"I did not understand his words about the lap timings and all then, but I remembered every word he had told me. After a few years as I grew up, all he had said started to make sense, and I worked hard every day towards it until I achieved it three years ago," Liam said.
"Then your uncle must be really proud of you, right?" Lea asked.
After a few seconds of silence, Liam said, "He would have been if he could see me now, but…"
"What happened, Liam?" Lea asked.
"A few years ago, he met with an accident, and since then, he has been in a coma. All the doctors have given up hope of him waking up," Liam said.
"I... I am sorry... I didn't know," Lea stammered, hearing the information shared with her.
"It's okay, it is all in the past now. Don't burden yourself with this. I just got a bit emotional coming back to this place," Liam comforted Lea.
Lea gave him a reassuring smile in return.

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

“Mine…” he growled softly, every kiss sealing that promise into her skin “Only mine…”Elena’s soft gasp turned into a half-laugh, half-whimper as his lips marked a slow, heated path down her neck. She clutched at his shoulders, eyes fluttering shut when he found that tender spot just above her collarbone, the place he knew made her forget the world existed.“Liam…” she breathed, though it came out more like a plea than a scolding.“Mmh?” he hummed against her skin, mouth curving into a wicked smile that she could feel rather than see.“Stop— wait—” she managed, but any protest dissolved when he nipped lightly at her pulse, then soothed it with his tongue. The sensation made her knees weaken and a soft, helpless sound escaped her throat.When he finally lifted his head, his eyes were dark, pupils blown wide with possessive heat. Her own reflection trem

Louis, who had lingered nearby with arms folded, watched the tender moment with a grin tugging at his lips. He let the silence settle like a blessing over the garden before clearing his throat deliberately.“Alright, sentimental uncle,” he drawled, mischief dancing in his tone, “you’ve stolen enough of my daughter’s peace for now. Go wash off the dust before you frighten the nobles, the ceremony is about to begin.”Liam lifted his gaze, scowling playfully at his brother “Yes, yes, Lord Father-Hen. Don’t glare, I’m going.”Louis just chuckled and clapped him on the shoulder once more, pushing him gently toward the main corridor that led his room in the manor.Reluctantly, Liam rose to his feet, casting one last glance at the sleeping baby and the proud mother beside her before turning away, boots silent now against the marble floors polished for the celebration.He tugged at the collar of h
