The next morning...
Aurora, Syra, Sia, and Elisa flew over the sea of flower petals where the palace stood, their eyes fixed on Leon and Elina, whose bodies had returned to normal.
The fairies followed behind them, casting reluctant glances at Leon and Elina.
"Then Elina and I will go first," Leon said softly, offering a faint smile.
Aurora gave a slow nod. "Alright. Thank you for saving me… and for granting my wish to live in my palace. I hope we'll meet again."
"Of course." Leon chuckled gently.
At that moment, Elisa could no longer hide her anxiety. In a sad tone, she asked, "Will we meet again, Fated One?"
Though they hadn't known each other long, Elisa felt drawn to Leon. She wished she had more time with him.
But Leon had only stayed a single day at the palace, without even a proper chance to talk with her. It left her feeling both disappointed and powerless.
