In the palace garden, the coolness of midnight was there.
Zero and Lyria were walking under the stars, holding hands.
With each step, their bond deepened.

The Calm Before the Storm
Zero looked at Lyria and whispered:
"Sometimes a storm rages inside me... Both power and love mixed together."
Lyria closed her eyes, and said in a soft voice:
"Storms should be in the past. Now we should build a new life together."

Explosion of Emotions
In an instant, Zero stopped and touched Lyria's face.
"I know... there are so many things I want to tell you, but words are not enough."
Lyria opened her eyes, her heart beating rapidly.
"Words are not needed to tell me what you feel," she said, smiling.

Promises Under the Stars
The two hugged each other under the bright light of the stars.
Zero whispered into Lyria's ear:
"You are my everything."
Lyria responded:
"And you are my eternity."

To the Future Together
At that moment, the palace garden was illuminated by their love.
Even in the shadow of war and pain, hope and love had sprouted.
