He pushed aside his personal feelings and focused on his sister, reaching out to comfort her. "Anlle, it's been too long," he said, his voice filled with warmth and affection. "I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed me. But I'm here now, and I promise to protect you."
Anlle leaned into Selo's embrace, finding solace in his presence. "I've missed you so much," she whispered, tears streaming down her face. "But I made my choices, Selo, and I have to live with them."
Selo's heart ached for his sister, knowing the difficult path she had chosen. "I understand, Anlle. But remember, I will always be here for you, no matter what."
Lord Centbury, watching the sibling reunion, felt a mix of emotions. He had always admired Anlle's strength and spirit, even when their marriage had been arranged. Seeing her vulnerable with her brother, he felt a pang of guilt for the pain he had brought upon her.
"Anlle," he said gently, stepping closer. "I see how much you love your brother, and I can't help but feel regret for causing you this sorrow. I promise to always protect and cherish you, to be a better husband to you."
Anlle looked up at Centbury, her eyes filled with uncertainty. "Can I truly believe you, Centbury? Can we build a future together, despite our past?"
Centbury nodded, determination shining in his eyes. "I will spend my life proving my love and loyalty to you, Anlle. We can overcome our past and build a strong foundation for our future."
Selo watched the interaction between his sister and Centbury, his initial anger slowly subsiding. Seeing the sincerity in Centbury's eyes, he realized that maybe his sister had made the right choice after all. He stepped aside, giving them space to reconnect and rebuild their relationship.
As the days passed, Selo recovered from his injuries and integrated himself into the castle life. He became a trusted advisor to Lord Centbury, using his warrior skills to protect the land and its people. And while he never fully accepted Centbury as his brother-in-law, he learned to respect the love and devotion he had for his sister.
In the end, Selo's fall from the wall had brought him not only back to his sister but also a chance for redemption and a new understanding of love and forgiveness. The Lionton warrior had found his place in the kingdom of Pallmer, where his loyalty and unwavering spirit would forever be remembered.
