When Leo regained consciousness, Alice was the first person he saw she was waiting for him to wake up , the butterflies was flying around her

  "Gooood mooooorning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Alice started hopping around Leo

  "Ah Alice, good morning I had a nightmare yesterday... I was fighting a horseman—and he revealed that he was you...-."

  "Eh...." Alice stopped hopping , and looked at him, her expression filled with confusion.

  Leo started shaking his head, trying to do a reality check.

  "Ah...... it was real at last "

  Leo paused for a moment before asking

  "How does a small child like you possess such power?"

  "That's a secreeet !!!" Alice playfully raised a finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, teasing him.

  Leo lays and closed his eyes trying to process what's happening , then a butterfly gently landed on Leo's hands

  "That makes sense , these butterflies.. they showed me the path , the took the bandits down and even they helped me against that guardian they were helping me all the time until they turned against me when i fought you ... ""

  'These butterflies are yours right Alice ?'

  "Yes these are my butterflies "Alice laughed as its obvious

  "They helped me to raspy my sound too "" Alice said playfully, sticking her tongue out.

  "anyways why did you do all of that ? saving me ? , dueling me?"

  Alice took a moment before replying, shfting to a serious stare again

  "I led that rebellion , Leo , I am the person who influenced those helpless villagers to do all of that ''

  "But you have to become strong , Leo ,Richard isn't an easy person to defeat ""

  "Richard didn't fear the rebel.....He feared my presence, Leo"

  "100 years.. ok' Leo didn’t quite understand what was going on—his mind was still fixated on her age

  "Can i check something ?" Alice noticed something in Leo's forehead

  "I came for another reason... there's something special in you Leo , something you will realize it someday"

  "Something special?" Leo asked

  "Nothing haha! " so he doesn't know yet

  "Anyways let's move! We have a long journey ahead!!"
