The Foundation of an Empire
For a few long minutes… The three of them stood together, silent. No need for any words. Morning breezes blew past, rustling the leaves around them.
Reminding of the numerous times the three had fought and shed blood together… numerous meals… many dangers they had braved.
Victor slowly broke away and looked at the two girls with soft eyes.
"You both worked hard.""Thanks."
He brought a hand up and gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind Lane's ear, before leaning down to plant a soft kiss on her forehead.
Lane cheeks warmed with a faint blush.
A bright, happy smile naturally formed.
"I'll be waiting for you."
Victor then looked toward Videl.
She kept her usual cocky smile. "Don't think it'll mean I'll go easy when you come back." Victor let out a quiet chuckle.
"I never do."
