For My Son

Unable to get any more information on Dante's condition pained Laina. But she did not let that stop her from fulfilling her promise to him. She was going to find a way to get to the Celestial Realm, even if it killed her. 

She dove headfirst into her royal duties while continuing to source for more Sunfire jade and other gemstones that resonated with her. She even went straight to the mines to look for what she needed. 

Margaret, on the other hand, attempted to contact Marius. She has not been able to speak to him since he left with Dante. 

That changed when Marius appeared before her one fine evening. Laina was having dinner in her private quarters when he appeared on the balcony. Margaret was the first to sense him. 

"Marius? Marius!" she dropped what was in her hands and ran up to him, kissing him on the lips as soon as she entered his embrace. 

"Margaret," her name left his lips before they continued their passionate kiss.
