Gilded captive heart
Chapter 26

Nova's days in the castle had settled into a comfortable routine, and she had grown closer to each of the brothers. However, one day, their arrival at her door with worried expressions put her on edge. She welcomed them in, anxiety gnawing at her, as they shared the news that the council wished to meet her.

Initially, fear crept over Nova as thoughts of an intimidating council filled her mind. However, the brothers were quick to reassure her. They explained that she had nothing to fear and proceeded to introduce her to each of the council members by name: Thalora, Veldor, and Lirael. Their warm words of encouragement helped to ease her anxiety, and they reminded her not to be intimidated.

With the brothers' support and guidance, Nova felt a renewed sense of confidence. She was ready to face the council, knowing that she had the strength and determination to navigate this new chapter in her extraordinary journey alongside her alien companions.
