As the five dragon riders were escorted to their chambers by the servants, Queen Lerya led her two sons into the castle. "Is everything prepared?" she inquired of Prince Raiver. The prince responded with a gentle smile, expressing gratitude for his mother's years of support.
Though the queen smiled in return, a sense of satisfaction mingled with sadness as she watched her son prepare to marry and leave her side. "She is a good girl - treasure her," she advised Prince Raiver. "Protect her with all your might."
Turning to the crown prince, Lerya couldn't resist teasing him about his own impending nuptials. "And when will you be visiting your wife?" she chided, playfully smacking him on the head. All three shared a good-natured laugh, the summer breeze adding to the festive atmosphere as the wedding ceremony approached.
