A couple of days passed, and the once-battleground between Elais and Irason now saw the transformative effects of a newfound peace. The news of the kings putting aside their differences had spread like wildfire, and the citizens and nobles were adjusting to the abrupt shift in their reality.
In the capital cities of both kingdoms, banners of unity adorned the streets. There were still remnants of skepticism among the people, especially those who had lost loved ones in the prolonged conflict. However, the kings addressed their subjects, laying bare the truth about Avargan's manipulation and the need for solidarity to bring him to justice.
The citizens, yearning for peace, began to rebuild the bridges of trust that had been burned over decades of hostility. Markets flourished as merchants from both kingdoms set up stalls side by side, exchanging goods and stories. Families who had once lived in fear of the other side now met in the streets, sharing smiles and forging connections.
