A lonely love....

[+10 AP]

Returning to Aria's house, Aether and Aria sat before Kaelith. The room was filled with unspoken tension, Kaelith's gaze deeply assessing Aether before turning to his daughter.

"I know I have no right to say this, but you have found a wonderful partner, my daughter," Kaelith said, his voice tinged with a mix of pride and resignation.

Aria simply smiled and nodded, her eyes shining with both happiness and relief.

Kaelith's smile was gentle yet laced with sadness, "Please take care of my daughter, and may you have a wonderful life together," he said with a heavy heart, knowing this moment marked a significant change. With that, he turned and left the room.

That's right he left!

Aether watched him leave, his frown deepening. 'Just like that?' he thought, puzzled.
