Sons of a devil-Chapter 106: Royal announcement
Chapter 106 - Royal announcement
The air in the royal palace was crisp, the evening sky casting a soft golden hue over the sprawling gardens. Inside the grand dining hall, King Cedric and Queen Isolde walked side by side, greeting their subjects with grace and warmth. The tension that had once hung heavy in the kingdom seemed to have melted away, replaced with an aura of calm serenity. It had been a long time since the kingdom had felt at peace, and now, for the first time in years, it seemed like the future was bright.
As they made their way through the crowd, the nobles and commoners alike cheered in excitement, their eyes shining with admiration for the royal couple. They had fought hard for the throne and now ruled with a wisdom forged in battle and sacrifice. King Cedric and Queen Isolde were no longer just rulers—they were symbols of hope for the people. The people had seen them endure unimaginable hardships and come out stronger, and now, they celebrated the peace they had fought so hard to secure.
Selene and Cain walked behind them, holding hands as they followed their parents, occasionally pausing to speak with the subjects. The people adored them, just as they had adored their parents, and as Selene looked around, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. This was her home now. This was where her future would unfold, where she and Cain would build their own legacy. It had not been an easy road, but they had made it here, together.
After a while, the king and queen led them toward the large open courtyard where the grand feast would take place. The tables were laden with food—roast meats, fresh fruits, and pastries that seemed to glisten in the light of the lanterns. The sounds of laughter and music filled the air as the royal family settled into their seats, joined by the other key figures of the kingdom.
Cain stood to address the gathering, his voice filled with confidence and pride. "As we stand here today, we are not just a kingdom bound by blood—we are a family united by love and sacrifice," he began, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "The battles we've fought, the struggles we've overcome, have led us to this moment. And now, it's time to look toward the future."

He paused for a moment, feeling Selene's hand squeeze his gently. She stood beside him, her eyes soft and filled with warmth as she gazed out at the crowd.
"The future, my friends," Cain continued, "is about to change. I'm proud to announce that Selene and I are expecting a child."
A cheer rose up from the crowd, followed by a wave of applause. Cain looked at Selene, his heart swelling with emotion, before turning back to the people.
"We know that the road ahead will not always be easy," he said, his voice filled with determination, "but together, we will face it. This child will carry our legacy forward, and they will know the love of this kingdom."
Selene smiled, her hand resting on her growing belly. "We promise to raise them with all the love we have for each other, and for this kingdom. Thank you all for being part of this journey with us."
The people cheered again, their excitement palpable as they celebrated the news. The sense of community, of shared joy, was overwhelming. For once, the royal family could bask in the glow of happiness, without the looming shadow of war.
After the announcement, the atmosphere shifted from one of formal ceremony to one of celebration. Cain and Selene made their way to a quieter corner of the courtyard, where they could share a moment together. They had so much to be grateful for, and in this quiet moment, they were reminded of just how far they had come. The chaos that had once been their life felt like a distant memory.
Meanwhile, across the courtyard, Eira and Eren were lost in their own world. Eira, the mischievous one, had always been the more playful of the two, but there was something in Eren's eyes—a quiet intensity—that drew her in. Their bond had always been deep, built on shared experiences and an understanding of one another. But today, there was something more. Eira leaned in, her lips brushing against Eren's as the weight of the moment seemed to pause around them. It was tender, a kiss that spoke volumes more than words ever could.
Eren pulled her close, his hands resting gently on her waist as he deepened the kiss. There was no more fear, no more uncertainty. They had been through too much to let anything come between them. In that kiss, they found comfort, love, and the promise of a future that would be different from the past.
As they pulled away, Eira rested her forehead against Eren's. "I'm glad we made it here," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "I'm glad we're together."
Eren smiled softly, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. "Me too, Eira. Me too."
Elsewhere in the garden, Leo and Zara wandered along the path, hand in hand. The young couple had grown close over the past few months, their connection solidifying amidst the chaos of their battles. Leo, ever the playful and outgoing brother, had found a calm in Zara's presence, a grounding force that made him feel more whole.
Zara, with her dark hair and piercing green eyes, looked at Leo with a soft smile. She had always admired his strength and the way he carried himself, even when the weight of the world seemed to rest on his shoulders. And in return, Leo found comfort in Zara's steady confidence, the way she could speak with such calm conviction.
They stopped by a fountain, the sound of the water adding a peaceful ambiance to the evening. Leo leaned against the stone edge, his eyes locked with hers. "You know, I've been thinking," he said, his voice low and earnest. "If we can make it through everything we've been through, then we can make it through anything. Together."
Zara's smile widened, and she took a step closer to him, resting her hand on his chest. "I don't need to think, Leo. I already know we can."
The sincerity in her words made Leo's heart swell with emotion. He had never known love like this, not the kind that had driven him through battles or the kind that had come with victories. This was the kind of love that made every moment feel worthwhile. And for the first time, he felt truly at peace, knowing he had someone who would stand by him no matter what.
As the night carried on, the royal family continued to mingle with their subjects, the joyous celebration reflecting the peace they had fought so hard for. But for Cain and Selene, Eira and Eren, Leo and Zara, it was more than just a celebration. It was a reminder of everything they had been through, and everything they had to look forward to. And as they looked toward the future, the world seemed full of infinite possibilities.
