The banquet had finally come to an end, and the palace grounds fell into a hushed stillness, with only the faint glow of moonlight illuminating the grand courtyards. Kaelix and Eirik slipped away from the festivities, seeking solace in the quiet of the night.
They found themselves at the edge of the lake in the palace ground, a serene spot hidden away from prying eyes.
The moonlight glistened on the water's surface, casting silver ripples that danced with every soft breeze.
Eirik's eyes traced the familiar outline of the lake, lost in thought.
He could still remember the day Kaelix had caught him here, tangled in an intimate moment with Sadiki.
It felt like a lifetime ago, yet that unexpected encounter had marked the beginning of something far deeper between him and Kaelix.
