What is recorded here

Marian and her twin brother built the castle for joy, not defense. They poured gold into rooms where music played and candles burned through every night. Soldiers came later and broke the gates, but the children had already hidden the castle inside a story. The fort still stands because joy refuses to leave empty stone.
