Royale: Infanta Sofia

Chapter 25: Love and War

As Lucas returned home from the meeting at Buckingham Palace, Sofia greeted him with eager anticipation, her eyes shining with curiosity.

But as Lucas recounted the details of the conversation, Sofia's expression shifted from excitement to sadness, her heart heavy with the realization that her husband would soon be leaving her side.

Tears welled up in Sofia's eyes as she embraced Lucas tightly, her arms clinging to him as if afraid to let go. "I don't want you to go, Lucas," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. "I can't bear the thought of being apart from you, especially with our baby on the way."

Lucas held Sofia close, his heart breaking at the sight of her pain. "I know, my love," he murmured softly, his voice filled with tenderness and compassion. "But this is something I must do for our country. I promise to call you every night, to check up on you and our little one. And I'll be back before you know it."

With gentle strokes of his hand, Lucas sought to comfort Sofia, reassuring her of his love and devotion. "Let's savor every moment together while we still can," he said, his voice filled with determination. "And know that no matter where I am, my heart will always be with you, Sofia. We'll get through this together, I promise."

In the embrace of her husband's arms, Sofia found solace and strength, knowing that even in the face of separation, their love would endure.

With tears of sadness mingling with tears of love, they held onto each other tightly, cherishing the precious moments they shared as they prepared to face the challenges that lay ahead, hand in hand.

With only a week to prepare for his departure, Lucas devoted every moment he could to his beloved wife, Sofia, and their unborn son.

Each passing day became a precious opportunity to cherish the time they had together, to create memories that would sustain them during their separation.

Lucas made a conscious effort to be present in every moment, savoring the simple joys of their life together – from leisurely walks in the park to cozy evenings spent curled up on the sofa, hand in hand, as they talked about their hopes and dreams for the future.

As Sofia's due date drew nearer, Lucas felt a renewed sense of urgency to cherish every moment they shared.

He made sure to pamper her with love and affection, tending to her every need with unwavering devotion and care.

Together, they spent hours talking and laughing, reminiscing about the journey that had brought them together and the love that had sustained them through the trials and triumphs of life.

And as they awaited the arrival of their son, they found solace and comfort in the warmth of each other's embrace, knowing that their love would carry them through the challenges that lay ahead.

With each passing day, Lucas reaffirmed his commitment to Sofia and their unborn son, vowing to be the best husband and father he could be, even in his absence.

And as the day of his departure loomed closer, he held onto the hope that their love would remain strong, bridging the distance between them until they were reunited once more.

As Lucas strummed his guitar and sang the tender notes of "Can't Help Falling in Love," his voice filled the room with a melody that echoed the depth of his love for Sofia. With each chord, each word, he poured his heart and soul into the song, his eyes never leaving Sofia's as he serenaded her with a promise of undying devotion.
