When Leo Woke Up , he found himself sleeping on Alice''s Lap , The arena was empty—everyone had left except for them both .And the prize was taken—the only thing left was the broken cage.


    "You''re awake!! are you fine??" Alice said with concern her head met Leo''s head


    "Ah.. my head ."Leo regained his consciousness


    "Where am i ?...ah i see.. " Leo covered his eyes as he''s frustrated from that lose


    "Thank god ..Leo I THOUGHT YOU DIED!! " Alice started crying


    "Don''t exaggerate, I''m still alive and stop crying, you''re getting my face wet.""


    "Anyways.. let''s get out of here ''''


    Leo was exhausted, barely able to speak or even move.


    In order to rest, Leo and Alice went back to the same place where they had spent their nights.


    As they were walking through the village''s streets they saw an old man staring at them with curious look  , he was staring at Alice especially..


    "Is it my imagination? " the old man was wondered and confused


    "Is the letter ... Has it been inherited?" He looked at her as if he recognized something hidden beneath the surface


    "Ew! what a weird old man !!" Alice replied with a smirk smile


    "Is that poor fellow rambling?" shes asked starting to tease that old man


    "A-Alice'' stop!" Leo grabbed Alice''s hands


    "Sorry, sir. She''s a bit of a naughty girl." Leo apologized, bowed to the old man, and gently pressed Alice head down, making her bow as well.


    "Eeee!? Naughty?!" Alice turned and yelled at him


    There''s something wrong with that little girl And how on earth did that boy end up with that sword?! the old man kept watching Leo And Alice As they fading from his gaze


    As Leo and Alice are in their way ,They found a gang of bandits mercilessly beating a street girl, her clothes was messy and she was grabbing a bag and they intended to steal it from her


    "Leave me alone, you creep!"  the street girl yelled


    The robbers burst into laughter. One of them grabbed her by her clothes with a wicked grin. "How about we take something else instead?"


    No one of the villagers payed attention , but Leo and Alice did


    Alice kept staring, waiting to see if Leo was going to do something.


    "Stop! three of you !" Leo shouted at them with a serious tone


    The bandits stopped, and started to laugh at Leo


    "What can you do little brat? "" one of the bandits approached him


    "I said stop " Leo, with a quiet tone, he unsheathed the sword from his back The sword obscured his face, leaving only his eyes visible , His eyes were staring directly at the bandit.


    "What in the world?!" he gasped. How could he even hold that sword?


    Leo swung his sword, and a powerful wind rushed toward the bandits


    "Well, that’s totally normal... NOT" Alice  was impressed by Leo''s raw power, the wind reached her too


    One of the bandits stole a necklace from the street girl


    This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    Leo charged straight at the necklace thief, at full speed to get that necklace back


    unfortunately he couldn''t catch him ,  the bandit was too fast and Leo''s huge sword is making his movements slower


    The bandits thought they had escaped—until they saw Alice standing right in front of them. Before they could react, they all collapsed


    Leo pushed himself to the limit, finally catching up—but Alice was already there


    "You will regret it boy!!! you ... and those who are with you !"


    The bandits threw the necklace and fled


    "How did you get here before me?" Leo asked in disbelief


    "Eh... I was... running as well...heheh.." she huffed between exaggerated breaths, acting way more exhausted than she should be


    "You''re too energetic aren''t you ?" A single bead of sweat rolled down Leo''s forehead , he wipes it .


    He grabbed the necklace and walked toward the street girl


    ''Nice necklace ,here take it.. ''Leo hands the necklace to the street girl


    "T-Thanks ...  Leo ""


    "How did you know my name ?!.. did we met somewhere?" Leo''s eyes widen


    "you''re famous mister hero didn''t you know that "" Alice started to laugh


    The street girl didn''t reply , as she realized that its too risky to continue


    "The more important thing... You seem too messy. Come with us, we have food." he insisted for the girl to come with them


    "Yeah that food ,you don''t even help me getting it " Alice said playfully poking Leo''s leg


    The street girl smiled and felt grateful for Leo''s kindness... and felt a big regret too...


    When Leo, Alice , and the street girl reached the resting place, they collapsed into sleep right away. The trio was completely exhausted—and the night had already fallen


    Early in the morning, Leo woke up before the others to swim in the river after the chaos  of the tournament. Alice was talking in her sleep , and the street girl was already awake. She watched as Leo was cleaning himself, noticing the bruises on his body


    "T...That’s terrible" she whispered


    The Street Girl waited until Leo finish swimming , as she wanted to tell him something important


    "E-Excuse me .....Leo .. "she muttered , fearfully


    "How’s it going?, "If you''re looking to swim, the river is all yours, You seem like you need a good wash after all "  "" Leo was drying his hair while talking


    "I wanted to confess something to you" the street girl avoided eye contact with him while talking, her cheeks turning red as she clutched her chest.


    "SHE LOVES YOU!!" Alice yelled from the other side


    They were abruptly interrupted and immediately turned to her.


    "That girl energetic even in her dreams" Leo said , pressing a hand to his forehead


    "Ugh? Can you just talk?" he sighed,


    "Leo..Didn''t you realize how i know your name ''''..  She was clutching her hands, looking away.


    "No '' does it matter anyways ?" Leo said carelessly


    The girl finally looked into his eyes and said


    I am Emma, Richard''s Daughter
