Chapter 105: War preparation: The wolves of Acalarah

During that one whole month of preparation to go to war, Leon hardly saw Maia, not since he confessed his feelings for her. One day, he goes to see the headmaster to inquire where Maia is, as she had not served in the palace for about two weeks since he last saw her… "Your highness…. Maia has requested leave for about 2 months, of which I approved it as she has been working very hard, she needs the rest, your Majesty… poor girl almost works night and day, she needs to recover her health" The head master advised the king, "Yes, of course… how…is her health…." Leon asked concerned, to which the headmaster responded softy, "just…. Needed to rest as she has been under a lot of stress lately, your Majesty…." The headmaster advised the king, bowed and walked off to continue his work. Leon stood there for a moment in silence.
