CHAPTER 51
"Even if I lose Era, I would still leave a beacon of hope." As soon as he said that, he looked in the direction behind the curtains. "Morgan!"
"Your majesty." A young boy came out from the door behind the curtain and bowed befpre Elrad.
"Take her away, now."
Emerald looked at the boy in question and then back at Elrad. She could see the pain etched deep in his iris. She knew this was hard for him as well. Even though she knew it was te best and right thing to do, she found it hard to let go.
Finding the courage left in her, Emerald held her daughter close, hugging her for the very last time.
"Eleora, darling."
"Yes, mother."
"I love you and your father loves you too."
"Mum, I am scared."
"I know, but remember, I am here with you in your heart and so is your father. You need to go see big sister Era now. Father and I would catch up. Go with Morgan and respect him, okay?"
