The portal unfurled with a ripple of light, releasing Liam and Elena into the secluded emerald garden of the Asterin palace. The air here was still, heavy with the scent of dew-soaked vines and rare blossoms, untouched by the usual bustle of palace life. Ivy-covered stone walls enclosed the space, and above, sunlight filtered through enchanted crystal leaves that shimmered softly like starlight in daylight.

Liam took a moment to adjust to the sudden shift, eyes scanning their surroundings “You chose the emerald garden to open the portal…” he noted quietly “Smart. No one patrols here at this time of the day.”

Elena didn’t speak anything, just gave a knowing smile.

“Where to now?” Liam asked, stepping beside her.

She turned to him, her expression unreadable “King Edward’s chambers.”

Liam blinked, startled “Uncle Edward’s room? Why? he’s been in a coma for years now,

    After enjoying this calm and beautiful moment for a few minutes Elena suddenly lifted her head from Liam’s shoulders as if she just remembered something “After Aunt Beth and Alisha come here for the engagement ceremony tomorrow, I want you to come with me to Asterin.”“Why?” Liam asked turning towards her with a confused expression.“With the little amount of time I had in the I could not prepare a proper gift for my future sister-in-law so I have to go to Asterin to prepare the gift I have in my mind.”Liam blinked at her, both surprised and amused “You want me to come to Asterin with you… to help you prepare a gift?”Elena tilted her head, her smile deepening with mischief “Not help. Accompany. There’s a difference.”“Of course there is. But I am just curious, why do you want me to accompany you?”“Because I don’t want any obstructions in my way, and I know by boyfriend is capable of handling this small work for me.”Liam laughed softly, brushing a stray blossom from her hair “He su

    From the shadowed archway leading into the garden, Caroline stood frozen, hidden just behind the ivy-laced stone.Her red eyes were wide, her breath caught in her throat as she watched Liam — her Liam — locked in a passionate embrace with the woman she had never truly believed would return.The woman Liam had waited for all these years.Caroline’s fingers trembled against the stone wall, her breath shallow, chest heaving as though she had just taken a blade to the ribs.She couldn’t tear her eyes away.Liam’s arms that were wrapped around Elena with a desperation tore at Caroline’s insides — not the calm, composed Liam she had come to know, but a man completely undone, consumed, and found again. His lips on Elena’s, his body pressed into hers — it wasn’t just a reunion. It was claiming. It was belonging. And it shattered something inside Caroline.“Her Liam.”That lie she had clung to for so long, whispered to herself in quiet nights and bloody battlefields, suddenly burned like

    On the other side Caroline balled her fists listening to this news.Sophie touched her arm gently “Caroline…” she began quietly, but Caroline shook her off, her gaze locked in the direction Liam had left.Meanwhile, Liam had already slipped through the side corridor, his boots echoing faintly on the stone floor. He passed through the arched doorways and into the palace gardens, where the evening air was cool and scented with jasmine and freshly watered grass.Here, the noise of the palace fell away. The garden was nearly empty — no nobles, no servants, no curious eyes. Only the soft rustle of leaves in the evening breeze and the faint trickle of the fountain could be heard.And there, near a blooming cherry blossom tree, sitting quietly at a small wrought-iron table, was Elena.She sat alone, a porcelain teacup cradled between her hands, her long chocolate brown hair tumbling over her shoulders. She wore a simple pale blue

    Caroline turned to face Sophie, a determined fire flickering behind her red eyes “I’m not giving up,” she said firmly, her voice sharp but calm “I’ve fought beside Liam for two years. I’ve seen his strength, his loyalty, his heart… I know he still waits for her — but she’s been gone five years, Sophie. Five years with no word, no sign. At some point…” Caroline’s fists tightened at her sides, “At some point, he’ll have to stop waiting.”Sophie frowned, her silver hair shimmering faintly under the moonlight. “You’re playing a dangerous game, Caroline,” she said quietly “If you love him, truly… don’t try to force open a heart that’s already given away.”Caroline’s eyes softened — just a little “I’m not forcing anything,” she murmured “I’m just… standing here, waiting too. Waiting for t

    Five years later…In the desolate border village of Dreadmoor Kingdom, near the edges of the known lands, flames devoured the night.The village was a picture of ruin — homes caved in, livestock scattered, children’s cries echoing across the smoke-choked streets. Dark, cloaked figures moved with inhuman precision, their weapons gleaming with a sickly red sheen.These were the infamous Dark Knights, the soldiers of the dark lord Kal. These dark knights who had stayed hidden for years since the war five hundred years ago, buried in the shadows had reemerged two years ago.No one knew why.There motive and target unclear, but their cruelty was unmistakable.Tonight, they dragged screaming children towards there carrier beasts, their little faces pale with terror. The soldiers protecting the villages and the villagers who tried to resist lay broken on the ground, their blood painting the cobblestones.Suddenly —

    “Now that you’re leaving… does that answer still stand?”Elena’s breath hitched at the weight of the question. She glanced up at the stars for a brief moment, her eyes shimmering with unshed emotion, before looking back at him, her expression resolute “No, Liam… not for now. I don’t want you to feel any regret later, thinking you made a mistake getting together with me because you know Lea not Elena.”Liam’s brows furrowed deeply, confusion and frustration flashing across his face as he leaned in a little closer, searching her eyes “Elena… what are you talking about?” he asked, his voice thick with emotion “I know you. Don’t say it like you’re someone else entirely. Don’t push me away because of that.”Elena shook her head, her grip tightening on his cloak as if grounding herself “You think you know me Liam and maybe you do… to a point. But

    While all of this was happening inside no one noticed Liam, who just stood frozen at the door. His hand still resting on the frame where he had instinctively reached out—but never knocked. His eyes were wide, his breath shallow as he took in the gravity of what he had just heard.“Closed-door cultivation… dangerous… months, years…”The words echoed relentlessly in his mind, each one hitting him like a hammer.Liam just let out a frustrated sigh and then just turned back and went away from there wanting some time for himself.….After speaking for some more time Master Kai Von left with Kevin following behind him.As for Henery and Elizabeth, they stayed with Elena for some more time talking anything and everything. Once done with lunch they also left Elena’s room, leaving her to rest.Once they left the smile on Elena’s face disappeared as she just lay there on her bed, staring

    Elena nodded in understanding as she said “I understand.”Just as the words left her lips, another knock echoed softly on the door, followed by Kevin’s voice once more “Master… Mr. Henry and Mrs. Elizabeth are asking if they can come in now.”Master Kai glanced at Elena, his eyes silently asking if she was ready. She took a steadying breath and nodded.“Let them in,” Master Kai called back as he brought down the invisible barrier.The door creaked open, and Henry and Elizabeth rushed in almost at once. Relief flooded their faces as they saw Elena awake and sitting up, her complexion pale but her eyes clear and focused.“Elena!” Elizabeth cried, hurrying to her side and cupping Elena’s face in her trembling hands “Oh, thank the heavens, you’re awake. We’ve been so worried.”Henry also moved to the other side of Elena’s bed and sat down cupping her
