Two days later...
Inside his room, Leon sat on a chair, flipping through page after page with a serious expression.
For the past two days, he had buried himself in a mountain of books—not without reason. He was trying to deepen his understanding of the hidden races and their traits.
After all, as he had mentioned before, the elven race possessed countless books containing information about other races—though not as extensive as those about their own.
Still, it was more than enough for him to study their characteristics and behaviors.
That way, he could better strategize and prepare for future encounters.
*Knock!*
Just then, a knock came at the door. Moments later, it creaked open.
A beautiful woman appeared in the doorway, wearing a thin white nightgown.
She was none other than Zelda.
"Still not asleep, Leon?" she asked, stepping inside and giving him a curious look.
Leon wasn't surprised by her appearance, nor was he upset that she had entered without permission.
