Chapter 236: GCC Council

Caden gathered Elara and Solan into a warm, familial hug, the joy of their shared news still fresh and vibrant. He then turned to Solan with a gentle, fatherly tone. "Keep an eye on your mother for me, will you? I have to head to Telarion for the first meeting of the Galactic Concord Council."

After releasing them from the embrace, Caden leaned in to give Elara a tender kiss. "I love you both," he said, his voice filled with affection.

Elara smiled, touching his arm reassuringly. "We'll be fine here. Good luck at the meeting, Caden."

With a final nod to Solan, Caden left the room, pulling up his data slate as he walked. He sent a quick message to Valara, inquiring if she wanted to join him on the Sovereign for the trip to Telarion. Soon after, a response came through – a simple 'yes' from Valara.
