Yuan and the others turned their heads the moment they sensed a new, radiant presence in the room. An elf with long silver hair tied into a neat ponytail stepped inside, her elegant dress swaying lightly with each step.
'Who is this girl? Is she someone related to Mireya and Sylvia?' Yuan wondered, his gaze lingering on her with curiosity.
Without hesitation, Mireya spread her arms wide and pulled the girl into a warm embrace, holding her close for a few moments before letting go.
"You've grown so much since I last saw you, Elaris. You're taller now… and even more beautiful," Mireya said with a gentle chuckle.
Elaris Silverleaf—Mireya's cousin—was the daughter of Elaine Moonshade, Valeryan's elder sister, who had married into the Silverleaf household for love. Mireya had always been close to Elaris, something Yuan and the others could immediately tell from the warmth in their reunion.
