Chapter 301: Leave the house
King Esmond patted his sons’ back while smiling heartily. His gaze then shifted to Alora, who stood beside Queen Margaret with a gentle smile on her lips.
"Alora has proved herself once again to be a blessing for all of us. Ask anything of me, Alora, and I’ll grant your request," King Esmond declared, his voice filled with pride and happiness.
Everyone in the room turned to look at Alora with anticipation. Some of them already had an inkling of what her response might be, given her selfless nature.
"I have everything I need, Your Majesty. I have nothing more to ask," Alora answered with sincerity.
Queen Margaret placed a hand lovingly on Alora’s head, her eyes filled with affection and gratitude. "You have eased all our worries. Think hard, dear. Perhaps, you’ll find something that you need," she encouraged gently.
"Royal Mother, I need not to think. You all have accepted me into this family. That’s all I ever wanted," Alora pronounced, her voice filled with genuine contentment and gratitude.
King Esmond’s eyes softened as he regarded Alora. "Your heart is truly pure, Alora. Your humility and grace are a gift to this family," he stated.
"Father, I want something on Alora’s behalf," Magnus said, bringing everyone’s eyes on him. Alora confusedly looked at him, wondering what he would possibly ask.
"What is it, Magnus?" King Esmond inquired, his lips still carrying a smile.
