The House Of Crows And Wolves

Chapter Ninety-One: Proposal Amidst the Calm

The mansion was finally still, a rare moment of tranquility settling over its halls. Lyra Ravenshadow and Eva Nightshade stood on the balcony, the moonlight casting a serene glow over their faces. The air was crisp and cool, carrying the scent of the garden's blooming flowers.

Lyra turned to Eva, her heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and love. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. Tonight was the night she had decided to take the next step.

"Eva," Lyra began, her voice soft but steady. "I need to talk to you about something important."

Eva's eyes sparkled with curiosity and affection. "What is it, Lyra?"

Taking a deep breath, Lyra dropped to one knee, her hand reaching into her pocket. Eva's eyes widened in surprise, her hands flying to her mouth as she realized what was happening. Lyra pulled out a small velvet box and opened it to reveal a beautiful wedding ring, its gem reflecting the moonlight with a gentle shimmer.

"Eva Nightshade," Lyra said, her voice filled with emotion, "you are my partner, my confidante, and my greatest love. Through every battle, every trial, and every moment of peace, you have been my rock. I can't imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?"

Tears welled up in Eva's eyes, her heart swelling with joy and love. She knelt down to join Lyra, taking her hands in her own. "Lyra," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion, "you have been my strength, my light, and my everything. Yes, yes, I will marry you."

Lyra slipped the ring onto Eva's finger, their hands trembling with excitement and happiness. They embraced, their love for each other shining brightly in the moonlit night. The weight of the past battles and the uncertainty of the future melted away, leaving only their love and commitment to each other.

As they held each other close, their hearts beating in sync, the world around them seemed to pause. This was their moment, a promise of a future together, filled with love and unity.

Inside the mansion, their allies sensed the shift, feeling the joy and love radiating from the couple. It was a beacon of hope, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, love could shine through.

Lyra and Eva stood together, hand in hand, ready to face whatever the future held. They knew that with each other by their side, they could overcome any obstacle, defeat any enemy, and build a life filled with love and happiness.

As the night continued, the stars above seemed to twinkle a little brighter, celebrating the union of two souls destined to be together.

The mansion buzzed with joyous energy as everyone gathered to celebrate the victories and the beautiful proposal between Lyra and Eva. The grand hall was decorated with twinkling lights and colorful banners, a testament to their hard-earned triumphs.

Laughter and music filled the air, the sound of clinking glasses and heartfelt toasts echoing through the room. Friends and allies mingled, sharing stories of bravery and camaraderie. Eva and Lyra stood at the center, surrounded by their loved ones, their smiles radiant.

"To Lyra and Eva!" someone shouted, and the room erupted in cheers. The celebration was a moment of respite, a chance for everyone to revel in their successes and the promise of a brighter future together.
