Four days later, Rukelion was in the middle of sparring against a Black Dragon soldier named Kirk when he heard the most beautiful sound in the world. The nickname he had chosen for himself out of necessity but had come to love because of the way a certain someone said it.
"Leo!"
He looked up stunned and that gave Kirk an opening to attack. Completely out of reflex, he managed to flip his opponent onto the ground. It seemed his desire not to embarrass himself in front of Daisy had somehow overpowered his shock in a split second.
Everyone laughed and began catcalling both Kirk (for being beaten by a distracted opponent) and Rukelion (for winning using the power of love) but he blocked them out as he dropped his sword and rushed forward to seize the woman he loved in a hug and spin her around. She giggled breathlessly as she held onto his neck.
"It's good to see you too but you're making me dizzy!"
