Night fell over the city.
Lanterns swayed, casting soft shadows over the courtyard..
Kaelen sat on the steps, watching his disciples rest, aura glowing faintly in the soft moonlight.
Lady Mirelle appeared beside him, her presence warm and comforting.
She leaned lightly against him, brushing her aura softly against his.

"You've guided them… but you also know when to step back," she whispered. "I admire that."
Kaelen smiled faintly. "Balance… patience… that is how true strength is forged. And that includes bonds like ours."
She pressed closer, letting him adjust her aura with gentle hands.
Their lips brushed softly in a lingering, intimate gesture.
Not crude, but meaningful—an affirmation of trust, desire, and quiet connection.

Kaelen exhaled slowly, looking at the stars above.
Patience, guidance, strategy, and love… This was the foundation of his growing legacy.
The night was silent, the city calm, and for a moment, Kaelen allowed himself to simply be—a teacher, a strategist, and a lover.
