Gabriel met Leonardo's steady gaze, and a quiet sense of pride filled his heart.
Leonardo couldn't wait to share the news with Veronica. He asked Gabriel for leave and headed straight back to the Holland residence.
Veronica had been lost in the story Chase was telling, the wild and fantastical plot lines momentarily pulling her away from the quiet stillness around them. But a familiar voice suddenly broke through that calm, catching her off guard. "Mistress."
She knew that voice in an instant. It was Leonardo's. She turned her head, and there he was—Leonardo, walking toward her. For a moment, she felt dazed, like her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Chase noticed something too. He paused mid-story and glanced over at her, confused. "Did I just hear Leonardo?" His voice held a hint of uncertainty.
Veronica nodded, her face lighting up with joy. "It's him." A rush of excitement rose in her chest, as if some part of her was already reaching forward to meet him again.
It wasn't until Leonardo walked right up to them that they fully registered it was really him. He was dressed in uniform, standing tall and sharp, a confident smile playing on his lips.
Veronica stepped forward, beaming, "Leonardo, you're back." Her voice carried both joy and excitement.
Leonardo strode up and pulled her into a tight hug. His voice was steady, filled with gratitude and pride. "Mistress, I didn't let you down. I earned my military merit."
Surprised, Veronica lit up, her joy spilling over. "Leonardo, I knew you had it in you." Pride shone in her eyes, like she was looking at a warrior she had helped shape.
She still remembered the first time they met—back when Leonardo had been a semi-beastman who teared up just because she showed him a little kindness. And now, he was a soldier who could fight on the front lines.
Chase was still bitter about Leonardo bonding with Veronica behind his back, but even he had to admit—what Leonardo had achieved was impressive.
He muttered awkwardly, "Congrats or whatever. But don't get too full of yourself—it only happened because I wasn't there. If I had gone, you wouldn't have stood a chance." There was a touch of defiance in his voice, but more than that, it was recognition.
It had been a while since the three of them were together. Leonardo started telling them everything he'd seen and experienced in the military.
His voice brimmed with energy and pride, as if he were unfolding the entire life of the military right in front of them.
Chase listened, completely drawn in, like he could already feel himself standing in that world of ambition and glory.
He had already made up his mind—he was going to enlist. No way was he going to let Leonardo leave him in the dust.
Night fell, and the entire castle settled into a quiet stillness.
Veronica had just finished getting ready for bed. She sat at the edge of the mattress, calm and unhurried, the moonlight outside casting a soft glow across her face, lending her an air of quiet peace.
Just then, a gentle knock at the door broke the silence.
She paused, then said softly, "Come in."
The door slowly opened, and a familiar figure stepped into view. It was Leonardo, dressed in his uniform, looking sharp and composed, though there was a quiet heaviness to him tonight.
This was the first time he had ever knocked on Veronica's door, and the gesture caught her slightly off guard.
"Mistress, I'm heading back to the army soon," Leonardo said, his voice low and steady, like he was here to say goodbye.
At that, a soft ache of reluctance rose in her. "So soon?" she murmured.
"Leonardo, I know you have great ambitions and convictions," she said gently. "I'll always support you, and I'll wait for you to return."
Leonardo's eyes flickered with gratitude. He bowed deeply. "Mistress, thank you for choosing me that day, from among so many other semi-beastmen. Once my military merit is confirmed, I promise I'll come back and stay by your side."
