"I wish we had more time to talk…" Xenia regretfully sighed.
After all was said and done, the day that Xenia and her mate had to leave finally arrived. Her reunion with her sister Mineah felt far too short-lived for her liking as they went back to the harbor. King Nikolai had accompanied them all the way to port, having seemingly gone to send them off.
"I do too, Sister," Mineah sadly sighed. "Unfortunately, we all have our parts to play in the wider scheme of things."
"That we do," Xenia chuckled as she gave her Mineah the warmest smile she could muster. "I suppose there's still next time, whenever that might be."
"I'll be sure to be there at your wedding ceremony, Sister. That, I promise," Mineah radiantly smiled. "And I'm sure we'll see our brother Ezekiel safe and sound by that point."
"We can only hope, Sister," Xenia nodded.
