Chapter 261: Aeliana

Caden's gaze softened as he turned to Lysara, offering her an opportunity that symbolized a fresh start and a new belonging. "Lysara, you're in a place now where you can redefine yourself. If you wish, you can choose a new name, something that signifies your new beginning here. Of course, this is only if you want to. And with Elara's agreement," he glanced at Elara, who nodded affirmatively, "we would be honored to officially adopt you into our family."

The room fell silent, all eyes on Lysara, who appeared visibly moved by the offer. She took a moment, her thoughts a whirlwind of emotion and contemplation. Finally, she looked up, a determined glint in her eyes.

"I... I would like that very much," she said, her voice steady but laced with emotion. "As for my name," she paused, considering, "I want to be called Aeliana."

"Aeliana," Caden repeated, savoring the sound of it. "It's a beautiful name."
