There was no confusion or hesitation in her eyes, only complete reliance and trust.
Seeing this, a barely perceptible ripple flashed through Silver Moon Blade's massive dragon eyes. He realized that Her Highness the Princess seemed to rely on this human far more than he had imagined.
Raylo didn't answer immediately. He gently stroked Moonlight's soft fur, his gaze fixed on the dancing campfire as he pondered for a long time. They definitely had to go, but not right now.
"Silver Moon Blade," Raylo slowly began. "Moonlight is my partner. Naturally, her people are my people. I am duty-bound to reunite the Silver Dragon Race and return the Moon Remains to the sky."
Hearing these words, Silver Moon Blade's eyes softened. This human didn't treat Her Highness the Princess as his personal property; he possessed the broad-mindedness and sense of responsibility befitting the title of Guardian.
"However," Raylo's tone shifted, "not right now."
