"No," Islinda reiterated.

"Yes," Milo persisted, his determination unwavering.

"You choose Gabi, that means I’m coming along too. Moreover, she said she’d take care of me since you’re so worried," Milo insisted, his determination shining through his words.

"Gabi is not your babysitter, and Aldric’s castle is no place for babies," Islinda countered firmly, unwilling to budge on her decision.

So Islinda and Milo argued back and forth, the tension mounting as they each stood their ground. Despite Islinda’s concerns, the boy was stubborn and made a compelling argument. Milo reasoned that it was better to serve Islinda than to be out on the streets, resorting to desperate measures just to survive.

Resignedly, Islinda had no choice but to let them do whatever they wanted. They would probably shiver in fear and give up once they saw the dark Fae prince. Moreover, Aldric wasn’t going to let them step a foot into his castle anyway, so they could go on with their hopes high.

Islinda spent the rest of the day in Gabi’s company, the two of them discussing their plans and preparing for the challenges ahead. Meanwhile, Milo eventually grew bored and sought out Valerie, eager to associate with the kind, crown prince of Astaria. To Milo, aside from Islinda, Valerie was practically a hero, and he hung around him with admiration shining in his eyes.

A hero that couldn’t better the living condition of Haven’s Reach even though he had the power.

One good thing about Gabi’s company was that it limited Islinda’s interactions with Valerie, especially after their awkward encounter. With Gabi and Milo around, Islinda’s focus shifted to preparing for her return to Aldric’s palace, and the need to ensure Gabi and Milo remained safe on the property until then. Their presence served as a buffer, keeping Islinda occupied and minimizing any potential discomfort or tension between her and Valerie.

As late afternoon descended, Islinda and Gabi were still engrossed in conversation when Valerie entered the room, interrupting their girl time together. Both women glanced up at him, curiosity evident in their expressions. Islinda was on the verge of asking what he needed when Valerie interjected, "You have a visitor, Islinda," catching her off guard with his announcement.

Islinda’s brows furrowed in confusion when Valerie mentioned a visitor, wondering whom he had invited this time. She mentally sifted through her recent interactions, trying to recall if she had inadvertently neglected anyone. Despite her efforts, she couldn’t conjure up a face beyond Gabi and Milo, whom she had associated with the previous day. Aware of Valerie’s penchant for surprising her with unexpected guests, Islinda tempered her expectations.

"Tell me who it is?" Islinda pressed Valerie, unable to contain her curiosity any longer.
