Chapter 328 - See You Soon

Chapter 328 - See You Soon

However, their desire to aid their prince was still a little stronger. The thought that their prince being away at war right now and they were here, just waiting and sitting on their behinds, was something they could not swallow. Therefore, they had discussed and decided on wanting to go aid their prince in the war, real bad. Even if he might not need them, at least they wanted to fight alongside with him this time. They just could not bear the thoughts of letting him fight all by himself again.

And besides, they thought that the light faes were truly the ones who could protect the princess. They could see their extreme loyalty to their queen. They knew that like them, these light faes are fully willing to give up their lives for her if the need ever arises. At first, they thought that it was still too early to trust the light faes too much, but they knew in their hearts that these creatures were loyal. They did not know if their seemingly extreme loyalty was something like an inborn instinct to them but one look, and they could tell that these light faes will do anything for their queen – including dying for her.

That was why Evie's men were not worried about leaving her behind with the light faes. They were just a little sad that she would not be able to go along with them.

"Please let us go, princess. Just think of us as the first batch of reinforcements you send to aid your husband. You'll follow suit very quickly anyway, right?" Zolan coaxed Evie at the sight of her emotional face that seemed as though she wanted to voice out a protest. "If it makes you feel better, we can leave Leon behind to accompany and watch over you."

Leon's eyes widened at what he heard as he opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he snapped it shut quickly. However, Evie saw how Leon responded and he looked as though he was the one who wanted to protest now. His eyes caught Evie's gaze and he turned a little pale, as if he realized she had read his thoughts.

Suddenly, he approached them, and Leon bowed in apology. "I-it's definitely not because I don't want to protect you anymore, Princess. I also don't want to leave you behind but… but –" Leon stammered as he tried to say what was in his mind as nicely as possible.

"I understand, Leon." Evie cut him off and a sad but gentle smile curved on her face. "I understand. I don't want to let any of you go without me… but you are right. Gav needs all of you with him now." She said and then she called for the rest of the vampires to approach.

When everyone was before her, she looked at each one of them. Seeing their faces and the look in their eyes, Evie realized how hard this decision must have been for them to decide on. And her heart swelled at the same time as she felt saddened by it. This would be the first time in a long while that these men would not be with her or close to her. It surprised her how much they have all became so dear to her now.

"You don't have to apologize to me, Leon. I will let you all go…" She smiled at the half blood then she looked at all of them. "But with one condition."

The men waited for Evie to state her requirement.

"You all must be safe until I get there too. Deal?" Evie smiled at them helplessly as she stated her condition.

The men smiled wide as some of them laughed. "Of course, princess. Don't worry about us. We'll make sure to stay alive and kicking until then." Levy grinned and everyone nodded.

"The truth is I think this is the best move we could do for now. However…" Evie paused and her face became serious. "I need you all to be safe. Do not worry about me now. Worry about yourselves and your safety. Aid your prince but don't be too reckless…" she paused again. "I will not forgive anyone who fail to protect themselves, understand? Your safety is the most important."

"Understood, Your Highness."

Evie looked at Zolan and then to Samuel and a wordless conversation seemed to have passed on between them.

Samuel bowed. "Rest assured princess, I will watch over them."

"Thank you." Evie smiled and then suddenly, she reached out her hand and put her palm over their chests one by one. A warm glow entered their bodies when Evie touched them.

"What is this?" Reed asked.

"Just a little protection spell I've cast for all of you." Evie said. Then she stepped back and looked at them again. "I will see you all soon."

"Yes, princess. But don't forget what I told you… don't be too hard to yourself." Zolan reminded her and Evie smiled slightly.

"I won't." Evie gave a gentle wave at the men as they stepped back and bowed at her.

"Well then, we're going." They said and Evie nodded.

The men looked at the light faes and Levy shamelessly shouted at them. "We'll go ahead. Take care of the princess while we're gone or else –"

"We will take good care of her even without you asking us to do so, vampire." One of the light faes retorted followed by a snort and Levy smirked.

"Good. That's how you should respond. Well, then, see you soon everyone!" he winked at the ladies before blowing a few flying kisses at them. They could only roll their eyes at his flirty actions. But when his gaze fell to Evie, his mischievous smile faded and only saluted her seriously.

Then all the vampires turned around, single file and bowed their heads at Evie before speedily turning around and crossed the barrier as Evie watched them all disappear.
