Elizabeth let out a little laugh, her slight drowsiness instantly vanishing.
"Mmm..." Her voice on the other end of the line turned languid. "So, brave Knight Li Wei, did you call me this late at night specifically to comfort the princess being bullied by an evil dragon?"
'Oh, my God, he must have seen how down I was about the Skull and Bones Society thing, so he's putting on this little act to cheer me up.'
'This feeling of being quietly cared for... it's actually quite wonderful.'
Li Wei glanced at Don Quixote, who was watching him with an approving gaze, and knew he had to keep playing along.
"Yes, Princess," Li Wei recited dryly. "I heard that your path was blocked by an evil wizard. I have come to swear my loyalty to you and, by the knightly virtue of compassion, to clear all obstacles from your way."
"Haha," Elizabeth said, rolling over. "Since Sir Knight is so loyal, what kind of reward will you want after you've helped me solve my problem?"
