Leon and Eli were startled by Zale's voice.
In their minds, they were actually thankful that Zale did not choose to just enter their cabin unannounced rather than knocking at their main door, or else… they would be caught in an awkward situation.
"Let's go and meet him…" Leon whispered and led Eli into the entrance.
Eli had a hunch as to what was the reason why Zale went to visit them unannounced, that was to retrieve the grimoire. But she actually wondered, coming to retrieve the mysteriously dangerous relic, why did the guardians only send one to retrieve it?
"Greetings, Esteemed Guardian Zale…" They both greeted Zale who was standing in front of their doorstep pouting like an aggrieved child.
"Hmph… good you came fast!!! Now, now… give me the thing…" Zale's eyes shined excitedly as he saw the couple coming out to greet him. He held out his slender, yet muscular tanned hand and gestured to Eli to give him something.
"Guardian Zale, wouldn't you want to enter the cabin first?" Leon carefully asked, he was surprised that Zale seemed to want to fast-track everything.
His conjecture turned out to be spot on when he heard the Guardian's answer,
"No… I have no time to spare… just give me the grimoire and I'll immediately go back to the realm…"
"Aiyoooo… why did I have to be the loser of that game called Uno cards?!"
"Now I have no choice but to go out and leave the realm and be apart with my godson!!!"
"Aishhhh… Did you know? My godson and I were starting to get close?"
"He was also starting to call me godpa already!!!"
"Hmf! Those stingy guardians just wanted to send me away so that they would have less competition with my godson's affection!"
Eli and Leon couldn't help but have their brows twitched at Zale's ranting. It turns out that Zale was in a rush to go back to the guardian realm because he was afraid that the other guardians would get close to Little Han in his absence.
After that, Eli felt a deep sense of longing upon Zale's mention of Little Han. But her heart was relieved after hearing the information in Zale's rants.
The guardians must have been taking care of Little Han dearly.
"My son… how was he?" Eli was about to ask about Little Han's well-being when Leon beat her to it. She could even feel his hands tremble while he asked about their son.
"Hmm… Do you miss him, Third Prince?" Zale raised his brows in interest as his hands reached out with the grimoire he covered with a protective light in order for it not to leak out any sinister power.
Leon answered without hesitation, "I do… I think of him every day… Even as I go to the battle, I long to finish everything early and see him the soonest…"
Zale looked at Leon, but he did not ridicule him as his usual character would. It was perhaps because this was one of the rare moments for Leon to take his vulnerable emotions out in the open to someone other than Eli.
"How about you, young Eli? Oh no, Paladin Eli…" Zale asked Eli, assessing their expressions intently.
"I do… everything that I strive to do... I hope to give Little Han a safer place to grow into…" Eli looked down with her hands clenching in her chest, the obvious trace of longing.
"Hmm… poor you parents…" Zale touched his chin, looking at the sappy couple with an expression that is trying to sympathize with their emotions.
"Don't worry, he is doing well… But you have to finish your tasks immediately so that you can reunite with him…" Zale looked at them with an unusually serious expression that was trying to appease the two of them.
The two did not say anything in reply, but they gave Zale an affirmative nod.
"Alright, I shall now go…" Zale went ahead and conjured a portal, Eli and Leon could only look at him without a word, holding each other's hands as they went through the emotions of parents being away from their child.
"Oh, by the way… Wisey would wake up soon too… by the time you wrap everything up she would be fully recovered!" Zale looked back and gave them another piece of good news.
Eli's mood lightened up upon hearing that Wisey was also alright.
"Anddddd… The Overseer had a message…I almost forgot to say!" Zale peeked through the portal and looked at the two teasingly.
"He said that you two should better present yourselves to him first before making baby number 2~~~" He mumbled as he looked at them with a knowing smile before truly disappearing into the portal.
Zale's final comment made the two flinch awkwardly… Their faces heat up in embarrassment…
It was so awkward that they were also finding it hard to interact with each other after hearing the Great One's message.
To present themselves before making baby number 2… meant that they should have to marry first before they truly consummate their love.
"Eherm…" Leon cleared out his throat nervously and peeked at Eli whose face was incredulously blushing in red. "Let's get inside shall we?"
"Ah… yes we should…" Eli was startled by Leon's words but she still sheepishly followed him inside the cabin.
The two also went back to the capital as soon as they did some tasks in Silver Dew Forest.
There were many things for them to fix and rebuild as well as problems they needed to solve. That is why they couldn't afford to relax and let their guard down as both the Empire and the Temple were in a vulnerable state.
Leon immediately went to the palace to take over their duties as Emperor Valentin, Kazimir, and Antoine were gravely injured in the process of defending the capital.
It was also a blessing that the people in the capital, noble or common people unanimously responded to the two queens' calls to rebuild the capital.
On the Temple side, Eli has been mainly involved with solving a way to cure the gravely injured. It was a sight to behold when the people widened their eyes and saw so many elves come with her and willingly cure humans!
"Azayn… thank you so much for your and the Silver Dew Elves' help… we couldn't imagine handling all these patients at once… Now, even Brother Kayden could take a little bit of rest after working nonstop since the preparation." Eli held Azayn's hand and thanked her sincerely.
"It's alright… Paladin…" Azayn teasingly replied. "Of course, we would help especially when it pertains to the security of our kind…"
"Nevertheless, I really thank you! Help me thank grandpa Eirllon too!" Eli replied as they stepped into the laboratory where they found Kayden who was busy creating some batches of potion from the ingredients Eli harvested in the Silver Dew Forest.
"Ah.. you are still not resting?!" Azayn was surprised that Kayden was still working so she started nagging the workaholic Kayden like a typical elder sister.
"C'mon… just a batch of these potions… I can't let the gravely injured wait until their lives are over…" Kayden scratches his head helplessly. There was apparent exhaustion on his face and he even had a strong smell of blood mixed with the antiseptic and medicinal potion.
Eli and Azayn could just imagine how many patients he had to manage during and after the battle, now he was even concocting a large batch of potions to bring to the people who were hit gravely with Empress Carolina's curse.
"Dr. Einz, they are right, we can handle this already… Go and take a rest." Sophia, who was one of the main doctors in the Riverfort Hospital went out of the herb room and overheard the conversation.
"Elder Sister Sophia was right…" Eli also interjected, "Besides, even if the potions were given, it could only solve the problem with the curse, but they still needed medical treatment for their injuries… in which, you will need more energy."
"Sigh… alright…" Being convinced by the three women around him, Kayden could only helplessly sigh and obediently go to his sleeping quarters which were conveniently also in his laboratory.
"Look at him drifting to sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow… Sigh…" Azayn looked at her younger brother pitifully.
"In this fight, his contributions were a lot more valuable than mine. Without his cure potion, the empire would never even dare to start their retaliation. I was even wondering…" Eli looked at Kayden with worry in her eyes.
She knew how hard Kayden worked ever since they took on the task of interrogating Igor and Hasta. She knew that he worked and buried himself in researching nonstop, and even in between, he had to perform such a miraculous operation to pull Antoine from the underworld.
Eli had not even witnessed Kayden take a break during those times.
She looked at him with gratefulness and admiration in her eyes as she continued, "If he was the real subject that the Oracle pertained to…"
"Because everything he did was a catalyst of hope for the Empire to aim for victory."
