Chapter 21: Aurelia’s Dedication

The sun rose brightly over the kingdom of Belthoria as King Thorian prepared for an important event. One of his cabinet members, Lord Roderick, was celebrating the dedication of his newborn child. The King, alongside Queen Seraphina, was to attend. However, Thorian had also extended a personal invitation to Alina and Lyra, hoping to see them amidst the day's festivities.

The church bells tolled, summoning the congregation. The grand cathedral was filled with the nobility and high-ranking officials of the kingdom, their vibrant attire adding color to the sacred space. Thorian and Seraphina arrived in a grand carriage, surrounded by an entourage of guards. As they entered, all eyes were on them, especially Queen Seraphina, who wore a gown of deep emerald green, her presence regal and imposing.
