Half of an hour later. A group of three could be seen leaving the Golden Spoon; naturally, it was the Asmar's siblings leaving after talking to Alex.

''Damn, damnit. He was acting all cocky just because he became a little stronger than me. And his woman was looking down on me. How dare her, I will teach her a lesson later she will never forget.'' Kevin keep cursing.

Camilla's face turned dark, and her body started radiating heat.

''Kevin, you better shut up, or else I'll make you do it.''

Immediately, Kevin stopped as he could feel his sister's anger; she was so angry that she called directly by his name. He will be beaten if he continues acting stubbornly. Currently, Camilla was stronger than him, one step away from the Saint Realm.

''It's why you will never surpass him. All you do is complain instead of trying to work harder to catch up. I wonder how my brother can become so dumb.'' Camilla sighed, and the group continued toward their mansion.

''Big brother Lus what do you think about what Alex said?"

En route, Camilla suddenly asked Dodolus after recalling the conversation they had with Alex a few minutes ago.

''I think he knows something. Even if all he said was he encountered Leonardo in Exodus, they fought together to slay an enemy. My hunch is that he knows more than he said.'' Unexpectedly Dodolus was able to tell that Alex was lying, that he knew more than he said.

''You are right. I also thought that. I keep feeling that those two are scheming something together because it was too weird that Leonardo escaped a few days after Alex's visit. That night I wondered what really happened between them. Hopefully, Leonardo is not doing anything dangerous. I'm tired; why would I suffer for an asshole that left me without saying anything? Why did he do that? Why? Why?"

Camilla broke down; tears poured out of her eyes; she felt abandoned by the man she loved. She searched for him for months, yet she could not even locate him; all she knew was he was alive, doing something.

Kevin bit his lips in frustration; if only he were stronger, he would have beat some sense into Leonardo, stopping him from making his sister suffer; however, he was weak, a coward who only knew how to blame others for his shortcomings.

'I need to change; even if not for me, I must do it for my little sister. She has suffered enough.'

Kevin secretly vowed to change, to become stronger for his sister's sake, to protect her.

''You did all these things because of love. Love is wonderful yet painful. Don't worry; I'm sure he will eventually come back; we need to be prepared when he comes back; we will ask him for an explanation after I beat him. So, give him another chance, don't give up on him even after what he did.'' Dodolus comforted his sister.

''I understand. Let's go back and rest for a few days before raiding dungeons.'' Camilla declared after calming down. Both Dodolus and Kevin nodded; it was exactly what they wanted to do.

''Why do you invited them? It was because you feel pity toward them?" Alex asked as they were leaving the restaurant.

''Yes, you can say that. As a woman, I can understand how miserable Camilla felt. I did this just to give her hope. I hope you don't mind."

''Not all. It's time to contact Leonardo and ask him if he has found something. If he hasn't, I must change the plan. Things will become troublesome soon. Besides, I might get the answers I want once Incursio wakes up.''

''I see. I would like to see her.'' Sera, who had heard about Incursio, said.

''Don't worry, you will, but first, why don't we enjoy our date?" Alex offered his hand.

''Sure, let's go.'' Sera smiled and took it before they disappeared.

They mutually decided to omit the shopping part.

What was left was sightseeing; they quietly walked together, hand in hand, through different parts of the center zone and admired the different views the city had to offer.

During all those moments, Sera would tell Alex an anecdote, and he would with a smile, his eyes filled with interest as he silently urged her to continue.

In her twenty-three years of living, it was the first time that Sera felt such a giddy feeling in her chest. The way Alex was acting made her happy. Has a man ever treated her like she was the only one who really mattered in his eyes? Never. He acted as if nothing else mattered right now except for her; when he stared into those beautiful heterochromia eyes, all she could see was her, her alone; there was no one else at the moment. This left Sera feeling extremely loved, wanting more of this blissful feeling.

Finally, the couple stopped.

They were now seated on a bench in a park. The shade of the trees in the surroundings protected against the sun, and even without that, the currently mild weather gave a pleasant wind that calmed the mind.

The two of them were holding little boxes filled with ice cream.

''Everything looks peaceful right now. I hope this peace will last longer.'' Alex mumbled while feeding Sera an ice cream, and once he was done, she did the same thing to him.

''I hope too,'' Sera said while leaning towards Alex, who stopped her.

''Let's do this instead.'' Alex proposed to give the confused Sera a lap pillow. Facing this unexpected proposal, she smiled before lying on his thighs.

Sera stared at the birds flying around them and singing. She forgot about everything; the only thing that mattered right now was the peace she was feeling. She wished she could stay like this forever, just the two of them, not worrying about anything, spending time together, but unfortunately, they couldn't do that.

Slowly the accumulated fatigue took over, and Sera closed her eyes and decided to take a short nap.

''I guess she must be exhausted. Well, I will let her rest for a bit. Too bad I don't have a smartphone, or else I would have taken a picture of her sleeping face. She is adorable.''

As he watches Sera sleeping contentedly with eyes filled with affection, he couldn't help but move away from the few strands of hair overlapping her face behind her ears and give her a soft peck on the forehead. He was blessed to have so many women that loved him. Once more, he vowed to protect them.
