章 197: It's time to crown you

Standing at the altar, my heart raced as I looked into Zephara's eyes. The world seemed to fall away, leaving just the two of us in this moment of profound connection. The elder's voice was a gentle murmur, guiding us through the ceremony.

"Leora," Zephara began, her voice steady but filled with emotion. "From the moment I first met you, my life changed in ways I never imagined. I remember that day vividly. I was preparing to lay waste to a human castle, driven by anger and duty. But then I smelled something incredible – a scent that stopped me in my tracks. And I saw you with your corndog . The food you made was the greatest I had ever tasted, and it captivated me in a way nothing else ever had. Even then, without fully understanding it, I think I already loved you."
