After what felt like an eternity, Orion's mother stopped hugging him and looked at his face.
"Don't cry, my son."
She wiped the tears out of his face and looked at him lovingly.
Orion felt like he was the most blessed person in the world right now and he wanted to feel like that forever.
"Look at you; you have become a fine young man."
His mother checked and rubbed his face all over.
Orion just smiled at her in response. However, at that moment, his eye caught sight of a shadow peeking at them from the huge door leading into the palace.
A wide smile appeared on his face, recognising that figure because that figure belonged to none other than his cute little sister.
"Ella, come here."
He shouted, looking at her.
His mother also looked back and saw that her youngest daughter was peeking at them through the gate.
Ella, when she heard Orion call her name, came running to her mother and hid behind her.
