Bab 121: His Condition

Eric returned to the knights' quarters, his face illuminated by a triumphant smile, Rafe faithfully by his side. The atmosphere in the lounge crackled with anticipation as the rest of the men anxiously awaited news of their recent endeavour. 

However, Drystan and Alex had already sought solace in slumber, embracing the respite their weary bodies craved after the long punishment.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Eli sprang to his feet as he saw the duo entering, his eyes fixed on Eric. 

"How did it go?" he inquired eagerly, his enthusiasm contagious.

Eric's smile grew wider, an aura of accomplishment surrounding him. 

"The mission is complete. They have reconciled!" he declared, his voice brimming with satisfaction.

"Thank goodness, you did it!" Luke sighed in relief.

"Yes. It was a great success! They have found common ground, and, more importantly, she has confessed her feelings to him," added the second-in-command knight.
