Elara stepped forward, her eyes still glistening with emotion. She held a small, intricately wrapped box in her hands. "Cain," she began, her voice trembling slightly. "This is a small gift from me. It's not much, but it's something I've been working on for a while."

Cain took the box and opened it to reveal a beautifully crafted pendant shaped like the royal crest—the golden phoenix. The craftsmanship was exquisite, and Cain could tell how much effort Elara had put into it.

"Elara, this is incredible," Cain said, his voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you. I'll treasure it always."

Elara blushed, her heart swelling with happiness. "I'm just glad you like it."

Anya also stepped forward, her eyes filled with happiness. She held a wrapped box in her hands.
