"What are you saying!? He's the Fated One!?"
Both of them turned to Leon, their faces filled with astonishment and confusion.
Elisa nodded slowly, a faint smile on her lips. "Yes, he is the Fated One. I just remembered... Mother told us the Fated One had arrived a week ago. The person she was referring to—it was him."
Her words stirred Syra and Sia's memories. The Fairy Queen had indeed mentioned that the Fated One had reached the Emerald Palace and reminded them to welcome him when he arrived.
And now, that man stood before them—right in their territory. The realization filled them with shame.
After all, they had just questioned him and treated him rudely.
Without hesitation, both bowed their heads respectfully to Leon.
"Welcome to the land of the fairies, Fated One. We apologize for our rudeness. We hope you won't take it to heart."
Their expressions were solemn and respectful, but anyone observant could see the unease and anxiety behind their eyes.
