After the reunion between Reina and Dimas, the two locked themselves inside the room for a while.
No one dared to see or open the door. All of Leo's subordinates were convinced that his Master also needed his own time. And this time, maybe the woman was his lover.
They all still do not know the figure named Leo itself. Even the first Artemis to meet him did not know about the woman.
But everything is a little enlightened by Lucas' explanation. That it was possible, Leo knew something about the person Reina was looking for. Even more than that, perhaps Leo himself is the one. Remembering the reaction and attitude of Leo after hearing the name Dimas.
"Hailway.... So is that right? I didn't think Leo had a girlfriend anywhere else. Damn, will my bonus be reduced this time?" Artemis asked herself.
"Hahaha, Miss Artemis could have."
"I'm serious! Leo usually gives me a lot of bonus money! If only.... Her.... Uuggh, maybe I should start saving...."
Jokes and laughter filled the first floor of this inn. With so many people enjoying this cheerful atmosphere.
A few hours passed. Preparations for the big party began immediately.
The men helped with the preparation by cutting and cleaning the meat and vegetables. While the 2 women who were there began to prepare spices and cooking.
Artemis sits in the middle of the kitchen and tells the story of her encounter with Leo.
Everyone is used to Artemis who rarely works and talks a lot. Even so, Leo still paid a heavy price to him.
The reason is so simple that everyone can forget it.
The joy of Artemis itself can change the atmosphere of the house to be more comfortable and warm. Not only that....
"Ouch!" Shouted one of the female workers who accidentally sliced her finger deep enough.
"Flight treatment! Show me your finger." Said Artemis who immediately approached the woman and healed her quickly.
"Thank you, Miss Artemis."
"It's my job! Then! Continue the story earlier! You know, that Leo...."
Artemis started her long fairy tale again after sitting in the middle.
Meanwhile, the figures of Leo and Reina are still not visible. They still haven't come out of that room. Although a little worried, but Lucas just let it go.
His feelings suggest that Leo may have been Dimas himself, who changed his name after experiencing the terrible event. Or at least, that was what Reina told him.
Lucas just sat on the first floor enjoying drinks and snacks served. Every now and then, he seemed to notice how the Leo slaves behaved.
'It is impossible to make a smile that wide if you are in oppression. Leos.... You're actually a good person aren't you?' Lucas thought with a smile looking at the atmosphere of the kitchen that was so full of happiness.
But nevertheless....
Selene still locked herself in her room. He usually likes to show off his meat-cutting skills to other workers.
But this time....
No one knows what he's doing.
......***......
Right after sundown, the preparations for the great feast were finished.
Some people were seen arranging the table on the first floor. Put it together to be a big table when lined up. Others are seen carrying various dishes from the kitchen.
In the end, the table was filled with food and drinks that all looked so tempting.
Hot steam is still seen in most foods. While the cold ice looks so tempting in a large bowl containing fruit soup.
Roasted cows, beef satay, beef soup, and various other processed beef were seen lined up neatly on the table. Not to forget 4 baskets full of bread that is still warm.
"Someone, please call Leo and Selene to come out. We can't start this party without them." Artemis said to the crowd of Leo's subordinates.
"By soon, Miss Artemis!"
Lucas, who had not expected much before, seemed to have been wrong. He thought that the food served was just ordinary food.
But what was in front of him now looked like it came from the best restaurants in the city.
He sat down with an impatient attitude to taste the dishes. But unfortunately He still needs to wait for Leo to come to open this party.
'Dok! Doc!'
"Excuse me, Mr. Leo. Can you get ready to start this party? We can't start without your presence." Said the man who was Leo's subordinate.
'Bruk! Bruukk!'
Panicked footsteps could be heard from behind the door. Makes the guy a little confused. A moment after, a voice from Leo sounded.
"Tu-wait a minute! I'll be there soon!"
"I-that's right! Just a minute!" Sahut Reina who was also in the room.
They both looked panicked. But not wanting to bother with this incident, the man immediately agreed and now walked toward Selene's room.
'Dok! Doc! Doc!'
"Excuse me, Miss Selene. The first party for every 10th is about to begin. We hope Miss Selene can prepare herself and come downstairs soon." Said the Man.
Without a reply, the door was open. Showing Selene's figure with a appearance that looks disheveled. Even her hair that usually looks so beautiful now looks messy.
With slightly flushed eyes, Selene answered the man's request.
"alright. I'll be right down." Selene said before closing the door to her room.
This time as well, the man felt astonished by what was really happening in this place. But again, he did not really want to take a headache with the affairs of his superiors. So he just agreed and went back to the first floor.
Arriving below, he saw the figure of Leo and Reina who came out simultaneously from the workspace.
Leo himself is seen still arranging his clothes which rarely look tangled. So did Reina who was still combing her hair with both hands.
But other than that, there was something much more shocking to everyone in this inn. Even to the point of making them agape because of it.
"Everyone, we're going to party all out tonight! Eat and drink as much! If it's less, I'll bring you another! Just tell me what you want because today I will treat you completely!" Shouted Leo while raising his right hand.
His face changed completely. He looks to give a look full of enthusiasm and a smile that is so wide.
Even so....
They could only be further burned by the new spirit flames by his Master.
And it would be impoliteness if they did not answer that cry.
"Yahooooooohh!!!"
"Master Leo is the best!"
"Thank you very much, Mr Leo!"
"Master Leo! Love you!"
"Thank you very much, Goddess! I've been reunited with Mr Leo!"
Different types of screams and cheers began to be heard in this inn. Reina who was now standing beside Leo could only look at him with a much different gaze than before.
Both of his hands, which had finished tidying up his hair, were now gently hugging Leo's left hand.
On the other hand, Selene who was currently still standing on the second floor, saw the excitement of everyone on the first floor from in front of her room.
A thin smile began to be seen back on his face that had seemed so moody.
'What I just thought.... Isn't it natural that a person as great as Mr Leo is loved by many people? Even I though.... It doesn't matter, does it?' Selene thought in her heart while looking at Leo from a distance.
After establishing his mind, Selene immediately ran down to the first floor. His light but fast footsteps seemed to make almost no sound.
"Mr Leo, I'm sorry I'm late." Said Selene while slightly bowing her head to Leo.
Leo just smiled at Selene. While his right hand is seen stroking his beautiful and long white hair.
"There's no need to act like that to me from now on." Said Leo.
The words made Selene quite surprised. Even He could not resist the caress of his Master. He makes his face spontaneously red.
"Tu-Master?! What do you mean by that?"
"Besides Artemis, you are the person I can trust the most. And as my right hand man, you don't have to act like you're talking to someone important. Just relax with me." Leo answered with a smile.
Reina, who had been embracing Leo's left hand, was also hoarded in this conversation.
"That's right, Selene. From now on we'll be close friends."
Reina's words and smile finally freed the last doubt in Selene's heart. He who had been confused about how to behave towards Leo, was now enlightened.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Leo. But allow me to still call you Sir."
"Is that so? It doesn't matter to me. Ah right too, if there's something you want just say."
The warmth began to fill the white-haired girl's heart again. Soon, Leo walked to the table and drank the first time.
'Lark! Gluey! Glacier!'
"Fuaayahhhh!!! This drink is so fresh! You all! Have fun for the night! Because tomorrow, I'm ordering all of you to take a day off!" Shouted Leo as he slammed the wooden glass onto the table.
"Holiday!!!"
"Master Leo! Thanks very much!"
Everyone immediately partied by eating various types of dishes. If pulled back from the lives of each of Leo's subordinates....
It might be today....
It was the happiest point in their lives.
For Leo himself....
Today is the point where He has made amends. Mistakes when he thought he had saved a girl named Reina.
An act that actually made Reina suffer far more than what she imagined.
And so did Reina.
Today was the best day of his life. Because He managed to prove that the figure named 'Dimas' was still alive with a new name and life named 'Leo'.
A much stronger and much more reliable figure.
And what's more....
The person who became his first love. Neither for Leo, nor for Reina herself.
