The Medallion

"You've really changed a lot! You've appear much stronger now and I hardly even recognized you. The traces of that frail little boy that you once were is completely gone!" Lena gushed as she surveyed Rocky from head to toe. Although Rocky had changed greatly in the recent months, it only took Lena a short while after stepping out of the carriage to recognize him. She was aware that the new royal spirit manipulators would come visit to celebrate the Dragon Birth Festival, Rocky included.

The young nobles and spirit manipulators watched as Rocky socialized with Lena, talking, laughing, even holding hands and acting close towards each other. They all grew jealous of him. They were all surprised when they witnessed Rocky acting intimate with Marcia last time. Now, he was socializing with Lena, a Witch from the Holy Dragon Empire. It was all unexpected. Their brows furrowed as they tried to figure out how Rocky seemingly became so charismatic and attractive in the eyes of the two stunning beauties.

"I thought you'd say that you missed me." Rocky pouted and pretended to be disappointed.

Lena lightly chuckled and played along. She shook Rocky's hands and said, "Alright, fine. I missed you a little bit and I've been worried about you all the time. How have they been treating you at the dragon field? Are you being bullied over there?"

"Am I being bullied? Are you kidding me?" Rocky quipped. He then turned around to face his teenaged companions and shouted, "Hey! This beautiful girl is asking whether you guys have been bullying me! Is that right? Have you been bullying me?"

The teenagers' eyes widened in fear. They all hurriedly shook their heads. None of them dared to offend Rocky.

"You see? I'm the boss here!" Rocky said, glancing back at Lena with a big grin on his face.

What luck has befallen you? You're so imperious now." Lena put her hand over her mouth to stifle a laugh. Lena noticed that Rocky had morphed into a different man. He was energetic and even his personality had become bright and outgoing.

Royal Highness." Flint had frequently heard about Lena but had seldom met her. He knew that Lena had become a Witch in the Holy Dragon Empire when she was still very young. Like a princess, Lena had been coddling by the emperor and loved by thousands of people.

Could it be that you lost your heart to her at the first sight? Back off, pal. She's mine!" Rocky sarcastically exclaimed as he began to suspect that Flint might be harbouring feelings
