(The Next Day, The Eternal Garden, Leo's POV)
The next day, while Leo sat peacefully upon the cliffs of the Eternal Garden overlooking the serene ocean below, Shadow Number One quietly approached him from behind carrying a sealed report within his hands, as the unusually grim expression visible across the Shadow's face immediately made Leo realize that something unpleasant had happened once again.
For several moments, Shadow Number One remained silent while extending the report toward Leo respectfully, as even without opening it yet, Leo could already sense that whatever information rested inside had deeply disturbed the man standing before him.
"What happened, eh?
What is it this time?"
Leo muttered while finally accepting the report calmly, as Shadow Number One lowered his head slightly before replying.
"My Lord…
The report contains a message from the Deceiver Mauriss."
Shadow Number One informed as Leo's eyes narrowed faintly hearing those words.
