The Eldoria Quest

As the group returned to the castle, Sebastien took the lead in updating the queen about the events that transpired within the Veilstorm Tower. The queen listened attentively, her expression shifting from concern to relief as she absorbed the details.

"Your Majesty, we encountered treacherous illusions, faced the revelation of the dark mage's true identity, and ultimately prevailed against the malevolent forces," Sebastien explained, his words carrying the weight of the recent struggles.

Once the conversation concluded, the doors to the study swung open, revealing the king, who looked upon the unfamiliar faces with a mixture of confusion and concern.

"What just happened?" Leo scratched his head, exchanging puzzled glances with the others.

The queen turned to the king and recounted the perilous situation, explaining the presence of the group and their pivotal role in saving him.

"Thank you, Kael, Emily, Leo, and Orion, for your valor in saving my life," the king expressed his gratitude, a genuine tone in his voice.

Before they could make their exit, the doors swung open once more, revealing a woman whose presence added another layer to the unfolding drama. The woman, whom they later learned was named Isabella, rushed toward Sebastien, embracing him with genuine affection.

"Sebastien! I thought I'd lost you," Isabella exclaimed, relief evident in her voice.

Sebastien, visibly surprised by Isabella's sudden appearance, reciprocated the embrace, his confusion mingling with a sense of joy at her unexpected return.

Isabella, catching her breath, explained her ordeal of being confined to the northern tower, waking up in an unfamiliar room, and eventually finding her way to the main floor with where she found the head maid who helped her.

The queen, overjoyed at the reunion, expressed her happiness that Sebastien's fiancée was still alive, a revelation that left the rest of the group in a state of shock.

"Fiancée?" Emily raised an eyebrow, exchanging incredulous glances with Orion and Leo.
