(Author's Note: These chapters are for the last 2 days, hehehe... The update for today would be this night! Really sorry for the late update, I was out in a place with no connection.)

As soon as Leo entered White River City, he had already thought of a really convenient and possible place for Cassandra and the others to hide.

'The branch of Sword and Magic in White River city!'

With Angel in the group, the female personal assistant of Madam Silva, the Head of all the branches of Sword and Magic at Silver Kingdom, obviously the former would suggest for everyone to stay at Sword and Magic, and wait there for Leo's arrival.

With those thoughts in mind, Leo, without any hesitation, quickly went to White River city branch of Sword and Magic.

Fortunately, there were still some public carriages that could take Leo at Sword and Magic, despite it being really early in the morning. Arriving at the branch, he paid the chauffeur before getting inside.

Just like what Leo had expected. As soon as he arrived inside, he quickly spotted a beautiful woman standing near the entrance, seeming as if waiting for someone's arrival.

Obviously, this woman was Cassandra. She was just standing near the entrance, looking at the door from time to time.

As soon as Leo got inside, Cassandra was turning her head away from the door.

He quickly thought of an idea!

Quickly, he moved forward before she notices his existence. The moment he arrived behind her, it was also the moment she slowly turns her head towards the door, hence he kept on moving behind her back.

Slowly moving closer, Leo suddenly covered Cassandra's eyes with his right hand before suddenly pulling her body close to him using his left hand.

"Don't move or else you're dead!" Leo silently whispered to Cassandra's ears, using a different voice, obviously trying to hide his real voice.

However, contrary to what Leo had expected that Cassandra would do, which was to nod her head and follow his order, she suddenly turned her whole body to face his.

"Even if you disguise your voice, I will still be able to know that it's you!" Cassandra suddenly said, her eyes now looking straight to Leo's eyes.

Leo could only shake his head helplessly. He had actually forgotten that the Blood Contract could allow the people that had signed it to know about their existence once their presence is nearby the other. This function was added so that the slave could not hide from their master and vice versa.

It was through the Blood Contract that Cassandra noticed that Leo had arrived in White River City. To be honest, when he got inside the city, she suddenly woke up from her sleep and quickly understood that he was coming. So, she went downstairs and waited at the door. Waiting for her Master's return to her side!

"You got me, hehehe!" Leo said before raising two of his hand to the air. Since he was already caught red-handed by Cassandra, hence he could only raise his hand to express his surrender.

"Stupid!" Cassandra said before she suddenly rests her body on Leo's chest. She was really worried about him. After separating from each other to save their lives from the Magical Knight, she was always worried about his well-being. Fortunately, she was tied to him through a Blood Contract. So, she always knew that he was still alive, and was at the moment doing everything to return back to her.

Leo was almost taken aback by Cassandra's reaction. He had not expected that she would suddenly rest her body on his chest. Of course, even though he hadn't expected such action, he was still able to reply with an embrace.

Leo could obviously understand what Cassandra was feeling for her to do such a thing. She only has him to rely on her current life. Without him, she might no longer know what to do next. And also, she might lose her way on the path that she was fated to walk without his help by her side.

What Leo had thought was indeed right! Cassandra only had him to rely on. The Crimson Rose Kingdom that her parents built to protect her fellowmen had already abandoned her, all of her family and those people loyal to her were already dead, and those ashes that were spread by the Leo through the air was constantly crying in her dreams every night to save their family from the imminent destruction due to General Ciper Vrayn leadership in the Crimson Rose Kingdom.

Leo quietly embraced Cassandra, while the latter rested her body on his chest, comfortably and seemingly feeling safe from worry.

Looking from afar, it was almost like the two being together, though not a couple, yet, was the most peaceful place in the entire Celestial World. It could also somewhat be described as; even if the world is ending, the two would not care as long as they are with each other, or something of the likes...

"Ehem!" Angel suddenly interrupted from behind. Pulling the two back to their senses.

Leo and Cassandra quickly separated from each other, both showing a face of embarrassment.

"I hate to break the loving couple who are missing each other's presence, but we still have a mission to complete. Please sleep early, so that we can leave in the afternoon!" Angel said before turning her body and walking further from Leo and Cassandra.

Leo and Cassandra could only look at each other before suddenly laughing.

.....

Leo woke up due to the light from the sun hitting his face. Quickly looking around, he soon realized that it was already midafternoon.

Early dawn, Leo and Cassandra talked with each other about his adventure inside the Yellow Forest. About the Magical Knight, the fight between Two Star Magical Beast, the sudden inspiration, the finding of the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs, and the really dangerous encounter with the 5 Two-Horned Beast when he was following behind a pack of Yellow Fur Wolf.

The talk only finished when the time was already mid-morning, exactly around the time when Angel came down once again to interrupt Leo and Cassandra and make them sleep. The two could only comply. Although they still wanted to talk with each other, but since they were still doing a really important mission right now, hence they could only follow.

Standing up from his bed, Leo quickly went to the bathroom to take a bath. After finishing all his morning routines, he went downstairs to meet with everyone.

Leo and the others were currently staying in the room at White River city branch of Sword and Magic. If it was him who had come here, he might be denied access to such rooms. Fortunately, Angel was with them, so they were given the rooms without any further problems.

"Yow, did everyone sleep well last night?" Leo greeted everyone as soon as he reached downstairs.

Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, and Veronica were gathering around a table, eating their lunch when Leo arrived downstairs. The four quickly turned their attention towards him, and let out a nod and a smile, before returning to their conversation.

Leo's arrival was like when the husband of the house arrived downstairs and found four of his very beautiful wives sitting around a table while talking with each other. He would then arrive beside them and give them a hug and kiss each to the red lips of the four beautiful women. Such a scene could have been the case, but too bad it wasn't...

The place that Cassandra and the others were currently eating at was the canteen of Sword and Magic. So, when Leo asked whether they slept well, not only the four girls replied to him but also all the staffs of the White River city branch of Sword and Magic.

"Yes we did, young man, hahahaha!"

"Ohhh, it's actually the man who made the four beauties wait for him!"

"Who? That guy! He had actually made our beautiful Angel wait?!"

"Not only Angel, you idiot! But all those four beautiful girls sitting at that table!"

"F*ck! If I was him, even if I was in the South Fortress, I would still rush back using one hundred horses just to meet back with those four beauties! So lucky.....!"

"..."

Leo near the stairs could only scratch his head in embarrassment. He really didn't think that the place was actually a canteen. After all, when he came down, he only saw the four girls since it was like a spotlight was shining at them due to their beautiful face and sexy body.

Quickly, Leo went to their table and sat on the chair.

"Ohhh, someone... or everyone, had actually embarrassed the great protector of Cassandra?" Elizabeth said at the side, obviously mocking Leo's embarrassing state.

"Hahahaha, I didn't know that my escort, sir Leo, was actually such a funny guy!" Veronica laughed at the side before gracefully eating a pork steak.

"You lack such a basic observation skill, yet Madam Silva had actually put importance to you? If I was her, I would have thrown you away to a trash bin, and let your Fiancée kill you!" Angel silently said to herself.

However, Leo had clearly heard what Angel said, and had quickly made a reply in his head. "That is the reason why you're only a secretary! You lack insight, you lack wisdom, you lack...."

"Don't mind them, just come and eat!" Cassandra said, interrupting Leo from his thoughts while also motioning him to start eating his breakfast.

Leo's face lit up brightly. Fortunately, he has Cassandra that will always be there to understand him.

Quickly, Leo began eating his meal and had already forgotten about what just happened.
