After the family meeting, there were a few more things that Oriana and Arlan had to do.
They visited Aurialor, Oriana's kingdom that belonged to her grandfather and was now under her rule. She visited the duke who was taking care of it under her command and made sure the kingdom was doing well.
But there was something that still stung her heart.
"What are you thinking about?" Arlan came to stand beside her at the window where she was watching the beautiful starry sky, lost in her own thoughts.
She let out a shaky sigh. "I wish to go see my mother."
"We will very soon," he assured. "We will ask your father to take us there. He sealed that place, and only in his presence can we be there."
She nodded lightly. "I can only wait for him to come visit me, and then we can…."
