Max had never been this tired.
The carriage rolled slowly along the road leading to Eldoria Castle while the group watched the walls in the distance.
They had taken longer than expected to return.
Not because they had found more summoned beings.
But because Moonlight had discovered a lost little girl crying in the middle of the forest.
And nobody had been able to tell her no when she asked to help.
Now, after escorting the child back to her family in a small village, they were finally returning.
Neros sighed.
"I hope the wedding is still happening."
Seraphine smiled.
"If not, I know a princess who'll turn you into a frog for being late."
"That would be an abuse of power."
Neros replied.
Moonlight laughed from her seat.
Max smiled.
Everything had worked out.
And in just a few hours...
He would be getting married.
***
The moment they passed through the castle gates, Max separated from the group.
He didn't even stop by his room.
Nor the dining hall.
