Chapter 51: Now Claim Your Knight
Leo watched as Philip looked relieved as he held his hand out, ’’Thank you, hero, the attack was so sudden that it was hard to keep track of the imperial family,’’ he explained.
’’Don’t worry about it, the empress has helped me understand my magic and has been a very dedicated teacher who is very hands-on, so saving her is nothing to me,’’ Leo replied to the commander with a grin.
The older man looked confused as he asked, ’’Hands on?’’
Helena’s hands trembled slightly as her cheeks flushed a deep red. She avoided his gaze as Leo chuckled softly, his smile warm and reassuring as he explained, ’’On my world, it means a teacher who doesn’t just lecture but shows you how things are done. Someone who guides you, hands-on, instead of just talking about it.’’
When Philip heard this, his eyes widened in shock, but he quickly nodded, ’’I understand Hero. We will take the empress to the safe room. Can you check out the surroundings?’’
’’No problem, but make sure you tell the emperor what I did,’’ Leo answered before taking off and flying around the city.
An hour later, he quickly realized everything was under control, causing him to return to the palace where Dorian told him to get some sleep before meeting in the morning. When Leo returned to the room, he noticed Roxy, Luna, and Bella were still inside.
’’Evening ladies, sorry about my absence, but there were Demons to deal with and an empress to save,’’ he said with a charming smile.
Roxy giggled while answering, ’’Don’t worry about it, babe, but we have some good and bad news.’’
Leo nodded while slumping onto a nearby bed as Bella spoke up, ’’We will dump Mike and Julius soon. Both me and Luna have no interest in being with them.’’
’’If it concerns sex, we will have it every night to help you with your Charm Points,’’ Luna commented with a worried smile.
