"I think I'm going to cry too, your Highness." Zolan said when Gavriel reached him, smirking playfully.
"Go ahead. I'd like to see your poker face cry." Gavriel comnted, smirking back.
"Well, I changed my mind. I'll cry if you cry first, Your Highness." Zolan quipped.
"You still think you can fool ? Zolan?" Gavriel raised an eyebrow at him.
"Well, I'm just trying to check if your mories truly have returned now."
When Gavriel reached Samuel, the big man's stoic face remained unfazed as he looked steadily at his prince and lord.
"You did well, leading these bunch of troublemakers." He told the big man and Samuel's expression cracked a little, showing a small smile as he was touched at the prince's praise.
"They've been such a bunch of good and well behave n, Your Highness, so I didn't actually need to do anything."
"I guess, they behaved because you're the one leading them."
"Er… I don't think so, Your Highness. I believe it's because of our master, the princess. Being with the princess didn't give them much ti to fool around."
Gavriel looked at Evie who was quietly standing there, giving the n space.
A smile curved on his lips. "It seems my wife can control you guys better than I do." Gavriel teased his n.
"Well, we can't afford to disappoint you, so we did our best… to behave and focus." Luc said and Gavriel nodded, smiling.
"Certainly. All of you have truly made proud." Gavriel told them and the n looked revitalized.
After a while, they then rembered Levy and they all headed to the place where he was.
The dark crystal that had trapped him was shining with a cool glimr under the sun.
Evie did not waste a single mont longer and stood before the crystal while Gavriel and his n stayed back, watching on and waiting for what she would do.
Amber lights began to gather in Evie's palm and her body started to glow.
Watching her, the look in Gavriel's eyes were intense. There were surges of emotions in them as he observed her every move, every wave of magic that she was summoning, and the asure of power that she now command.
Then she suddenly glowed with an extra brilliant amber blaze that rivalled even the sun's magnificence, right where she stood. In the very next second, there was a loud cracking sound from the crystal before it exploded into a shower of dark glitters. Gavriel was still a little bit unused seeing Evie being so powerful, extrely capable, and… exceptionally confident. All of them were a little surprised how the dark glitters from the crystal had not flown everywhere but had only remained within a two-feet radius from where Levy was. It was as though the princess had ford a barrier around to prevent the dark crystal's fragnts from flying off as shards that might harm others around.
The way she stood there with her hands stretched forward, in Gavriel's eyes, he saw a queen. A powerful, and formidable queen. And a faint smile curved on his lips. He was proud of her. So proud of her that he could not explain in words on how he felt. She had grown up so much since they had gotten separated. Her growth was so great that she even looked like she had beco soone who is unreachable.
Gavriel was genuinely happy for her. She is truly a queen now. He could imagine her sitting there on her throne while he was still down below, looking up at her in awe. The throne next to her was still empty and he was going to sit there beside her very soon. He was going to be king. He will be her only king and she, his queen.
It was amazing how she had arrived there first before him. He rembered he once decided to beco king to make her queen. But this amazing woman actually arrived at their destination first.
As he kept his eyes riveted on her, there was only one thing in Gavriel's mind. He needed to reach the pinnacle as well and sit on that throne which was right next to hers.
'Wait for my queen, I'll get there very soon.' He declared within himself as his eyes glead with so much intensity. He would live up to that expectation and not disappoint her.
…
The mont Levy was finally freed, he teared up upon hearing that their prince finally rembers them. The drama king even ran over and hugged Gavriel, evoking a round of laughter among the n. Their very own comic relief was back, hearty and hale.
After that, he went on over to offer a thank you to Evie for saving him.
"Thank you for saving , princess!" he exclaid sincerely, and Evie fondly patted his head while he bent over and held Evie's hand.
While Levy was being dramatic again, Luc, who was standing right next to the quiet Leon creased his brows. Then he gently bumped his elbow on Leon to catch his attention.
"You do realise that Zanya keeps glancing over at you, right? She looks kind of concerned. I know you can feel her gaze, so don't tell you can't." Luc said. He had been bothered for quite a while now because Leon was acting as though he did not notice Zanya's gaze at all.
He even noticed that Leon was trying to avoid looking at Zanya at all. It was as if it would kill him the mont that he looked over at her. And that was not all. It was obvious that Leon was not fine in the least. He was stiff and sweating all this while and looked as though he was suffering.
When Leon still remained silent and unmoving, Luc sighed out in exasperation.. "This is not like you at all, Leon. Did you really end up falling in love with her after drinking her blood? Is that why you're like this now?"
