Kael had just reached for the door when it opened from the other side.

Morvienne stood there, clearly on her way out, her hand still on the handle. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw him.

"You're back," she said, a hint of surprise in her voice. "I thought you would stay longer."

Her gaze searched his face. "How did it go?"

A small smile tugged at his lips as he stepped forward, gently nudging the door wider. She moved back instinctively, allowing him in, then followed, closing the door b

    Kael's fork hovered in the air for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he processed the maid's words. But then he paused, a flicker of recognition crossing his face. "Thalira?" he repeated, setting the fork down with a soft clink. "Hmm... send her in. I'll meet her in my office."He pushed back from the table, the chair scraping lightly against the floor. "I'll be back," he said to Morvienne, his voice even but firm. Morvienne looked up, curiosity in her eyes, but nodded without a word, picking up her spoon to continue with the last of her pudding. Kael strode out of the dining room, his steps measured and quick as he headed to his office. When he got there, the door was ajar, and inside stood a young woman—tall and striking, with wild auburn hair tied back in a loose braid, her green eyes, thoughtful and self-assured. She wore travel-worn clothes: a fitted leather jacket over a simple tunic. She paced a little, then stopped when he entered, her face lighting up with a smile. "Kael!"

    Kael had just reached for the door when it opened from the other side. Morvienne stood there, clearly on her way out, her hand still on the handle. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw him. "You're back," she said, a hint of surprise in her voice. "I thought you would stay longer."Her gaze searched his face. "How did it go?"A small smile tugged at his lips as he stepped forward, gently nudging the door wider. She moved back instinctively, allowing him in, then followed, closing the door behind them."It was good, actually," he replied, already reaching for the buttons of his shirt. Morvienne's hands lifted before he could do much, stopping his movements. "Let me," she said softly, a small smile on her lips.He didn't protest and her fingers worked steadily, unbuttoning his shirt as she looked up at him again. "So, was there anything found? Anything that could help?"Kael nodded once. "Yeah. We found a scent. Black orchid and Vanilla. A mix of both."Her fingers stilled. She li

    By the time Kael and Harlan rounded the corner, the black SUV was already waiting for them, engine humming low. The driver, one of his warriors, nodded once from behind the wheel as Kael approached.He got into the passenger seat, while Harlan took the back, and with that, they drove off, another car with few warriors in it, following right behind them. Trees loomed on either side, their branches arching overhead like a natural tunnel as they drove past. Harlan glanced at Kael once, then out the window, his fingers drumming a slow rhythm on his knee. He knew how triggering a topic like framing and betrayal was for Kael. It was one of the things he hated, and now it had come back. Soon, they hit the Nightwind border as full dusk settled, the sky a bruised purple with the sun's glow reduced to a thin line on the horizon. Headlights from both sides illuminated the meeting point: a cluster of five figures already waiting. Guards flanked an elder, their postured rigid but weapons lowere

    As soon as Morvienne finished dressing, slipping into a simple gown that hugged her recovering frame just enough to make her feel put-together, she turned to Kael with a quick nod. He held the door open for her, his hand brushing the small of her back as they stepped out together.Maids moved about their evening routines as they walked down the stairs, some carrying trays of food, others wiping down surfaces, and many more. Their eyes flicked to Kael first, respectful and quick, then lingered a beat longer on Morvienne, curiosity mixing with something else, probably approval.Morvienne caught one of the older maid's glance, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her mouth before the woman hurried on.Walking out through the main doors, the evening air greeted them like a gentle exhale. It was cool against her skin, carrying the scent she always craved for. Morvienne closed her eyes for a second, tilting her face up as a light breeze tugged at loose strands of her hair, lifting them

    The following days passed with Kael always by her side, his presence a constant, reassuring warmth in the quiet confines of his room. He hovered near her whenever she stirred, his strong hands always ready to support her elbow if she so much as shifted on the bed. When she reached for a glass of water, he'd beat her to it, lifting it to her lips with a steady grip, his eyes locking onto hers until she took a sip and nodded her thanks. And just like that, her belongings began to move into his space bit by bit, a pair of her slippers, a small vial of her favorite scent, her clothes, and many more. Kael wouldn't let her lift a finger for anything strenuous. Even meals became like intimate rituals where he would sit beside her on the bed, cutting fruits into bite-sized pieces and holding them to her mouth, watching her chew and also joining her to eat them as they talked about so many things. At night, his eyes would flutter open at the slightest hitch in her breath, his hand slidin

    Coming out of the bathroom and walking toward the bed, Kael's eyes sought Morvienne out immediately, locking onto her form nestled against the pillows, her chest rising and falling in a slow rhythm that eased the knot in his gut. He stopped and stood at a distance for some minutes, drinking in the sight of her—pale but peaceful, the earlier tears leaving only a subtle sheen on her cheeks."...Hope you're not crying anymore," he said calmly, walking to reach her. He paused at the bedside, his gaze tracing the delicate lines of her face with meticulous care, and lingering on the curve of her lips. His hand twitched at his side, as if resisting the urge to reach out just yet. "And if it hurts, tell me. I'll get the healer here immediately."Morvienne's head tilted ever so slightly on the pillow, a gentle shake that sent a loose strand tumbling across her forehead. Her lips curved into a small, tentative smile, the kind that lit her eyes with a spark of warmth despite the lingering fatig

    Forty-five minutes. She had forty-five minutes to execute her plan perfectly. The moment she opened the doors of the aquarium and the night air brushed against her face, something in her changed. It was subtle at first. Her shoulders slackened and she stepped forward slowly, almost like she

    Kael's eyes softened as he looked at her. "You... you look so effortlessly breathtaking," he said, his voice low and filled with adoration. "Like you completely took my breath away."Morvienne raised an eyebrow, now trying to keep her expression serious, forcing herself not to smile. "So... why a

    He led her away from the aquarium viewing area and as they walked, she realized they were heading into a completely different section of the building. This section was brighter, livelier, and full of movement and voices. It was like a small world of its own. There were different stalls lined up

    The man's eyes widened instantly, the fear in them raw. His breathing grew fast and shallow, chest rising and falling rapidly, then he started trembling uncontrollably. His whole body shook, from his shoulders to his hands, as if the very air around him had turned icy. Kael on the other hand, watc
