Jacob and Alice stood up from where they sat, glancing at Legolas from afar. The dispirited look in their eyes was evident as they were hesitant to approach Legolas; especially after Jacob's outburst.
"Seriously guys?"
Angelica stood behind them both, bonking their heads.
"On with it, you two!"
They held their scalps in pain, huffing deep sighs.
"Alright—I'm going." Jacob was the first to approach the elf as Alice followed behind him, visibly upset.
"Me too."
Legolas stood in front of me, bowing in respect, and thanking me for the chance to start a new life far away from his friends.
"Thank you, my Lord! I thank you for saving us, and I thank you for giving me another chance! I can't help but admire you and Angelica greatly!"
"Dude, chill."
Shit.
My voice just now—that was me talking—not Emperor.
It just came out of nowhere, and I couldn't control it.
