As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Tahira felt a sense of completeness that she had never felt before. She had always known that her mother was a strong and powerful queen, but now she saw her as something more - a loving and devoted parent.
The queen pulled back, her eyes still shining with tears. "We have a lot to catch up on, Tahira," she said. "But first, we need to focus on stopping Laurent and Lady Ophelia. We can't let them destroy our kingdom and our people."
Tahira nodded, her mind already racing with plans and strategies. "I agree, Mother," she said. "We need to act quickly and decisively. But I'm glad we had this moment together. It gives me the strength and courage to keep fighting."
The queen smiled, her eyes warm with love and pride. "You've always had the strength and courage, Tahira," she said. "I'm just glad I could be here to see it for myself."
