The Balance Between Us...

Aftermath

Time & Location: 7:00pm - In the castle; Dining Room

A/N: It was the same peaceful and quiet dinner (Reference at Chpt 3), but this time after Leafy goes away from the dining room. Four was worried sicked. 

Four (POV): I began to think over and over again what happened to that poor fire... He risked his life to save Princess Leafy on that terrible incident. Miraculously, he survived. I was little proud of his heart. The Air and Water objects said that Fire objects are cruel and heartless, but that fire shown me that those rumors were nothing but a hoax.

X: Your Majesty, is there anything wrong? (That makes Four jumped out of terror but it was just X questioning)

Four: Sorry for my actions. Say, do you believed rumors that Fire objects from Fire Zone are known for cruel and heartless acts?

X: No sir. I don't believed rumors like that. Why? Is there's something wrong during your bonding time with Princess Leafy?

Four: Well... The bandits controlled the carriage and head to Princess Leafy. But out of the blue, a fire pushed her to safety, willing to take the risk even it cost him a life. Miraculously, he survived...

X: Well that's explains why. I was told that there was an incident at Central Town. (Checks the clock, and its 8:01pm that fast O-O) Your Majesty, its 8pm. I'll head back my room. Goodnight, Your Majesty. (X goes out of the dining room, after few minutes of silence, Four goes to bed)

Time & Location: 8:02pm - Leafy's Bedroom

A/N: Leafy was sitting down on her bed, thinking of the incident.

Leafy (POV): This day is the worst day to me. I didn't really say the worst of all but... I thought that this day will be a happy day till those bandits try to kill me. But a fire... I'm not so sure but it is a fire, saved me for that crash. Unfortunately, the bandits escaped. Now I was thinking... Who is he? Why did he save me? I know this last question is very explained, but why? I don't know but I need to relax from this incident that I faced... ( she goes to sleep)

Time & Location: Same time - at the hallways of the castle

X walking the hallways of the castle, and he began to think of his mission for tomorrow

Flashback

Four: X! Before you leave. Tomorrow, go to the Central Town and find that fire. I want to give him an honor, by a surprise or in meeting.

X: Okay, Your Majesty.

Firey (POV): I sat down where I was sat yesterday, and it gaved me deja vu. I was thinking that something will happened, I know it- Wait, wake up Firey! What you say isn't real! Think to the reality. (Till he sees a carriage again, and he sees X walking out of the carriage and heading to him, he was wondering what did he do. He was afraid) Oh no! He's coming to me! What did I do?! Please don't tell me he was about to arrest me?!

Firey: Yes... I just took a day off, why?
