The Pegasi descended onto the grass, and Sir Leopold was already before them the instant they landed.
"Princess Elfie, are you okay?"
Was the first question he asked as Ryuk passed the princess in his arms to his.
"I'm fine, Sir Leopald," Elfie said, irritation returning—mostly from having to go away from his warmth.
But when Ryuk looked at Sir Leopald's face, he could see fear in the man's eyes as he scanned every inch of Elfie's outer body before he commanded:
"Coachman Percival?"
"Yes, Sir Leopald."
"Lead Mr. Ryuk to the family's guest room."
"I'll be with you soon, Mr. Ryuk," he said, and an instant later, he was gone, rushing back into the Royal House with Elfie in his arms.
"Why does he seem like he would die all of a sudden?" Ryuk couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
Footsteps drew closer behind him—it was none other than Coachman Percival.
He watched as the coachman glanced in Sir Leopold's direction before turning to him with a low voice.
