Leandro's ruby lips twisted in a sad smile. His heart beat seemed to slow down.
He knew how difficult Aisha could be feeling right now. He would be devastated himself if that happened to Gaea.
At least, he did not have to worry about her leaving the island now.
"There aren't any Nagaes here, right, your Majesty?" Aisha curiously asked as she lifted her skirts, so she could see where she was walking.
With her eyebrows furrowed in concentration, she was trying to trace his footsteps like something would come out of the ground and grab her if she did not.
His amaranthine eyes twinkled at her innocent gestures.
He was showing Aisha the unfortunate state of her land through the Lake of Visum when a Nagae tried to attack her. Fortunately, Leandro saw him first.
Leandro looked around the uneven ground. There were fallen trees covered in moss, bark fragments, dead leaves, and pine cones tangled in tall grasses.
