Jacob blinked in surprise, genuinely impressed. "An elixir from the princess? Why would you go to such lengths to save me?"
Althea's lips curved into a small, knowing smile. "You're special, Jacob. There's something within you—something powerful—that I sensed from the moment we first met. I knew you were worth saving."
Jacob's curiosity deepened at her words, but before he could delve into it, Althea leaned forward slightly, her eyes intent. "We've already heard from Seraphina and Elara about what happened at the temple, but we need to hear your account as well. Every detail is crucial."
