To change his heart

Alora waved at her parents and Venus from the carriage window, her heart heavy with the desire to extend her stay at home. However, duty called; she had to return to the palace because Alaric was scheduled to meet Scarlet's family today, and as members of the royal family, their presence was required too.

"Elliot will also be arriving shortly," Magnus informed her, his tone calm yet firm.

"He's leaving now?" Alora asked with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"Yes. It is important to send him to the training academy as soon as we can. Don't worry. Griffin will accompany him and make sure he gets settled there. I've made every arrangement for Elliot, so that he would not feel left out," Magnus explained. 

"Hmm. Thank you, Magnus, for taking care of everything." Alora didn't forget to express her gratitude toward him. 

"Don't mention it. I'm more than happy to handle these small matters for you," Magnus replied with a reassuring smile.
