"Your Majesty, I am glad to see you are getting better." The King of Tredo smiled at her, looking so sincere and relieved that Ruby had finally awakened from her long sleep.
Loreina handed Ruby a basket of fresh fruit and took her hand. "You don't know how worried I was when I saw you both unconscious after returning from the Hali Ocean. I even thought you wouldn't wake up, but look at you now, as fresh as an apple."
Although Ruby knew that Brandyn and Loreina were sincere people, she also believed that they were acting that way because Matthew and Ruby had managed to remove the Golden Dragon from the Hali Ocean, though not by killing it.
Except for the important parties in Veritas and Tredo, no one else knew that the greatest threat in the Hali Ocean had disappeared, so Brandyn would have no business competition for a while.
