Departure

A week had passed since Azrael's heartwarming experience in the drawing room.

Rohan and Sevastian had informed the king that they would be returning to Luminae the next day. Rohan was set on settling matters with his father, formally declining the throne that was meant to be his. Sevastian, on the other hand, was determined to face the man who despised him, to tell him, without hesitation, that he was going to marry Lyra.

No one knew what awaited them in Luminae. The return had already been delayed far longer than it should have, and time had finally run out.
