Reeve's heart had warmed at the sight, knowing that the contents of the message were of immense significance.
With a chuckle and a glint of excitement in his eyes, Ragnar had turned to Reeve, his voice filled with anticipation.
"I'm going to be a father, my friend. Lady Sophia is expecting twins."
Reeve had clapped Ragnar on the back, his own happiness for his friend overflowing.
In that shared moment, they exchanged smiles, and Reeve realized that this joyous news would forever strengthen their bond.
The memory of Ragnar's elation was now a poignant reminder of what Reeve and Ragnar were racing against time to protect—the safety and well-being of Lorian, the heir to Gamaaloth Kingdom, and his twin sister, Anara.
