Seeing Drayce remain in a daze despite the silver-haired elf being long gone, Slayer called for him. "Your Majesty, shall we head back? Dawn is breaking."
Drayce briefly closed his eyes before nodding. He then looked at Aureus who offered him a light nod as he stretched his wings behind him, leaving the King and his guardian knight by themselves in the still dark forest.
After taking one last look at their surroundings, Drayce put a hand on Slayer's shoulder and both of them disappeared from the forest. They appeared in front of the Crystal Palace in just a few moments.
Drayce patted Slayer's shoulder as he eyed the quiet lake. "Make sure to rest. After teleporting twice and staying awake for an entire night, your body must be exhausted."
"I will." Slayer bowed to him. "Good night, Your Majesty."
"Good night," Drayce replied and left to go back to his wife.
