Under the reverent gazes of the crowd, the figure that had descended from the sky slowly became clear—it was Leo Ray, who had lightly leaped down from his horse.
"Leave it to me."
Leo Ray's countenance was gentle, as he nodded with a smile at the middle-aged Soldier Captain.
"At your service, Mr. Lane!"
The middle-aged Soldier Captain clearly hadn't expected Leo Ray to step into the fray personally, let alone that Leo Ray, who wielded supreme authority, would converse so amiably with someone of such lowly status as himself.
Overwhelmed with emotion, the middle-aged Soldier Captain quickly placed his hand across his chest to perform a standard Knight's Ceremony before returning to his original position to continue maintaining order in the crowd.
At this point, the focus of the entire scene once again fell on Leo Ray and the little figure standing before him.
