"You've worked hard," Leon praised her.
"Mm," Aria nodded.
Shortly after, Leon turned his head to Darlene on his left side and also praised her, "You worked hard as well, and it also seems like you'll be the first among us to reach the Acknowledged Paragon stage."
"Jealous?" Darlene grinned.
"Oh?" Leon uttered with amusement before asking her, "When did you learn to be cheeky, hm?"
He gave Darlene's round bottom a sneaky squeeze, causing her to cry with a startled look before her face flushed with embarrassment.
Shortly after looking around to see no one watching, she pouted at him.
Leon spent some time catching up with Aria and Darlene before Saresha returned with Nyfarella and the rest of the dark faes.
"Congratulations on your successful retreat, my Lord!" Nyfarella and the dark faes quickly dropped down on their knees and greeted.
