Leo walked back to the house. When he entered it, the house just seemed empty. Daphne hadn't taken a lot of stuff with her, but now that the house only housed one occupant, it felt very hollow. By leaving, she took away the life from the house with her.
Even though he hadn't talked with her a lot while she was there, just knowing that she was there was enough for him. But now that she was gone, he didn't know what to do all of a sudden. After sitting on the couch for a while, he realized what his new goal was.
He would just have to become strong enough to ignore the strength of the family that Daphne belonged to. So what if it was a Duke family? He had a tome. If the Whitmore family had an 8th Circle Mage, he would become a 9th Star Mage.
