"You have never been to Edenis Raphiel before, have you?" Edward asked Tessara.
Tessara shook her head lightly, her dark green hair shifting over her shoulders.
"No, my King. This is my first time."
"Then enjoy it as much as you want," Edward told her. "Do not mind me."
Tessara was a banshee. Like the others of her kind, she depended on Edward's mana to sustain herself, yet this had never been a burden to him. The amount of mana he possessed was large enough that the presence of a few banshees outside barely affected him.
Still, Tessara lowered her gaze in quiet refusal.
"I would rather discover Edenis Raphiel with my King," she said. "If you are willing."
Edward glanced at her for a moment, then gave a small nod.
"If that is what you wish."
His eyes shifted toward Samara.
