"Do you think she'll be fine?" Darius asked Xenia as they both looked at Lena sitting by the campfire not far from them.
"I'm not sure. Amon personally talked to her a while ago before he left for Hindman's Manor. Go ahead and rest, I'll follow shortly. Let me check on Lena first," Xenia said to Darius with a smile. He leaned and gave her a peck on her lips as he said, "Don't take too long, you also need rest, our presence is needed tomorrow for the Ritual of Marking."
Xenia nodded in understanding. She had been very busy today, focused on attending to her sister's needs as she had just given birth to a healthy baby girl. Because of this, she missed a lot of what had happened, like the sudden union set-up between Bella and Amon. They would first conduct the Ritual of Marking, following Cordon's tradition, and then proceed with the marriage ceremony adhering to Helion's customs upon their arrival there.
