Theron watched intently as Elias stood frozen, his eyes wide with disbelief, staring at the man he hadn't seen in so long. Viscount Alden moved closer, his gaze was soft and filled with emotion as he looked at his son.
As Alden stared at his son, he years of separation, the battles fought, and the sacrifices he made, all came back to his mind. He couldn't help but be emotional to it.
"Father…" Elias's voice was choked with emotion as he saw his father standing before him, alive and well. His hands trembled slightly as he struggled to find the words to express his feelings.
Viscount Alden reached out, gently placing a hand on Elias's shoulder. "It's been too long, Elias… How are you? " he questioned, his voice firm yet tender. There was a moment of silence before Elias suddenly surged forward, wrapping his arms around his father in a tight embrace.
