Chapter 584: The Same Rank
Leon reached the bed first.
Loriel's green eyes opened slowly.
They remained unfocused for several seconds before finding him.
"Leon?"
He pulled her into his arms.
Loriel gave a quiet sound of surprise, but her arms soon rose around him.
Leon held her carefully.
He knew her body was healed. That did not remove the image of her falling from the dungeon covered in blood.
Loriel rested her head against his chest.
"I'm all right," she whispered.
"You almost weren't."
"I know."
They remained together for several moments.
Seraphine, Ira, and Vyra gathered beside the bed, but none of them teased Leon or Loriel.
Leon finally helped Loriel rest against the pillows again. He remained seated close beside her.
"How do you feel?" Seraphine asked.
"Tired."
"Any pain?" Leon asked.
Loriel moved her arms and legs carefully.
"No. Nothing hurts."
Her gaze returned to Leon.
"You healed me."
"Most of it."
"Most?"
