William opened his eyes slowly, feeling the warmth of Myre's thighs and Mia's embrace surrounding him. With a soft smile, he looked up at Myre, who was watching him with a playful glint in her eyes, and then glanced over to Mia, whose calm expression hid her shyness.
"It's so good to be back with both of you," he murmured, his voice filled with relief. "The Parallel World is… intense, and nothing compares to coming back to this."
Myre's hand gently stroked his hair as she chuckled, "Seems like our young prince has grown even more since his time away. I barely recognize you." She gave his cheek a light pinch, adding, "And your strength, I can feel it's developed even further."
Mia nodded approvingly, a hint of pride in her gaze. "You did well, my lord. Surviving a whole cycle in that place is no small feat." Her voice softened as she added, "Your family has been waiting, but… so have we. You've been on our minds every day."
