Meanwhile, Maia and Lilly are doing the laundry in the washing area of the palace.
"Lilly, Maia, the King has requested your presence in the headmaster servants' quarters" the messenger said. "Oh the King has returned!" Lilly said in excitement.
Maia's heart fluttered when she heard that the King had returned home safely. "Leon…" she thought. "Come on, lets go" Maia said conservatively.
When Lilly and Maia enter the servant quarters, "Ahh, miss Lilly, Maia…" the head master said. "his highness requested us?" Lilly asked, as they turned and saw Leon just behind the door with Ava,
"Highness!" both girls grasped in joy to see their King, as they bowed, "welcome home!" they said with joy.
