"Indy!" Arell gasped while following the toddler as she waddled unsteadily, almost falling from her lack of balance.
Elianna stifled a laugh, knowing that Arell had been the most occupied the moment Indira learned to walk. The child stuck himself close behind her, following her closely behind all the time. There are days which the little princess would throw her hands in frustration but Arell couldn't help but continued to watch her. Perhaps what's funnier was how Thunder always followed behind the two wherever they roamed. The three were always together, hardly separable.
At the sight of her, Indira let out an incomprehensible shriek and toddled to her quickly. A big smile lifted on Elianna's face, picking Indira up into her hold as she praised and baby talked to the toddler, "My beautiful niece is getting better each day! Aren't you a precious one?"
The little princess chuckled happily, wiggling in her hold before she babbled, "Pa."
Elianna was caught by surprise and she turned her head sharply to look at the toddler, checking, "Please say that again, Indira."
She repeated without hesitation, but sounding out twice as though trying to convey her request properly, "Papa."
A weight of aching heaviness settled in Elianna's heart and the sudden clench in her chest nearly broke her into tears. Even when she could hold it better now, the unbearable pain and shattering grief still tarried in her heart. Tugging the toddler closer to her, she patted on her tiny back, "You're a good girl."
Elianna left the nursery with Indira in her arms and she turned slowly to Arell, reminding him, "You have lessons to attend, mea lux, please don't let Tristan wait too long for you."
"Yes, Mother," Arell nodded, grinning at her. "I'll visit Indy again after my lessons!"
"Alright, mea lux," Elianna let out a light-hearted laugh. "Who can stop you anyway?"
Then, Arell went in the direction of the study with Thunder. Indira wiggled in her arms again, slightly restless and Elianna let out a small sigh. She planted a kiss on the little princess' forehead and walked in the opposite direction to leave Lyx.

They arrived in Nvre Palace shortly after and Elianna carried the toddler down the carriage before walking into the palace that was once so alive and warm, but now silent and cold. They went to the main bedchamber and Professor Hamley was just on his way out. At the sight of her, he greeted, "Your Majesty."
