Third-person POV:
By the time Laila arrived at 10 p.m. that night, William’s family had already gone to bed.

Everyone felt confused when Laila dragged them out of sleep in the middle of the night. But the person standing at the door was Laila, the fiancée of Prince Vance and daughter of General Sonlay. Her status alone opened every door.
Soon the whole household was awake. Lamps were lit. Coats were thrown on. Servants hurried to pour water as everyone crowded into the living room.
Laila stood in the center of the room and looked around. Sara was not there.
“I have urgent business with Mrs. Arnold,” she said. “Please have her bring some clothes and travel with me to Aurilles immediately.”
The room fell silent.
Auriltes? That place was far away.
William’s older brother, Darell Arnold, spoke first. His tone stayed polite, but his brows were already tightly drawn together. “Duchess Conlay, Sara rarely leaves home. And this is so sudden, especially this late at night. Did something happen? If it doesn’t absolutely have to be her, could I go instead?”
“Yeah,” another family member added nervously. “And it’s really late.”
Laila did not let them-finish.
“Do it now,” she said, her voice dropping slightly, carrying the pressure unique to an alpha. “Send someone to bring her here and help her pack. Once you do that, I’ll explain everything.”
Darell’s heart tightened under her gaze.
He stopped asking questions and ordered one of the older housemaids to bring Sara here and help her prepare for the trip.
Laila remained where she was and explained calmly, “Prince Vance went to Simonne Town and Ovila to negotiate over a scout named Cottontail. He was one of our scouts who escaped after being captured during the Vagen War. All this time, he had been secretly sending intelligence back to our army. But not long ago, he was caught again. Ovila planned to trade him for Simonne Town.”
By the time she reached this point, everyone in the room was already breathing harder, waiting anxiously for her to continue.
“So King Vaughn sent Prince Vance to Simonne Town. Publicly, it was a negotiation. Secretly, it was a rescue mission. Cottontail has now been rescued and brought back to Simonne Town.” Laila paused briefly before saying the next words. “His identity has been confirmed. He is General Arnold. His injuries are very serious. Prince Vance sent an urgent message requesting Rowan and Mrs. Arnold to come immediately. We leave tonight. There’s no time to delay.”
The room instantly erupted into chaos. “Oh my God!” William’s mother trembled from head to toe. She interpreted the news differently. Her son was still alive, but barely. Her heart ached for him. “I’m going too,” she cried, tears pouring down her face.
Darell quickly held onto her shoulders. “Mother, you shouldn’t go. I’ll go instead. I’ll accompany Sara.”

this voice was choking with emotion.
“I’m going too.” William’s father spoke with a trembling voice. He was smiling, but his eyes were filled with tears. “That’s my son. Our William is incredible. We’re bringing him home. We’re bringing him home.”
When the news first came that his son had died 4 battle, he had not cried. But now, hearing that William was still alive, he could no longer stop the tears.
Laila looked at him with understanding and determination. “Sir, you hold an important position at the Royal Court. You can’t leave, but your son can come with me.” His rank was lower, so taking leave would be much easier.
Darell stood up immediately. “I’ll pack now. Father, please request leave for me tomorrow!
His mother’s knees suddenly grew weak and collapsed on the ground, tears falling nonstop. “Duchess Conlay, I know you’re close with Dr. Sagewood. I beg you, please do everything you can to bring her with you!
She knew Rowan rarely traveled to treat patients, especially somewhere this far away. Their family simply did not have enough influence to invite him themselves. Their only hope was Laila.
