After a while, Lydia extended her hands, and the magical bounds that once restrained her fell away. She quickly reached out to Mia, offering assistance. "Let me help you," Lydia said, her hand extended. Mia accepted the gesture, rising to her feet. A slight pain throbbed on the right side of her head as she instinctively touched the spot.
"You'll be fine. Follow me; I'll get you something for your headache," Lydia reassured, a subtle smile gracing her lips.
Exiting the room, they entered the king's chamber, where King Alexandria was seated at the dining table. Lydia confidently addressed him, "My king, I've brought you your wife." Mia followed behind, observing the unexpected encounter unfold.
Alexandria nearly choked on his meal, his eyes widening in surprise. "Wife!" he exclaimed, clearly caught off guard.
"Yes, Your Highness, she is your queen, and she's feeling a bit sick," Lydia informed with a knowing smile.
