"All of you can stop now. They are not our enemies. Little Leoz! When are you going to become a scholar?"
"!!!" The spirits turned around, noticing that Alex had woken up. "Alex. We need to leave this place!"
Anna must have said those words out of desperation since she didn't notice the change in Alex's word and soon realized there was a crown above his head.
"That crown… And that phrase…" Leoz was the first one to notice. He never thought he could hear that annoying phrase again. It was the phrase that Alex used to say to him. Though it annoyed him most of the time, when Alex fell in battle, he couldn't help but miss that teasing of his.
Tears streamed out of his eyes, falling down uncontrollably. It wasn't his character to be this weak. He had promised him to get stronger, but meeting him again like this just made it unbearable.
"Master! I am glad to see you again." Leoz fell on his knees, kept crying like a baby.
