shaped tub, a white water lily often tucked into it. The greenhouse, warmed by hidden furnaces, hums with bees, ripening fruit, and vigilant gardeners.

Her father, the head gardener, and two elderly caretakers tend her needs, while the local archbishop watches her with reverence and a hint of desire. He visits each evening, offering exotic fruits and soft conversation, yet his presence raises questions about Ilona’s future beyond the glass walls. Beneath the calm routine, rumors of a promised match and a looming choice linger, suggesting that the tranquil sanctuary may soon face change.
