“-that's the only thing I could do, because I could never give you more”, Rydan continued, low enough to be heard only by her.
Elleryn nods her head, before answering in the same low voice intended only for him to hear.
“I know,” Elleryn takes a glance to her side and smiles up at him.
“because I could never ask for more,” she said.

The marriage between the Daughter of Qye and Crown Prince of Suttern needs to be fulfilled. It was all part of the deal the two countries had made a long time ago, in order for Qye to be saved from any possible threat of war, Suttern gained permission to keep the strongest creature under their shelter. The first daughter in each generation of Qye.
Love is not expected between the two. Especially, because the Crown Prince will have to find his mate someday.
But a heart is not something a Crown Prince could control.

The Daughter of Qye

Ezana stares at her sister the moment she steps out of her room, her clear eyes seem inspecting both of them closely before she comes closer, Elleryn’s face lightens up after noticing her, crouching down she hugs Ezana's body tightly, making her struggle for breath. 


"I miss you," Elleryn breathed in and whispered right beside her ear, she giggled as she struggled to tighten her tiny arm around her sister's neck. Her eyes unconsciously catch the smile that sends her way, her brother-in-law stares down at her warmly with never before seen smile etched on his lips. 


She smiles up at him, "did you just make babies?" she asked, eyes blinking with curiosity. Elleryn's eyes widened upon hearing that statement, blush creeping up on both of her cheeks, while Rydan laughed out loud the minute that word reached his ear. Elleryn immediately looks up and finds Kyzen scratching his head and smiling weirdly.
