"What do you mean? Also, where's Evelyn? I need to see her. Is she okay!? Isaiah said I had dragon blood because of her, is that true? Is there a dragon anywhere in Valis? He said he is a disciple of Mimic, who's that?" So many questions poured out of his mouth. He dropped the shadow sword and ran to Leonidas.
"What do you mean? I killed him. I finally got my revenge on him. I've avenged Evelyn."
"Miyuki, you don't understand. Everyone is gonna hear about this, you're gonna become famous, but for bad reasons. The order will find out where you are and come to the kingdom to start a war." Leonidas got up and shrugged dirt from off his white coat.
"You are going to stay at the Pratt domain, heal Evelyn and heal up yourself. You're literally missing a hand." He pointed to Miyuki's wound. "Oh, yeah, forgot about that." Miyuki adrenaline stopped, he fell to his knees.
Miyuki felt odd.
Another burst of energy surged throughout his body. It didn't feel like earlier when his magic came back momentarily. It was different. He felt like his body was being slowly cooked. He cried out in pain as he writhed on the pavement.
"Miyuki?" Leonidas ran over and swiftly picked up the barely-conscious Miyuki. "Don't go the sleep yet, let me finish, it's important. Then we're gonna have to get ready for war. We'll have to awaken the dragon, she lives under the Valis castle." Miyuki snapped back to reality. "A dragon!? That's so fucking cool." He threw his wounded arm into the air.
The pain returned as he slumped back down. "Leonidas, something doesn't feel right." He looked up to him. "You'll be okay, you're probably just feeling the effects of the adrenaline wearing off."
"Okay then, well I'll have to keep that in mind Leon." He couod barely speak. "I'm just gonna... fall... asleep.... just for..... a sec." His head drooped as he lost consciousness. "Oh Miyuki. I hope you're okay. And why did you call me Leon?" He chuckled, and turned around. He then began to run carefully.
He looked down at Miyuki.
"You would make a great knight."
"You should be Evelyn's knight."

"So how am I supposed to repair my wall and floors?" Pratt questioned Leonidas.
"The Josephines will insure you payment for the damages. Thr kingdom will give you workers to fix the problem. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." He sat on a couch in the main hall of the Pratt mansion. Oliver walked around, a finger to his lip, he was thinking.
"So Isaiah was a member of the Black Order? That's interesting. I would have never assumed." He stopped, still with a finger to his lip. "Miyuki has the princess' dragon blood in him? That's also very intriguing. We could use him for the kingdom's benefit."
"He already told me that he would like to join the Royal Knight Command, but I have a new idea for him. I will appoint him as Princess Evelyn's knight. He has a love for her, so I kind of feel like I have to do make him her knight. I'm sure he'll enjoy being by her side."
Oliver sat down on the couch next to Leonidas. "Miyuki isn't from here, isn't he? If so, we should have the Eloise family stay over as well with the rest of the Valis camp. I'm sure he'll need to talk with him, they're the only ones who know how it feels to be somewhere they shouldn't."
He thought for a moment, "Yes Oliver, you're right, they should stay too." Leonidas stood up, as if he was ready to leave. "I'll have to awaken Valis, she hibernates underneath the Valis Castle. I'm not sure if she'll be willing to help us against the Black Order. She hasn't been the same according to the King before he vanished."
"Before you go Leonidas, I'll have to request something from you. Tell the press about Miyuki."
"The people need a hero, Leonidas."

Saukta and Lillith were led to the main hall. On the other end of the room, Oliver still sat on the couch. "I need you two to stay and watch over Miyuki and the princess. You are all in the same royal party so it makes sense for you all to go everywhere together."
"I especially need you to be there for Miyuki, Mr. Eloise. You are the only one who knows how he feels. Talk with him when he awakes, tell him about the plan I am about to discuss with you. Leonidas wanted to tell you himself but he has matters to attend to."
Oliver stood up and stepped over to the two. Sakuta put his arm around Lillih's shoulder. "Okay, I will." She raised her head to Oliver as he got close.
"Is Miyuki going to be okay?" She questioned, with a hint of nervousness.
"I'm sure he is."
