The drama king overheard Luc's whisper and his ears almost twitched like a dog's. 

He sidled sideways until he reached to where Luc and Leon were standing. "What? You already fell in love?!" the gossip king craned his head to scrutinize Leon's face, trying to determine if what Luc said was true. Then he looked towards where the beauty light fae was and he caught her glancing at Leon with a peculiar look in her eyes.

Raising a brow and crossing his arms around his chest, Levy leaned in sideways to stare at Leon's face again. "Hmm… I think I might have underestimated you, Leon. I just got trapped inside the crystal only for several hours and both of you had already fallen in love with each other?" He commented, acting as though he was about to cry. It was obvious he was just being his usual dramatic and exaggerated self though. "You're one sly fox aren't you, Leon?" he waggled his brows suggestively, nudging at him teasingly. Leon's cheeks had two red spots that were quite noticeable and that caused Levy to guffaw as Luc chuckled at the side.

"You're wrong…" Leon finally spoke but with an obvious difficulty. His face looked pinched as he denied what Levy and Luc were accusing him of. "She's not in love with me." 

Levy and Leon looked at each other and caught the key point in what Leon said. Their grins only widened as they stuck themselves closer to him. They then swung their heads around quickly at the same time and looked over at Zanya – the lady that was currently in discussion. The lovely light fae was still keeping her eyes glued on Leon while Leon kept his gaze stuck on the cold hard ground. 

The duo on his left and right side looked at each other again. And then, shaking their heads, they both simultaneously sighed heavily. Their fellow friend was such a stick in the mud.

Levy tsked, shaking his head disapprovingly while Luc just rolled his eyes in exasperation. He looked at Levy and motioned with his head to deal with the lumbering oaf that was Leon. "You know what, Leon my man? I want to smack you right up the head this instant! She's looking at you even now, man! Her gaze had literally not left your bumbling self since you and Luc were chatting about this earlier." His teasing voice became frustrated. He truly did not know whether to laugh or cry at Leon's hopeless actions in dealing with the issues of the heart. In fact, he wanted to pull out his hair on how awkward these two were with their progress. 

"There's a completely different reason why she's…" all of a sudden, Leon gritted his teeth and his sentence trailed off. It was as though he could not take the agitation anymore, he chose to run away and retreat. "Tell His Highness, I'll be back in a couple of hours." He moved so fast that Levy caught his voice fading off before he could grab onto Leon.

"Wait, where are you going?" Levy shouted after him.

"I'll go find my mother." Leon replied and with that somewhat acceptable excuse thrown out, he was gone. Levy glanced over at Zanya and noticed that her eyes had involuntarily followed after the departing figure of Leon.

"Man. What's his problem?" Levy asked, not liking the way Leon had responded. He used to just ignore him when he was trying to tease him. Leon never walks away no matter what he was saying. However, this time, his responses were through the roof. And that look and tenseness he was exuding was absolutely so unlike him compared to how he usually acted in the past. 

Luc could not respond to Levy as everyone were now gathered, except for Leon who had left and disappeared. He did not want to speak of a matter where Leon himself was not comfortable discussing about. It was not right of him to air a friend's personal matter as he had no approval from the person himself. This matter would have to wait until Leon gets back.

"We saw that the vampires are coming back," a light fae who had just come back from a patrol reported. 

"Yes, we have found most of the fleeing vampires who were still within the south forest, and we have told them that the beasts had all been defeated now." Samuel added. "However, we are not quite certain if it's alright for everyone to return now. So, we have yet to send out the signal for them to return."

"It's alright for them to come back now." Gavriel gave out his approval on the matter. "The war is already over."

"But Your Highness," Zolan piped in, "how about the dragon… I mean Onyx? What if he returns later and…" He trailed off when he saw the change in the princess' expression. He did not mean to pick on Onyx or hurt the princess' feelings. But important matters such as this must be discussed with the prince.

Everyone fell silent after hearing Zolan's question. It was the very same question that was plaguing everyone's mind. It was just that they were a little hesitant and did not want to ask it while the princess was still there. They all saw how Onyx was before it flew away. He had drawn out all of the darkness from their prince, that immense and seemingly unrivalled dark magic. They all know that there was the possibility of the great dragon returning and then, due to the dark magic in him, it very possibly would make him attack them. And that was why none of them dared to think that the war is already over and that they were allowed to relax and put down their guards now. 

"Onyx will not return any time soon." Gavriel said, causing everyone to look at him with either curious or surprised eyes.. How was the prince speaking about this so confidently? Did he have some kind of insider's knowledge on the matter? Even Evie herself, stared at him as she wondered why he sounded so certain that Onyx will not be coming back soon.
