Messy, mate bond...

Lucius POV

There was another pause on the other end before Noah's voice came on strong.

"I should be there with her, Lucius," his voice caught in his throat "I should have been there. She needs me and I'm here…".

"Your Majesty, the Luna is fine. I'm sure and I promise she's been taken care of. By tomorrow, she'll be home with you and you don't have to worry. For tonight, you need to look after the Kingdom and let us look after our Luna. Please,".

After a while, he chuckled dryly "You're right," he said, "I'll be here, let me know if there's any other news,".

After the call ended, I took a deep breath, looking up to the sky filled with stars. It was going to be a long night indeed. Moving towards the soldiers who had a big fire going on, I cleared my throat to get their attention.
