Seeing how flustered she was, unable to find the right words, the prime minister gave a gentle, kind- hearted smile.
“I won’t keep you any longer. Once Nael finishes running my medical check–up, he’ll come find you p>
Lyra stood up. Her cheeks burned bright red. She darted a quick glance toward the two men, pressed her lips tight, and typed out her farewell.
After the door clicked shut, the soft smile faded from the prime minister’s face. He let out a long sigh.
“Don’t hold what happened against me. I only p>
“I understand, Dad. There is no need for you to carry guilt,” Nael cut him off before he could finish.
“If anything, I’m grateful for the choices you made back then. Without them, I might never have met her p>
The prime minister nodded sadly.
Even as he spoke words of understanding and gratitude, Nael’s tone stayed cool, almost distant. It hardly sounded like a son speaking to his father.
Perhaps facing death had softened the prime minister at last.
“Ms. Kaelin is nothing like other Guides. I’m delighted that you won her affection. She keeps very few people close. Learn to get along with her other personal guards. Do not give in to petty jealousy, nor bicker over trivial matters.
“If you act that way, you will only drive a Guide away.
“When you go to her, do not humble yourself too far. You are my son. Stay modest, and focus all of your attention on the Guide p>
“I will remember every word,” Nael replied earnestly.
Only at this moment did the prime minister feel a twinge of regret for how harshly he had pushed Nael in the past.
Outside the office, Lyra took several deep breaths. The heat staining her cheeks quickly faded in the cool
air.
Hadrien let out a quiet breath of relief the second she came into view.
“What happened in there p>
Lyra tapped rapidly on her Star Brain as she walked.

-Hadrien watched her, concerned.
Lyra typed, “You’ve just gained another family member, that’s all p>
Then she switched screens and fired off urgent messages toward Phineas.
“Done yet?
“How much longer?
“Show me what you’ve got p>
Hadrien blinked, confused.
“What p>
He finally grasped what had transpired later, after they left Black Spire to grab something to eat.
A formal system alert pinged across public channels.

“Nael has formally resigned from his post as White Citadel’s chief medical director to serve as personal guard to Ms. Kaelin. Senior medical staff will take over his former responsibilities p>
Hadrien’s heart gave one sharp lurch, then steadied. He had expected this truth to come out much later.
Everyone else hearing the announcement was thoroughly shocked.
On the surface, the pair had rarely been seen together.
Even though Lyra often visited the hospital, she never followed a set schedule, and not everyone knew
about it.
Sentinels everywhere sighed in envy. Nael had quietly won a Guide’s heart.
With Nael leaving the White Citadel hospital, everyone agreed Lyra would almost certainly stop coming by the main building entirely.
By that afternoon, Nael had wasted no time presenting himself at Lyra’s residence.
Lyra was getting her hair and makeup done for an evening banquet.
This was Nael’s first time setting foot inside the home.
He arrived brimming with excitement, yet froze in the entryway, unsure how to step further inside.
“Let me take that for you p>
Hadrien came downstairs to greet him. As they headed upward, he filled Nael in on Lyra’s current plans.
Nael nodded, his eyes wandering curiously over the space he would now share.
He ached to see Lyra right away, yet Hadrien told him to pick his bedroom first.

Hadrien’s room sat to Lyra’s left. To her right opened up a wide, sun–drenched balcony and common lounge.
Unsurprisingly, Nael chose the room directly across the hall, closest to hers.
“Follow me p>
Reading his impatience, Hadrien led him calmly to the dressing room where Lyra sat.
Naei’s breath caught the instant he saw her in the mirror, finished with elegant makeup.
Lyra noticed her new “roommate” arrive and gave him a soft smile through the reflection.
Nael stepped slowly into the room, his gaze fixed, unable to tear himself away.
Even Lyra, who was used to such intense attention, felt warmth creep across her face under his smoldering, adoring stare.
The stylist fussed over fine strands of her hair. Lyra typed politely, “Have you eaten p>
Nael snapped back to reality. A warm, gentle smile spread across his features, his eyes bright.
“I have p>
“Will you join us for the banquet tonight?” Lyra typed.
An invitation like that meant she intended to acknowledge their connection publicly in front of every
guest.
Nael’s chest swelled with emotion.
“May I p>
Lyra shot him a quick glance.
“Just teasing. You can’t come p>
Disappointment slowly settled over Nael’s face.
“That is all right. I will wait for you two to return p>
Lyra grinned. “I’m messing with you, you fool p>
Nael laughed, his good humor restored.
“You nearly gave me a fright p>

Lyra’s eyes crinkled with amusement. “You cannot even fake being upset convincingly p>
He had seen right through her little act the whole time.
Nael blinked back at her with playful mischief. “Then I was teasing you right back p>

This light–hearted back–and–forth melted away most of his nervous tension.
The stylist listened to their exchange and sighed softly. “You two have such a wonderful bond p>
Nael said nothing, only watched Lyra with fond eyes.
Lyra typed, “Thank you p>

Her gaze drifted to the mirror, where she spotted Hadrien sitting off to one side, observing the scene quietly. She gave him a wide, bright smile too.
When she did not leave him out, Hadrien’s gaze softened, his expression stilled.
Once styling was complete, it was time to depart. Lyra slipped her white silk–gloved hands through the arms of both men.
She set off toward the banquet, spirits high, with the two men beside her brimming with quiet excitement.
The striking trio turned every head the moment they stepped inside.
Guests came forward one after another to offer their congratulations to Lyra and Nael.
Lyra smiled and acknowledged each of them.
The banquet’s host came over to make conversation, raising his glass in greeting.
