Just you. And if that's too forward, blame the hour. It's still dark here, and the sea is loud this morning. It makes honesty easier.Then, the debt-arbiter who cannot lie and looks at her like she is the only puzzle worth solving.Welcome to Velanthis, where she never has to choose.The Confluence's DaughterBook One of the Velanthis Standalone DuetThe Bindings of ElorionPerfect for fans of:Why chooseFMC 30+Cinnamon roll MMCPolitical stakesFound familyFae magicSlow burnOpen door spice
