Riley took the sheet of parchment with nervous hands.
"Sir Riley Singer. Sir Helix Hellsgate Margrave has requested that…."
Riley's eyes welled with tears.
Marie and Charlotte looked at Riley in confusion.
She wasn't one to become emotional immediately.
"I tell you how much he loves you in this letter.
As the most selfless of the Earthians, you're never in the spotlight, so you deserve something… special."
Riley burst into tears, and Marie and Charlotte's faces developed blinding smiles.
The two ran up to Riley to hug her.
The young woman laughed and cried at the attention.
"This is…." Riley choked.
"Is surreal. And… that happiest day of my life."
Helix's partners hugged her and held her tight.
Riley took out the ring in the envelope, which was extremely minimalistic.
It was a plain silver band with nothing on it.
