Gildern seemed to have something important to report. However, Link was already used to dealing with matters of great import. He said calmly, "Come to the conference hall. I'll listen to your report there."
"Yes, my lord," replied Gildern, who then hurried straight towards the Mage Tower.
Link then said to Celine, "My love, I have something to attend to. Please continue without me."
Celine's eyes were still glued to the magic book in front of her, puzzling over an extremely difficult problem concerning Soul Magic. She waved a hand at him.
"Go do whatever you need to do, as long as it doesn't involve flirting with that beautiful Dragon Queen."
Laughing at this, Link touched Celine's hand. He then let his hand run through her long, silky hair before lowering his head to give her a kiss on her forehead. Finally, he walked out of the study silently and headed towards the conference hall.
