Francesca woke up early, the faint light of dawn just beginning to touch the sky. She moved gracefully through the quiet halls, ensuring everything was in order for their return journey to the Armand region. Deciding to check on her sons before they left, she headed to their room.
When she quietly opened the door, she paused in mild surprise at the sight before her.
Marcellus was hugging Lithia tightly, while Lithia clung to him just as affectionately, both looking peaceful in their sleep. On the other side, Cedric had Meira sprawled on top of him, her arms draped over his chest. Cedric's expression was unusually calm, as if he enjoyed the warmth.
Francesca couldn't help but smile, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Oh my... what do we have here?" she murmured softly, her tone a mix of teasing and affection. "How adorable..."
Turning slightly, she called out in a calm but commanding voice, "Erisa."
