Leo felt that maybe now he can move. He can do the thing he was supposed to do from the first moment he decided to go to the nearby village.
The decision had come to his mind for some purpose. He's had one purpose in his heart since he decided to get out of the royal palace.
That goal was simply to find the girl his horse hit. That girl who passed out right away.
And at that moment he saw in her face the thing he was looking for at his entire age. He doesn't know what the name of this is. But he can tell. He understands that.
Now luck gives him another chance. An easy opportunity he didn't seek. It's the one he gave him. See the girl again. He's seeing her now. Meet her in the woods again. He has to act.
He won't be a coward or a person as soon as his brother accuses him. He's not gonna have those discussions alone and with himself he's gonna turn to her right away and tell her he loves her.
