Ava blushed. Leon took a deep breath as he sat back in his seat, "Don't try and run away while we leave Northland… when we get back to my Kingdom of Acalarah… if you wish to stay and serve me, you are free to do so… we have the best servants in the palace back home, or you can choose to go free and start a new life…but you must serve me for a short time so we can put it in the registry for our records at Acalarah… I hope you won't mind?" Leon asked her.
When Ava heard this, she was more than thrilled. "Your Majesty…. Are you saying… I can be free?" Ava teared unbelievably. Leon smiled and nodded yes, "Yes…. But you must serve me for a short time and then after that, you will be free to go…" Leon told her.
"My lord…. I pledge my life to you….I am forever in your debt… Do with me as you will….." she bowed to him. "Don't do that… because I want you to start a new life for yourself and Acalarah will welcome you…." Leon smiled at her tenderly.
