Chapter 269: Unity
As twilight deepened into night, Caden and Elara remained on the balcony, basking in the quiet comfort of each other's presence. The palace gardens, illuminated by soft lights, created a serene and magical atmosphere. The gentle rustling of leaves and the distant sound of water from a fountain added to the peaceful ambiance.
Eventually, Elara broke the silence. "You know, Caden, with all the changes happening around us, with the council, the new threats, and our expanding family, I can't help but feel a sense of... anticipation. It's as if we're on the cusp of a new era."
Caden nodded, his gaze following a shooting star as it streaked across the night sky. "I feel it too. There's a shift happening, not just politically, but in the very fabric of our reality. It's daunting, but also exhilarating."
