Satisfied, Roxanna turned with renewed energy. "I'll inform my husbands so we can prepare to return to the Vixeria Tribe as soon as possible."
Before Elior could respond, Roxanna had already dashed out of the cave. Aelin, meanwhile, rushed toward Elior.
Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms tightly around him. "Brother, you're the best!" she said, her voice glowing with happiness. "I love you. I really, really do!"
Elior lifted a hand and gently patted her back, but his face remained painfully serious. "Come back safely, Aelin."
Outside the cave, Roxanna suddenly leapt forward and wrapped her arms around her husbands from behind.
She couldn't even contain her excitement. "I did it!" she said, giggling, her voice bubbling with victory. "I finally convinced Leader Elior to let one of their great healers come with us!"
Luan was the first to turn toward her. "Really?!" His emerald eyes looked at her with hope and surprise. "So… they're finally willing to help Calen directly?"
