Chapter 254: The new Heart city (1/2)

Author: M_W Cancer

The next morning, Leo and the other resumed their journey to Heart city. As they were already halfway there and also in the safest part of the Silver Kingdom as well despite the Magical Beast outbreak, their travel was finally a lot faster than yesterday, since before their travel was almost always disrupted by Magical Beast attacking them.

”Leo, do you know where your Master is?” Princess Elaine suddenly asked. They were now slightly bit out of the schedule of their plan, which is to arrive at Heart city 2 to 3 days later. So the time has now become really tight for them.

”Considering that Heart city hasn't been attacked by the Silver Kingdom from the beginning till this present moment, then I'm sure Master Olivia is over there right now, which I assume should be in my manor.” Leo replied.

”Then, do you think I... no, we can persuade my mother?” Princess Elaine asked worryingly.

Hearing that, Leo can't help looking at Princess Elaine doubtfully, ”Why wouldn't we be sure of that? Think of this, Sword and Magic is pretty much our ally already, so the moment the Black organization at Southern Fortress is destroyed, Silver royal family would soon follow.”

”I've actually thought of that too, but I'm just getting this feeling that Silver royal family wouldn't fall that easily. Maybe they have something in their sleeves that can reverse all of this in their favor...” Princess Elaine replied.

”No matter what it would be, they can't be as strong as Sword and Magic, right?” Charlotte joined in.

”Maybe...” Leo suddenly thought of something in his mind. After hearing Princess Elaine's worry, he finally thought of Second Prince Edson and Third Prince Edmon. The two of them were known to have left Silver Kingdom the moment they broke through to Galaxy level, but there is no saying that they can't go back when their family's territory is under attack, right? There was also the 5th Princess Fiona, who at this moment hasn't still revealed herself as well despite always being in Silver Kingdom. Oh, he had almost forgotten. The Royal Magical Knights haven't shown any of their tails yet. So, they indeed can't be assured yet that they can really win this war.

”Exactly! I've lived with the Silver royal family this past few years, and despite the Silver Kingdom being a trash territory, the Silver royal family's own strength isn't actually undeserved.” Princess Elaine warned.

”Don't worry, my Master Olivia is not a fool. She obviously knew of this already that's why she didn't make any rash actions yet.” Leo replied.

”I hope so...”

.....

Before afternoon, Leo and the others finally arrived at the gate of Heart city.

Unlike before Leo left this place, the wooden walls have now turned to brick walls, there were also a lot of guards now compared to before, which he assumes were actually members of Mischievous Lion organization. Additionally, the wooden gate has now turned into a metal gate.

It wasn't only that, the houses nearby the walls have also been fortified to act as the second wall if ever the main wall was destroyed, which is great considering their location is just right beside the Silver city, specifically Silver royal family's base.

Fate knows just how much did it cost just to upgrade his entire Heart city into this. He doesn't even want to imagine the price. Fortunately, it wasn't his money as it is surely his Master Olivia's. He hopes so...

Looking at the gate, it was already wide open, and Leo soon after saw a beautiful woman with white-colored hair swaying with the wind, and crimson-colored eyes looking straight at him as their eyes then meet with each other soon after.

”Cassandra...”

”Leo...”

Just like before when Leo had just arrived at White River City, Cassandra had also detected him through their Blood Contract and she had then decided to wait for him at the gate of Heart city.

Unlike before where Cassandra could only wear a disguise, which completely suppresses her real beauty, this time there was nothing to hide her beauty anymore. There was no need to keep hiding because even if a member of the Vampire race comes, they won't be able to do anything to her that easily like before because she was now protected under someone's wing.

Even Charlotte, Princess Elaine, and all of the people who came along with Leo were immediately attracted to Cassandra's beauty.

Leo slowly walked closer to Cassandra, and the moment he arrived in front of her, specifically only a few centimeters distance, he said, ”Sorry for suddenly leaving...”

He had heard from Claude along their journey that after he suddenly disappeared, Cassandra had actually managed everything in his place, slowly raising up the Mischievous Lion Faction into a Guild and soon after winning the Student Council President position of the Mischievous Lion Academy. Just imagining how much trouble she had gone through just to completely follow up his plan, he could already feel so much appreciation for all of the things she had done in these past tens or so of days.

Contrary to Leo's expectations though, Cassandra's head twitched in an unexpected manner before she suddenly sent a punch straight to his face.

Fortunately, Leo was now a 1 Star Mage, hence he could see Cassandra's punch easily and clearly. If it was before, he would have been helpless of her punch, especially with their close distance.

Before the punch could arrive at Leo's face, he quickly grabbed Cassandra's wrist. Although it was still out of his expectations that it would actually not lost its momentum, it wasn't a problem for him to dodge it as he guided the punch to the left side of his head which then pulled her body straight to him due to the sudden momentum that pulled her body forward.

Bang!

Both of them fell to the ground, with Cassandra on top of Leo.

”Stupid!” Cassandra cried while pondering Leo's chest with her left hand, ”I was really worried about you...”

Leo could only stare at Cassandra's crying face, ignorant of what to do. This was his first time having a woman like this, though she was his slave, it was obvious to see that their relationship isn't of the Master-Slave kind of relationship, but something closer to romance.

He was helpless of that, as who can he blame for having such charm, right? And why would he even not like having such charm? Even the most unromantic person wouldn't mind having his charm, which is actually him, hehehe...

Anyways, he wasn't against it, as he even liked it this way, or maybe loved it this way...

Without caring for anything, Leo simply let go of Cassandra's other hand as he right after hugged her and kissed her forehead.

”I'm home.” Leo whispered to Cassandra's ear.
