Yes!! OMG! The war in the novel still happened and that's why Hestia's crying. He needs to participate and talked to Hestia about it. Hestia was acting calm and wishing for him to be back safely, and when they parted to sleep in their own rooms, Hestia cried immediately after she went inside her room. Then, she heard a knock on the door and thought it was a servant. Suddenly, the door was opened and He saw Hestia's crying face. And to secure Hestia that he will be back safely, THEY DID THE DID!! AND KAEL WAS THE ONE WHO MADE A MOVE!! Also of course to show how much he loved Hestia.
She's hesitating to cross the line because Hestia didn't want to believe it's her new reality now. But they're so cute and I already read the novel btw hahaha can't wait for Kael to say "If i knew your crying was this pretty, i would have done it earlier (sex)"
