"King Broken!" Ronan was the first to speak as they finally stepped onto the floating island. "You actually get to build your kingdom here! Hahaha! A floating island. This is unbelievable!"
Mizuki spun around. "This place is real… I never thought I'd actually set foot on something this beautiful. This is beyond anything I imagined!" she said with bright-eyed wonder.
The others quickly followed suit—eyes wide, mouths agape. Even Broken could feel it now, more than ever. This island was breathtaking.
Before, he'd shared this place only with Alora. It felt intimate, sacred. But now… with more people walking its soil, their reactions genuine, joyful—he finally saw the place anew through their eyes.
It wasn't just a hidden base anymore. It was beginning to feel like a kingdom.
"King Broken!" another voice called. Vallrick, laughing as he approached. "May I please take a swim in that lake? It looks unbelievably refreshing!"
