Even though Logan wanted to return Marie's feelings, he knew he had to let her go for now. There were others he needed to speak with—Lisa, in particular—before making any final decisions about how he would treat the other girls.
Marie had left after a lighthearted conversation about her days in the kingdom and how much she enjoyed working with Kryst. With so much to do before his next departure, Logan waited for Lisa and Alma, who he knew would return soon after their work in the town.
Lisa had gone with Alma, the singer, to catch up with her best friend after being apart for so long. They needed the ti together, while Logan focused on finishing his official duties.
It wasn't long before the two arrived at the castle. By then, Logan was seated on his throne, sifting through docunts. When the girls entered, they presented themselves in a way that caught him completely off guard.
"What are you two up to… especially you, Lisa? I know you're not the type to wear sothing like that…" Logan said, glancing around to ensure no one else was in the room. He was relieved to find they were alone, as the two girls stood before him dressed in a casino bunny suit like outfit.
"Well… one of the most famous casinos I sing at during peak hours has this as an official work uniform. Now then, why didn't you just start with a complint instead of interrogating us, idiot?" Alma retorted, her tone sharp but playful as she flashed Logan a mischievous grin.
"Yes, well, you two look great, of course. That doesn't even need to be said, but… why here, you know?" Logan stamred, gulping as Alma began walking toward him. She moved with deliberate emphasis, her fishnet stockings accentuating the red swimsuit-like outfit that clung to her curves.
Lisa, on the other hand quickly turned invisible the mont soone opened the door. It was Ruri, who peeked in, only to dart back out, flustered and clearly puzzled by Alma's choice of attire.
"Alma… I appreciate what you're showing ," Logan began, coughing awkwardly as he tried to maintain composure, "but how about we move this to a more private area?" He couldn't help but wonder if they truly wore outfits like that in the casino.
"So, you don't want others to see us, huh?" Alma teased, sitting casually on the edge of his throne, her playful grin showing no signs of fading. "Fine, I guess I'll stop."
With a snap of her fingers, her outfit transford into a stunningly vibrant gown, the kind one might wear to an elegant ballroom dance. She twirled slightly to show off the details of the magical fabric.
"How about this one, then?" Alma asked, laughing lightly, clearly enjoying her ability to catch Logan off guard.
Logan glanced at Lisa, now back in her casual school-day attire of jeans and a pink hoodie, before shifting his gaze to Alma, who rested her head on his shoulder.
"It was you, huh…" he said, his tone a mix of amusent and exasperation.
"Of course! I wanted to show you my new toy. I guess the runt Marie didn't tell you, since I wanted to trick you," Alma replied with a playful wink, clearly pleased with her successful prank.
"Also, I can change it to anything you desire in the future," she whispered into his ear, her teasing earning a sharp glare from Lisa.
"Okay, we did what you wanted, Alma. Now let's let Logan finish his paperwork," Lisa said, trying to pull her best friend away.
"No, it's fine. How about we talk in one of the rooms? I'm tired of staring at all these docunts," Logan said, placing the stack of papers into his ring. He knew Leonard would likely give him an earful later if he didn't review them properly.
Logan took a mont to look at both girls before standing up. "It's fine. I'm going to lose my mind if I keep going. It's bad enough coming back exhausted after a long trip, but having to read more than twenty pages just to figure out what laws need to be added to my town is brutal," he sighed, his weariness evident.
Just as he was about to leave with the two girls, a sudden call echoed within his mind, stopping him in his tracks.
"Master, hurry—co!" The urgent voice of one of his creatures echoed in Logan's mind, pulling his attention imdiately.
"Hey, you two, Scorch is calling out to … do you want to co along?" Logan asked, barely containing his excitent as he almost sprinted toward the nearest window, ready to rush to his creature's side.
"Why? What's happening?" Alma questioned, watching Logan's sudden urgency with curiosity.
"The eggs are about to hatch," Logan explained, a broad smile spreading across his face. "Of course, he wants there to see his kids."
The girls exchanged glances before nodding, recognizing the significance of the mont. They eagerly followed Logan, excited to witness the hatching.
"Sure, let's go. I don't mind seeing what kind of creature will hatch from the two dinos," Alma said, her curiosity evident as she clung to Logan's arm.
Logan glanced at her with a soft smile before turning to Lisa. "You coming?" he asked, his pace already quickening toward the window.
Lisa sighed at her friend's antics but gave a small nod in response. She followed quietly, her expression with a little anger before manifesting her wings to follow Logan.
As they began to fly to their destination, Logan lifted Alma into a princess carry, earning a startled but playful look from her. While carrying her, he had also reached out ntally to Victor and Rubina, requesting their presence to help check on the hatchlings.
They soon arrived at the fire bio. The intense heat radiated through the area, but Logan cast a few ice shield spells to keep the girls comfortable as they approached Scorch and his mate. The two creatures stood protectively over their shaking eggs, their eyes locked on the fragile shells that trembled with life.
It wasn't long before Victor Rosengard and Rubina arrived, accompanied by two fire mages tasked with maintaining the bio.
"Seems we arrived just in ti," Victor said, clutching his chest and catching his breath after hurrying to the scene.
