Without precedence, both faces tear-streaked, the twins started running and cried loudly as they rushed towards Sera.

“Sera, are you okay now?”

“Sera, you’re not in pain anymore, right?”

“We’ve been waiting for Sera every day.”

“Without missing a single day, we thought of Sera!”

Unable to embrace Sera tightly due to Helios’s arms around her, the children stretched their arms, crying out.

Gently. Helios whispered that single word softly, looking into Rosé and Ferre’s eyes.

Realizing Sera’s condition, they nodded in understanding. Ferre then hesitantly parted his lips.

“Sera, can we come closer?”

Sera happily nodded in agreement. The children cautiously approached, then burst into tears, wailing loudly.

“Sera!”

“Hiic.”

“Me and Ferre… Uwahh!”

“We wanted… to see Sera so much…”

Their crying seemed endless. Thinking they were crying more than herself, Sera tenderly whispered.

“Can I see your faces?”

“Yes!”

“Look!”

Rosé and Ferre instantly lifted their heads at her words.

With faces smeared in tears, acting as if they were saying ‘Sera, you can do whatever you want!’ made Sera, Helios, and everyone else break into soft laughter.

Sera slowly embraced Rosé and Ferre.

Seeing the twins she had longed to see as healthy made Sera’s tears well up again.

“Miss Sera.”

Gradually, people gathered around her and Helios.

Those with teary eyes all wore happy faces, welcoming her return.

She should be laughing because it was all over, but she couldn’t understand why she kept crying.

Comforting her, Helios whispered ‘It’s okay. Everything’s okay.’ several times.

Sera approached the bed where the two crybabies lay, having cried themselves to sleep early despite it being early evening due to how much they had wept.

“Children really grow up fast.”

Looking at the children breathing softly in sleep, Sera spoke to Helios. During the time she had been asleep, the children had grown taller and their feet had gotten a bit bigger.

“It’s already been two seasons.”

“Still, six months…”

“The mages say the sense of time in ritual and reality is different.”

Helios, who had been beside Sera, wrapped an arm around her shoulder. He looked at the children with a tranquil gaze then turned to face her.

“How do you feel?”

“Not very good, but not bad either. I’m a bit weak, but they said I’d get better soon with more healing from divine power.”

Sera reassured Helios with a smile, knowing he was still worried about her even though Araella and Roward had confirmed there were no longer any traces of the curse left in her body.

“When are you leaving?”

Sera, who had been advised to stay at the temple for a while longer to receive more healing, asked softly. It would take time to travel to the palace, yet Helios had not made any preparations to leave.

“I decided to stay at the temple for one day.”

“Really?”

“They refused me when I said I would give you divine power myself and wanted to take you to the palace right away.”

Helios smiled tenderly as he brushed Sera’s hair.

Sera looked at him, uncertain whether he was joking or not.

When no response came, Sera realized he was telling the truth and burst into incredulous laughter.

“Did you really say that?”

“The mages were deciding whether to give you a short and intense healing session at the temple or a long-term treatment going back and forth between the temple and the palace. Obviously, the shorter option was better for me. I missed you too much and didn’t want to spend more time apart.”

His voice, light as if joking, turned serious by the time he spoke of missing her.

Sera looked into the beautiful eyes of Helios for a long while before resting her head on his chest.

Helios naturally drew her closer into his broad embrace.

“I heard that entering someone’s subconscious is a dangerous spell, and you offered to go yourself. Thank you for coming to find me.”

Sera spoke with a trembling voice.

Had Helios not come for her, had she not heard his voice, she might have settled for that false happiness forever.

Because he didn’t give up and held onto her, she could be here with him at this moment.

Helios looked at her intently and then shook his head.

“I felt it was something I had to do. No, I thought I couldn’t live without doing it.”

Remembering his feelings from that time, Helios let out a quiet breath.

Without saying who initiated it, they embraced each other tightly.

“I love you, Sera.”
