His breath was caught in his throat as he saw her for the first time.
The empress of the elven kingdom….
…..Was now devoid of her curse that had been haunting her entire life.
The golden light spilled across the chamber, warm and pure, chasing away every shadow that clung to the corners of the room.
Sephrina stood in the center, her body trembling but upright, her pale skin glowing faintly as though she had been reborn in sunlight.
Her hair, once dulled by years of strain, now glowed in pure gold.
Even her eyes, heavy and tired for as long as Akamir had known her, burned bright with golden fire.
It was the first time Akamir had seen her completely.
And his heartbeat was not slowing down whatsoever.
'…Damn, she really is the most beautiful.'
Even though the curse was gone, her beauty was still there.
She was still the most beautiful woman in the entire continent.
She raised her hand slowly, staring at her reflection in the golden glow still clinging to her veins.
