"It may be your name in the world you came from, and I will not take that from you. But to the rulers of Nerathis, it carries no weight. If you wish to stand before this world, then you need a name this world will understand."
Ferrakar explained in a firm tone and Kael…
His eyes moved toward Lavinia.
Lavinia froze.
For a moment, she did not understand why he was looking at her like that.
But then she did and her eyes widened slightly.
"Kael…"
Kael smiled faintly, then he turned back toward Ferrakar and—
"Kael Dragonborn."
He announced calmly, his blue eyes shining intensely.
And the moment Lavinia heard those words, her face changed. First, it was shock, but then, her eyes softened, a small, warm, proud smile appeared on her face, a smile that she tried to control, but failed.
Her heart fluttered strongly.
Kael was taking her name.
The meaning behind that was clear.
A Marriage.
