We truly appreciate your understanding and support!When the meeting ended, Lissana returned with her mother, and Alessandro asked, "Is that what you wanted?" "The war is over, but you probably still have some monsters lurking on Vaizel's mounts. Each kingdom will leave it to a few men to finish the cleanup." "Does that mean everyone goes to Iran?" "Some will start their return trip today; others will travel tomorrow morning." "And what will we do?" "We will return to the house." "Aunt Maya is coming back today. I believe she should wait for us?" "Traveling with a full army is much slower than doing it separately.If your desire is to be ready, it will be better than going alone." "I see." "You can go back with them if you want." "No, I'm with you. We'll go home together." Abril hugged Lissana and said, "Thank you for being my friend." Lissana smiled at her mother, then went out to find Tarik. She wanted to say goodbye to him before he left. He was near his store, and when she saw him approaching, she hurried to meet him. "Do you know when you're going?" Tarik nodded."The queen had to leave today; the rest of us will leave tomorrow." "We will also go tomorrow." "I suppose I missed the chance to say goodbye." "I'll keep writing to you." "I will too." "I'll blow you away." A tear rolled down Lissana's cheek. Just days ago, she had to part from her priest, and now she would have to say goodbye to Tarik, who held a special place in her heart.Tarik wiped her tears away with his thumb and said, "I will always carry you in my heart and wait patiently until we see each other again." "Tarik..." "If you told me it wouldn't happen, I'd still promise you this: I'll wait for you. I'm a fairy, and you know my words are true because I can't lie." "I know what I believe." The priests called for Tarik, and Lissana waved to them from a distance, knowing this was the moment to part. "Do you think we can see each other before you leave?" "I hope so, but if we don't, never forget that I'll be waiting for you." "I won't forget.I could never forget you." Tarik's priests called him again. He wished to give Lissana a kiss before saying goodbye, but he knew that would only cause problems, so he held back. Instead, he took her hand and said, "It's time, Lissana." "Ready," she replied. Lissana found herself staring as Tarik lingered, and when she could no longer see him, she returned to the store with her mother. Fay had taken Tarik to the store where he was established. He gazed at his wife for a long moment before finally speaking."Tarik, you know you shouldn't be with Lissana." Naiana intervened, saying, "Careful, Tarik was just saying goodbye to his friend. Don't be so hard on him." "The more time we spend together, the harder it will be to separate. I've told you this many times, Tarik." Tarik understood, but he preferred this pain to the regret of never having said goodbye. "That's true, Father, but I'd rather say goodbye properly for her and feel the pain of parting than regret it for the rest of my life. To me, that would be even worse." Naiana hugged her daughter, something Tarik found uncomfortable.She had always treated him like a child, even though he felt he had outgrown that role. At fourteen, he must have looked like a baby in his mother's eyes. "You're right, my son, but you're only causing more pain." "Naiana." "What?! That's the truth, and you know it." Naiana fixed her gaze on Fay, as if to say, "If you say something, you'll regret it." Fay knew that irritating his wife was not a good idea, so he remained silent, focusing instead on organizing the soldiers under his command. Tarik looked at his mother and said, "Thanks, Mama." "You, Father, don't want to see her hurt.noveldramaThat's why you're acting this way. Don't take my words the wrong way." "I know." "You and Lissana live in different worlds. Each of you is a hereditary prince of your kingdom. It's a bit complicated for you to be together, even though I don't believe it's impossible." "Is it true? Do you believe it? Everyone tells me it's impossible, that I shouldn't set my sights on her." "Though it's not impossible, it won't be easy either.If you choose to be with her, you must be prepared for the obstacles that lie ahead." Naiana placed her hand on her husband's shoulder and continued, "At first, tasks always seem impossible. But when you laugh in the face of them, they become less daunting. The only impossibility in our lives is what we impose on ourselves." "I don't think Daddy understands what you're saying." "I don't think he does either, but we'll keep this conversation a secret." Barto appeared in the part of the camp where the army of the elven kingdom was stationed. He wanted to speak to Queen Enora before she left.He needed to decide if he was truly in love with his wife. He didn't want to be just her lover; he wanted a serious relationship with her, but he knew they were still hiding their connection from the elven realms, and that could never last. Dantriel approached him and asked, "Do you need something?" "I wanted to talk to your queen." "My queen is tired; she won't welcome you." "Tell her I'm her daughter's friend. If she hears that, I'm sure she'll see me." "If I say so, you'll be leaving this camp, boy. It's best you go and keep this to yourself." "I won't. I won't hide.If this is my last chance to speak with the elven queen, I won't lose it out of fear." "Are you not afraid of losing your life?" "I'm more afraid of losing the woman I love. That would be the same as her death." "Knowing that won't change anything. You should take a half-hearted trip and return to where you came from." "If you don't let me see your queen, I'll fight to reach her." Dantriel could see that there was no doubt in him. If he didn't allow him to see Enora, he would create a scene that would surely attract her attention. Dantriel had no choice but to accept the request."Fine, I'll announce you, but if she doesn't accept you, I hope you can leave without causing any trouble." "If she doesn't accept me, I will respect her decision. I won't insist further and won't cause any problems."
