For a moment, the air between them was thick with tension, two forces at a standstill but before Daniel could act, Liam took a step back and said, “You want to play smart? Fine. Then do your part and trust me to do mine.”
Without waiting for another word, Liam turned and strode off, his movements quick and determined.
Theo cursed under his breath “Damn it, he’s actually going.”
Daniel exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair “I see why Elle likes him now, both are equally stubborn, really a match made in heaven” he muttered to himself as turned to the others and said “Let him go, we have work to do.”
Kira glanced at him “You sure about that?”
“No,” Daniel muttered, his jaw tight “But we don’t have time to fight among ourselves.”
Theo sighed, shaking his head. “Let’s ju

For a heartbeat, there was only the muted sound of Liam’s breathing. Then Elena slowly let go of Liam’s hand, straightened up and turned her eyes landing on Alisha, Alex, Sharon, and Ria standing a few paces away.“Now” she said, her voice soft but unmistakable “tell me the truth. What happened?”Ria’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. Sharon shifted her weight, staring hard at the floor tiles. Alex just exhaled through his nose and looked to Alisha, wordlessly passing the burden back to her.Alisha swallowed hard. She’d kept her hands locked around the lacquered box the whole time, as though the truth itself might leap out if she let go. But now, under Elena’s gaze, there was no point holding it back.She stepped forward and gently placed the box on the low table near the bed. Her voice trembled as she began, “We didn’t tell you everything because… we didn’t understand it ou

But the faces — the faces were what stole Liam’s breath and turned his blood to ice.Because it was him. The same eyes, the same angular lines of his jaw, his unmistakable bearing, though the attire was of an ancient, hair bound in a warrior’s knot, a royal sash crossing his chest.And beside him, draped in silks of silver and dusk blue, a woman, her eyes bright, her smile serene yet mischievous even in paint.It was Elena.Not a likeness, not a vague resemblance. It was exactly them.The scroll trembled in Liam’s grasp. The world seemed to tilt sideways, the distant calls of the palace gardens muted by the rush of his own pulse.Alisha’s voice broke through the hush, trembling slightly “Liam… that’s… that’s you and Elena…” but Liam could not here it as flashes of images started passing through his mind.The flashes were too fast, too bright and too real.

Liam stepped forward wordlessly. He knelt, lifting the bundle out with surprising care. Up close, the box looked even more alien, its edges seamless, its surface etched with that old royal crest so finely it almost seemed to breathe under the soft terrace light.As Liam held it, a faint pulse of familiarity brushed the back of his mind — a flicker, like a forgotten dream he couldn’t quite catch. He frowned, fingers drifting over the delicate engravings.Sharon’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts, oblivious to the storm flickering behind his eyes. She brushed off her hands and nudged him with her elbow.“See? Told you it’s impossible to open. Believe me, I tried hammers, acid, enchantments and even bribed a shady locksmith once. Useless.”But before she could finish her triumphant rant, Liam moved. Almost without thought, he crossed to the stone table at the terrace’s centre. He laid the box down gently, then h

A gentle voice drifted in from behind them at that moment “Why, in the gods’ names, are you all laughing like a pack of drunk hyenas?”Liam’s head whipped around so fast he nearly toppled off the fountain’s ledge. Gracefully walking towards them on the lantern-lit path was Elena with an elegant brow arched. A stray curl fell over her forehead, making her look far too lovely for Liam’s sanity.As she drew closer, Liam sprang to his feet and offered his hand to her with exaggerated gallantry “It’s nothing darling, they are just pulling my leg” he said, shooting a glare at his so-called friends. As Elena slipped her hand into his, he added quickly, “Come, sit here with me—”But Elena halted him with a light touch to his chest “No, I can’t stay. I just got a call from Master Kai, I have to leave now, there’s some work to handle.”Liam’s face fell immediately,

The rest of the event unfolded exactly as it should have… elegant, filled with laughter and warm words.When the final toast was raised beneath a canopy of lanterns swaying gently in the twilight breeze, Elena and Liam slipped away from the endless line of well-wishers to join their closest friends by the secluded fountain courtyard.The air smelled of blooming night jasmines; gentle music drifted from the main garden. Edward and Elizabeth were laughing over some childhood story; Cassandra and Alistair bickered playfully over wine at a distance while Alisha leaned close to Ria, whispering something that made her giggle behind her hand.Liam sat with Elena tucked easily against his side on the wide stone ledge of the fountain. She toyed with his fingers idly, smiling at something Cassandra said about her brother’s dancing.But then Elena rose lightly, brushing a kiss to Liam’s temple. “Excuse me for a moment, I need to use the powe

The Queen Mother shook her head, fondness warming her features as she regarded the young woman before her.“You remind me of your mother and Elizabeth when they were of your age,” the older queen murmured, her voice pitched for Elena alone “But far braver than they ever dared to be. May the gods keep your courage strong, child.”“Thank you, Your Majesty” Elena’s smile softened, and she dipped her head once more in respect. Then, catching a familiar ripple of deep laughter over her shoulder, she turned slightly and there he was.Liam, freshly bathed and roguishly handsome in his formal attire, hair still damp at the temples, strode through the canopy’s entrance. His eyes, searching the garden, found Elena’s at once, and the mischief that flared there nearly made her cheeks betray her all over again.Alistair followed her gaze and let out a knowing huff of amusement “Ah… and here comes your
