Double-Faced cowardly King

Celestia's POV:

Cynthia grunted just like she did whenever she saw me. And I continued to ignore her as usual and laid my eyes on Theo. Just like Cynthia, he didn't seem to be very happy about my arrival either. 

"Is it true what I heard? Are you planning to go to the Shadow realm alone?" I asked him directly. 

"Yes," he answered swiftly and surprised me. 

Why is he so keen on facing the Demon Princess alone? He is the King of the Lowlands now. And he has got thousands of Demonic warriors under his control. But still, wants to face Lilin alone? 

I tightened my grip around the scroll that was in my hand. Perhaps Theo will change his mind once he gets to know about the message that my father has sent.

"Theo," I said and gave my scroll to him. "My father wants to unite with you. Read this!"
