Elysia blinked, momentarily caught off guard by his request. She glanced down at him, noting the hopeful gleam in his violet eyes.
"For the other children at the orphanage?" she clarified.
Kael nodded eagerly. "They don't get to eat good food a lot," he whispered, almost embarrassed by the admission. "If we bring them something... they'll be really happy."
Elysia's heart clenched at his words, and without hesitation, she gave him a warm smile. "Of course we can."
Kael's face lit up with excitement, and one of the soldiers chuckled softly. "Looks like you've got your orders, Your Majesty."
Elysia rolled her eyes playfully. "Then let's get to work."
Kael, now brimming with enthusiasm, took the lead. He darted between stalls, pointing out foods with the decisiveness of someone on a mission.
