Laila couldn’t help laughing at Viola’s sinug expression, but deep down, she still carried a lingering

concern.

The Stones were simply too wealthy.

In the entire Rydar Kingdom, no one could rival the wealth of the nation’s number one merchant family.

There had long been rumors that if the Stones‘ silver were piled together, it would stand taller than the royal treasury itself. For anyone else, “rich enough to rival a nation” would sound exaggerated. For the Stones, it was merely a statement of fact.

But the higher they stood, the more dangerous the fall. And on top of that, the Stones had taken on the military contracts for forging armor and weapons. Countless people coveted that enormous source of profit. Countless others envied them.

Vaughn’s eyes had probably never once left the Stones either.

“What about your marriage?” Laila asked. “Have you thought about it?”

Viola replied lazily, “Not really. I haven’t even found the mate the Moon Goddess has planned for me yet. Who knows? Maybe I still won’t find him for another two or three years. Honestly, that’s fine with me. I’m perfectly happy on my own. I can go wherever I want and do whatever I want.”

Laila thought that really did suit Viola’s personality. Viola was someone born for wide–open skies and freedom. Asking her to settle down quietly and manage a pack would be downright cruel.

Back then, Laila had been the same way.

The two of them used to talk about marriage all the time, and both had firmly declared they never wanted to get married.

Yet now, Viola still stood by that decision, while Laila already had a second fiancé.

Remembering the past, Viola immediately thought of the same thing and shot Laila a disdainful look. “You’re such a liar. You were the one who swore we’d stay single together. And now look at you–you’re already about to have your second ceremony.”

Laila said, “Go say that to Samuel.”

Viola wanted to argue, but in the end, she didn’t dare continue. She’d once served under Samuel in the military. No matter how approachable or easygoing he seemed in daily life, he always carried an indescribable sense of pressure deep in his bones. Even standing there silently, he made people instinctively straighten their backs.

Viola genuinely admired Laila. Because somehow, when facing Samuel, Laila could completely forget the chilling feeling of hearing him issue battlefield orders during wartime.

The group

moved much faster on the return trip than they had coming here. At the very least, they weren’t crawling along anymore.

William could already sit propped up inside the carriage now. Sara leaned against him beside him. The two of them fit together like perfectly matched puzzle pieces.

Strangely enough, ever since she’d arrived, he no longer felt pain, and she no longer got dizzy either. Sitting together seemed to give them both some kind of indescribable strength.

As for everyone else, they were desperate to get home.

And because they’d finally returned to familiar land, no longer forced to live in fear, hide constantly, or exhaust themselves passing secret messages, everyone had filled out a little. Their once/lean frames looked sturdier now, their hollow checks fuller. Combined with the joy in their hearts and the disappearance of constant worry, they looked like entirely different people.

Viola even commented, “Now their faces finally look normal again. Eyes where eyes should be, noses where noses should be. Much more pleasant to look at.”

Viola and Laila were exceptions. The two of them didn’t tan easily. No matter how much they traveled through wind and rain, their skin only darkened by maybe a shade.

Samuel, however, was a completely different story.

During those days rescuing people in Ovila, he’d spent every day running around under the blazing sun until he’d turned tanned. Privately, Viola had given him a nickname–Brownie. Of course, she only dared use it in front of Laila.

Samuel himself didn’t care. He only said, “As long as Laila doesn’t mind that I’m ugly.”

When he said that, the way he looked at Laila burned even hotter than before. After everything that had happened, he no longer wanted to keep suppressing his feelings.

Greer had already promised that once they returned, she would dedicate herself fully to researching the curse and try to solve it completely within six months.

By then, he would finally become a normal person. He wouldn’t need to hold himself back anymore.

More importantly, and maybe it was just his imagination, he felt like Laila’s attitude toward him had changed.

She seemed much closer to him now, no longer keeping that invisible distance between them.

So whenever he had free time, he approached her, constantly searching for excuses to talk to her.

But there were just too many “Brownies” on this trip.

One darker than the next. One shinier than the next.
