King Jaren, King Corvus, Crown Princess Pica, Mana, Raven and Rook – all of them watched anxiously as Imperial Physician Kale and Junior Imperial Physician Vale examined General Aquila once again.
"Clean bill of health," Imperial Physician Kale announced. "You can do whatever you want to – just don't stray too far from Prince Raven and Princess Mana, as I said before."
General Aquila nodded obediently.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Raven, who had been rather nervous until now, relaxed visibly, and Mana rubbed his arm with gentle fingers.
"Mana and Raven really get along quite well, don't they?" General Aquila commented, watching the two children. He'd noticed how close Mana and Raven were, and how they implicitly trusted and covered for each other. It was quite unusual for someone their age, to be honest.
"Indeed," King Corvus said.
"Are they soulmates?" General Aquila asked. "It seems to me that they are."
