Edward II finally approached Irelia, his smile no longer containable. Without saying a word, he extended his hand and patted Miss Rabbit's shoulder.
Taking that pat was a big deal; it caused the Lady to stumble, nearly falling to the ground.
The Emperor was also a bit bewildered, apparently not expecting the tiny frame of the empire's foremost warrior to be so fragile. However, he quickly found an excuse for the young girl.
"You're injured, you were hurt in the recent battle. It's not serious, is it? Do you want Misha to have another look at you?"
"Um... no need, I can heal myself." Miss Rabbit mumbled.
Edward II nodded and then laughed heartily, "I was right about you, Irelia. You did well, defeating that winged bastard. Do you remember what I told you before? Thirty thousand gold lions, plus Crab's Corner, I'll give it all to you."
As soon as he uttered these words, the other competitors cast envious and jealous glances at the Lady.
